Popular Culture

Everything that is produced now, whether it be television shows, movies, or music, is pretty fuckin crappy. It's been this way for at least 7 years, and I think it is a sure sign that the zombification of America has taken root.
Think about it- maybe 1 out of 50 movies, songs, or tv shows are decent, the rest is pretty much garbage. Why? Because the level of intelligence and thirst for knowledge is slim to none. The government and media have successfully created an atmosphere of apathy, between reality TV, corporate lies, and a general disinterest in improving the education system.
Am I a leftist- no. I think that left wing factions and even the democratic party are as useless as the right. Money is king here, as well as in the rest of the world, and absolutely nothing will ever change that. Money is necessary, but allowing it to dictate lawmaking is just completely wrong.

Sorry to get off on a tangent there- however, I think I reached an interesting point. Money dictates pop culture as well. Promotion and nepotism are the two headed beast that run the entertainment industry, and thus we are force fed crap. For every Mos Def, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Chumscrubber, we have 100 Lloyd Banks, Beauty and the Geeks, and Napolean Dynamites. I hate this shit.
