Why do young white American males in particular, or any "neckbeards" in general (to use a meme term), fail to grasp modern art?

These people seem to be stuck at a high school-level of cultural understanding. They feel smug about realizing that modern art is just "nonsense paint splashing", and they're satisfied with that analysis and never contemplate it again. Yet they have no actual insight into modern art (aside from the lewd controversial pieces that draw media attention), no especial knowledge of art in general (other than being able to name Da Vinci and Michelangelo) and simply do no realize that there's more to art than it being "pretty and difficult to make".

How did this phenomenon come about? Why do young men of today not grasp abstract concepts? How do we fix them?
