Why are people being dumbed down?

[Justin]

I mean this in all ways, in music, personality, culture and social interaction. I mostly mean the last 10 or so years.Because the music is getting simpler and more mass produced, the whole #SWAG culture or whatever the f*ck it is just makes you look and sound stupid. Our culture is based off of the flaws within people, the media and television is filled with reality tv shows of stupid people doing stupid things that a person of normal intelligence would have avoided. Why are we as Americans becoming more and more egotistic and individualistic? I am not saying that egoism and individualism is a bad thing, I am a strong believer in individualism. Our morality as a society has gone down the toilet. Why do we worship celebrities fro their talents AND their flaws? We revolve m roe and more around social networking and the internet that we are slowly becoming reliant upon them for human interaction and entertainment. And we wonder why people hate Americans. I don't mean this stereotypically, but as a society we are becoming more and more stupid with every day that goes by.
