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.


Not quite a direct answer, but I feel like this world view is linked to seeing art primarily as a commodity rather than a way to express emotions.
With expressive art, it doesn’t particularly matter whether you write the millionth poem in a standard rhyme scheme and meter, so long as what you express comes across.
But commodity art is explicitly ‘clean’, it does not carry a message or at least not a particularly complex/interesting message.
And then, yeah, suddenly you ask yourself why would someone look at this particular drawing of a dragon, when there’s been a million drawings of dragons before.
