I have little use for romanticism, as I have little use for luxury beliefs. But I would not say that art today is rationalist so much as pragmatic - can I make a buck off of it, how fast and what is the anticipated ROI?
This is in large part because there is more geedus to be made than in years gone by.
For the enemy of love is not hate but indifference.

I think the art of today of which you speak is, or at least much of it, not art at all but propaganda confused with art. Hence, the emphasis on marketing of the artist, the message, the concept - not the work itself.
If a love of integrity is the heartbeat of the New Romanticism and that is what drives the art and that art helps the world; this is not only an enterprise of the leisure class. Every man in every caste can be a musician. Some of the best music IтАЩve heard was from dead-tired loggers sawing on fiddles.

As I said, there's a buck to be made.
Shakespeare wrote for money. It doesnтАЩt invalidate his work.
True, but the past wasn't so pure either. Wagner was a master of self-promotion. Everything he did was calculated and deliberate.

тАЬmore geedus to be made than in years gone byтАЭ Clearly you have no idea what the music business is like these days ЁЯдг
Good point, but my perspective was the last fifty or so years.
What we're seeing now is thr picking of a carcass.
