Or, there simply isn't anything to "get".
Art is often enough deliberately made in such a way that you can't know what was meant, without knowing beforehand what the artist meant. Framing that as some form of sophistication is simply delusional gatekeeping. It's the attempt to set the own class apart, nothing more.
These are memes. Symbols that only make sense, if you know the reference. Treating these as indicators for anything is just an attempt to create an in-group.
I don't think it's worth it to argue with a person of such worldview. Maybe someone with more patience than me will reply.
So you're out of arguments and resort to ad hominem?
Well, that's not very poetic of you.
