It's not up to you guys to say we "do not even understand". It's too handwavy and a false premise. We could argue the same... you guys "don't understand" how much bullshit there is in contemporary art to the point it's basically noise at this point.

To take a reductive view, art is people saying stuff. It's one thing to think that what is being said is not worth saying; but you seem to claim that nothing is being said. And that's just bragging about your own ignorance.

> art is people saying stuff.

Maybe to you, but to me that's speech, not art. Calling me ignorant doesn't make your viewpoint more valid.
