This thread has to go into the hall of fame...all it needs is a little sexing up, and it will have everything you could ever want.
The hall of fame that's located in Atlanta, Germany? I think it's only fitting.

I was afraid it was gonna be a picture of Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver.
I'm glad Screwup defined the "cycle of art" for us all.
He is also responsible for the "cycle of Screw", as it turns out:
1 - Screwtape makes an insane assertion, based on 20 years of living at home, walking the fine line between looking at a girl and the penetrating glare of a psycho and reading a lot of Wilde, Keats and Pretentious Artist Digest (which IS art).
2 - Many people older, smarter, more open minded and wiser than Screwtape patiently explain why his point of view could be a bit flawed. These are, typically, rational arguments and a possible entryway into a nice give and take.
3 - Screwtape then digs in, and patiently explains why everyone is wrong, attempting the quickly end the debate he engineered in the first place.
4 - Patience thins, and Screwtape is, rightfully, scolded for being not at all open minded or capable of mature, intelligent discourse.
5 - Screwtape deigns to explain to everyone else that not only are they wrong, but that they could never understand Screw's perfectly correct point of view nor will they ever understand anything beyond their base knowledge of the world. Again, Screw is 20.
6 - The posts to Screwtape exclusively become personal jibes, most of which ring true. Patience has evaporated and exasperation sets in. Also, the comedic flair of some members comes to the forefront, which places Screw at a great disadvantage, as it's hard to be a myopic, stubborn twit but still have time to cultivate a legit sense of humor.
7. Screwtape, sensing that things are getting out of hand and a tad immature, decides to be the bigger man, by exclaiming something akin to "I am picking up my toys and leaving the sand box. So there!". Screw leaves in a huff, but, he always comes back...eventually.
8. Thread carries on without Screw, as aftershocks are felt and newcomers to the thread get to discover the wonders within. These threads are the gifts that keep on giving.
9. Everyone repairs to San Remo, Atlanta, Germany, for refreshments.
Meanwhile, the never-ending song chain keeps chugging along like a furious runaway train.

Yeah the U2 song chain is worse cos of the limited resources available. To each their own I guess.
The problem is you cannot change the function of art. Art will always work in a specific way. Outside variables can't affect the way art is. That's why outside context doesn't enter into the equation.

You remembered the San Remo part. :sniff:
Hi, btw, remember me?
You're from Canada, yes?
I am indeed. Nice catch.
Okay, that's enough off-topic chatter. It's time to get back on subject.

Well that's fine. The OP went considerably further than that notion, though.
