I'm interested in your opinion on the term "iconoclasm" and how it applies to contemporary art and popular culture. Do you believe that there is a fundamental discrepancy between the word's original meaning (deliberate destruction as a means of sanctimonious preservation) and its current meaning, which implies a destruction that stems from a conflicting ideology?
Also, would you say that this qualifies as irony?
