I’ve heard this called “pomp”—implying “pompous,” which allowed elitist rock critics (the real pompous ones, with their sliver thin spectra of taste and treatises on Metal Machine Music) to dismiss anything economically marginalized folks enjoyed on weekends, when after double shifts in the machine shop or emergency room they weren’t in the mood to be condescended to by some art grant shill. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GreatAlbums1970s" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GreatAlbums1970s</a>, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Vinyl" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Vinyl</a>, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Album" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Album</a>, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Rock" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Rock</a>
