I'm not sure about movies, but music has always gone through various phases. Metal, Rock, R&b, grunge, nu metal, emo, etc. Now days, we're just stuck in a horrible rut of bad music made by angry teens wearing eyeliner.

I've moved away from most 'mainstream' music long ago. There still are tons of quality bands out there, making great music..most are just unrecognized and you have to search for them. Most of the music I listen is put out by indie bands who do their own thing without being in the spotlight.

I think the world now days is more about fashion than anything. Sadly, fashion outsells content. If you have big boobs and an average voice, chances are you'll sell a few million. Same with the whole emo thing. If you can whine about personal issues while showing off your spiky hair..you'll appeal to kids who are in the same angst filled stage as you...and you'll get big.

I guess, it's all about what sells and what doesn't. If ****ty music/movies sell...for whatever reason, they will continue to be produced this way.
