Over the last 10 to 15 years I've noticed a lack of creativity in everything from recycled movies, music, clothing...etc.

What do you think is the cause?

Facebook? Twitter? The integration of society via electronics? I'm guessing your too old to consider this creative?

Laziness. Easier to recreate the Great Gatsby then create your own classic on a level with the Great Gatsby

It is also sure money. It is a business not for artistic progress. A movie company knows that The Great Gatsby, even if it blows this May, will still make 600+ million$ worldwide likely a shite ton more since it should be better.

A new movie script that is an amazing movie and groundbreaking won't be a sure guarantee for ticket sales

I don't see a lack of creativity, I see a lack of taste.

They are the entitlement generation ... they believe everything is owed them, therefore they have no motivation to seek anything for themselves. And that applies to some, not all, by any means.

They have been raised by video games, liberal progressive TV and movies, and by parents too busy trying to make ends meet, or keep up with the Jones, to actually take special interest in seeing their children develop viable healthy imaginations and creative internal drives.

This generation has little to no respect for anything. They have very few manners. They have even fewer social skills.

Here's the irony.

Yesterday it was revealed that, next to mortgage debt, educational debt is the second largest debt in the country. And it was also revealed that kids are dropping out of school at a higher rate than ever before in the history of this country.

Why?

Because they've learned that the government will pay them enough to sustain them through life ... no need to actually be creative, and work for it any longer.

They've learned that their parents will allow them to move back home and live in their old bedrooms.

They've learned they can have babies and not have to marry, or worry about how to pay for them ... because Uncle Sugar and their parents will take care of all of that.

It's simply easier to lay back, copy things, and enjoy life compared to say ... I dunno, being creative and carving their own niche in the history of the world.

Many of them believe they are actually doing something by being expert trolls on the Internet, or by being disrespectful to their elders or ... well, you asked.

I think the creativity is still there, it just doesn't get the appreciation or exposure it deserves.

It isn't the young generation, it is the baby boomers.

I'd say we're more creative than ever. If you knew more about movies, you'd notice that this isn't anything new.

In 1900, you were either creative with a vivid imagination or you died or boredom as a kid. Children have so much pre-packaged stimulation these days that it is no longer necessary to develop certain skills to entertain yourself and others.

The populice as a whole is smarter due to education and technology, but less creative for the same reasons.

There are lots of great new movies and lots if great new music.

The difference is that the major entertainment companies are no longer putting them out, you have to go find them on your own.

Also you're just getting older.
