Whether in art or politics people are taught to set their sights very low, they’re taught that all they deserve is trash and that they should be thankful for it. Yeah some people are just inherently dumb, shit people, but most people have been fucking intellectually mutilated by capitalisms need to generate docile workers and consumers.
If it was possible to see a top 50 or a nyt bestseller list for the bourgeoisie, or rather for people born into the bourgeoisie, I’m sure it would show much better taste. Which is horrendous to think about.
Nah even then a lot of the bourgeoisie just settle for pretentious expensive trash. They just want to feel superior in their tastes, so they aim for things that are inaccessible to regular people. Take expensive wines for instance. I'm sure some of the best wines in history have been fairly inexpensive, but you'll never see those ones touted as the best. There's simply no discriminating for taste and some people just want to be spoonfed whatever bullshit. It takes time and effort to actually be critical of things in order to separate the gems.
