Movies aren't as good as they used to be, and music isn't as good as it used to be, and TV ain't as good as it used to be, actually pop culture in general ain't as good as it used to be. There's still good stuff out there, but ratio-wise there's just so much crap available that you end up having to waste time sifting through all the dreck before you can find anything good. Anyway, that's been annoying me for awhile now.

i don't doubt that someday in the future, someone going to look back at the 2010's and remember them as an idyllic time.

People back in the 1950s thought the same way. People back in the 1960s thought the same way. People have been thinking this way since prehistoric times!

Nostalgia is, quite frankly, BS. There's always been crap in pop culture, in movies, in television, in music...ratio-wise, it's always been 90% crap according to Sturgeon's Law. Frankly, having the freedom to release crap is a good thing. Those same liberties are taken by people who release good things, and by people who consume the good things. May I also point out that everyone has a different definition of crap? Yes, I'm not the target audience for Justin Bieber, MTV or Transformers. But some people are.

Crap is good. It means people are free to like or dislike whatever they please, and merely only have to go somewhere else or change the channel to find something they do like. This nostalgia pandering is simply censorship in disguise. "I can't stand this crap, so I won't let you enjoy it, either."
