the long shadow of “seriously not literally” falls over every aspect of american culture
it’s interesting to consider how Sontag identifies camp as “a sensibility that converts the serious into the frivolous”; I think tasteslop converts the frivolous into the serious. What makes it serious is both its embarrassing, leaden quality and also that it reveals a deeper issue at play here: contemporary anxiety over where cultural capital comes from, and what it might do to the existing hierarchies, aka Taste Anxiety.
