Examples

  • This guy was talking about an article Ann Powers wrote about "poptimism", or the necessity for music critics to embrace the mainstream, e.g. cover "cheap reality TV like American Idol." (his words) The guy's disdain for AI seems to stem from a bitterness towards the increasing irrelevance of his day job and I have a feeling a lot of the more unfair, bitter-sounding reviews may come from this place.

  • Granular, chin-stroking critical discussion is the norm, thanks to poptimism, the mid-00s backlash against rockism – the prevailing prejudice that the only meaningful and serious music was created by men with guitars.
