Rubber-Forehead Aliens as applied to aesthetics rather than physiology, or alternatively the cultural counterpart to No Biochemical Barriers, Alien Arts Are Appreciated when Speculative Fiction depicts arts and entertainment made by one species as finding an audience among aliens. As for how likely this would be to occur, ask yourself the following: What human being would appreciate the works of a species that communicate by emitting scents, with the closest equivalent to a novel being a device that emits smells in order to tell a story, or a "sculpture" consisting of a single scent? Or a painting made by a being blind in the spectrum visible to humans but sighted in frequencies humans cannot perceive? Of course, there are also the psychological differences: What would a species with no concept of fate make of the Iliad, for example? But hey, who knows? One species might become inexplicably fascinated with some minor part of another species' culture in the way that Germans Love David Hasselhoff. It should also be noted that all of the above only applies to Starfish Aliens; there's no reason to assume an alien species with enough in common with humanity couldn't appreciate our arts and vice versa. It wouldn't be as if it's without precedent. Several kinds of nonhuman animals, mainly mammals and birds, can appreciate human music (well, to an extent at least). Common in Space Opera. When done by an alien to humans this is Klingons Love Shakespeare, which may be a result of Intrigued by Humanity; when done by humans to aliens, it may be because the character/group in question is The Xenophile. When this is applied to TV, it's Aliens Steal Cable. When applied to human music or cuisine, this can overlap with Sense Freak. See also Humans Through Alien Eyes. Examples |

In The New Essential Guide to Alien Species it is explained that Zeltrons, who are offshoots of humanity, write some of the best erotica. To be fair, Zeltrons are also a Free-Love Future race with empathy abilities, so it makes sense for them to have a good understanding of the subject. | |

The Reticulan ambassadors that were stationed on Earth prior to the attack in UFO Aftermath apparently had an appreciation for human art, and traded for it with small samples of their advanced technology. | |

Bluestreak likes human movies, and brings a bunch along with him when he joins the Lost Light. Other crewmembers quickly develop their own enthusiasms: Ultra Magnus likes crooners, Swerve becomes addicted to sitcoms, Whirl (of all people) develops an enthusiasm for the French new wave and particularly Jean-Luc Godard, and Cyclonus kicks off more than one singalong to "The Power of Love". | |

There's mention of a provolved mollusk that wrote a poem lovingly describing a patch of sand on the ocean floor. According to other intelligent mollusks, this poem is beautiful. To everyone else, it's just weird. | |

Aslan epics and decorative weapons are lovingly described in Alien Races 2, although it is not said whether humans find them popular. However, some Aslan ship designs are rather liked by Solomani humans and there were tales of human warbands in the past who affected the customs and dress of the Aslan even when fighting them | |

Bulkhead, the resident big guy of the Autobots in Transformers: Animated, develops an interest in art and eventually gets a gallery show of his own. The humans are very impressed with his abstract work...even though his best one was basically an accident with a blowtorch. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
| Alien Arts Are Appreciated / int_7febc23b | comment |
Salvage likes to collect bits and pieces of rubbish, partly out of fascination, partly to make it into new things. His Establishing Character Moment has him be fascinated with Cody's harmonica, and then later make a Cybertronian sized one out of scrap. | |

Go Mad from the Revelation | |
| Alien Arts Are Appreciated / int_89b8822f | comment |
Considering the culinary arts, it's shown that most species (who have an identifiable digestive tract) have their own unique range of tastes, but mostly can ingest the same things as other species. In fact, there's certain foods that 'all' cultures seem to agree upon. Specifically, every single known race makes Swedish Meatballs. While home world ingredients and names vary wildly, the taste and texture between them all are virtually indistinguishable, the dishes are interchangeable, whether it's Narn Breen or Centauri Roopo balls. There is no explanation; G'Kar comments that if anyone were to determine the reason, they would surely go mad. Vir, a Centauri, admits to liking human fast-food, even though Centauri aren't biologically capable of digesting it. As he puts it, he greatly enjoys the taste when it's going down; less so when it's coming back up. |

The same shopkeeper also mentions that human sports games are really popular among the krogan. Mention is made elsewhere of krogan players on American Football teams, which does seem like a sport the krogan would enjoy. | |

FramingStory | |
| Alien Arts Are Appreciated / int_8e35ce90 | comment |
The Hork-Bajir like to tell stories as hours-long performances around campfires, stories that suggest they're more intelligent than they tend to come off as in normal day to day conversation. The Framing Story of The Hork-Bajir Chronicles is Tobias getting entranced as he's told the story. | |

On the other hand, he considers human music awful. All of it. Even though almost all commercials, which he loves, feature music - presumably it's easier for him to tolerate in that format compared to just listening with nothing to watch. | |

| Alien Arts Are Appreciated / int_aa42306e | comment |
Exactly which aspects of Earth culture he likes tend to vary by incarnation: Two played Beatles songs on the recorder; Three loved tinkering with vintage cars and studying martial arts; Four was fond of classical music and Renaissance paintings; Five is evidently a cricket buff; Seven loved smooth jazz and vaudeville; Eleven spends a lot of time in museums and sings praise to van Gogh; and the Totally Radical Twelve liked punk rock and fashion tech. He is always quick to point out his own contributions to Earth art, though. | |

Space People | |
| Alien Arts Are Appreciated / int_aec13030 | comment |
Lo'ona Aeo "castles" are incredibly beautiful and can be found on all the planets they used to live on (they've become Space People millennia ago). Each is unique. It's eventually revealed that they used to house an extended family. Humans enjoy looking at them and listening to their windchime-like sounds. | |

The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body | |
| Alien Arts Are Appreciated / int_b426973b | comment |
Yeerks, which are blind aquatic slugs in their natural forms, slip into the brains of hosts like humans to use their bodies and senses. Many are indifferent to all this alien stimulus and seem more to tolerate it to advance their goals, staring blankly at walls when not called on to act normal. Some are thrilled and strongly taken by it though, and this might be genetic. Cassie, morphing a Yeerk who's repented and befriended his slave, infests that same man and while influenced by the Yeerk mindset is dazzled and delighted by the sight of a checkerboard tablecloth. | |

Heavy Metal | |
| Alien Arts Are Appreciated / int_bab8a625 | comment |
Sharks were found to respond to Heavy Metal music played in water in one study, but this is because they sense vibrations in water to lead them to prey. This study was misconstrued by social media to imply that sharks actually enjoy music, which is extremely unlikely. Responding to vibrations caused by music does not actually imply liking music. | |

Ship-to-Ship Combat | |

In the episode "Civil Wart", Anne introduces the populace of Wartwood to the movie "Love Choice", a post-apocalyptic teen romance movie which ends on a cliffhanger as to which guy the main character Constance chooses. The rugged cyborg in flannel Hunter, or the sensitive hooded deer-man Alastair. The townspeople were so invested into the story and characters that the entire town of Wartwood was split in half in a shipping war. | |

Adventurer Archaeologist | |

In Lair of the Shadow Broker, you get to wander around Liara's apartment, where she keeps a lot of Prothean relics. Justified because she used to be an archaeologist with a fascination with the Protheans. | |

Genius Sweet Tooth | |

He also likes their jelly babies and edible ball bearings (nonpareils or hundreds and thousands), but that could just be the Genius Sweet Tooth talking. In the case of the latter, he's amazed that humanity are the only race in the entire galaxy to come up with such a thing! | |

That Makes Me Feel Angry | |
| Alien Arts Are Appreciated / int_bfc2ec8a | comment |
The asari are said to be the foremost exporters of culture among the species of the known galaxy. It also works the other way round; at one point, we hear that the elcor plan to stage a production of Hamlet. Since elcor speak in a droning monotone and preface all their lines with a statement of emotional content, since other species can't read their body language or inflections, this is one of the funniest moments in the game. And yes, the sequel includes an advert showing clips. One of the ads for the play states the (human) director had hoped this would cause the audience to judge the character Hamlet on his actions instead of the emotion behind it. Said director pops up in the Citadel DLC in the third game, eagerly promoting his next project: a production of Macbeth with a krogan in the titular role. |

Played with in the case of the Vorta, who apparently have no appreciation for any aesthetics at all, leading to Weyoun asking Kira if one of Ziyal's paintings would look better if it were blue. Ziyal's paintings themselves are a somewhat extreme case, as apparently mixing Cardassian and Bajoran painting techniques somehow ends up producing works that are appreciated by both cultures. Possibly justified by her style being extremely abstract. | |

Humans Are Special | |
| Alien Arts Are Appreciated / int_e0207930 | comment |
Several alien species are enamoured with human literature and poetry (including old science fiction pulp novels), because the human languages present a high degree of ambiguity of meaning and pronunciation which is not present in the artificial languages used by galactic society. Just as many species revile human culture for the exact same reasons, of course. | |

Knock Out likes his human vehicle form, and takes part in human drag racing. Later episodes show him having an interest in human horror films (he goes to drive-in theaters). Played With in that he appreciates human culture but strongly dislkes actual humans. | |

Human Aliens | |
| Alien Arts Are Appreciated / int_f4aeb714 | comment |
In the first novel of spin-off Trevelyan's Mission series, Ivar Trevelyan travels to a Human Alien planet stuck in Medieval Stasis. He pretends to be a Wandering Minstrel and frequently translates songs and ballads from Earth into the local language, passing them off as his own, impressing the natives, whose own songs are not as well-developed. This is especially evident in tragic love songs, where Ivar utterly dominates (the locals are good at happy or romantic love songs, but tragic ones are not really a thing). | |

Dog Food Diet | |
| Alien Arts Are Appreciated / int_fbec97c9 | comment |
If you consider culinary arts, many animals enjoy human cooking, often more so than their own proper food. There are plenty of dogs that like pizza crusts, cats that like cooked fish and chicken, horses that like sugar cubes, etc. Absurdly, there are also actual restaurants with menus for dogs. This doesn't seem to be reciprocated by humans very often, though. Most humans find pet food unappetizing, and will only eat it if desperate, if at all. | |
