The great blandening
A cultural moment or slow-burning era where everything starts to feel generic, safe, soulless, and algorithmically optimized—usually in the name of profit, political correctness, or fear of backlash.
It’s the opposite of creative risk, raw authenticity, or human soul. You feel it in music, art, fashion, politics, even conversations—like someone sanded off all the sharp edges of reality.

Ever since 2020, it feels like we’re living through The Great Blandening—every song sounds like an ad jingle and even rebellion feels pre-approved.
