"So what? Where's the value?" What's the value in art? Sure, from the above it sounds like you think it's silly to call this art, you certainly don't like it.

"So what? Where's the value?" What's the value in art? Sure, from the above it sounds like you think it's silly to call this art, you certainly don't like it. But it's a small piece written by someone for a single purpose, to illicit an emotional response. Whether you consider it good or not it certainly doesn't mean it's not art. And in the end I'm sure plenty of people identified with it and responded in the way the author intended. No, it doesn't provide any major insight but it probably provided some value to some people. And just because it didn't for you doesn't justify knocking it down as worthless, at least that's how I've come to view any art I don't necessarily enjoy. So what? I enjoyed reading it, that's what.
