This is such an infuriatingly dismissive and abrasive answer, even with not being part of that community. All metal is just trivial guitar play and angry shouts right? Paintings are just the correct application of colors and other materials.

Sometimes it's better to accept you're not part of a conversation and to either shut up, or ask a very confused "But why?"
Good, I'm glad you find it infuriating. It likewise annoys me when I see people praise low-effort garbage, so I see it as only fair.

And I've talked to artists who have told me they agreed with me, and that they think pseudo-artistic shitposts devalue the work they put into their own pieces.
I too confused art with craft for quite a long time. it's another framing of the difference between being interested in why versus being interested in how.
