That’s another possibility.
I hate what the “dark empire” has done to my enjoyment of music and movies. It’s hard to watch or listen now without wondering in the back of my mind “What awful thing did you do, or what awful thing did they do to you so you could have this success?” It taints my enjoyment now and I resent that.
Bagster has the right idea. Enjoy the music of newcomers, like Allie Sherlock, who are making it on their own the hard way in the city streets. I hope that young girl can find success and manage to avoid all the traps the industry sets for those who want to make a good living in the business.

It’s really been hard for me too. I recoil from movies and music I used to really enjoy. I look at the celebrities and wonder what they’ve done. Some seem ‘too nice’ but so did Tom Hanks (who hasn’t posted on his private twitter account since may 2020).
I try to enjoy music I used to love but if I find myself humming to it, or dancing to it while doing housework, part of me remembers and I can’t. Last time I sneered to myself, “Yes. Yes. Just dance along to Satan’s personal music collection...”
I used to love movies. I started only watching older ones because ...you know. But I believe many if not all of the older ones were made under the same terms too. :(
I was treated as strange when I stopped watching television years ago. I found them to be anesthetic (passivity) and driving though processes and memories even when the television wasn’t on. Now when I check in to see what peeps are watching, Lucifer has his own television show. A few years ago it was all about killing zombies (are they still limping around?). Oh and there’s an advertisement for a family show - the family in question is shown with the children seated on a couch drinking blood out of sippy cups and tumblers, and mom stands behind the couch drinking it too. *shudder*
I do like Bagster’s Allie Sherlock links.
I used to like Keith Urban’s song Blue Ain’t Your Color (not the video - which seemed dystopian). I went looking for what I HOPE are others performing that song and others I won’t think/know is already, you know...evil. It has opened up new music. Old dog/new tricks. :D
