TV these days owns. It is in its golden age 2.0 as far as I'm concerned.
Music is great these days as well, if you ignore mainstream pap, but even that's making a huge rebound.
eh no way.
BTW everyone and their mother knows that song. Its good, but I don't think it deserves to be ran into the ground.
also music isn't great these days. LOL
Look at RnB on the apple store. Nothing but Chris Brown shitty music, and rap? Nicki Minaj.
TV now has the budget to do things it could never have achieved, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago. The writing is stellar, most shows worth watching are shows with season spanning plots, interconnected themes, aren't episodic, and better written than the bulk of what you see in today's Hollywood. In fact, tv today, is what Hollywood used to be because some of the most famed actors and some writers have abandoned film for television. In what way is the post-Sorprano's tv era NOT a second golden age?
As for music, of course the top songs on itunes are going to be shit. That doesn't indicate in any way that music itself is shit. That's a really far reaching statement, considering the bulk of creative musicians are on indie labels or really obscure shit. Even then, mainstream acts like Metric are still putting out good music. You mentioned Chris Brown, but that doesn't stop Sade, Janelle Monae, and Frank Ocean from existing and carving their own niches in r&b.
