I sometimes wonder about this and if it's the fact that we have over basically a century of what you could deem "popular culture" if you take it to mean visual media and modern pop music and it's like we're stuck in an endless cycle of nostalgia-bait aimed at whatever generation's childhood is getting pandered to this time.

Things I think of (from a UK perspective): the fact that it had to be pointed out that the World War generations are no longer with us and yet when people think of putting on a day event for e.g. care homes there seemed to be this default to Blitz tunes when you should be playing 60-70s music by now, the fact that EVERY Christmas of my life (and I'm not even 40 yet) I hear the same fucking songs on the radio and I'm sick of it, I was sick of it when some of those songs were only 20 years old, etc etc.

Don't get me wrong, I am as susceptible to a nostalgia trip as the next person but sometimes I wish we could have something different for a longer period of time. I try to read new things, listen to new things, go to see films that aren't part of a franchise/remake/whatever - but are enough other people doing that to justify taking risks or do the people making that shit just not care (even if plenty of us do consume the non-remake stuff) because of the fact the nostalgia bait makes them enough £££$$$?
