maybe it's just the ppl i follow on social media, what type of media i watch etc. but nothing's really doing it for me anymore let it used to. feels like every years less and less interesting movies come out, in general nothing actually worth caring about is going on it the pop culture world. but hey maybe its just me
 
Yeah that happens to everyone at a certain age, though we really are living in a dark age of cinema. Good new movies are out there, but they get squelched by legions of soyboys screeching about the inevitable new superhero movie.

Try leaving your comfort zone and watching or listening to stuff you might have slightly considered at one point but passed up on. Or go to like the "post your favorite youtuber" thread here and check out some new channels.

Social media sucks and makes it so easy to just get into a loop where you're hearing the same shit from the same fags all the time. It's entirely possible that you're growing up and they aren't, and you've just gotta move on.
 
My advice for movies to start following foreign cinema instead. Pretty much only things I've seen in theaters for the last few years have been non-English and it's all been great. Just in January alone I saw Parasite, Weathering With You, and some Indian action film a friend and I went to for shits and giggles since we were late to 1917. It's all a hoot; Hollywood can keep it's cookie cutter CG spandex-man shit as long as the rest of the world can keep muscling in on the barren landscape of good films.

Unfortunately video games are ruined across the board outside of a handful of studios that are willing to take a hit on sales to make something that isn't another microtransaction riddled e-sports wannabe or a fucking third-person loot-based pseudo-stealth open-world narrative action hybrid. My advice is to burn effigies of gaming executives and pray for a mass die-off. Or invest in VR if you feel like selling your kidney and spending weeks arguing with tech support about their shitty drivers and exchange policies. I hear there's a lot of fantastically creative indies out there making genuinely innovative stuff, although I still haven't gotten the chance to see any of it myself.
 
I've always been more fascinated with older pop culture anyway. Not because I'm one of those "born in the wrong generation" idiots, but because I'm genuinely interested from a historical point of view and because I like interacting with things that existed before I did.

Shut the fuck up, literal child.
 
You can thank Disney for that shit.
Also dumb people who keep going to see the same bullshit over and over again.

Definitely a symbiotic relationship.

The worst part is when you grow up and all the friends you had that were into the same media you were just refuse to move outside their comfort zones and get all indignant if you pass on whatever the current popular thing in their interest is. Especially if said interest is Marvel or competitive game related.
 
I think the problem is information overload. We have computers in our pockets after all. Having access to so much information is FUCKING TERRIFYING. And for the creative mind, a poison. Knowing every idea you have has been done before, and possibly better, is depressing. That's why everyone and everything seems like they're made in a factory, they're afraid of mediocrity while playing safe. The irony of it all.

Just power down for a bit and get some sleep. We just concluded a decade's worth of pop culture. Give it time.

I've had that happen. It really hurts to figure out that a person was your friend only because of a mutual interest, and not because they genuinely enjoyed being around you.

I guess that's what happens when you make friends with autists.
