I can't be alone in this by GuzzleMuzzle
Does anyone else fear for the future, or current state, of art?
Forgive me if this is just unnecessarily dismal. I may only have this feeling because I've lived in such a boring, uneventful home situation since last winter. Life felt "smaller" where I used to live, and smaller felt better.
On the other hand, I'm glad there are so many people working to preserve the things of old ("old" being the past 4 decades and further back). Games, cartoons, movies, music, and some other things. It's great that people are preserving what was in circulation before we deeply entered into this "Information Age".
Thoughts?

As long as people have fantasies, dreams, and imagination art will continue to exist. On the same note as long as people vary there will always be many different styles of art be they old, new or somewhere in between. Art is constantly evolving with every new generation of artists, musicians, writers, etc. but that doesn't mean that the older ways will truly ever die.

That's one thing I often think of when I think of the changes in art, but still, many of the older things are still in circulation today for the newer generations, and many people still love them.
One funny thing I've come to see in the recent years is, some of the much older stuff I grew up around (most of which I never got a chance to see) wasn't so unlike the newer things of today, like games that were, quote, "ahead of their time". It's amazing how many old games there were back when I was playing old Commodore 64, NES, Sega Genesis, and MS-DOS games that were, in most cases, beyond my gaming knowledge at the time. Some games were very complex, and I wouldn't have known how to play them for what I was used to playing. And they still make games like that now - the kinds that go a little further beyond button mashing and the simplest of strategic gameplay.
I've just been out of the whole art loop for a little too long now. I need to get back to writing more poetry and stories. That would benefit me on a psychological level in the long run.
