Seems reasonable. In me, this reaction doesn’t always correlate with universal praise, or the objects of the praise—see Portal, for example. Rather it correlates with signs of faddishness, and especially the people of faddishness. I don’t particularly dislike fads, but I dislike the sort of unreflective, little-picture sincerity you occasionally run into that this one is really the best.
