fwiw, i.e. not much, I knew they didn't want to be called that name on ilx, but I was under the impression it was because of someone stalking them and had no idea that using it would be deadnaming them until now (regardless of why, I wouldn't use it anyway, but just saying not everyone knows everything about everyone else here)

I haven't kept up with the thread but, if my example of a post-Adorno pop-hating pop writer is a fiction, to the point of being inconceivable, I'm pretty sure that actually supports the point I was getting at: I was NOT saying that poptimist writers always love (or should always love) the most popular music purely because it is popular; that is not a critique of poptimism that I would take seriously at all. I do think, though, that this critical approach is almost by necessity still less detached or sociologically-minded than "popularity itself is worth studying" seems to imply to me - it seems to require at the least a pretty significant appreciation of the basic aesthetic values of mainstream pop music (which does have a pretty clear and distinct set of aesthetic values at any given time). That definitely doesn't mean the poptimist has to love any given individual pop song but it will probably mean, statistically, that the poptimist will love a large number, or eventually become less actually-poptimist, for the same reasons you give. As such, I'm not convinced that it is radically different from 'rockism', which was also rooted in an appreciation for the aesthetic values of a Golden Era of Pop (and provided plenty of attendant political rationalizations for this preference).
Btw, I do know scholars who prefer other musics as listeners or musicians but who study pop because "popularity itself is worth studying" (or pragmatic in career terms). No one considers them poptimists afaik.

can't speak for the motive of the poll starter anymore than I can speak for that behind Adam's performative male feminism but few if any of the quotes from that interview seem 'crazy', with the arguable exceptions of ones which are quoting someone else
