    I don't always look for artistic experiences that will leave me feeling good about what I've just experienced, if that makes sense.

It does. I like works like that (And hate it when people don't value something because it doesn't make you feel good), but I suppose like you said, I just clump it all together under "beautiful", knowing the distinction between the words beautiful and pretty. I suppose maybe beautiful isn't the best word for it either since it leads to that kind of misunderstanding.

I thought you'd probably understand. It's something I do in my day to day life as well, but I do wish there were some kind of non-intrusive way of conveying that distinction without coming off badly.
