I was gonna say “why can’t it be both” but I’m not sure Yoko Ono has the sense of humor (or self awareness) to pull off trolling.
For me the question is whether she actually thinks she has talent, or she’s deliberately crappifying stuff to destroy the idea of Standards. “If i can’t be a genius then I’m going to make sure to destroy the very concept of genius. Then NO ONE can be a genius. Bwahaha!” I’m being sarcastic, obvs, but there’s truth in there. It’s fundamentally a Resentment driven strategy for interacting with the world.
I’m convinced that “Polish-American” (it says so, right on Wiki) architect Daniel Libeskind’s hideous constructs of grafting some angular Star Trek Borg glass and metal monstrosity onto a beautiful neoClassical building is, at the core, resentment driven.
Canadian-American (Canadian is his ethnicity, got it?) architect Frank Gehry falls into the same category.
Dammit, Mike, now I have to retract an earlier comment. Yes, humor ain't in it. And yes.
They're driven by resentment, hatred and nihilism. Good architecture call. Speaking of which, what a disgrace that our cities, in the most powerful country of the world, are so ugly.

Demon possessed. And trolling. Mark David Chapman did us no favor by not whacking that intact female dog of breeding age.
She never sounded better.

Most of Satans minions are also trolls. It goes with the turf.
Totally agree, Beans. Both and.
That's our Yoko for you, Jim.

It doesn't have to be that way. They hate us.
But LL, Yoko's a GREAT artist.
