Media used to be inspired by unique experiences and struggles. Mark Twain’s works were themed around growing up in the south after the civil war and how that affected what being an American is.
Zoomers all have the same culture, struggles, and experiences so they have nothing to draw from for unique artistic expression. Unfortunately, that is going to result in a lot of derivative, post ironic garbage.
I’m glad I grew up in the 90s to 00s because that’s the last time media had soul.
