Seperate traditions in these fields only ever existed to begin with because of an inability for different cultures to communicate. Ever since the internet became a thing and removed the gap caused by geography, this divide has had no reason to exist outside of humanity's obsession with vestigial "we've always done it this way so it must be the best" type garbageThis though came to me when I saw a youtube comment that said "it's unfair to compare American and French animation traditions". What fucking unique tradition does France have in animation? All of it is drawn directly from America and Japan, both of whom borrow from eachother constantly.It would be way smarter for us to simply look at culture as one giant whole. Every idea should be compared to every other idea, and anyone should be able to pick up any influence from anywhere
Little boxes on the hillside,Little boxes made of ticky tackyLittle boxes on the hillside,Little boxes all the same,There's a pink one and a green oneAnd a blue one and a yellow oneAnd they're all made out of ticky tackyAnd they all look just the same.And the people in the housesAll went to the universityWhere they were put in boxesAnd they came out all the sameAnd there's doctors and lawyersAnd business executivesAnd they're all made out of ticky tackyAnd they all look just the same.And they all play on the golf courseAnd drink their martinis dryAnd they all have pretty childrenAnd the children go to school,And the children go to summer campAnd then to the universityWhere they are put in boxesAnd they come out all the same.And the boys go into businessAnd marry and raise a familyIn boxes made of ticky tackyAnd they all look just the same,There's a pink one and a green oneAnd a blue one and a yellow oneAnd they're all made out of ticky tackyAnd they all look just the same.
>>8But all an artistic tradition does is homogenises the work that exists under it. I mean, the backlog of unabstracted reclining nudes in western art goes back literally to antiquity. Pretty much all artists until the 19th century painted traditional scenes/themes with traditional techniques, which on one hand refined what could be done to the point where something like the Sistine Chapel paintings can exist, but on the other is extremely boring.
I doubt the community you're from locally is equivalent to this imageboard. otherwise you wouldn't be hereYou cannot make everyone have the same ideology or way of thinking when their personal history shapes behaviours and ideas, and this latter end up affecting the bigger community.
>>8What is this even supposed to mean? Don't go to college or have children, because it makes you into the normalfag bogeyman who works for "the machine?"Fuck off.
it's just a pop song about the middle class being boring, you're reading too much into it. No idea why he posted that.
I want the opposite. I want the concept of styles being set by culture to die so we can instead start making interesting works using whatever influences we please. Games are a great example of what I'm talking about.
