Black shoes = buzzOriginally Posted by EL72
Foo--the cycle is not subjective. An item's position in the cycle is, as ohm suggests, a function of the cultural zeitgeist at a given moment in time. An individual might misperceive an item's position on the curve, but that is no different from any other misperception of reality. We can argue about the proper position of something, but that does not preclude there being a correct answer for a given item. Idiots don't get a veto in mathematics either.Originally Posted by grimslade
I'd move them to pre-buzz, because there's still too much hate for them, but they are on their way up. White shirts too will follow them.Originally Posted by A Y
Well, sure the judgments that put things into certain positions are necessarily subjective to some degree, but how do the placeholders in the cycle ('pre-buzz', 'saturation', 'backlash', etc.) relate to each other conceptually?Originally Posted by mafoofan
You're missing the point. By definition, overhyped and backlash items still have adherents. There's no split. It's just that some people realize that something has been passed by, and others cling to them.Originally Posted by grimslade
Or conversely, some people always look for the next thing and to be different, and pass too quickly.Originally Posted by gdl203
Right. But those individual decisions, or the variety of them, has no bearing on the objective position on the curve of a given item.Originally Posted by grimslade

What you all fail to understand is that there is Heisenberg Principle at work here. The more that SF focuses on an item/subject, the more that focus changes its position on the curve. All we can know is the probability spread of a given thing's place on the curve and -- sadly, ironically -- the more we investigate, the more our efforts skew its position, and increase the spread, thereby increasing uncertainty.Originally Posted by Manton

Thank you. Finally, someone who adequately acknowledges my interpretational conundrum.Originally Posted by mafoofan
