Why is it that in Western culture a single topic dominates a medium: songs are about love, comic books are about superheroes, video games are about first person shooters, literature is about detectives/crime…etc?
First of this is not meant to bash Western, potentially is only mainstream American Culture, there are many geniuses working here. It's just an observation, I'm wondering if there's a deep reason behind this.
Is there a racial reason for this? Maybe white americans have a different cognitive processing than other races. Or is it mostly a commercial reason? Where this stuff sell? Then why do even indie artist mostly talk about this topics...etc?
I had to go to a hardcore british band called, "Wire" more interesting topics where they sing about maps...etc. Wire is a an extremely artsy band who wanted to be deliberately different.
