pbrower, you cranky old Boomer, are clearly disappointed with the culture that came out of the Awakening/Unraveling. As an Xer who grew up on junk food and bad TV, I think there is much to be praised about modern culture. I think there is a lot of excellent TV, film and music being made these days. I greatly appreciate the mutli-faceted nature of the current cultural landscape. And the foodie trend has given us a lot more food options, it's not all procssed food in stores these days. In fact, I have been eating more healthily in the pandemic because I prepare all meals at home now.
I will concede that it is more difficult for those who are poor, who can't afford higher-end food or a lot of options for entertainment. But there is a contingent of middle-class people left in our society who are not miserable and enjoy a diverse and rewarding culture.
That's my counter-rant.
