Artists frequently argue that videos trivialize a song and that touring for months at a time works against the creative process, not to mention maintaining a normal lifestyle. Doing something about these complaints, however, is rare because promotional videos and touring are considered essential elements in building multimillion-unit album sales.

My father and mother have given me so much love, so much support, that it would trivialize their parenthood if I would reduce it just to basketball. But my dad does call me before and after every game. And when we lost a game we shouldn't have, he told me it wasn't my fault. And I appreciated that, because he was trying to pick me up.

If you record the world honestly, there's no way people can stop being funny. A lot of fiction writing doesn't get that idea, as if to acknowledge it would trivialize the story or trivialize human nature, when in fact human nature is reduced and falsified if the comic aspects are not included.

American Writer

Jenny Offill

I have a slightly contrarian streak as a writer, and one of the things I was interested in was how distilled could I make a life, and how I could cross what is kind of trivialized as a domestic novel with a novel of ideas, a philosophical novel.

My great fear of being attacked or trivialized by my contemporaries made me concentrate on what I was trying to do as a writer. It forced me to draw some conclusions that were my own.

In art, as in science, reductionism does not trivialize our perception - of color, light, and perspective - but allows us to see each of these components in a new way.

Just to brand somebody as actor and trivialize is wrong. I am running around in the heat, doing my work constantly.

Indian Actress

Halsey

I wouldn't trivialize my existence into a hashtag.

American Musician

Used when someone intentionally presents an important matter as less critical to reduce tension or evade responsibility.

Understating Importance

Be cautious as trivializing can insult others if a serious topic concerning their culture or identity is downplayed.

Cultural Sensitivity

Note that trivializing issues may provoke emotional reactions in those who take the matter more seriously.

Emotional Response

Trivializing issues may signal an informal or casual approach, which can be inappropriate in serious discussions.

Casual Tone

Sometimes, trivializing is used to inject humor into a situation, but it can be perceived as offensive if misjudged.

Humorous Undertones

Incorrectly trivializing can make a speaker appear uninformed or lacking empathy.

Perception of Ignorance

 As a culture, we have trivialized what is actually the defining decade of adulthood. Leonard Bernstein said that to achieve great things, you need a plan and not quite enough time. Isn't that true?
