What's the difference between "trash" and "tropes" in your mind?

For example the good old Harlequin books were pretty much trash: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlequin_Enterprises

But when the expectation is trash, they deliver. They're the Hallmark Movies of books. It's not Citizen Kane, but sometimes you just want a predictable plot of a big city girl coming back to her home town and falling in love with the rugged local man.



That's what I'm saying; even the 'trashiest' of human literature is an awful lot more sophisticated than AI madlibs.
