Should you make vent art?
My Animation Channel: / theapoke
Let’s talk about vent art — art created to express intense emotions like anger, sadness, regret, or trauma. Some people see it as cathartic, others call it trauma dumping. But where do we draw the line?
In this video, I break down:
What vent art actually is
Why some people love it and others cringe
How pop breakup songs are basically mainstream vent art
My personal theory on what makes vent art feel “cringey” or not — hint: abstract vs literal expression plays a big role
Whether you’ve made vent art before or you’re just curious about the discourse, this one’s for you. I also talk about Kevin Temmer Tune's music videos like What's the Matter, Martha? (A Musical Existential Crisis), and Somebody Else Start Living My Life
🖌️ Let’s unpack the emotion behind the expression.
