Wow. Bold take. I don't agree. I think you are conflating choice with quality.
There is more music now. There are more games. There are more TV shows. The reason people cant name a single Kanye song, which I find to be a dubious claim at best, is because their options are not limited to the top 10 artists that the radio plays anymore. They can listen to whatever they want on spotify.
If I'm still listening to The Who and Kanye in 20 years its because I like The Who and Kanye. Not because no new music of quality has been released. Young people love their shitty new music just how I loved my shitty new music that my parents didnt understand.
Pokemon and the yearly EA titles (COD or any sports games) are the closet 1:1's that exist in gaming to the weather channel and cnn. They are just good enough that people will keep paying for them and nothing more.
I watched The Forgotten and The Terminal about 20 times a piece growing up. Why? Because its the two dvds that we owned that were not absolute ass. There are certainly worse movies out there but there are a lot of better ones too. Especially after watching Tom Hanks eat a mustard and cracker sandwich gets old.
Less choices doesnt equal higher quality. More choices doesnt equal higher quality. But it does mean I have more to pick from and of all the choices I have now I'm positive I can find something better than what I grew up with.
