I think the concept of counter-revolutionary culture is interesting in the context of film, music, and television. Many times that art is viewed as revolutionary it is quickly appropriated and cast into the mainstream, whether it be art, television, or movies. Therefore it seems that all forms of art are always trying to outrun the quick monetization and conversion towards popular culture or ultimately accept the fate of their of being thrust into the popular culture.

Technology has somewhat freed artists from certain constraints in terms of limits placed on them by structures such as record labels. Platforms such as SoundCloud and the relative ease through which individuals can edit music allows music artists to produce music with greater freedom than ever before.

I also find the concept of revolutionary art interesting because of who deems the art revolutionary at different points. Are critics who ultimately establish the consensus of revolutionary art part of the elite or are they considered organic intellectuals that can determine whether art is truly revolutionary. Therefore is art revolutionary only until the point it is deemed as such?
