Everything is too hard, or dead in spirit and passion these days. Take the movie Rocky, which is a movie about the triumph of the spirit, and the passion of the theme. A lot of the media, and music was very masculine in nature also, and very passionate, and a sense of heroism. If you think about most of the heros we see today even, there is always something dark about them, like Hell Boy, or Spawn. I mean, listen to this video from Rocky IV.

There was just so much more passion, and a sense of light that still shined through our culture. It seems like we are in perpetual dark times for quite some time now. Just listen to the theme of the Rocky song, and most of the 80's music like it, vs Rap, and the grungy, dark metal of the late 90's and now. So different. Hopeless sounding shyt; I think it goes with our culture.
