Interesting that people on social media with a clichéd taste in music feel the need to punch down on creative artists who nevertheless end up influencing mainstream music decades later.
You don’t get it because you probably are not an artist yourself. Maybe humble yourself and accept it from the artists rather than be “sad”. Am sure there is plenty which you know about more than they do.
I don’t get Miles Davis’ Bitch’s Brew or Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask but am not going to disparage them. Musicians more advanced than me say it is awesome so I merely respect that. I don’t have to listen to the albums every afternoon until I get it
I’m an artist. Been one for forty years, both studio/session and stage- And Yoko is a hot mess. It’s not art just because it’s a performance. And it’s not good just because you hang a “misunderstood” sign on it.
It’s “art” for snobs that want to appear cultured and elite. It’s skill-less performance for an audience that can know better.
Fun fact: Interlude in B-52’s Rock Lobster was inspired by Yoko Ono.

Which in turn inspired Lennon to resume recording with Yoko.

TIL: B-52s because of the hairdos that looked like airplane nose cones. Fred Schneider said it.
They were so hot in 1979. Even the studio album. Can’t imagine having seem them live.
Unfortunately I just cannot listen to or watch Yoko Ono, and her reminiscing with Kate Pierson in what I assume are the 90s is just sad.
edit: I’m not “disparaging” Ono. Sheesh. And the interview makes me sad for Kate Pierson just as much.

And yet
younorny seem to like B-52’s who were inspired by Yoko.They were not hacks.
Tf is a “norny”?
And for the record, Led Zeppelin was inspired by American blues and I absolutely love them!
I fucking HATE blues music of ANY nationality. Should I hate Led Zeppelin??
Norny is the person you were defending. Can’t be bothered typing their full username.
I’m not defending anyone. Maybe stop looking at nuanced discussion as a competition sport?
