Most Abstract art is literally just a niche for rich people.
i considered and then declined to edit my previous comment to add something about the absurdity of comparing the bougiest bourgeois art with jazz and punk.
getting your pants in a knot over some imaginary movement and “defense” no one cares about
art heads defend it and try to legitimize it. there are comments on this post complaining about allegedly reactionary left pushback against the bullshit.
also that's "movement" in the art movement sense, not like, the peoples front of whatever
at least the output of generative models usually looks like something. you could tell one to make abstract art and get something that looks more interesting and has the same effort to some of the shit upheld by art snobs.
