That sounds romantic

No one called diss tracks inappropriate, simple-minded, or vulgar ....

No. We did not. I didn’t say diss tracks were any of those things- I said that historically works seen as such have become romanticized as high art. They said that in simple terms a diss track is two people writing (insulting) poetry about each other in different rooms. If we look at the historical precident, that even vulgar or simple minded/innapropriate works can later become marks of high class entertainment- then it isn’t a stretch that two men writing (insulting) poetry in separate rooms could be romanticized by future generations. They are two distinct pieces of information that feed the same idea- that popular entertainment of an age is often not viewed as high art, but with time becomes dated and removed from its environment is viewed objectively or even through rose tinted glasses.
