If post modernism hadn't eaten its own tail id have more sympathy.
Art is subjective, but for me being in a museum and going from Impressionism and post impressionism, and into a modern and post modern gallery is like a slap in the face.
In my experience, all I feel is it goes from beautiful paintings with high skill level used by artists to visually manipulate form and shape to create coherent but stylized images, to "check out this crushed oil drum, really makes you think huh?"
I think what you dislike is bad or low effort art, not post modernism. Just because piece of art denies the canon, or the classics, doesn't necessarily mean it must eschew beauty, or be made without technical skill.
Apologies to anyone who knows their art history - I'm speaking in broad strokes here.
Personally, my beef is not only the low skill/effort a lot of the post modernism sculptures have, but also that their whole point, of making fun of "high art", of museums and whatnot, was subverted. The subversion of art was subverted. Not even Banksy could fully escape the elitist assholes and even though that picture was shredded after the auction, it's still "valuable"
