Meaning
This reads as admiration mixed with impatience toward lazy comparisons. It can be taken to mean that some cultural phenomena are singular, and that talk about the next version of them misses what made the original distinct. It lands in publishing, film, or music chatter, when people rush to crown a new phenomenon before it has earned its own shape.
