Someone may occasionally put out a decent single or a few songs that are not too bad, but for the most part the world has reached the end of great culture. Nobody has produced any art, music, literature, etc. in the past thirty years that equaled or surpassed anything that came before it. I’ve seen the bands that play on tv, and obviously there’s nothing for anyone over forty. Most big-name acts are chiefly spectacles and the music is highly forgettable. Some tattooed freak prances around the stage while some members of the band urge the audience to clap along. And they do. They should be throwing fruit at the band rather than applauding.
