This is actually an interesting issue the Midjourney team has thought a lot about. As each version has gotten "better", ie more realistic, there's been some loss of the "artistic" side. There are a lot of users who still use the old V2 model (compared to the most recent V5) specifically because of how "bad" it was. The grimy and less coherent parts are what they're actually looking for, instead of a more precise or perfect looking result. This has led to there being flags for adding in more stylisation or "weirdness" or being able to choose between more realistic or more artistic versions of models.
