“Tilting at Windmills”

Isn't it always interesting that there is an elitist component to much of preceding language development, including metaphors, similes and more. just as this Quixote quote exemplifies, yet there is a current, and possibly, I believe continuing inverse elitism prevalent now; kudos are attracted in music, movies, dance, entertainment et al by the more obvious, blatantly deplorable, gross and intentionally offensive as a terminology can be, which future readers may need help in unraveling just as is happening here now?
