Is it fair to say that most pop culture is rubbish? Probably. By this I mean that most people dislike most of it at any given time whether that be music, movies or television. Of the copious amounts of material that gets served up for consumption very little of it has a meaningful impact. This has always been true despite the feeling that it was better at some point in the past.

Still, if you want to find something of interest it will be there for the finding. You just have to look for it and like anything else worth doing cultivate that interest. It takes a bit of effort but it’s rewarding. I suspect that’s an effort too far for most who wish only to be passively entertained.
