Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

Leeds festival.It's about midnight, and the bands have finished. There's some kind of show in the comedy/cabaret stage, and my friend told me I should go see the band that were doing the backing music (I'd missed their main slot as the Pixies were on.)As I arrive, the somewhat pleasant music pipes down, and all there is to see is this dippy tart dressed in black swaying in a melancholy fashion on the stage, while annoying noises and nonsensical images loop on the speakers and screens. After about 10 minutes of this, I figure that she's not going to do anything of any interest, so I wander off and invent drinking games with my mates. Ace!
