Document Summary
Addison wrote a whole essay on taste therefore he thought that it was important enough that people would want to then buy his magazine. By writing about taste, addison implies that his own magazine has good taste therefore making people want to follow it/believe in it. In the same way gq writes which products men should buy if they would like to show they have good taste, they imply that they themselves have good taste because they are able to curate such a list. Everyone who likes dior is in a taste community with each other) Taste can be transferred into others allowing them to enter taste communities. The concept of taste can be used for marketing too. The emergence of punk went against and addressed popular culture music in the 70s. Taste can shape social identity and therefore social practice.
