it must be the same with visual art. and as far as this art goes, i hate it. its just my opinion. no big deal. in fact, i think its so bad that no arguement can make me think otherwise or find any significance in it. the man mixed some colors together to make one color and put it on a canvas. i think that is, for lack of a better word, lame. if that was his intent then great. although i cant see this man (or any artist) getting satisfaction out of people not liking his work.

Well said and duly noted.
But it's still "art", if you will! :-)
Personally, I can't
stand heavy metal ("thrash metal") or some of the "ghetto" rap music you hear. I don't like a lot of the R&B that seems to clog the charts these days either.
My preference? I would prefer to sit down and listen to a Miles Davis record, or perhaps something by Chopin. Quite a difference from Regurgitator as you can see.
But I don't say "That's not music!".
