    Philistinism is so rarely attractive.

    Them, or us?

    Art is a personal thing surely, so call someone a philistine for not liking a certain form of art s perhaps a bit presumptious?

    Agrees with Pete 100%. I think that the matchstick guy pulled of a con on the modern world with his Equivalent of The emporers new clothes routine about anyone who didnt like his stuff.

    I didn’t call anyone a Philistine, Nemesis. Certainly not yourself. Forgive me if you took away that idea. I did mean to convey the idea that there was Philistinism in the air, though.

    Philisitinism, I would say, is not about liking or disliking any particular piece of art or style or artist. It is about revelling in ignorance and masquerading that as virtue.
