Nope, this is a very common thought these days.
Many of my friends are watching media from the 90's to early 2010s, and I've been doing the same.
I can only guess why:
- More focus on content instead of message
- Less political restriction on content compared to today
And this includes friends across the political spectrum.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoIt might be a common thought, but it's a goofy thought. There is plenty of content that is modern and has a focus on content, and 'less political restriction' isn't an issue unless you have shitty views.
- itsoktocry 3y agoOr...perhaps they better relate to the messages of those periods? I don't enjoy today's politics, either. But art and entertainment was never really politics-free.
- moffkalast 3y agoI would say I really miss filler episodes that were the norm for genuine TV shows, every damn series is a fucking miniseries these days with zero fat and it just doesn't let the writers do any kind of proper worldbuilding anymore because there's no time for it.
- rmellow 3y agoGreat point. Declining attention spans (or the perception of it / catering to these audiences) has borked the pacing. Watch an action movie from the 90s: they're _slow_ by today's standards, but if we stick to it with no distractions, it greatly adds to the viewing experience. This is great for building worlds and charismatic characters.
- boomboomsubban 3y agoI remember a lot of adults in the mid 90's primarily watching reruns from 70's and 80's. The main factor is nostalgia, not some inherent flaw in modern shows.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoExactly.
