Banksy and Nirvana's Kurt Cobain went from controversial artists to cult favorites, which has made the critics ever more insufferable. In this video, writers Alex Sheremet, Ezekiel Yu, and Dan Schneider dissect some commonplace analyses of the "meta" meaning of Banksy's visual art and Kurt Cobain's music. Such critiques touch on everything from Marxist theory to the definition of "paradox", yet fail to address any specifics of the art itself.
