Trying to marginalize the importance and meaning of contemporary icons, by implying that their work or presence is superficial - or mundane. Value the long gone, the classics, the dead poets. Quote their biographers and make it seem like original thought. Talk about mundane and overused imagery. I suppose you prefer to dress up in a yellow vest for Halloween. Nobody will EVER get the Goethe reference, clever you! I bet you dance like an old man too. You’re right: soooooo easy to snob songs like this or the white glove.
