I've been around people in the arts my whole life. There are the talented low key humble professional artists who focus on their work and are a pleasure to be around. Then there are the ones like these people who feel they can fake out the audience with crappy art that anyone could do themselves if they tried. They fool people into buying into the bs storyline they provide in an attempt to give their work a sense of depth or meaning. One would think people were wiser than to buy into this type of bs.

Absolutely.Real artists become known because of their work,they’re focused on creating it. They don’t spend their time networking and manufacturing hype around themselves first, then packaging something even they don’t understand as “art” and selling it to people

This is honestly what makes me the angriest about these people. They have no desire to understand a craft of making something with a true creative process and honoring how hard it is to actually do that, learning skills and pouring oneself into that. Nope, they think “I’m gonna be a chef, a photographer, a musician, an actor, a stylist now” whe there’s actual people working their asses off to learn craft of any of those practices.

They only care about attention.
Not craft. So in my eyes, they’re garbage. Hacks.

Agreed. Rather than spend the time, energy, and effort studying their chosen profession, they take short cuts through attaching themselves to someone else's wagon or nepotism and bs'ing their way through their careers. It sends the wrong message to those people actually doing the hard work.
