Within Chavez's movement itself, there was concern and criticism of his methods. It the early 1970s, for instance, Chavez-supporter George Higgins wrote a private memo arguing that Chavez "appealed very crassly" to feelings of guilt among many "Protestant social actionists" and threatened them "with the enmity of the poor" if they failed to meet with Chavez's demands.

Power pop originated in the late 1960s as young music fans began to rebel against the emerging pretensions of rock music. During this period, a schism developed between "serious" artists who rejected pop and "crassly commercial" pop acts who embraced their teenybopper audience. Greg Shaw credited the Who as the starting point for power pop, whereas Carl Caferelli (writing in Borack's book) said that "the story really begins circa 1964, with the commercial ascension of the Beatles in America." Caferelli also recognized the Beatles as the embodiment of the "pop band" ideal.

Pitchforks Alphonse Pierre said some of Pop's risks on the album pay off, referencing "Something Special", which Pierre described as "the type of macho love song that hasn't been done this well since 50 Cent's '21 Questions". The New Yorkers Carrie Battan wrote that Pop Smoke could sing unusually well, "for someone whose rapping voice was a low growl". Battan said although the song seems "at times crassly commercial, the record can seem like a betrayal of Pop Smoke's signature sound. But, more likely, it is the sincere project of a young man exploring all his possibilities".

In crassly economic terms it would be as inefficient to overcompensate artists and authors for the right of reproduction as it would be self- defeating to undercompensate them. Once an authorized copy of a work is sold to a member of the public, it is generally for the purchaser, not the author, to determine what happens to it.para. 31 Significantly, as well, he acknowledges the need for a public domain: :Excessive control by holders of copyrights and other forms of intellectual property may unduly limit the ability of the public domain to incorporate and embellish creative innovation in the long-term interests of society as a whole, or create practical obstacles to proper utilization.

"She talked crassly with her trusted leadership circle about leaving behind the rank-and-file militants and going with a handful of cadres (the ones with money and the ones she considered intellectuals) to start anew in Washington, D. C. She envisioned setting up a leftist think tank, near the country's policy makers." Many in the party at this point became increasingly irate at Dixon's behavior, citing her alcoholism and paranoia making her increasingly erratic and too unstable to speak to. She encouraged her lieutenants to launch a "Quality of Life" campaign within the party so that party members could assess their own lives.

Two examples of ideological interpretations that are related to formalism: The classical Hollywood cinema has a very distinct style, sometimes called the institutional mode of representation: continuity editing, massive coverage, three-point lighting, "mood" music, dissolves, all designed to make the experience as pleasant as possible. The socio-economic ideological explanation for this is, quite crassly, that Hollywood wants to make as much money and appeal to as many ticket-buyers as possible. Film noir, which was given its name by Nino Frank, is marked by lower production values, darker images, under lighting, location shooting, and general nihilism: this is because, we are told, during the war and post-war years filmmakers (as well as filmgoers) were generally more pessimistic. Also, the German Expressionists (including Fritz Lang, who was not technically an expressionist as popularly believed) emigrated to America and brought their stylized lighting effects (and disillusionment due to the war) to American soil.

In an attempt to capitalise on the song's popularity in the Northern soul subculture and 'put Northern Soul on the music map for the industry', Russ Winstanley met up with a pop group from Wigan called Sparkle, who renamed themselves Wigan's Ovation and covered the song (with slightly modified lyrics) in 1975. On 20 March 1975, the band performed the song on Top of the Pops, and went on to perform on the show 13 times. They appeared in baggy trousers decorated with Northern soul badges, and the performance was widely derided as 'uncool' and 'an imitation'. This recording was extremely controversial and was widely panned by those in the Northern Soul scene, who described it as a 'terrible cover version of The Invitations' classic', 'trash', 'bad for Northern Soul', '[an] embarrassing novelty single', 'crassly commercial', 'selling out', 'horrible', 'even worse than Footsee', 'dire', 'awful', 'annoying', 'our Vietnam flashback moment', and 'a fucking travesty'.
