I think the wave of dark art reflects the way the current state of the people of the world are..

I personally am drawn to the opposite. I like to look at art and feel good. About the only times I actually am drawn to dark art is when it's created extremely well.

Thank You for mentioning me! and I think people are drawn to the dark because it is seductive, if we didn't have the tempation of the dark then it wouldn't be dark. And Do I do alot of dark/gothic images, I didn't realise, my writing is dark because my mind is, and happy things aren't that interesting, I like looking at something that scares me, or questions me, or goes deeper, Not all things that are called dark is actually dark, sometimes people think that things that explore the deeper emotions and such is dark because people think of happiness as ignorance. Killing, disaster, horror, is all real, you can't ignore it, I am a very happy person with a dark mind, so I have a very opiniated view on this topic, and yes some poeple use dark WAYYYY too much like gothic and emo have gone out of control! Black and blood and darkness is aweseme if it is truthful, when people try to copy that deep emotion something goes wrong and it turns into a gneric version of dark, dark is very popular and so there are ALOT of people who try to capture dark, not saying that I am not one of them, but end up just ruinging the whole thing, there is some very upbeat stuff! But it isn't seen as much, wow... I rambled a bit, Hopes I helped!
