@PraxisOfEvil Music has been total shit for a long time. There was the volume war, then it was the same 3 people writing all the top-40 songs, then it was everything run through Pro Tools, Beat Detective, and Auto Tune, and the latest horror is people mumbling through their songs.
Television has been shit because it's the same 20 Los Angeles writers making the same scripts with the same beats and the same quips, and now they have to have inclusion which is a $20 word for saying "brown it up".
Movies have been shit because of much of the same with Television, but with the added bonus of every action movie being filmed live on location in some guy's computer, and with studios meddling to make sure that their $350,000,000 investment gets the maximum return.
Dropping out of mainstream entertainment is the perfectly normal reaction to it all being terrible, ugly, and derivative.
