sup /lit/, I'm looking for a word that denotes a short lived novelty appreciation of the arts.. or an object used to give the impression that you're cultured or artsy

I think it might be greek

I'm going to make one up on the fly: faddeur. That is, a person who appreciates fads.

read all of the above.
then read Kant's Critique of Judgement and the Letters of Schiller, Wilde's "the Decay Lying" and whatever you get your hands at of Nietzsche's and Schopenhauer's.
And now you know everything on western Aesthetics.
>give the impression that you're cultured or artsy
just be cynical about it, anon.
if you want plebeian instacynicism with nothing to back it up, read bourdieu.
