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.

ok but marge is saying" what if *i* am an arbiter?" -- those who think she is go and set up another club where this can be explored!

Next logical step: do we need the 'club'? I think we do, and I think it has to be a club that others would want to join but cannot for some reason.
