When will the 80s manchild nostalgia culture finally die out in film & pop culture?

The only reason they have to keep stealing from the 80s is because zoomers can't create new original shit.

Gen Z is no less free from this cuckery than millennials, the only difference is their pop culture addiction is "ironic". Which is exactly like what Gen X did. Gen X did not rebel but at least they gave enough of a shit to push counterculture to the mainstream and give us stuff like the Matrix. Gen Z will be remembered for doing absolutely nothing except commenting on Instagram ads with the Israel flag and making charlie kirk memes. They will whine about how their futures are being stolen while working a dogshit warehouse job and doing nothing to change that. They will not start an online business, they will not develop skills, they will not push alternative media. It's the generation of pissing and moaning while doing nothing to better yourself. Gen Z, the most absolutely cucked generation since the boomers.

It's crazy how nothing gets created anymore
Like there was a moment when nobody had seen Ghostbusters before or nobody had seen Ninja Turtles before or nobody had seen Indiana Jones before
Then somebody made that stuff and it stayed around forever

I'm describing a very simple concept. Why does it no longer happen? New things don't take off anymore; new things used to take off all the time. If they didn't, we wouldn't have old things to circle jerk over.

It has been almost 20 years since then

Even watching old news recordings, there is a distinct differences between the 70s 80s and even the 90s but not so much after the 2000's

I really believe the "nostalgia" for the 70/80 won't end until there is a clear break separate the current culture and the 00/10's

I get it. I'm a Gen X and I remember when the Taking Woodstock trailer first played turning to my friendand saying, "I can't wait until all these Boomers are fucking dead." Growing up listening to them talk about how important their generation was and how great all their cultural achievements were was nauseating. It still is because the Boomers are all still somehow in charge.
But I really don't believe all this pop culture regurgitating is meant for me. I couldn't give two shits about all these remakes and all the faux 80s aesthetics like Stranger Things. It's all fucking terrible, and it's mostly aimed at "modern audiences". It's all made for all the braindead normies who have Facebook accounts, and people who get their news and editorials from Twitter. They're not catering to Gen X, they're just out of ideas and too chickenshit to take risks.

That's a good point. This effect isn't limited to the presidency. It sweeps every industry too. We've been suffering under boomer rule in every facet of society. They just won't let go of power.

What a boring take. Both the show and the toy line had to be well recieved by their target audience for it to be a big hit. There were a lot of attempts that didn't get traction because one or both of those things were not entertaining to kids. There were a lot of shows that kids liked but the merch had almost no presence, and vice versa. Gen X kids were definitely being entertained, I don't know what crack you're smoking.

Most mainstream ideologies have matured to a point where the domain of available discussion has become small and niche. Take liberalism with its focus on trans rights for example. It's simply impossible to make worthwhile art on a topic so irrelevant. If you try to make art on the topics that have already been discussed then it's boring and trite, like the countless Oscar bait films.

This is also why 4chan was one such a meme factory. It was genuinely outside the accepted ideological framework. But things here have since calcified. Notice how it's still just wojaks and pepes? Because there has been no major ideological change here since 2016.

Studios need a return on their investment, and the cost to make quality has skyrocketed since the 80's.
To ensure their investment, they have several tools they use to try to mitigate risk: large data sets and test screenings.

Ultimately, they want a product they can market to as many people as possible. In turn, this means the product in question must be bland and easily consumable by as many people as possible. They look at Marvel with envy, the most bland product imaginable, yet finds success year after year, as their target audience is every single tasteless retard in existence.

But going back to my previous point, why take the time and effort to promote or create something new, find the correct target audience, tailor it, test it, retailor it until the numbers add up, when you can skip most of the process by simply taking an existing IP with an existing target audience and proven record of success, rewrite it so it appeals to more retards, and then peddle it to your consumer cattle of choice?

It's statistically safer, which means you earn more money. Only when the last original IP has been sold and recreated, and diminishing returns gone past the point of where even the mediocre effort it took, is worth it, will we see new stories.

Studios exist to make money.

Because its lesser risk to make sequels and reboots of old stuff. Nostalgia guaranteed sales. Historically, if something new was made, it had to stand on its own legs. If it was good enough to make money and get attention it got sequel that in good case wasn't just cynical cash grab to make more money and actually expanded the world and concept of original world with better budget and production values.

This where we can get into how entertainment and movie industry changed over the years. This where death of home video sales and streaming happened. This when entertainment industry stopped pouring money into original content with any risk involved and that killed mid budget movies. Films that might flop in cinemas, but at least make some money on video rentals and sales. They used to be make dozen reasonable budget films for every big budget blockbuster event film. Some of those sucked and went straight to video. Some of those floped on both theaters and on video. Some of those were mediocre on cinemas, but hits on video. Some of those turned out into block busters with huge profit margins on instant and paid for itself and all those flops.

Those mid budget films were how mostly young actors became stars and it was how writers and directors worked their way up in the system. That died with DVD. Now there is nothing between cheap indies and mega budget marvel slop. Star of established franchises isn't usually the actor, its the character, actor might become a star but he is always compared to previous one in the role. Those mid budget movies could be anything from action slop and decent if uninspired thrillers to actually smart stuff that made people think.

>>219763236
>Why does it no longer happen?
2 reasons:
-Boomers are deathly scared of losing their cultural hegemony
-Oversaturation of media
On the first point, boomers (and gen x'ers_ are very reluctant to support anything original from millennials that isn't a retread of something older.
And on the second point, even when something new is successful, there's so much media that it's a drop in the ocean. When Ghostbusters released there was nothing else like it available. It played in the cinema for like 6 months and it was your only option for a supernatural comedy.
Nowadays, something like Crime 101 releases and it's forgotten within a month (despite being absolute kino) because in that month 3 more films and 6 new series are released, all in that same genre.

Really? I see a lot of “unc”posting, and then people reacting to it. Also, a lot of zoomers saying “Erm, ackshually the (entry in a franchise that everyone likes) is overrated trash and (entry of a franchise that everyone agrees is shit) is ackshually the best one.”

They’re a generation doomed to root through our garbage and tell us that it’s delicious, because the only shit that they’ve got beyond that is SpongeBob references and living vicariously through streamers. I would feel bad for them if they weren’t such obnoxious mouthy cunts.

>>219763461
Boomers are about to learn the hard way that they don't own culture anymore.
The first film will do great, but not as great as they hope (maybe crack $1b, definitely less than $1.5b worldwide).
Second film will make a fraction of that, maybe $500m ww at absolute best (but probably sub $300m).
3rd and 4th films will be combined into one that will likely go straight to streaming.

True but I don't watch movies just to be part of something, I watch them to experience the vision of a certain director. It's unfortunate that in modern times talented directors, especially from your generation, are not given a change to shine but I have plenty of old material to enjoy.

The point of counter culture was to become the new mainstream if it was strong enough to do so. New counter cultures always popped up on regular basis and pushed the old ones out of their spot in the sun and old ones became persistent sub cultures. Some embedded themselves into mainstream culture and became influences on all following cycles.

As everything already made remains and continues to exist as its own niche subculture. We reached a point where becoming the new mainstream became impossible, best thing most cultural movements can achieve is basically mainstream within its own niche. There is no truly unifying mainstream culture in fractured world of niches. Internet has only amplified it, you have algorithms feeding you stuff you seem to like endlessly. You aren't just living in echo chamber made by your own habits, tastes and social circles, technology builds it and reinforces it as active measure.

This is more obvious in music than in movies, because entry point is or at least was much lower. Lets look at heavy metal. It developed from rock'n'roll via 60's hard rock, took influences from 70's glam rock and it was mainstream from late 70's or early 80's to early 90's. From there on, there has been few mainstream heavy metal hits here and there, but that too died probably couple decades after genre fall from the grace. Mostly older established bands, who will tour the world filling stadiums until too many members die of old age or substance abuse. Almost no band or artist ever reaches the height old boomers reached in their career. Unless its pushed by some media company and probably involves some kind of reality shit show on some streaming service.

This.

>our culture

Wtf does that even mean? Right now our culture consists of all media attempting to pander to those 80'and 90's 35+ year old people who don't like any of the new garbage coming out, while all the younger generation does is bitch and talk shit about how it wasn't that good. Meanwhile no one gives a shit about any of the new content being created because it is all actual forgettable garbage.
>>
>>219769406
disagree. Counter culture is a space for cool people to gate themselves away from the mainstream. It's inherently exclusionary.
>>
Back to the entry point of achieving anything. For past couple decades people have been able to do all the sound engineering on a fucking 300 dollar laptop with another 300 spent on software, anyone in theory could do a fucking musical masterpiece in their basement. In 1980's all that may have required studio worth of hundreds of thousands and couple sound technicians who knew their shit. Now we are reaching point where anyone who can prompt generative AI properly, at least in theory, make that masterpiece without ever bothering to learn to play an instrument or to sing.

For fucks sake. Take a look at random electronic music mixes on YouTube. Decade or so ago those featured real art. Some picture by some poor bastard on deviant art or maybe a photo. Now its all AI generated slop so whoever makes the mix, doesn't have to bother communicating with randoms on internet.

Before this trend it was ther 50's, 60's and 70's. 90's nostalgia is already being mined, and 00's is on the way, if it isnt already here.

A lot like millennials stole/absorbed gen x culture, gen z will absorb gen alpha culture of the 2030s which will either be Great Depression 2 or fucking rule. You'll have AI, Virtual Reality memes, robots, sex bots, Mars mission maybe, definitely Moon Bases, President Ocasio-Cortez. 2010s were decent so Gen Z will have nostalgia for 2010-2016 the Obama years.

Everything has been in absolute freefall, since pretty much the turn of the millennium.

The ultimate black pill: Majority of global population will shrink in next 20 years due to rising wealth gap. The economy won't be able to sustain 8 billion people so most people will just have live below the poverty line while only the rich will have accesses to all the resources we do now.
2030s-2040s will be the wake up call for Everyone who thought 80s America middle class lifestyle could last forever.
AI, grown lab food etc will replace normal products to sustain economic growth, stuff that would make you seem poor like eating subsistence food will become sign of being part of the middle class.

Yes, probably. Depending. American culture was basically good from its start up to 2000. So pick whichever era most appeals to you. Personally I'm a pre-war guy. I would love to live in a city without cars, with streetcars and people walking all over. Also generally morality has been in decline, so the farther back you go the better, although it didn't hit free fall until relatively recently.

I don't buy it. Money isn't what determines fertility. Some of the poorest places have the highest rates. There is plenty of wealth and tech out there for everyone to live a middle class life. If everything goes to shit it will be because of our culture and leadership screwing everything up, not shortages or economic limits.
