Art is self congratulatory bullshit.

No it's not. Modern society is absolutely dependent upon all forms of media.

Artists are people without real jobs.

Seriously, I'm not even trolling, I don't give a flying fuck through a rolling donut about art.

Well, good for you. Last person in the world I'd normally quote, but, here goes:

"In the deepest hour of the night, I confess to myself three things: I would die if I was forbidden to write, forbidden to love, or forbidden to fashion."
-Lady Gaga

In other words, I'd really rather be dead if I couldn't create art.

Here's something to add to the OP: http://archive.kpfk.org/parchive/mp3/kpfk_110119_150030goharrison.MP3

"In other words, I'd really rather be dead if I couldn't create art. "

Bullshit. Its easy to say stuff like that when you're not dying.

No, seriously. Let's say I was in a country where art was suddenly outlawed, and it was also impossible for me to get out of the country. I would not live for very long. I'm being as serious as you are.

As an extension, I'm a student and I live off government allowance which is payed to me fortnightly because as a student I'm considered an asset to my government/society. I could also have a part-time job in the service sector, and make my standard of living a little more comfortable but I don't because I don't want to work in hospitality or any job that isn't creative in some way - I did it for months last year and it was a living hell and I'll never do it again.

Sounds like day dreaming to me.

But hey, a quote from Lady Gaga certainly trumps the instinctual urge to survive.

Shaddap. ANYONE can make their wellbeing off of art if they want to. It's not about talent anymore, it's about audacity. (And I've got a little too much of that)...
