I think fractals are good for some things. but other things, well, maybe there are better ways to represent them mathematically.

the fractal you have in the op is derivative and done to death. there are soooo many other cool fractals. they just aren't as popular and well known like the popstar fractal you posted

if the tried and true mainstream fractal doesnt stir any strong opinion im not confident your underground hipster fractals will either tbh

as a math major let me say definitively that the only thing fractals are good for is trying to trick people into thinking math is cool

fractals are cool as poo poo because despite having super simple formulas like z^2 + c you get the mandelbrot set with ridiculous complexity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set#Image_gallery_of_a_zoom_sequence
