Your Definition

The death of art is a term or a phrase [used] to describe an event or an action done by an individual artist or collective society (mostly by mindless [consumerism]) to strip away the identity or the basic principals of art for corporate monetary gain. It is important to note that this is the most basic explanation of the term and Its use may not always comply with the one written above. In conclusion, the use of the term is subjective.

To [understand] how the term "The Death of Art " can be subjective, we have to look at some examples that stray from the mainstream portrayal of art. For example, recently there was a rising wave of popularity of music, painting, and other multimedia that on the surface doesn't possess any meaning, emotion, or technical skill. For some, who prefer art to have complex storytelling, a wide range of well-executed ideas, and overall cohesiveness, they might consider mindless enjoyment of media that sole reason for existing is to exist, to be the death of art. Others might find over-sexualization in media to be harmful to the quality and respect of the art those artists produce. But maybe the most objective way "The Death of Art" can be used in is a situation where art itself is [disrespected] by acts of plagiarism, making a profit by manufacturing success and [manipulating] the public. Some newest Drake discography and [Justin Bieber] "Yummy" scandal can be named as recent examples.

tl;dr - the death of the art is in the eyes of the beholder.
