Mid-2000s were also kinda nice. We got relatively capable pocket computing devices. Proper 3D games. Avatar: The Last Airbender. Music was not yet so... algorithmic.

Kinda downhill from there, though, ngl.

    Someone hasn't heard of late nineties, early two thousands boy bands if they think music wasn't formulaic...

    I didn't say it wasn't formulaic, I said it wasn't AS "formulaic". Back then popular music still had much more variety, nowadays whatever flows to the top is much more same-y, and you gotta dig deeper for the interesting stuff.

    I think it's easier to find the weird stuff these days. Back then you'd basically have to be a part of a particular scene, or have someone i produce it to you. Otherwise you had whatever top 50 radio stations were in your area. Speaking of formulaic...

    It's definitely easier to find weird stuff with all the streaming services. But I don't often look for stuff, and back then the good stuff found me. I'll occasionally even look at what's trending now to try and find something interesting, but I rarely see anything.

    Either way, it's not just my opinion, it can be verified empirically, there is way less variety in popular music these days. I even remember Vsauce had a video about that. And it applies to other mediums as well. All big budget movies are generic. All AAA games are either live service or Assassins's Creed but Vikings/Hackers/Jedi/etc. And by "all" I mean "most", of course. If you want the good stuff you either go indie or retro.

    What are you talking about? The golden age was obviously 2010 when the Last Airbender movie came out! You're way off

    I've got good news for you, it's in top 5 best animated TV shows of all time, pretty much on every website that has rankings, and sits at 9.3/10 rating on IMDB with 410k votes. A lot of people appreciate it very much.
