Sadly yes, this capitalist culture is a race to the bottom for the arts. Pic related probably has more raw musical ability than the greatest composers and he's making radio Disney trash because that's his cultural milieu.

>more raw musical ability than Mozart
pffft
Wyatt Turner
operative word here is "raw". I mean I doubt that Mozart could sing microtonally for instance. Whether Collier has any composition ability remains to be seen but I was talking about his ability to do purely aural tasks as opposed to intellectual or creative ones.

Shakespeare gives me the vibe that if he were alive today he'd be an autistic NEET posting mlp porn on Veeky Forums and weigh 400 pounds.
Thomas Gomez
Why of all the people in history would Shakespeare make you think of that?

George Steiner has actually said Shakespeare would have been a screenwriter for television had he been alive today. He said it in an interview which is available on YouTube.
And he was correct. Shakespeaŕe's genius was very bizarre, and his comedies read like mere exercises in low-humor. Oscar Wilde's humor was a lot more refined. When I see bardolatry-filled critics telling us the man was a genius because he could insert puns such as 'from whore to whore' ('from hour to hour'), I must admit I get somewhat offended. That he placed people fighting against lions during the same time Cervantes was writing/getting ready to write D. Quijote shows how not-very-perceptive he was about the vices plaguing the literature of the day. He also had very little knowledge of geography, and seldom gave any real character to the cities he chose for his works: his Verona is dead, his Ilyria is nothing, and even his Elsinor could be pretty much any other castle in Europe - compare it with Dante, who managed to give a full life to even the smallest of his figures, even in spaces so short as two or three verses only.

He was a very active man and you haven't read him.
Evan Ortiz
He's a product of his time. So, no.
Daniel Gomez
Not Marvel screenplays, more like HBO tv series or drama/artsy films.
Brody Gomez
That's why he has a legion of mutilated young forever boys to sing his compositions

Actual artists are still going tho. Look at someone like Lin Manuel Miranda. Hamilton is at the level of Shakespeare’s average plays already.
Matthew Hernandez
Everyone in this thread is wrong. He just wouldn't be around today.
Jaxson Brown
He was describing himself. He thinks he's the modern Shakespeare.
Carter Davis
>Hamilton is at the level of Shakespeare’s average plays already
no. no, it is not.

No, he would be a loser that go addicted to vidya and Veeky Forums and never made anything of himself.

lmfao-- that's not even comparable to the worst of The Bard's plays. You should actually kill yourself. A good hiphop artist or rapper has better lines than fucking Hamilton. That fucking dribble you greentexted doesn't even compare to any line from Taming of the Shrew.
Oh look, spotted another person who has never actually read Shakespeare.
Not considering the structure of his plays themselves, but just his poetic structure, Shakespeare has literally the greatest prose the world has ever known.
Asher Gonzalez
>Dude this dude said Shakespeare would do this thing today.
And lol are you seriously critiquing his fucking world-building
Ryan Ramirez
What kind of idiot would compare the detail in a massive allegorical epic verse to a fucking stage play meant for easily-bored and easily-enraged Londonites? How exactly is Shakespeare, in his "two hours' traffic of our stage" supposed to parallel Cervantes or Dante? Christ, Steiner, smarten up.
Zachary Cooper
why does this make me mad
