The Death of Art

The death of art is a term or a phrase used to describe an event or an action done by an individual artist or collective society (mostly by mindless consumerism) to strip away the identity or the basic principals of art for corporate monetary gain. It is important to note that this is the most basic explanation of the term and Its use may not always comply with the one written above. In conclusion, the use of the term is subjective.

To understand how the term "The Death of Art " can be subjective, we have to look at some examples that stray from the mainstream portrayal of art. For example, recently there was a rising wave of popularity of music, painting, and other multimedia that on the surface doesn't possess any meaning, emotion, or technical skill. For some, who prefer art to have complex storytelling, a wide range of well-executed ideas, and overall cohesiveness, they might consider mindless enjoyment of media that sole reason for existing is to exist, to be the death of art. Others might find over-sexualization in media to be harmful to the quality and respect of the art those artists produce. But maybe the most objective way "The Death of Art" can be used in is a situation where art itself is disrespected by acts of plagiarism, making a profit by manufacturing success and manipulating the public. Some newest Drake discography and Justin Bieber "Yummy" scandal can be named as recent examples.

tl;dr - the death of the art is in the eyes of the beholder.

Great Lag Spike of Death

This death occurs exclusively in the world of online multiplayer computer games, namely Garrys Mod. This is experienced only on online servers with a lot of addons, players, and ping. This causes the entire server to freeze up, and time out many players, and crash the remaining. This is awfully similar with the recent DDoS strikes on other multiplayer games.

I tried to play Teh Build Box on Garrys Mod but we experienced The Great Lag Spike of Death.

brutal slamming death metal

A subgenre of death metal where "slam" riffs and brutality are heavily emphasized. Usually just called slam for short. Slam riffs are characterized by their slow to mid-tempo, low notes, and groove. NOT to be confused with a deathcore/metalcore breakdown.

Chambered Nautilus: "I fucking love brutal slamming death metal."
Giant Isopod: "Same here dude. Have you heard that one sick slam in Devourment's Heaving Acid?"
Emo Jellyfish: "OMG! My favorite slam band is Avenged Sevenfold!"
Chambered Nautilus: *shoots chain lightning at him*

death metal

Actually, Death Metal isn't simply about satan/death/killing ect. Grindcore/death metal masters NAPALM DEATH have had a long history of political statments in thier music. The afformentioned Satan enlightens and brings forth religious ideas and concepts. In reality, Death Metal can be inteligent. However, bands like Obituary and Cannibal Corpse stay true to the no-brains-kill-em-all style, (good fun) but try not to tar all music of one genre with the same brush.

I so wish your thinking power wasn't fueled by ignorance.

Death's not a bad guy, he's just really good at his job.
