Why do people nowadays accept crap?

Crap music, Crappy men, Crappy women....Just accepting inferior poop....I see men and women hooking up with and chasing people when they surely can do better somewhere else. People accepting shitty entertainment....It just seems back in the day there wasn't as much bullshit as there is now. If some one ran into some crappy ass product or person they were dealt with properly or ignored and that person or the creator of that product had to get their stuff together. That seems to not be the case nowadays....It's very dissapointing....

if you don't like crappy shitfulness, that means you're just old and don't understand today's culture. so knock it off, grandpa.

I have the answer for crap movies: they are all made for adolescent boys nowadays, and have to gross millions in the opening weekend. actually that doesn't answer your question, though confuse why do we accept it? because there isn't much alternative. Crap men? again, by the time a woman has done the career thing and is ready to settle down, not so many fellas to choose from. Crap music? because to get a record deal these days you have to be on a TV soap, or a reality show, or famous for some reason already = crap.

I've been cured though, no more stupid ass bitches for me. Sometimes unexpectedly being confronted with the harsh reality works wonders. It hurts, but you snap out of it rather quick.

As far as music goes, well, it seems people would rather listen to some new crap than something which they don't know either, but is old. I don't think it's something that didn't excist in the past though. It's just that once we were the stupid kids who enjoyed it ourselves. wink

I guess I should have worded this more carefully....I don't mean mere generation pop culture gaps like Britney Spears to Madonna or MJ to Usher....I mean even in the "Good ole days" this has been going on. I mean people settling and hyping things and people who don't deserve it and only because they are too lazy or afraid to wait or go out and get quality. I mean this explanation for regular 9 to 5 ordinary men and women. It seems now more than any other time I can remember people are accepting just anything thrown at them, and in turn people are not trying to produce better efforts since half assing it is accepted.

Let me use the Org as an example....there is always an old school orger who remembers this place being a whole lot better than it is now. Better threads, more creativity ect...ect...This is based solely on their perceptions....For some peeps things back then sucked ass compared to now....and this topic will always have it's naysayers and those who believe times were better. My point is why don't people realize that if you stop accepting inferior things and people that eventually the quality as a whole will improve? Once those bringing crappy efforts to the table see that "That's not gonna work" then they will either quit and someone more qualified will step up, or they themselves will improve.

Perhaps because, as a whole, we are accepting of lower quality.

As far as products go, it seems that people are more concerned about the money than the quality of the piece. Furniture is shoddy and cheap and we're buying it up because of that. Everything is put together in a hurry, at the cheapest rate possible, with the least expensive materials and because of the price tons of them will sell.

Sort of the same thing with music. It's being accepted. Use a beat and not have to pay a band. More money in the bank and when that singer fizzles out, big deal, dress up a new one and throw them out there.

If your options are crap, it gets tiring to try and find the quality in there somewhere, and eventually you have to take the best of the crap you can find.

I agree....You do have little to choose from...but like you said you do get tired of looking for quality but some just don't bother even looking. That is what I don't get....At least try....
