Tired of running with the weight of the world on my back //
Tired of living with my heart always under attack
Did everyone just…. forget how to create, all of a sudden? Disney pumping out the fourth remake in a row? Movies are like 70% sequels? Stories in games being just bad if they exist at all? Haven’t had a book get hyped in like half a decade? Are we okay? What’s going on?
So there’s an interesting theory that with endless pastiche(replication of dame with no added meaning) you can see a collapse in culture. This is obviously not permanent but it is seen throughout different time periods.
This time is different for a few combined reasons. One being how advanced we are texhnologically so everything needs to be new faster than before because of how fast things spread across social culture(think memes and how you’re done with em in 2 weeks)
This combines pretty badly with capitalism where giving people exactly the same thing(think remakes, spinoffs, etc) is so much cheaper and faster. Let’s say for example you have a cool new idea, it’s too risky to pay to produce it, test audiences, etc if it’s not a garunteed return on cost.
So yeah y’all aren’t crazy media is fast and cheap for your convenience at the cost of quality and this could keep getting worse yay
Tldr: op is right because capitalism is shit for creativity
Tetris teaches kids that their accomplishments always disappears but their errors will pile up
no, it teaches kids to quickly visualize shapes and patterns, you edgy freak
