What happened to American culture? Where did it go? Who made the determination that all the American people would be exposed to from now on would be shit? Who agreed to have one microcosm on the Left Coast be our sole entertainment factory? If you look at cop shows from the last 20 or 30 years do any really stand out? The medical shows? The family sitcoms? Swear to God retrospective television has to be more popular than regular broadcast TV. A lot of the kids today will admit their music is crap. “Oldies” stations playing music from 40 & 50 years ago are going gangbusters. I don’t think its just the “get off of my lawn!” geezer crowd.

I can explain most cultural anomalies given enough time, but I can’t this one. It has me stumped. It doesn’t even make economic sense. They’re supposed to be out to make money. Whose buying this crap? I’m not. I’m not spending my money on their music. Their movies. Their books. I’m not watching their shows. It doesn’t make sense. “Pop culture” is supposed to be popular, its not. Who is their audience? What is the purpose? If you could get a look at the books, and follow the money, maybe then. Otherwise, you’re just making stuff you want them to see, not what they want to see.
