I think I see what you're saying, but this is, essentially: culture. It's expression. It's art for those who consider it art. If you find it cringe, then it's not art from your perspective, it's a fad. It will always be culture and a "sign of the times", if you like.
You can learn a lot about a society by studying these art forms.

- movedx 3y agoWell there you go: you're analysing it and asking what it means. What it represents. I think it represents a lack of creativity coming out of main stream Hollywood and other "big ticket" industries. Nothing seems original any more. It's _mostly_ all polished, formulaic junk in my opinion (I loved the Barbie movie though - super fun.) So from my perspective, this sort of thing is culture in that informs us how our society is thinking and what it values.
