I think this all true. A weird jump to the opposite end of the spectrum. I think a good rule in discussing any form of pop, even more so than when writing about it more formally, is to acknowledge the limits of your own knowledge, and not be afraid of that.

It was all worth it for 'Attention rappers et al', though.
