"it's the blatant dismissal of the things they like because they feel they shouldn't be enjoying them"

If that's the context you've seen it in, then that's the context you've seen it in, but in my experience the people calling themselves Whatever-trash are some of the most vocal and proud fans of the thing they're calling trash.

For one of my fandoms where the phrase has caught on intensely, for the people using it (especially in terms of the ships they like) there's absolutely no dismissal involved. These are unequivocal fans of the thing they're calling trash. Some of them are BNFs for the fandom and the pairing and defend both passionately.

I wouldn't even say they use it in a self-depreciating context, at least not in terms of the medium/fandom/ship. They're vocal and proud of their likes. Rather, it seems like they're calling themselves trash humorously/ironically for being so affected by the thing they like (the same way people call the characters they love losers, assholes, bastards, etc. because they have such an impact on you), but I never get the sense that they're ashamed of liking it.
