“Good taste has never been a quality to which I have aspired. As a provocateur, I find it extremely difficult to provoke people by attacking them with good taste. Moreover, and not to be too Farrugian, you cannot simply invoke the notion of ‘good taste’ without qualifying it. There is good good taste and bad good taste, just as there is good bad taste and bad bad taste. Bad good taste could be described as something akin to ‘piss-elegant’, a pretentious attempt to be sophisticated and high-minded. In the end, people who loudly proclaim their own ‘good taste’ are often self-conscious snobs, more interested in conspicuous consumption and showing off than in any expression of refinement or style.”
