Well, that was never my intention. I just wanted a thread that was like a 'virtual museum.' Where people could stop by and look and post something if they felt the urge.

Though, I do think you conflate your concept of the adolescent 'goth' movement with modern art and I think that's unfortunate.

I think it's best to approach a person's art with an open mind. It's when we relate our conception of another's vision with our own understanding that we so often miss the point.
