Always remember, music is also art. Now imagine a world where theres no music. You can't listen to anything while driving, riding the bus, going shopping etc.
You can listen to things while driving, but it is either NPR, talk radio, or church sermons.
Not NPR, that's writing and journalism, which id argue is definitely an art.
Have fun with 500 versions of Alex Jones though.
No, there's even art in Alex Jones. Remember bad art exists and is still art.
"The other 499 Alex Joneses are turning the frogs gay!"
I think I’d kill myself if I had to listen to NPR’s Up First without the jingle. I think that jingle keeps me sane.
I don't even..... this thought is so vile. It's bumming me out and I already agreed with you, I didn't need this analogy. Fuck that's depressing..... FUCK!
People might actually start singing again
I don't listen to anything in any of those scenarios.
Many people are not listening music 24/7.
Music is nice, I don't say it's not. But you could 100% live without it.
It's not that I disagree with the principle, but on the mentioned occastions, I will ~99% of the time listen to podcasts or audio books instead of music.
You might be shocked to learn that books is art, too.
I mean everything could be considered art if you look at it from the right angle :o
Sure, but novels, paintings, and songs are traditional arts, they are art first and foremost.
Books are a creative endeavor. Putting the same screw 10000 isn't a creative endeavor.
The code I write might be considered abstract art by some, but I'm a developer, not an artist. Much like how someone who writes books get catagorized as an author even though books can be considered art.
Yeah it would suck but it is pretty unnecessary in terms of survival and productivity.
Social media manager and telemarketers are far more useless though. So I disagree with the list
Hard disagree. Humanity flourished when we had the free time to think, play, and create instead of just hunting and gathering all the time. Language, collaboration, imagination all grew thanks to art.
Culture doesn't exist without art.
The rest of that column is basically "mosquitos", blegh. Maybe we can get some birds to eat them.
