Yeah the thing with both music and art is that everything's a kind of meta-commentary about 3 times removed. For example, the historical fame of OTHER simple stripes on simple backgrounds might lead an art critic to proclaim: "It's a perfect complement to 'Green stripe on white cardboard, but the ragged edge evokes Boodledyboo's middle period, and it's HORIZONTAL.'" The horizontal bit will turn out to make it a revolutionary new direction in blah blah blah.
If you know about all those things, it might seem terribly clever. But if you don't-- it's just a goddamned striped of red on a black background.
In music, I do know about some of those things, so I can enjoy the piece posted here. But that's just cuz I'm geeky like that.
