<p>Our relationship to slop is a bit more complicated than that, no?<p>Whether it's terrible music or not is somewhat irrelevant. Plagiarized music doesn't sound worse than the original.<p>What seems to matter more is the story behind the work. Basically, if the author is a grifter trying to make a quick buck, then it's slop. You can make an argument that Taylor Swift qualifies as slop, but most people will disagree. The public will be the final arbiter. All I really want is a big red lever to cast my vote.</p>
