This isn't even a question. MUSIC.
Some say we're born into the grave.

Definitely music. Still plenty of good movies, just not ones that are lighting up the box office.

Music. Even though most movies do suck I can find a few from time to time I enjoy.

There hasn't been an original concept in a movie for a couple of decades and music is boring. I can't choose.

Outside of Hollywood there are still good independent and foreign films being made. Likewise, there's still good music to be found.

Tough choice, both are terrible.

I agree with you on music. I have been talked into seeing some local bands and I thought they all sucked.

mainstream music is the worst. but because of the smaller investment, you'll also find better music if you really look for it, since there is more of it. music can be more independent as a result.
movies are a larger investment, so they do need to cater to a larger audience and aren't always total subversive mind-control. however, movies are almost never free of nonsense because of all the cooks in the kitchen.
i'd say mainstream television is almost as bad or worse than modern mainstream music.

Even the stuff that isn't AI generated sounds like it is.
Great point and for the most part I agree.

Music. Even the stuff that isn't AI generated sounds like it is. Totally forgettable.

Probably music. There hasn't been a good popular song in at least 2 decades.

I'm not sure there are any. I think there are some artists who are universally recognized and some of them have been around for decades at this point, but I'd expect that to be the exception moving forward. Everything will be more niche, which means that you will be able to access more music than ever in line with your specific tastes and are free to ignore the rest.

Artists have no staying power today. Who are the modern day Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash. They don't exist.

The music business and music as an art form are separate things. The music business could certainly be doing better, specifically addressing the streaming payment model and breaking up monopolies like iHeartMedia and Live Nation.
But, even so, there are artists selling out arenas today who couldn't have found space on any radio playlist a few decades ago and this is entirely due to the internet.

Music is in great shape?? No one buys albums anymore and artists make pennies from streaming services. An artist has to tour, tour, tour while they are popular for a few years and then they disappear.

Neither are bad. You just have to dig a little to find the good stuff (or the stuff you're into). Music in particular is in great shape these days, thanks to the internet leveling the playing field and exposing people to countless artists and even entire genres they'd have never been aware of back when they relied on the radio and MTV to curate their music for them.

Both Suck!
