As I've seen with conservatives in my own life, if you do something new and transgressive in art, conservatives call it "trash" and "not real art." This is definitely not a hard rule, but in my experience, conservatives have fixed ideas of what qualifies as good or real art. And what's ironic is that they revere the classics so highly even though many of those classics were groundbreaking and highly subversive for the time. I don't think it's fair to suggest conservatives can't make good art, or even that they can't innovate. They can and have. However, it's a bit weird to suggest that the conservative ecosystem will be the source of the next big new art movement. I can't think of a time when that has ever been the case.

About your point on conservatives, the next big art movement is almost certainly not going to come from the right, not because conservatives can't make good art, but because when they do, they basically never do it as a movement. Whenever conservatives do make good art, it is typically an individual artist who just happens to be conservative, and they don't seem to want or care if other conservatives follow them. And if people do follow them, it's usually not a wave of other conservatives, it's just a mix of people from all political perspectives. So yeah, conservatives can make good art, but they never seem to create art movements.

[@fiveoh3814]

I think the word 'movement' will be a misnomer given that these hard and fast categorisation occur either through art crtitics or by fans making it easier to find similar content for them. With the right, i mean the economic right, they rarely ever see themselves in a balance of individual-community (that can exist in the left too, mostly the academic left) which makes them lose their touch to a general and larger working class or atleast middle income group demographic. Their lack of balance in their individuality repells any form of community driven exercise in art or culture.

[@alroth1035]

Moreover, when a conservative artist makes music that is actually pushing boundaries or the likes (plenty have mentioned Frank Zappa, Igor Stravinsky, Nico, Luigi Russolo, etc.), it's more often that the conservative *audience* will be the first to dismiss it or be actively opposed to it, rather than embrace it. Like, I'd say there's a few scenes out there whose founders can often be very conservative and reactionary, such a neofolk, black metal, martial industrial, futurism et al, but this is hardly the music (or art) that ever seems to translate to the wider conservative culture, and either remains in a radical niche or is actually consumed a lot more by people that may be on the exact opposite end of the political spectrum.

Also him including the bit in mortal man where 2 pac says "the poor will literally eat the rich, they will be so fat and appetizing" this is not a collaboration, this is something he decided to include. Might not be his own idea of the world but he at least respects it enough to include it in the closer.

On the censorship bit, I’d beg to differ. While, yeah, a girl in a thong on an American band’s album art might pass as “approvable” to specific audiences nowadays, where it would have sparked outrage in the past (thinking 70’s more than 60’s), there’s definitely a more sensitive “filter” over streaming material that is hoping to reach an international audience due to different censorship laws across international lines. In that sense, (in the USA anyway,) it seems that the actual stuff being created has a lot less censorship rules on it out the gate, but the things we see everyday in public are more carefully screened. To look at in another way, lots of content on the cover of Japanese records that was acceptable by Japan’s censorship standards in the past have become taboo, almost to a hilarious extent to my American eyes. There are Japanese album covers I’ve seen from the 70’s and 80’s that would make the KZbin algorithm have an aneurysm. 😵‍💫 USA rules might be different, but Japan has definitely gotten more strict about what’s allowed to be mass-marketed, not less. Edit: except for foreign-language lyrics on loudspeakers! There is an office supply store the city where I live that blasts uncensored top-40 and metal with f-bombs and n-words galore. 🤦‍♂️ Living in Japan is…interesting.

I generally agree that the right doesn't really create great art movements, but, looking back a bit, Stravinsky and Wagner were definitely on the right. Notably not conservative though, they were both reactionary. And, one has to hand it to them, great musical innovators. But it's true, I'd say in modern times great art movements haven't come from the right and will not in the future.

[@EricHamm]

What the fuck dude? Was he talking about 1700-1800 artists? Nobody cares what Wagner's political beliefs are or were. Both those fuckers transcended time with their timeless releases. But also how may big artists were around in 1700. NOT THAT MANY!

[@cmbeadle2228]

Wagner wasn't really that right wing as the reputation he has. He was in fact, for most of his life, a socialist agitator, to the extent he was kicked out of Dresden by participating in a radical democratic insurrection in 1849. He would basically spend his life very depressed about his numerous debts and the failed promises of the radical/left causes he supported (and in general this was when the cause of German nationalism moved from a hobby horse of liberals, democrats and socialists to one co opted by Prussian politicians) which led to a pretty poisonous anti semitism and a general move to the centre (the anti semitism was also contributed to by his association with the anarchist Bakunin, also a massive anti semite). Still you can see his radical beliefs in, say, the Ring Cycle, which has often been interpreted as an indictment of capitalism by people like George Bernard Shaw and Theodor Adorno (and you don't have to stretch to see where they're coming from) The big elephant on the room was Nazism, and Hitler's love of Wagner. This is more on the general failure of German nationalism to live up the radical values its initial partisans believed were inherent. Wagner himself, his repulsive views on anti Semitism aside, always seemed to consider himself on the revolutionary vanguard both politically and aesthetically (indeed, the Nazi attempt to ossify culture and discourage "degenerate art" ignore that Wagner was always pushing against the conservative sentiments of the day in terms of music).

I would say technical or experimental or just plain different-sounding is much more interesting and keeps you wanting to come back to analyze deeper. If something is stuck in your head after one listen, chances are you've already analyzed most of what the song has to offer. Of course, these are all generalizations and there exist songs that can somehow break the system, being both extremely complex and extremely catchy.

The argument that conservatives will create the next wave of music is honestly just someone who doesn't understand what a conservative is. The term is in reference to social and fiscal conservatives. If they mean strictly fiscally conservative people who are socially progressive, that's still a liberal, and specifically a libertarian. Social conservatives will never create a new wave of art because by definition to be socially conservative is to stay with the known and established and push back against the new and unprecedented. So to imply that a group who is in the minority, clinging to the known and the past, and has traditionally all throughout history followed this trend, will lead a revolution is just not possible. The moment a group of social conservatives make a new form of art and make a social movement around it, they are by definition no longer socially conservative

I agree with the person that said being too catchy is a knock against a song, but with the caveat it's an eventual knock. So many songs in the 90s-2000s started out as a song I loved and then radio beat them into the ground and I can't stand a couple still to this day.

Conservatives ARE reactionary in nature. They are reacting to progress taking place around them. There are no conservative artists who make great art imo. Theres only been a few notable ones from history and most of the time like anthony says art is born from progressive individuals (at least in the context of the society around them) People seem to try and put the definitions of these ideologies into stone when in reality they are ever changing and evolve to whatever societal progress is taking place at that moment in time. For example, abraham Lincoln ended slavery, he may not have done it for the “right” reasons and may have held some dastardly personal beliefs about the inherent intelligence of races, yet he was still a progressive simply for those ideas going against the status quo at the time.

[@FirstnameLastname-nd9wx]

you can be conservative and not reactionary. a lot of conservatives are reactionary, but the concept of conservatism doesn't mean you have to be. it just means you want to preserve the status quo. as for the conservative artists thing, i think it's true as a generalisation, but to say there are none is a bit too much imo. yes experimentation breeds good art, we don't want boring artists who just do stuff that have been done before. but 1. you can make good music that doesn't necessarily push boundaries, you can make a solid album while staying in your lane. and 2. being conservative politically or socially doesn't mean you'll be conservative artistically. there's a large correlation because conservatives obviously tend to be conservative minded but its not 100%. to say there are no good conservatives artists is a reactionary take. just say conservatism, fear of experimentation, sticking to a formula etc. too much in art is not a positive trait. and leave it at that. no need to generalise just because others do.

As someone who hails from a very conservative place (poland), i think a certain level of stubbornness and resentment towards new stuff is engraved in conservatism. Polish conservatives generally don't like horror movies (cause they are very untraditional for us), Rap music, metal, comic books in general, etc. Any form of music more challenging than Rock is viewed as a 'kids shitty music', because they cannot comprehend the idea of finding abrasive, noisy, or unconventionally pretty music interesting.
