Gateway Artist Theory

The Gateway Artist Theory is the theory that the association or listening to of the less deleterious musical artist may lead to the listening of musical artists with a greater magnitude of lack of substance or quality. It is often attributed to the listening to of Kid Cudi,

Gateway Artist: An artist that encourages the common person to participate in drug usage and who leads to other artists that write lyrics about going harder and using harder drugs.

Example of the Gateway Artist Theory:
- Person 1: Ayeee! Let's get faded and zone to some cudi.
- Person 2: fuck Dat. Taylor gang errday. I only smoke papers now and i gotta save my good weed so wiz can get at that good fan weed.

Quick-dump artist

Akin to a quick-draw artist with a six-shooter; ie; Gunslinger. The quick -dump artist is similar only with the art of the toilet bowl versus a gun.

"Hey Dude I thought you had to make a doo-doo before we leave." I already did; I'm a quick-dump artist.

Artist Eye Syndrom

The fact that an Artist's perception of art, including their perception of their own art, evolves overtime; thusly making their not so recent artwork look bad, even though when they were making it, they believed it looked good.

Artist Eye Syndrom effectively renders any piece of art an Artist makes a temporary source of enjoyment for themselves but a semi-permanent source of enjoyment for others.

Art Enjoyer: Oh wow! What an amazing piece of art. You made it two years ago, right?
Artist: Yeah, but I don't really like it anymore... I think it looks kinda bad now.
art Enjoyer: Oh... must be your Artist Eye Syndrom kicking in...

Artist Stare

A term used to describe when a person, most likely with a history in fine arts, stares at a person for an uncomfortably long amount of time, and may even appear angry. In reality they are squinting at a person's features trying to figure out their proportions, without realizing that they are doing so.

Person A: "Mr. G kept staring at me yesterday, I think I'm in trouble."
Person B: "He does that to everyone, he has 'Artist Stare syndrome."

Something with less value than a human life.

I would never risk my life for a cultural/artistic achievement.
