Is it just me, or is the pop culture of today completely dumb downed? Every time I turn on the TV, it seems that the programming is nothing but reality TV with crazy twists and turns that showcase some sort of nudity or unbecoming behavior. And, I'm not talking about the movie channels! Even the game shows are turning for the worst.
I don't want to seem self-righteous..i'm so far from it...but it just seems like the entertainment industry is just going to the dogs FAST! For example, I was listening to a commerical about a game show...and the host asked the question, "What do you think your friends call your genetalia behind your back..?" Or something like that. I was completely appauled.
I must be honest, I watch porn, too. But, when I watch it, I CHOOSE to watch it. I don't want to be shocked by it on my regular tv channels. All this nudity, absurb language, it's just too much. No wonder our schools are in a mess. Kids can't wait to get home.WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?

America could be slowly turning into Rome 2000. I'm fine with that. Our mainstream needs to get a bit more decadent.

uhhh not often. pop way of existence extremely is the subsequent degree of social evolution that persons tend to choose for the flow in the direction of. case in point, lots of the concepts and ideology that have been set for the time of the Sixties rock era set a sparkling philosophy for existence that then stemmed and flowed to our modern era, the place we see a good number of what replaced into pronounced then coming back again and again as reference factors for why we could like something the way it extremely is or to be a distinctive way, like government. i've got continually observed that the small niches tend to develop extremely than crumble, and grow to be an rather large social group that dominates many aspects of existence, including politics, archetypal figures, or perhaps philosophies.

I agree with you. There has always been stupidity in pop culture, but it goes in phases, and it's hitting new lows. I'm relieved to see here on YA how many people still stand up for decent morals, because the media portrays society like our morals have gone down the toilet!!

I agree with the Toad. Anyone remember why the Roman Empire fell? A lot of our society right now parallels that society just before its' famous fall.

pop culture was never un-dumb.
Amos n Andy, Vaudeville, burlesque (even before it became synonymous with strippers)... 19th century American theater was appallingly simple-minded.
mostly, any era's good stuff survives, but much of the bad is forgotten.
and some of the old dumb stuff gets nostalgia added to it, making it seem better than today's dumb stuff, when it isn't.
