Artistry Slurpation

Artistry Slurpation (noun)
/ˈär-tist-rē slərp-ˈā-shən/

A cultural phenomenon where artistic works are mindlessly consumed, stripped of context, and repackaged as disposable content—often enabled by technology, profit motives, or performative engagement.

• Etymology:

1. Artistry (from Latin "ars": skill, craft): The sweat, intent, and soul poured into creation.

2. Slurpation (from "slurp": to consume noisily, greedily): The sound of tech, corporations, or trends guzzling down art like a cheap smoothie, leaving only pulp.

• Why the term justifies itself:

1. It names a theft: The theft of time (an artist’s years of labor), context (a work’s cultural roots), and humanity (the imperfections that make art mean something).

2. It refuses euphemisms: No more calling AI plagiarism “innovation” or cultural erasure “curation.” Slurpation is slurpation; greedy, messy, and dehumanizing.

3. It demands accountability: By defining the harm, it gives artists and audiences language to fight back.
1. Social Media Callout:
“Just saw someone use an AI app to ‘Ghibli-fy’ their selfie. That’s not cute it’s artistry slurpation. Miyazaki would hate this shit.”

2. Chatting About Trends:
“Ugh, TikTok’s turning ‘Grave of the Fireflies’ into ‘sad anime edits’ with Billie Eilish songs. Peak artistry slurpation using trauma for clicks.”

3. Critiquing Fast Fashion:
“Shein’s selling ‘tribal print’ dresses ripped from Navajo designs? That’s artistry slurpation, not culture. Indigenous artists get nothing while they profit.”

4. Music Snob Rant:
“Spotify’s new ‘Woke Jazz’ playlist is just artistry slurpation. They took Nina Simone’s protest songs and turned them into brunch background noise.”

5. Texting a Friend:
“Saw your post using Frida Kahlo as a ‘vibe check’ filter. Kindly delete it, dude that’s artistry slurpation. Her art’s about pain, not your aesthetic.”

Scam artistry

Artwork in the form of taking money from people deemed to be fools by the scam artist.
People thought the Prepare for Martial Law/Plant your seeds for a Nuclear Holocaust/Hide Your Guns/Doomsday Preparation reading and video material was satire by the people selling it until they realized how serious these folks looked and sounded about their little moneymaking scam. It wasn't as profitable as Carvana or Uber, but it was in the same league of scam artistry.
