Straight up been feeling like that south park episode for years now.
I know it's not just me being depressed, because I get so much enjoyment from older movies, music, books... and there are of course non-dooky things that come out here and there. They're almost never popular.
I'm just listening to pretty well known 60s/70s/80s music and imagining how on earth I could've disliked it if I was around back then. I don't think I'm just being a contrarian and disliking what's popular.
How did we go from Woodstock to Lizzo? How did we go from original blockbuster movies coming out left and right in the 80s to blockbusters being purely capeshit, remakes/reboots, and capeshit wannabes?
More importantly, will this era of cultural stagnation ever end?
Is Western culture dead forever? Am I just a trans-boomer?

I liked The Americans.
I know it ended a few years back but it was really good.
Don't get depressed friendo: you shouldn't rely on corporations for your distractions... go out in the world and do something
Remember: human society existed for thousands of years without modern media. We will manage again.

The Americans was a great series, especially the first few seasons. It dropped off a bit at the end, but I'd say the Americans was a better drama than sopranos. I never really got into Sopranos that much, I thought it was kinda weak compared to other shows like it.
One that doesn't get enough recognition, and probably my favorite of the type is Boardwalk Empire.

Gosh I love Boardwalk Empire. So well written, everything wrapped up so neatly in the end. I sniffled a bit when he caught the coin π₯²
