First off, do not engage SSC. (S)he is too caught up in the post-modern self-delusion of, "it's all about how I feel about it". Not worth it.
Second, I offer my opinion to your observation here
To put it in a nutshell: The kind of education that is dominant post-enlightenment is the idea that nothing in the world has any inherent meaning — it's all just a force of nature — and any greater meaning you see in it is just how you feel about it. Once you understand this, you start to see what's fueling a lot of today's crazy people.
Because, if you live your life this way, you stop asking how you can find purpose within the world and instead going about manipulating the world (including people) around you to suit your personal feelings about it. Thus — Michelangelo's work on the Sistine chapel is not really of any higher standard, artistic worth, or aesthetic than any old graffiti on a train car, because I personally think the latter is really cool.
