I wonder why no one is making good art anymore? 🤔

Boring people create boring art.
Zelda was inspired by Shigeru Miyamoto's childhood exploring caves in the countryside.
Pokemon came about from Satoshi Tajiri's love of catching bugs.
Hemingway and Tolkien's stories were shaped by war.
Your modern "artist" does none of that. They live a mediocre existence of sitting in chairs, and occasionally "travel" to sit in a different chair and stuff their face with ethnic yum-yums.
This isn't it. I have a boring life by comparison but I could create good art. The internet used to have great "art" before it all became censored.
A sterile culture that censors excellence leads to boring art. You cannot conform to this culture and produce quality art. If you do not conform to this culture you will never be given any opportunities to display your art and you will be censored if you do by the institutions of power in this culture.

CaptainTrouble is right here.
The guy who created Conan the Barbarian, Solomon Kane, he created both of those in his 20s, living in a small po-dunk town in Texas. he had commited suicide at like the age of 32.
He created those by being well read and creative, not by leading an extraordinary life.
It can help, having an interesting life, but it's more about what CaptainTrouble says. Your output is severely impacted by your input. If the input you start with is ugliness, wokeness and the opposite of freedom, there's zero chance of you producing art that is good.
People could live a boring life and create good art if their minds aren't poisoned.
It's the same point. HallucinatorBeing is right but that the examples made it seem like it has to be something out of the ordinary.
But it doesn't need to be something exotic. The problem is that rather than having even the day-to-day life experience of someone in a po-dunk town in Texas, they are consuming media. Which goes well with what CaptainTrouble said. Garbage in, garbage out.
In the past, the input was a blend of real-world experience and other artistic influences. Now the only input outside of overproduced slop that they're getting is the most minimal of life experiences. Which is why the only thing they write is petty arguments, relationship drama, and pop-culture references.
