Is is possible for someone to become so patrician they loop back around and become pleb?

There was a short period were i got so burned out on hipster fagotry music i went back to listen to the stuff i liked when i was a teenager like my chemical romance and jimmy eat world for nostalgia reasons.

I also put on a wet suit and explored the albums of Britney spears and other 90's top 40 acts for lulz.

Did you know britney spears has a song about using email called email my heart that sounds hilariously dated?

poptamism is literally the worse thing that happened to music, it was the embrace of mediocrity, hipsters went so far up their own ass's they started pretending that liking popular music was non conformist

that's not relevant. being anti-poptimist doesn't mean hating all pop music.

it correlates because these opinions aren't based on the music. it's based on the reputation of the artist, their fans, etc.

My father was a DJ with a record collection in the thousands back in the 80s

Now he doesn't DJ. he's sold the records and he plays top 40 shit around the house all day

He seems happy

didn't go back to full pleb but I find myself retreating back to the basics (/mu/core and "the classics") because I just enjoy it the most. Trying to be "patrician" is exhausting.

If they "loop" around and listen to top 40s again the odds are that they probably never liked whatever the fuck you consider to be patrician.

Which is good for them since they're at least not being pretentious about their choice of music anymore.

or alternatively, realize literature is the superior art form and make reading your main hobby, thus making it easier to enjoy both because you aren't overloading one or the other.

I think the real question is, can someone be so much of a pleb they are patrician?
I mean... think about it.

baby one more time (album) sucks, and so does most of her old stuff. you really gotta be a teenage girl (and i even doubt this, because it's dated as fuck) to dig the corny and embarrassing lyrics it has.

baby one more time (song) is genius tho and you drive me crazy gets a pass because it's basically a rip off of that one

Literature is not in competition with music or any other art form. The autistic 4chan custom of "ranking" art forms like it was a pissing contest is one of the most childish things I've come across on this site, which is saying a lot.
