Wow.. I can't say that I have ever witnessed this but that sucks hard. JUst because people are into "fringe" arts as you call them doesn't mean that the classics don't have merit. My mother used to aggravate me when I was reading Babysitters Club books or the equivalent by bringing in Little Women or Heidi or Shakespeare of some kind and saying "Classics are classics for a reason" It was irritating to my obstinate 8 year old self but true.
That said. I know very little about art. I took an Art History course at my "liberal arts" high school because it was required for graduation and I ended up loving that class. I wish honestly that I knew more. I enjoy understanding *why* I like something on top of my gut reaction. Any poor bastard that's attended the theatre with me can attest to that. I hereby volunteer myself as a sounding board... and hopefully I will learn enough along the way to talk with you about those things that you want feedback on.
Good luck, Babe. YOU are very good. Your art is very good. Pour one into the other and it's outstanding. ;)
