I think I'm into the Eddyist game up to a point: I can definitely see it's value as anti-rockism, since it breaks up 'natural' genre; and it works best when the reconfiguration makes a glorious absurd sense (and a not so absurd sense, since most of the genres are saturated in the same pop memes anyway). Which I just don't see in this case -- looks too much like Lemacqism. (i.e. criticism as identifying trends of the day; isn't Eddyism more about reconfiguring criticism away from public-voice-of-authority to geek-busting anarchy (i.e. away from keeping up with the times, to seeing pop as huge sprawling anachronistic chaos)?).
