Urban Art Association

Yah it is more than that to be honest. I work in fashion and they have helped turn an industry I loved that had small ecosystems that bred and allowed creativity to flourish, into a cesspool of mass-appeal crap that is targeted to sheeple, incapable of escaping theor own self defeating herd mentality. Essentially by taking up almost all of the oxygen in the social media world, they are able to game the algorithms and silence content that has a point of view.

Hence me saying “if anyone cares.” Yes, art is for everyone, however it should not be for vultures trying to “cop,” in order to simply make a profit by flipping, as much of Hypebeast’s audience does.

Nope, nothing wrong with capitalism. However i do believe that people who make things deserve to bare the fruit of their labor. I also believe that when people buy art it should be because they are collectors or because they love the work. I do indeed think making money by flipping is honor-less, not because it is anti capitalist, in fact it is not anti capitalist to be anti flipper. It is anti inflationary practice. Flipping is anti capitalist in that inflates market demand.

Why worry about how hypebeast will affect the art world; kaws already exists.
