mainstream media has always been shit. it's shit by definition: you don't move units by being discriminate. the blander something is, the more people it will appeal to. that's just the way it is. if you'd just take off your nostalgia goggles for a minute you'd realise that (for example) james whale, cecil demille, george lucas, and chris nolan are all as shit as each other and all fulfil the exact same role in their respective epochs.
good art will always exist, though. the contemporary stuff is just tougher to discern because it hasn't been subjected to the 'test of time' yet.
