art consumed by the masses was created by rich kids or kids with rich parents. if your parents are rich you are rich unless they arent giving you that money when they become skeletons. art created by rich kids or kids of rich parents is designed for the masses for mass exposure and mass appreciation and competitive desire. art from the underground is made for misfits and rejects and also tthe masses but is misunderstood by the masses .

life is what you makeofit…

recording drums for the 3rd cruelster album on sunday. it is going to be very good according to us and i mean the time we will have making it, not the album, but the album is exciting. good news coming soon for the carp too. there was a worry that many modern labels do not want to mingle with working class punk but we found a sweet sweet spot for this new album and blue collar is back baby. uninspired punk borne of the trust fund baby is still very common and we shhould all be very frightened. let me tel you something quickly i thought about with the bluecollar workingclass situation with art. rich kids with a trust fund have a lot of free time and they end up making a little bit of art that they are then able to afford to buy connections and promote that art. lots of eyes and the common folk become numbed towards art in general becayse of its homogeneity. some rich kids with a trust fund are able to afford to take their time making art that is sophisticated and approachable to other trust fund babies and boomers and middle class and beyond. these artists can then adopt the worldview that success is not relative but black and white. we cruelster make art when we have free time and it is for people who can consume art whenever they can howveer they can find it and free as possible. art made by working class as opposed to the bored rich. if this seems like a high horse then find a blog with a moral ambiguity complex because you wont find it on this fucking bloggersite. or you are waiting for the death of a wealthy relative who loves you a lot
