    In my early 30s. I think your age is the cutoff for when the circuses were good and original.

    For younger Gen Zs and Alphas, it’s nothing but remakes of what we got when we were kids. Pokemon, Harry Potter, and Minecraft are what my nieces and nephews are still into because companies barely invest in new IPs anymore. Even the snack isle look the same as it did 15 years ago, with food companies not investing in new products since the corporations consolidated and there’s no competition anymore.

    It’s not that I don’t like the new thing now that I’m older, it truly feels like there’s less new things since late stage captured markets deemed it inefficient.

      Yea it is wierd how the past 15 years pop culture has been culturally seem stagnant. The lack of new pop music on the radio and all of the remixes, or the same songs just sung by other artists seems to be more common than actual new content.
