LOL! Who told you that "everyone" was talking about high fashion, art, culture, politics, and etc. Masses are, and have always been the scum of the Earth. The only thing is, history books have ALWAYS excluded the coming and goings of the masses. It's only a very recent phenomenon when historians are gathering information about the masses.
I don't even know where to begin about all the fallacies in your analysis of hisotry....
I'll leave you with this:
"Who will ever relate the whole history of narcotica?--It is almost the history of "culture," of our so-called higher culture." Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science.
Perhaps coming from your "the entire human race except for me is total shit" viewpoint. But you really just have to take a glance into any history book to see that other cultures have had far more sophistication and far more meaningful "popular" culture than we do today.
What's even the point in stating that today's pop culture is terrible if you can't provide any ideals or visualizations of any better one? It's easy to say "this is stupid." Give me a reason why or example that pop culture has always been terrible, other than "humans are stupid hurr."
You know, if dreaming of a better era will help you sleep at night. Why not? Sure, whatever you say.
Also, never get in an argument over stuff that you think is "meaningful," "sophistication," "thoughtful," and "culture." Empty words, made valid only by the egotistic who think their narrative has even dime's worth of value.
