Sometimes language presents more of an impediment to communication than an aid. This chasm can actually be beneficial though in the advent of more stream of consciousness stories and more popularly, new genres of comedy. When you dissect a story, often times the things we remember or that tend to entertain us are varied and inscrutable. Was it the punchline, the impression of someone or the general exposition of tragic to comic/vice versa? Surprise! Onomatopoeic sound effect. So imagine the fun that can be had with the phrase meat knuckle.
To be popular, the idea of mass production/for mass consumption, common ground, memes, cause and effect, crash and burn, fadeaway James Dean style or hang on Hunter Thompson style. The fear is not selling out, but the impetus that popularity means mass appeal. American Apparel would love to be the Gap, and pretending like they dont will put them there.
That's just the way it is. We take all the input and output what we think/feel/interpret and basically poop it back and forth. Originality is pretty subjective and apparently the best way to sell anything.

This could be induced by jumping into a pool that was 72 degrees and realizing that cold water drowning is not a good way to go.
