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?

I had an art teacherwho would frequently remark about how horizontal lines were all about "base" and "foundation", and that diagonal lines implied "energy" and "movement", all of which expressed with waving hands and the like. Top bloke tho', he bought me a pint when i saw him at the end of Sixth Form.
Also, all those arsey students who buy Che Guevara t-shirts or have all those indie bands with obscure and tiny followings on little badges on their bags, and German Army coats and things. Basically, I get a little wound up that the rest of my student brethren all look pretty much the same, but then i suppose you could probably accuse me of looking like them if you were to see me hehe
