Summary

In 2024, pop culture reflected a conservative resurgence, marked by increased popularity of hyper-masculine “bro” figures, country music, and traditional femininity.

Stars like Sydney Sweeney were embraced as symbols of a backlash against “woke culture” and the Me Too movement.

Country artists like Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan dominated charts, while conservative films, such as Reagan and Am I Racist?, saw box office success.

Analysts suggest this cultural shift is both a response to progressive movements and a strategic attempt by conservative media to shape public sentiment.

    Bruh I forgot “charts” are still a thing. I’ve not listened to an artist above 600k monthlies on Spotify in like 5 years neither does anyone I know. We’re all in our niches. I guess this “death of common big media/pop culture” is yet another intellectualist bubble.

    I honestly can’t fathom people identifying with what one would describe as “backlash against the metoo movement”

    “Can’t stand hearing all those women say they were raped or sexually harassed. I just won’t tolerate it.”

      “hearing about all that stuff makes me uncomfortable, and I personally didn’t do anything wrong”

      This is literally the argument.

      “You’re not allowed to say anything these days! Next they’ll come for me!”

      Bro if what they’re saying about rapists and harassers means they’ll come for you then you are a bad person and they should come for you. But probably also you’re just victim complexing and nobody is going to accuse of anything other than being an annoying ass

      What’s the “dumb ass take” from this? Because based on what just happened a lot of this is accurate. Sad, but accurate.
