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.

    I’ve heard this, too, but, um, she’s unbelievably attractive in a conventional way with an amazing body? Anyone with eyes and enjoys the female form is going to appreciate that, so, of course she’s going to be embraced in a medium like films?

    I don’t get how this is anti-woke, but maybe I’m not terminally online enough to get it. Has there been some parade of very unattractive women with unattractive bodies being embraced in film that I missed?
