   I’m pursuing higher education (hands-on, not academia) simply out of boredom. Something clicked in my brain and I realized “I’m not having fun” with every single form of media.

   Music is repetitive and formulaic jungle beats, movies are thinly veiled propaganda, art is either machine learning output or modern trash lacking soul, and games are just rehashed classics that I’ve already played before. Oh and all of these have niggers inserted into them for no reason other than blatant demoralization.

   The creeping anhedonia I feel is something I hope isn’t just happening to me, but I don’t think that’s the case. All my family, friends and coworkers keep eating up the latest marvel shit, buying new graphics cards so they can play the same game but in higher quality, and renewing their subscriptions to netflix, spotify, amazon etc. Even the “based” people I know irl are stuck in the hate-watch spiral.

     @veff On the plus side you’re not the only one who feels that way; if you adjust for inflation, Hollywood is currently having its worst summer since 1974 iirc, and the streaming charts are dominated by songs that come out 30-40 years ago.
     
     I think even normies now vaguely realize that Zog is deep into a cultural malaise

     @veff @DW2 Stopped listening to modern music more than enough old stuff to find and enjoy. Same with film, books, and video games.

     @Jean_Philippe_Micheaux @veff Same, all the metal/movies I like came out roughly between 1980-2000
