Referring to any human made stuff as slop is appalling. "This person made something that the majority of people like so it's crap" is such a weird take.
Slop would be by definition "garbage that's popular" a modern art installation doesn't tend to have mass market appeal.
Slop would be "Breaking Bad, Heroes, Star Wars" etc. Which then comes down to personal taste.
Referring to it as "slop" isn't a judgment on the content it's a judgement on the people who enjoy the content. That's my objection. I for one didn't like Breaking Bad but I'm not going to say the people who do are pigs or have trash opinions.
They just have different taste than me. This whole "it's slop" is an appeal to "I'm better than the people who enjoy it"
It's like when parents ask their kids "how can you watch and/or listen to this crap" it's them expressing a feeling of superiority.
One can dislike something without being a douche to the people that like it.
