Why are people these days so interested in weird art?

Well, what ive noticed these days, is that a lot of the people in my college of visual arts all seem to be interested in art that is not based upon talent but rather how weird and brave they get with it. Im not saying anything bad about that type of art, but honestly, its not my cup of tea. I tend to appreciate art that more or less shows skill and talent rather than how brave the artist is to create something shocking. For example, photography of a girl peeing in various vases and toilets standing up. Not all of them are shocking, but they are just weird. Sure, they appear as if the artist has taken time into their work, but I see very little artistic skill or talent. Other examples are of sculptures of intestinal parts (which…. arent made very well) and various electronic devices broken into pieces (all they did was basically break electronic devices and put it up on display…).

Explanation please? Especially from some one who enjoys this style of art?
