      That's not necessarily true. To my knowledge "hard rock" was used before "soft rock".

      What I mean is that these expressions don't necessarily arise because the antipole already exists and there is a need for differentiation. Sometimes it's just a game of associations, etc. Light Web or soft rock can emerge as reactions later.

      Coin term to describe a world thing -> perform language algebra on term (opposites, combinators, modifiers) -> discover new things in world to describe. Reminds me of @vgr 😁. @drossbucket "top"-"bottom" interplay.

      That’s a good way to make up jokes, but a dangerous way to discover stuff.

          Doesn’t the “language algebra” of say modernism, postmodernism, metamodernism leave you stuck within the structural dynamics of the original term? I think of e.g. “modernism” as already postmodernism and metamodernism. They’re implicitly in there already, in a way.

          I think so. That points me to thinking that the synthesis won't come from intensely staring at the polarities.

          Oh, maybe this is what's been happening to me: the sheer shock of the discovered space precludes interesting thought about the discovery.

          Btw, didn't mean to be disrespectful, just in the absence of awareness of your internals, that's my caricature simulating your leaps in thought.
