Art vs. Entertainment: Is there a clear line?

Looks like a retired Fedor Emelianenko!

Wait, what??? Anal Cunt isn't art? is Lady Gaga far from mainstream pop music??? i desagree a lot with those things.

btw, my definition of art is anything you can put out your mind as a way to express your feelings.

Art is entertainment.

And Lady Gaga is not a good artist.

 

[Badbird]

Anal Cunt is beautiful art

How can something be art, if there is no meaningful, artistic purpose for it to exist?

I'm sorry mate, but who are we to decide what should or shouldn't exist?
Artists make music to express themselves, and for other people to enjoy.The fact that certain bands' ideas and music are unappealing or offensive to you, doesn't mean they have no right to exist.

I'm exaggerating the following on purpose, but imagine for instance that a group of demented art experts suddenly decides that all of Rembrandt's paintings are offensive to their senses, and must be burned, or should be demoted from their status as great art due to the sudden revelation that he ripped off techniques of other painters while making his art. I mean, that's just nonsense, right?

A music album is like a painting, and you either like/understand what it expresses, or you don't.
