Why Your Art Fu*king Sucks!

“I’ve never hated something more in my life.”

That’s what they’ll tell you. Sometimes not in those exact words. Sometimes it’s silence that feels louder than any insult. Sometimes it’s a smirk, a dismissive scroll, or the kind of look that says your work isn’t worth the paint, pixels, or breath it took to make. And if you’re not ready for it, those moments can cut deeper than anything you’ve ever poured yourself into.

Here’s the truth they don’t want you to know. None of that matters. Not one bit.

This is your world. Your canvas. Your sound. Your vision. You own it. No one else sees reality through the lens you do. That means your art will never fit into everyone’s taste, and that’s exactly what makes it important.

When someone says your art sucks, they’re not actually telling you about your work. They’re telling you about themselves. Their taste. Their insecurities. Their limits. Sometimes they’re just too scared to create anything real, so tearing down what you’ve made makes them feel taller.

The loudest critics are often the ones with empty portfolios. They’ve never stayed up all night chasing an idea. They’ve never put something in the world knowing it might be misunderstood. They’ve never had the courage to risk being seen. You have. That’s why you’re dangerous to them.

The people who change the world aren’t the ones who bend to every opinion. They’re the ones who stay stubborn, who keep showing up even when the room is empty, when the likes aren’t rolling in, when no one’s clapping. They take the “I’ve never hated something more in my life” energy and feed it into their next creation until it becomes something impossible to ignore.

Your art doesn’t have to be liked by everyone. It doesn’t even need to be understood today. Sometimes the world needs years to catch up to the truth you’ve been showing them.

So let them say it. Let them post it. Let them whisper it to each other when they think you’re not listening. And then keep creating anyway. Because the moment you stop caring what they think is the exact moment your art stops fucking sucking.

If your art pisses people off, you’re probably closer to greatness than you think.
