Don't worry I'm not that in need of approval! It's just that my new favorite thing is this: New York Magazine's Approval Matrix. Basically, they rate a handful of recent pop-culture events (everything from scientific discoveries to celebrity happenings) on two measures: lowbrow/highbrow, and despicable/brilliant. For instance, country music or the surge of NASCAR would be in the bottom left quadrant, whereas a fantastic stage play may go in the top right. If you follow the link above right now, you'll see something different than normal because they are doing their year-end summary. Normally, there would be more like 10-20 happenings on the grayscale landscape.
*Even more fun* is playing the game for yourself!
