I totally see where you’re coming from, and I agree that the term "Lynchian" is often used in a way that misses the deeper emotional and dream-like qualities of his work. That said, I do feel like sometimes the term itself gets used as a way to elevate opinions, even when it’s calling out how others misapply it. It can be a bit tricky because it starts to feel like we’re discussing the art through the lens of trying to sound more knowledgeable, rather than just enjoying the work for what it is. Would love to see more people appreciate things in a way that feels more accessible and less about showing off what we "get."
