No, I'm not being an old man who thinks music was better in his day. Objectively, songs had greater appeal and staying power. Today, the majority of songs are meant to get a reaction for the moment and move on. It's the same across all fields of entertainment, really. Cartoons are cheap expedient animation meant to satisfy for the moment. Live action movies are mostly reboots and superhero continuations. The same is true of video games. It's all about that business model and getting the maximum output for minimum input. It's better to serve McDonald's than to serve choice stake. "I'm not being an old guy saying everything back in my day was better. But everything back in my day was better." Anyway the real answer is the internet and the massively larger amount of content available. There are thousands of times as many options for entertainment so it is very hard for everyone to be enjoying the same thing. --- Dot Dot Dot... <cite>MrNintendo1213 posted [p:956355159] in , why have...
