Don't Be An Older Queen Or Seasoned Pop Watcher

“Older queens and seasoned pop watchers alike have a bad habit of condescending to younger people who ‘haven’t done the reading,’ their snobbishness premised on the assumption that if you can’t recognize a possible oblique reference to a Janet Jackson Rolling Stone cover from 1993, your opinion isn’t valid, nor is there much hope for improvement. It’s an attitude that’s supremely annoying, not to mention short-sighted and self-defeating — if you actually care about preserving historical awareness, you shouldn’t be shutting down those eager to carry it forward.”
