I think novelty in itself isn’t negative, it can be valuable for sparking new ideas and inspiration, for understanding where culture can be moving, for pushing some things forward inch by inch, for challenging currently accepted thought models and tastes.

A critic pushing novelty without being an “honest broker” is the problem, not novelty itself. A critic hoping to gain something whether egotistically or financially is the problem.
