TV shows today really love killing people that live in clean, modern houses. Admit it. Every time the detectives go to solve a murder mystery, they enter a house with all the latest styles and technology. Either the modern look is now considered stylish, or it's cheaper for the shows to use such novel appliances. It must be the former.
So what exactly is modern? Things that are considered modern today are sleek, shiny, streamlined and filled with stylish goodness. In a word, modern things are perfect. They have a certain look to them - nothing extra, just the necessities, usually black and white with no distracting colors. Modern houses usually have boxy architecture and a lot of glass involved; even if the glass isn't for a window, there's always glass. Stainless steel is a must. These are the kinds of houses that echo.
Modern art is never straightforward. It always has some obscure meaning that no one ever understands unless it's explained, but of course art teachers think they understand it perfectly and feel the need to study it in class and have students brainstorm the potential meaning behind it, and if for some reason the students fail to comprehend the depth and meaning behind the art, then of course the teacher dictates his/her own beliefs to the class and eventually grades the students on their ability to remember said beliefs.
