/lit/ - Literature

Music is the lowest form of art. It is the art of the lowest common denominator, the art form that takes no effort to appreciate, it is meant to be consumed. Even videogames, whether you consider them slop or art, take a certain degree of dedication and cognitive ability to complete, not to mention the level of talent and patience necessary to make one. Albums or even an old symphony can be listened to in an hour. You don't engage with the work in the same way as a film or book, the notes carry you through the emotions you're meant to feel. You have no agency, no input, no critical thinking.
