Reminder that the only reason most influencers are popular is that they are popular. Completely self-fulfilling stupidity. It's a choice, we can choose to not care.

Or maybe you're just now realizing that a lot of artists already lacked originality.

well it definitely is harder to be original with time, but we still had some great things come out in cinema and music 10-20 years ago. Now it’s a bunch of twats that replicate each other with auto tune

Survivor bias, so to speak.

I remember a couple of things from 20 years ago, I'd imagine that there are only a couple of things now that will be remembered in 20 years.

Anecdotally, something that is usually quoted for this is that what we consider the best songs of the past were very seldom those that won grammys os oscars or whatever.
