All expression is art.
Whether it is "good" or "bad" art is dependent upon those who view it. Art should be reactionary, keeping in mind that there will be multiple reactions to an expression of the art. The artist should have an inner compass on what to accept or reject depending on the commentary they receive on a specific piece of art. The ultimate decision should be theirs.
