The more I immerse myself in pop culture from past generations the more convinced I become that Western society reached its peak before most of us were even born.

Yeah. I think it went down hill after gangsta rap took over in the 90s.

There was still some good shit in the 90s.

Ya, it switched around the time of Britney Spears. That's when they started pushing the line that it didn't matter if the singer could sing, because people went to see the 'show' (the dancing, the lights, etc).

Meanwhile, people can't comprehend people who could sing live without tape or autotune

It reached its spiritual peak like 1,000 years ago and its cultural peak like 250 years ago

Every cultural progressive of the last 250 years is / was both smugly confident that people opposed to the latest cultural innovations are / were stuffy prudes, but would also be horrified if you transported them 50 years into the future and showed them what the results of their encouraging that process would be

I've always considered the peak to be 1989, with things being generally ok until 1998.

Lots but the ghetto-ification of pop music absolutely ruined it.

It was just a gradual descent. Look closely at post-60's media and you will still see the propaganda.

Everything went downhill when people stopped wearing natural materials for clothing. It may sound schizo but I went down an autistic rabbit hole when I was a hypebeast in highschool. We really only need plastic for electronics, which led to demon sigils in circuit boards and chips leading to IOT leading to our enslavement.

Waaay before that.

Yep. Civilization itself was a terrible mistake.

Stone age humans were happier and healthier than we'll ever be.

That was the 1930s and 40s. Jews flooded the country, by the 50s change was in place, 1960s they waged the cultural communist war and won. That day in Dealy Plaza was the day the music died.
