Hi all,
What would you understand an "incestuous message" to be in this context?
The text is about amplifiers for loudspeakers.
"It became a de facto rule that great sounding products looked like a rubbish bin. Inferior cosmetic design, the result of poor skills, was extolled as a virtue and perceived as a guarantee of good sound. This was also transferred to the marketing of the product, often an advertisement with an incestuous message, decipherable only by the cognoscenti, with artwork from the hand of cousin Bubba and his Apple SE30 computer."
