I've always wondered, what specifically makes something come across as pretentious? Genuinely curious. I've heard this levied at people/things before, and even had it lobbed my way once. Can you help me understand how you use this term?

I think the problem with SOME artists is that being a good lyricist is not the same as being a good poet. E.g. I liked Smashing Pumpkins and a lot of the lyrics were good. But if you take away the music and just read them they can be cringe. Case in point: Corgan’s book of poetry.

@Tyr its a word that’s often misused as an attack on people who appreciate or make what might be deemed as high art, or who take themselves and their endeavours a little too seriously, although there is a higher that normal proportion of pretencious people in these groups...
