"high art" and the language of high art is ripe for satire. That I totally get.

But, I would actually beg, to not let those who indulge in high art language colonise "art" as well. Art is for you and me, everyone. twats writing bollocks is for the "elite"

Art history is a mixed bag, it is also for all of us, even if it tedious.

I agree, and as the article makes clear, this current liminalism really does not come from the world of "High Art":

>As an internet phenomenon, the most recent iteration of liminal aesthetics can be primarily traced to a 2019 Creepypasta collaborative short story entitled "The Backrooms"

This is ground-up, the opposite of high art. It's even kind of "outsider art".
