-Compared to 20-30 years ago, today's terrestrial radio is borderline unlistenable.

-The original Star Wars Trilogy is the only one worth watching multiple times.

personally I'm still living in the late 90s early 00s with music. Even groups I like that are still a thing I'm no a big fan of the new stuff.

kids don't get near as much rote work as they need in school anymore

I didn't like doing math problems for 30 minutes every night but 3 problems/5 minutes isn't enough to get things practiced and memorized and it showed when I worked in high-school and it showed worse as I've been working in elementary

Probably music. I haven't listened to a new artist in years and years. The last one I started listening to was already 10 years old.

-Names. Hate dumb names from the past decade or so that try to be unique for the sake of being unique.
-Music somewhat. Most of my favorite music is from boomer artists. I don't actively go out looking for new stuff, but I am still open and will still like new music. It's just relatively rare I find something to my taste.

I just heard that The Killers album "Hot Fuss" turned 20 years old last week.

It was the last album of a "new" artist I purchased.

I HATE that streaming/digital movies have basically eliminated things like Director's commentary, Blooper Reels, and "Making Of" features that used to be included on DVDs.

The weird thing is a lot of boomers did a 180 on this, and are heavily on social media these days.

But as a general old person thing, I do miss the good ol' days when social media wasnt a thing. It's still weird AF when I see people taking selfies.

Nothing. That sounds miserable imo.

like I collect records so I guess that could potentially be the closest, but Im also not going to be out here saying that theyre inherently better especially since with pretty much any mainstream release that aint the case.

This, as well as my opinions on movies and music in general. Not all new is bad but there's a lot more good old than good new.

I should clarify that I guess it's not so much social media itself that I dislike, but rather the gen z attitude and the way they tend to behave themselves on the internet. It's attention for the sake of attention, no matter if it's good or bad, and a culture of constantly fucking roasting each other and everyone that I find so dreadfully exhausting.

After the 90s, cinema started to decline pretty sharply. A film that was made post 2010/2011 that's even worth watching is extremely rare.

Marvel movies are straight up ass.

Streaming services are ass and a net negative when you consider how they've destroyed the idea of actually owning the things you love.

Life was absolutely better before smart phones.

Music that doesn't contain actual humans playing actual instruments is fucking dumb and mostly terrible. Bring back guitars. Bring back real drums. Hell, bring rock n roll back into the public consciousness.

The original Star Wars trilogy (in their original late 70s and early 80s cuts) are still among the best films ever made and are also the only Star Wars films worth a damn.

Me. I've been nauseated by them ever since I was a kid and saw somebody eating directly out of one of the serving trays (putting the spoon in her mouth) and spitting the food back into the tray when she decided she didn't like it. I told an employee what happened and all he did was replace the spoon.

The thing about movies post-2000s is studios thinking flashy special effects are enough to cover the fact that they have stupid, unlikable characters and terrible dialog.

Or modern film's over-reliance on 4th wall-breaking "meta" humor

The trend definitely started in the late 80s-90s, but the 00s made it the standard

Especially post-Star Wars prequels

Breaking Bad really popularized the "here's a show about terrible people being terrible" trend

Of course, there's also "reality' TV which sucked ass, and popularized the "people acting like idiots for their 15 minutes of fame" trend
