The perception of success in pop culture often relies on a combination of confidence and the ability to double down on trends that resonate, rather than solely on sound judgment or expertise in predicting future hits. Critics in the music industry sometimes fail to recognize the appeal of emerging artists and trends, as demonstrated by the dismissive remarks about Tones and I, despite her success in multiple countries. The observations suggest a disconnect between what industry veterans perceive and what actually captures public interest. This highlights the importance of amplifying successful signals rather than fixating on what appears to be a temporary trend. The example of Ronald Fisher illustrates the danger of misjudging correlation and causation in artistic expressions and trends, emphasizing that understanding pop culture requires recognizing and supporting what works rather than critiquing it prematurely.
