I completely disagree with most of this and it is absolutely to do with the rise in the amount of content available. There's tons of good stuff out there in every sector of the arts you care to name, it just takes more time to find it because there is so much stuff and so many places to consume it. Every week a great game, movie, album, novel or play debuts. You have to look for them.Not all old games, movies, songs are good. Not all new games, movies, songs are bad.
But there is a strong quality difference in general. Not just because of release quantity. After 2010s, world is gone shit. In the 90s and early 2000s, mostly good things were popular. In the 2010s and 2020s, mostly weird as fuck things are very popular.
Rap music for example, in the mid 90s and early 2000s, it was taking real talent to make a good song. Good sample melody, good voice, dope produced beat, meaningful lyrics and some hard flow logic and you had to be skilled and unique in any genre. Then in 2010s, and 2020s, there goes frogs sing and stutter on same shitty beats with no actual melody or rhythm and pink head idiots are jumping like a kangaroo. And they are mostly the most popular ones now.
There's never been a bad decade for music, cinema, TV, theatre, literature or video games. Every single one has tons of worthwhile art and gaming to enjoy.
