> Artist was placed along side beatniks and hippies as a worthless penniless counterculture.
Except they are not wrong.

Throwing paint on walls and other shit is not making anything, it's throwing paint on shit. The whole concept of the artist as a job died the minute photography was invented. Now it's an antiquated hobby that was long made defunct by technology almost two centuries ago. There is no career path when the job consists of taping bananas to a wall until eventually there is a millionaire idiot to scam out of their money by wowing them with talk of moods and feelings. It's a long term grift.
