The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.
Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.
Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.
Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.
Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.

Meh.
Kitsch and avant garde have all essentially destroyed the idea that art is something you should spend decades perfecting and mastering.
Kitsch is shallow, trivial commercial art. It ignores the breadth and depth of human experience, from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs.
Avant garde is "anything goes." It's honestly undeserving of the title "art" in the classical sense. People are arrogant about their uniqueness. They're too fragile to admit that they're uninteresting and not particularly unique.
I see avant garde art as a way to pretend that good taste doesn't exist, as a way to validate people's own mediocrity and pass it off as greatness. It's a tale as old as time, it's the story of the emperor's new clothes.
America is devoid of real art, art that is truly expressive, art that fills you with wonder, art that speaks to the depths of your soul. America's architecture reflects this: its McMansions are a mockery of good taste, misusing classical architectural elements into a bungled, chaotic mess.
It's no wonder to me that people commit suicide so often in the US. There's little here that hints at beauty as a transcendental virtue, other than our natural scenery. Though, we tend to ascribe a "wild west" sensibility to American landscapes, which also detracts from it and creates a kind of cheap, kitschy air out of something that is otherwise beautiful.

It's funny how the meanings of words like this change over time - I've always associated kitsch with tacky but cute stuff, like trash that knows and loves the fact that it's trash, if that makes sense.
Maryam Ghareeb
Could you give me more examples of kitsch? Does it extend to music? I am searching for definitions but I don’t get it. How come that what is cute or over garnished is considered trash?!
Maryam Ghareeb
I mean it sound more like what a perfectionist would produce... excuse my poor language

Something self-aware enough to know it's trash is camp rather than kitsch. These are very similar yet distinct things. Camp is art whereas kitsch is generally understood to not be art.

@Maryam Ghareeb There is a video from just a few months ago called "What is Kitsch?" by the YouTube channel Thorsten Botz-Bornstein which is a very clear examination of this question.

kitsch really is not a german word for trash tho. i'm german by the way. most common words for trash would be Müll and Abfall.

I've been following your videos from long time ago and I still don't get how this channel has such few followers. Keep growing and inspiring. Your content is amazing.
Thanks and greetings,

Thank you so much for your continued support, Hanna! :)

I just "LOVE" the blatant slap in the face to Norman Rockwell. Why do art-heads consistently balk at even the hint of him? He was a terrific illustrator/painter and gave us some truly iconic americana during the war and post war era. I find this sad. Please educate me, I'm not being sarcastic, I truly want to know.

Uggggh. Maybe you can't know, like are incapable.?
