I started revisiting Radiohead the other week, one of the most unfairly maligned "rockist" bands of their era. They still hold up, and I am pretty sure they will be rediscovered with enthusiasm once this moment inevitably passes, even if it takes another 20 years.

They practically topped every best album ever chart for about fifteen years. Saying Radiohead are maligned is no different to saying Taylor Swift is an underdog.
Purely anecdotal but my guess would be there's a lot of Radiohead fans at those Taylor Swift concerts. I certainly don't think the idea of someone being a fan of both is that unusual.
A friend and I were trying to convince the other to open up to each other's music tastes recently. I got him to listen to some Taylor Swift (specifically, folkmore) and he had me listen to some Radiohead.
He said he didn't care for Taylor, other than one or two songs, and I said "I get it, and I'm glad you tried her anyway." We both agreed her new album sucks.
I said I enjoyed In Rainbows and OK Computer, but didn't really like Kid A, and he essentially said that was kind of a basic bitch opinion.

I should have qualified: unfairly maligned *by poptimists*.
