What is the relationship between coolness and naffness in pop history.

A version of it wd describe pop history as essentially a story of a thread of coolness constantly besieged by naffness. This seems deeply unsatisfactory to me.

And that has huge amounts to do with context.

And, I'd say, (self-)confidence of presentation. Which may come back to the 'indifferent to cool=cool' thing...
