I'm attempting to describe a phenomenon I see, which pertains to art media and it's place in culture and the world, relating to the manner in which it reflects humanity and the populace for which it's a part and that it's of. The phenomenon is a missalignment in who it's trying to reflect and appeal to and what it actually is supposed to appeal to, were it to appeal to anyone at all. My mind went to the words "aethstetically confused", but the object in question isn't aethstetics, so what might I be trying to articulate?

Sorry if that's confusing or sounds like sophistry, feels like mind puke and I feel gay for even typing that but I know I'm on to something.
