Ah, fair enough. I was being disengenuous, as per usual.
Fashion Trends in a continuum; paradigmatic shifts are relative to the zeitgeist, ergo not commensurable with a dialogue admitting extremities, would be one response to your question. The second would be that the standardisation of a critique of production values is latent, appealed to but not yet admitted into the popular dialogue; this way the popular dialogue retains its fetish of simple structures while presenting the eternal 'new' of re-hashed ideas. Conversely, the popular dialogue has so consumed what was previously high art that we may now talk of the vulgar end of the fetish product, when shot through the lens of production qualia, in terms of its allusions to the avant-garde.
