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?

Toooooo many to mentionFirst day of Performing Arts degree: a performance put on by two third year music students. This takes place in a small music practice room whose walls are draped in sheets. To the sound of muzak played by a hidden ghetto blaster, a washing machine is smashed to pieces with hammers.
That was just the first of many, many, truly unmentionable performances.
To this day I cannot listen to classical music nor watch dance of any sort, and a visit to the theatre is completely and utterly out of the question. Any art that isn't purely representational burns my retinas, and anyone whose creativity is supported in any way by taxpayers' money should be made to lick roads clean.
Cheers then x
