Is this the least culturally significant decade in history? Not even just for books, I literally can't think of anything big from this decade.
>literature - fucking nothing, My Struggle started in the 2000s, the most significant literary figure of the decade is R*pi fucking K**r
>cinema - the biggest films I can think of from the decade from a more artsy point of view are Drive and It's Such A Beautiful Day, that's it
>music - probably the best field of the decade, even if I don't like them there are albums which will be remembered like MBDTF and TPAB (one of these is good but bloated, overall has a 5-track streak of 10/10s, the other is absolute nothing which soibois love, not horrible but not much, see if you can guess which), going more obscure, albums like Have One On Me and Peasant are great
>emerging media - The History Of The Whole World I Guess is probably the best video on YouTube objectively speaking, there's been some good stuff on YouTube but most of the best stuff is reviews of some kind, not 100% original content, also it's had a huge downward spiral since Vine shut down
My guess as for why is that now we have more accessible knowledge of what we've had before than ever, the kind of people who actually give a shit about art and culture aren't as concerned with current movements as with improving their own knowledge. There is as such more of a tendency to wallow in the past leading to bands like Greta Van Fleet

what are you talking about, anon, i'm writing a book and there are tons of masterpieces being written that go underground because publishing houses are trash and any intelligent author will turn to self publishing. unfortunately without the marketing strategies we're relegated to obscurity. as for other mediums i'm fucking laugh, particularly at the music one, as if any of that trash will ever be remembered. i don't know much about movies, but i bet in the next decade or so we'll discover more obscure works from this era, because movies are getting cheaper to produce.

God damn, attain some cultural literacy and then come back. You’re not wrong about this being a stunted decade for the arts, but you’re clearly not diving deep enough if you think Drive is one of the best or most significant movies of the last ten years.

Culture as being a singular widespread phenomenon is dead. Corporate and capitalistic entities have poached cultural objects into extinction. So greedily targeting anything with a widespread appeal, killing it so they can masquerade wearing its corpse.
Cultures can now only survive in closed-off communities small enough to avoid being targeted for exploitation, or poor enough to not be profitable to exploit. These subcultures either grow large enough to be corrupted, or disperse peacefully in which case they wont be remembered save by the participants.

There are semi-closed off communities like the MFA programs and their surrounding milieu, but for some reason it tends to produce forgettable garbage. Maybe because it's kind of settled into a hierarchy with privileges for those who play the game, instead of a place where people try to hammer out good ideas into great works.

It's hard to find the diamonds when you're flooded with shit. 99% of media created in any time period is complete trash but over time it's filtered out and forgotten so old stuff just seems to be so much better on average. Mean while there are authors alive right now who will go their whole lives unnoticed only for their works to blow up after their deaths and become cultural relics. People from the future will look at those pieces as great works of our time but mean while virtually nobody is reading it in 2018.

i think alan moore touched upon the fact that culture is dead, he makes a bitter statement about it in one of his issues of League Of Extraordinary Gentleman 2009 version

>In 2009, Harry Potter symbolize the downfall of storytelling in our era of mega-franchises stretching across every level of media. Or, in Sneddon’s telling: “He is surely no stand-in for one particular character but of the current obsession for replacing stories with money-generating franchises. Today, film rights are bought before publication, comics are written as storyboards, and teenage celebrities are given memoirs.”

You can continue with your appeals to authority, because you've heard some undergraduate kid in your college saying "man bach is like so cool dude" now you parrot it to the world. Music evolves, grandpa, and Kendrick right now is at the forefront, not only of hip hop production (remember, he did bring back Jazz to the mainstream), but more importantly as a poet, for example, on Backseat Freestyle, he's acknowledging Joyce's inspiration (which he already he confirmed), by bringing stream of conciousness into mainstream hip hop. On TPAB he's experimenting with atonal rap and so on. Bach is a footnote in history books that no one reads. Start actually listening to music, grandpa, start with the modernists.

The next step is a production of art where the audio, visual, literary, poetic, performance components are all devised, produced and released by one single person. Art was always an act of imitation of God and with reduced costs and increasing technology we are in the perfect state to produce something that gets closer to THE thing, that is Creation, than we ever have before. I already have more than hundreda of hours of material sitting ob my shelf ready to hit the light of the world. I would regret telling you what the next big thing is, but you people are stupid enough to look back upon past greats and whine why we dont have anything good right now, so you are likely too stupid and talentless to produce anything worthwhile anyways.

We need another Wagner to influence the arts with a modern gesamtkunstwerk. Arts are intermingling but nobody has created a true masterpiece utilizing everything in the modern cultural practices and the knowledge we have available to us. With the pace of technological and cultural development such a work would probably be already outdated when it came out, but total works of art would still be ultimate statements of the traditions preceding them. A problem with this is that every field of art is advanced and highly specialized according to the tradition that precedes it and competitive culture. This means that to make such a work on an individual level it would require more than a lifetime of study to create an actually artistically meaningful and revolutionary synthesis.

The lack of interactivity. The synthesis of arts is often done poorly in film, aspects that are strictly in the cinematic tradition take the leading role away from the score or the score is lazy, either without innovation or stolen from somewhere. A total work of art would incorporate all aspects of art sublimely, not just focus on something specific. Modern film is a good basis for developing one, I agree.

The 21st century is sure shaping up to be fun. we got dozens of competing batshit apocalyptic ideologies, culture collapsing into recursive memery, liberal universalist consensus is dead and nearly 100% of the population has a mental illness of some sort. Like I said fun.

>Nonwhite white supremacists (I know several)
>Theistic Fascist Satanism
>Islamocommunism
>Islamofascism
>Satanic extremism (see: Order of the Nine Angles)
>Surveillance state fetishism (masochists/exhibitionists who accept that the only way to survive in panopticon is to get off on it)
>Virtual escapism (unironically believe that the virtual world is superior to the physical one)
>Chemical escapism (same as above but with drugs)
>Government as financial dominatrix
>Social Darwinism but with Patreon
>Aesthetic supremacy

You must understand that the defining aspect of the millennial condition is that they want to die. Millennials in the West are attempting to annihilate themselves by any means necessary and all ideologies are merely accessories in service of this seldom acknowledged goal.

I'll ask here, since it seems an apropiate thread.
I've dreamed about making games, all the conection of interactivity, seems like the ultimate art.

At the same time, making a good game requires such superhuman task, that is very hard for an AAA company, less alone a single artist to make something that can move the media forward.
Sure, there are exceptions like undertale and stardew valley, but even then, it tends to fall short to being compared to AAA titles, and the industry wants to move in this mindset of the winner takes it all, even if that means bigger budgets and more megalomany.

Is there a realistic solution for a single artist?
I've realized the solution is not to play the videogame game (not an intended pun) and just make something original that creates a new branch, rather than being a copycat.
So, I've started to think it would be possible to make something that looks and feel like a digital magazine (made in a game engine) where you simply read the text and enjoy the graphics (usually made using basic graphic design principles), maybe enjoy some waifu or comic cutscenes, at the same time some basic chiptune music and some basic interactivity in terms of minigames.

It would be a combination of diferent art genres into something new, but at the same time not a revolution.

>Duginism
>Deep ecology
>Environmental accelerationism (Landian counterpart to deep ecology, unrestrained terraforming and genetic engineering)
>Marxskepticism (communists who believe that Marx was wrong about the dialectic and capital is unstoppable)
>Esoteric Hitlerism (direct pipeline from Petersonian kek worship)
>Nonwhite white supremacists (I know several)
>Islamocommunism
>Islamofascism
>Satanic extremism (see: Order of the Nine Angles)
>Surveillance state fetishism (masochists/exhibitionists who accept that the only way to survive in panopticon is to get off on it)
>Virtual escapism (unironically believe that the virtual world is superior to the physical one)
>Chemical escapism (same as above but with drugs)
>Government as financial dominatrix
>Social Darwinism but with Patreon
>Aesthetic supremacy

Lots of books written on all this in the last decade. You must understand that the defining aspect of the millennial condition is that they want to die. Millennials in the West are attempting to annihilate themselves by any means necessary and all ideologies are merely accessories in service of this seldom acknowledged goal.

Nothing, I just think he's a figure who's part of 2010s culture, albeit one operating mostly in the background

He's more or less the best "New Weird" fiction writer, the "New Weird" being just about the only genuine literary movement that seems to have acquired any recognition this decade

He was a massive influence on True Detective (perhaps the most popular and acclaimed post-Mad Men television program)

Technically he's been writing since the 80s, but the Penguin Classics reissue and True Detective only happened in the past five years. To me he represents this decade's rekindled interest in Lovecraftian nihilistic awe.

I'm pretty sure what you've described has been done before (I believe the Serial Experiments Lain PS1 game does something almost exactly as you describe, but I can't read Jap).
Of course, you don't have to be innovative or revolutionary to be original.

Its a meme doe. A movie isnt just about quirky art direction, aNd even om that front: it needs an aesthetic of its own time if it wants to not be some atemporal shit made for and by art directors, that crappy pastel eastern european 1900s was completely artificial

>The next step is a production of art where the audio, visual, literary, poetic, performance components are all devised, produced and released by one single person.
Isn't this what Andy Warhol started and David Bowie pretty much epitomized? Isn't interdisciplinary work already a touchstone of modern art?

Elaborate? Do you mean something like Wilde's decadence?

>Kendrick Lamar subverted the whole hip hop genre
The saddest part is that this grand act of subversion amounted to showing the slightest amount of self-awareness, and he then precedes to ruin it all by ending the album with a Tupac interview. The whole thing is just so silly, but I guess it still managed to resonate with people.
