Everythingsbeendoneism? Perhaps there is another term I’m not familiar with.
P.S. I don’t personally subscribe to this view, but am just wondering what to call it . . . cultural exhaustion? 🤷♂️
EDIT: I should say that I don’t necessarily subscribe to this view; it kind of depends on what mood I’m in, to what degree I’m projecting my own feelings of old age and fatigue onto the outside world, and so forth.
The older I get, the more things seem to be just new examples of things I’ve seen already. But that’s not to say that those things aren’t worth creating. How many times has the word “the” been used? Doesn’t mean we should stop saying it. Works of art are a form of communication too, and reflect the times and contexts in which they are created.
