People who make a big deal about what "art" or "true art" is
You know what, I have the best definition. It's called "whatever you want it to be".
Everything is art, nothing is art, and everything is simultaneously art and not art.
As for that deviantArt picture of a mouse pointer and MacOS buttons: if you look closely enough, you'll see a painting of a typewriter and some typewriter-font letters.

Just pretend he didn't mention the deviantArt picture, then.
"You know what, I have the best definition. It's called "whatever you want it to be"."
But whatever you want it to be isn't necessarily what someone else likes.
And if said person also declares that art is "whatever you want it to be", saying this to all people other than 'emself, then it will always be what each one of those people other than this first person wants it to be, and thus always whatever each one of those people other than this first person likes.
...technically.
Oh.
Well in any case, inkblot's post here:
>Wow. Considering TV Tropes' pages on "True Art", you'd think everyone would be agreeing with Chagen.
QFT.
Pro tip: It's not.
^^Well now, that makes the entry an example of itself.
Why do people on TvTropes consistently miss the point of articles like this in the examples?
Because it's an unnecessarily huge wall of text that could be entirely replaced by this one sentence from it:
^That's a terrible example because it doesn't show how such a scenario would be possible.
Tangentially related to this thread, from TvTropes's True Art Is Angsty page:
"In a true Truth in Television moment, this trope could be related to psychological research which indicates that the greater measurable intelligence a person has, the more likely they are to have a mental disorder which would lead them to perceive life as sadder, darker, and more depressing. Which could explain the above attitudes somewhat, even though logically one should recognize that true art can also be joyous (such as a Vivaldi string piece or a beautiful landscape)."
