Remember decades ago when there was that garbage alcoholic drink Zima, and they would have small breasted semi attractive women in bars approach men and chat them up and talk to them about it?
Yeah this goes really far back. Jannies are gonna 404 this thread FAST.

Culture isn't all centrally controlled and produced like some giant conspiracy, but the regime does put its fingers on the scale of some of the creative process some of the time (think Transformers glorifying the military during the Iraq War), and it can produce and direct the development of counter-cultures, though this is probably both more opportunistic and rare than you might think

It doesn't need to be.
You just get your state aligned intrest groups, and have them run the publishers, the movie studios, the record labels, the religious bodies, the art galleries, etc, and presto!
Now Boomers think Jimi Hendrix is an organic counter culture rebel who is also flying privately all over the world.
How can you guys go to sleep at night with the obviously idiotic and yet so clearly firmly held belief that the Jews are behind quite literally everything you don’t like? Doesn’t it get anxiety-inducing and exhausting? I mean it’s such an insurmountable proposition and such a ridiculous notion I don’t see how it could even be sustained while staying sane.
Thats capitalism. Same thing happens, some new business pops up, its organized competition squeezes them out. The Boomers are more familiar with movie star nepotism, same thing, industry plants get all the media and contracts, buying all their songs from the same handful of writers.

im gonna be that asshole, but simpsons was saying this for years. not just the simpsons, but the “vat grown boy band” thing was joked about everywhere. it’s real too, just look at the Menendez guy. or Backstreet Boys. or Nsync. i could go on but you know what i mean. so, to think it only started with 90s boybands… yeah nah i believe OP.
WE WERE SOLD THE KEYS TO AN EMPIRE OF SHIT.

Both accurate. I was born from dirt and will die in dirt ive always known that. You know just because I explain something doesnt mean they are aspirations of mine. If anything it sucks to know your work will be pushed aside for nepotism.
