So if a famous (and talented) author writes a book which is the diary of a fifteen-year-old girl and decides to use the 'prose' of a contemporary average fifteen-year-old girl, will it be /lit/ or will it be garbage?
The point I am trying to push here is will the audience see into the essence and judge the book as /lit/ or will they not see beyond the presumably shitty prose and judge it as garbage.

It will be popular amongst teenage girls and the kind of people that still read HTML Giant.

Most people refuse to see modern lit as /lit/ because it's not got years of praise from critics and scholers.

So /lit/ is subjective.

4chan in general, the way I look at it is like this; mainly use this site as a sort of method of gaining "faux" information and knowledge. The problem here is that everyone here (and on other boards) become a singularity or a hivemind in more simpler terms. One thought, one mind, and if your's differs you're ''''''''''''''lol xD reddit shit newfag hurr durr'''''''''''''. Ironically, I have done what I hated most but you get where I am going at.

To answer your question, yes it is subjective.

I'm not prejudiced about it necessarily being garbage, but I don't think there is a writer so talented that he can really do that without it ending being ridiculous.
