"Hollywood and Television through the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s was escapist entertainment - an escape from reality. Music was more thought provoking. That has been flipped - music is generally mindless background noise and television some movies are lot richer and deeper."
Many good point in what you, though I would soften the stress a bit on the above quote. Television has transformed recently because it has freed itself from advertising via Netflix, HBO, etc. I don't thing all Hollywood films from the 1950s through the 1980s were escapist. In fact, I think some very good films were made for adult audiences. The target age for muost Hollywood would films is now about 16.
As for music, well, there has always been commercial garbage and, for those who search, there has always been quality performance. Not so sure anything has flipped.
