There are people in here who could talk about 20-25 years of study, so? Any problem or any solution with that?
SimenN, I really don't see any question marks in your posts in this thread. You are not trying to understand, you are not attempting it even, you are simply trying to mock someone else, your peer (assuming you are a composer). It's a pity really... Denying yourself the questions, you won't go much further. Because who is to say that what you mock today and find hillarious and ridiculous, won't be the future, or won't spring an idea that IS acceptable? Do you have any idea how many composers, bands, etc has Cage influenced with his art and his music? Even if you, personally, find 4'33" (like this is the only thing that Cage did) funny, or ridiculous, there are many people who have been influenced by his work and I could also name some big big names as well (Sonic Youth, for example, Radiohead, for another example).
So in the end, feel free to not question, not research, not worry about anything and feel comfortable, for all I care. Isn't this the point of an internet forum?
NO! it isn't! It's quite the opposite, but, as I said, never mind.
YIKES! Missed the 2nd page.
Sorry I wasted my time with SimenN! QCC already tried...
Sorry that QCC wasted his time!
