Is this page supposed to be crap? It seems a little useless at the moment.

You didn't cover the existential angst that the page represents!

Dada is just defense against the dark arts, your argument is invalid.

It's a silly page I made which had some badly babelfished words posted in as a play on the few True Art tropes that existed at the time.

It's... grown since then. I am amazed.

This page looks a lot like some of the better Uncyclopedia articles. I like it =)

Wait, I lied. It's more like something The Happy Noodle Boy would write if he were on acid. I still like it =)

Looking at the exact opposite of True Art — something that's new, happy, homegrown, simple, inoffensive, and conformist — we get a remarkably bland kid's show. Does this mean True Art is just a rebellion against childish media?

Perhaps we should have a non-self-demonstrating version available, like we do for our other less comprehensible Self Demonstrating Articles for which normalization of the primary would minimize amusement?

I'm replacing this with an article that doesn't sound like it crawled out of 4chan's ass. If anyone really thought the old one was clever, post in on the Darth Wiki True Art Is Incomprehensible page. We don't need that crap here.

No. You do not get to unilaterally replace the page on a whim, without discussion. As you are the only one who actually dislikes the old page (note that Schizo Technician was recommending that the "normal" page be linked to from this page, not replacing the old page outright), I've reverted it.

Look, it's an Index. It's supposed to be a functional page. Filling it up with so much incomprehensible crap that you can't even find the index listing without going crosseyed is simply too much.

Some Guy is right — if you want to keep it, put it in DarthWiki.True Art Is Incomprehensible page. Not the main wiki.

How about keeping it, but separating the index from the insanity of the rest of the page? I've tried something like that; edit or revert as needed.

Some Guy is definitely not the only person who doesn't like this page. I hate it. The fact that anyone finds this funny gives me a headache. It's not a good parody, it's not at all clever and it only parodies one of the tropes (True Art Is Incomprensible, of course). It's more like a parody of web humor than pretentious art, except its not a parody, it is web humor. It's just a bunch of jokes people came up with in ten seconds. I'm with Some Guy and Madruga.

I'm fine with it. It explains the ridiculousness of those that use this trope.

I hate it too. I hate all self demonstrating articles that sound like someone tried to go on a cleverness binge. If these are to continue to exist, make them the alternate page and the non-self-demonstrating version the default.

This doesn't belong on the main Wiki. It's useless, unhelpful, annoying, and not even all that funny. You can claim that that's the whole point, but that just makes you sound retarded.

Let's just move this clusterfuck to Darth Wiki and pretend this never happened, 'kay?

I don't think it explains the ridiculousness of those who use the trope. It doesn't parody art snobs, it parodies avante-garde art (badly).

So here's a really stupid question: was this page meant to make any sense?

It's supposed to be a functional index. The attempts to be clever got out of hand.

A new True Art subtrope just got added, True Art Is Complex. Can a moderator add it as a subtrope to this page?

Is it just me, or is this page biased against the concept of aesthetics? It seems to imply that anyone trying to hammer down a conception of what art is and what it entails just wants to sneer at things they don't like. Really, Tv Tropes in general has something of a "populist" or "relativist" bias, but as I'm partial to the idea that there is in fact an objective measure of greatness in art I find this article somewhat distasteful.

I somewhat agree with this, but it's at least true that "This nebulous quality has never been hammered down by anyone." And it provides several ideas about what "True Art" is, which I think are pretty constructive. If anything maybe it's just missing more depth, but of course this is a topic you could write about endlessly.

I put the old, pre-lock version in its own page, SelfDemonstrating.True Art. Could a mod put a link to it on the main page?
