Why are young people less interested in art and culture?

Hello again, in this post I would like to talk to you about something that is bothering me for a while.
As a young person I am constantly surrounded by other young people and i have inside look and knowledge of everything that is happening so I'm not 50 years old person who is talking about something that he is not part of and just can't understand (not that there is something wrong with 50 years old people, they are great).


Anyway I personaly enjoy art very much in every form, especially books. Since I was little I loved reading and writing a lot and my parents and family were very supportive and encouraging of my, lets call it, hobby. In school there were some people who loved to read too but most of them were more into tv shows, series and stuff like that. As I was geting older less and less people were interested in any type of literature and art in general. I was and still am very confused about this. I thought that they are going to understand and appreciate the beauty of books, paintings , classic music, poetry or any other type of art when we get older... but no. Majority of people still don't know anything about art and consider that people who are our age and have interest in art are weirdos. They decide to read a book only if someone famous is talking about it and they blindly like it if that person said it's good (not talking about 50 Shades of Gray at all). No offense, I respect everyone who is a creative author, my despair is addressed to people who glorify this and every other mediocre novel because it has a good advertising and by that  they are disparaging great writers and artists. Again I'm not trying to offend anyone and I'm not saying that everyone has to love reading I'm just saying that I don't  understand how can you like 50 Shades of Grey or something similar and don't like or have no time to read some of the greatest writers of all time like Dante Alighieri or William Shakespear or Tolstoy or Hemingway...


I live in a small county in Europe so if you live somewhere else make sure you let me know in the comments is this happening where you live too? Also I would like to recommend you a great book to read. It's called Great Expectations and it's by Charles Dickens (first read a book and then watch the movie). If you did read it let me know did you like it.


Thanks for reading friend.


P.S. If there are some grammatical mistakes in the text don't be mad at me, English is not my native language.
