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.

      Charts these days mostly seems to mean how many tiktok videos play the song. When I ask people what kind of music they like it’s either “whatever I find on tiktok” or some random niche band I’ve never heard of like Ralph and the Orange Peels.
