This is why 'the most undiscerning' are the ultimate fascination of poptimists, even though a poptimist is by definition too self-conscious to be 'the most undiscerning'. This is also why no-one can be 'the most undiscerning': it is an impossible, unliveable position. Poptimism = the attempt to imagine the disappearance of the need to distinguish good / bad, except that 'need' is the wrong word -- habit would be better, except that need underlines the sense that this is not a habit that we can or could get rid of.
