If it is only considered a product imitating music to all of those involved in the making of the song then is it music?
Everything is music now. I even got up to put on the hat.

Alright, but is such a mercenary enterprise be art if it is only imitating art on a completely superficial level? And if not, can non-art be music?

Music is two grackles fighting over a french fry in a McDonald's parking lot. Everything else is noise and treachery

Andy Warhol answered this question with paintings decades ago and called it pop art. Idk if there's a music equivalent to pop art though...

Well Andy Warhol was actually trying to make an artistic statement. Is Dr. Luke trying to make any statement when he produces a Britney Spears track?



If a song like this only exists to sell then is it art or simply a pale imitation? Is the only reason it qualifies as art that idiots like me worship it as art? Does the intention have any merit on its concept of art or is the interpretation the only thing that matters?

I got a call today from some chick that wanted to buy Ringo Starr tickets. She asked me who my favorite Beatle is. I replied none, their all posh. She wanted to speak to a supervisor. I can't even make this shit up. I might lose my job.
