HelpRe: "Tryndee" and name nerds
in reply to a message by darrengregory
Yes, we do specialize in perpetuating historical aesthetic standards here. I acknowledge that some trendy names occasionally do become a part of historical standard, noting, as you remarked, that they all had to be invented sometime.
I think we, as a group, are more often postmodernist (combining bits from all eras, one is era is not regarded with higher value over others), rather than modernists (trying to make everything new from scratch, abandoning tradition). That is appropriate, as we live in a postmodern era in art, music, architecture, and philosophy -- a reaction against the modernist era.
The modernist era, to many, created far too much homogeny (an interesting song describing this is "Little Boxes" by Malvina Reynolds), thus, new artists are seeking to bring out individual voices and styles by combining elements from all over history. We have access to it all!
I also consider "name nerds" to be another form of artist with a distinct medium, rather than simply a nerd who is merely obsessed with absorbing something without any creative input.
