Beauty is not objective. Beauty is
a label applied to that which is excellent. Someone may prefer one object over
another, but something is either beautiful or it is not. One cannot call
something beautiful simply because one “likes” it. There is art and music that I appreciate but
is not beautiful.
Someone cannot call themselves beautiful simply because they like the way they look. That is not beauty, that is preference. Being morbidly overweight is not beautiful, it is a deviation from what is good and healthy. Being novel is not beauty, it is a creative expression of simply trying to be different.
The music of Bach, Beethoven,
Brahms, and Vivaldi is beautiful, but the music of The Sex Pistols is not. Oftentimes
music is created simply as an emotional expression of one’s state of mind and
heart and if that heart has been traumatized, the result will be an expression
of trauma.
