Sure, but crap is different from okay. If I'm stuck in a waiting room and it's playing that awful genre of whiny 90s guitar-based guy-rock (what is that called?), it's almost too painful to endure. Whereas if "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me" comes on, I'm basically glad - even though there's no jouissance in it. Distinctions must be made.
Yet there's something about BJ that drives people crazy. He's like somebody's dad who showed up at the party wearing a fanny pack.
