Let me connect the dots for you Herb. You have said, if it doesn't sell, it is junk. I have pointed out that Vincent Van Gogh didn't sell during his lifetime. By your logic, his paintings were junk. But as luck would have it, taste changed (got better to my eye), and Vincent's paintings are now worth millions.
So I would generalize and say that depending on current public taste to 'sell' anything as a judge for it's artistic merit or overall worth is a slippery slope to be standing on. You might want to move to firmer footing. Regards, Bob S.
