Spoiler Alert: If you haven't hugged your mom since a year ago because of the rona, you aren't that close to begin with. Don't pretend otherwise.

If that's really the answer then I dont hate it. I kinda appreciate the "do the best you can in 15 mins" mentality. Often that's 90% as good as what you could do in a half hour.
I think that's why it bothers me, we used to take pride in commercial art, now everything looks like a children's book or JazzFest poster contest winner.
My uncle is an artist. He used to work for a local news station illustrating the daily news graphics for them. He's done quite a few jazz posters as well back in the day. Things like this used to take real artistic ability and effort, now it is just some formulaic garbage that represents the cultural stagnation of the west about as well as our mainstream music. I feel the need to mention that this comment comes from what is about your average, outdoorsy redneck. The fact that I value and appreciate real art and music more than our supposed intellectuals should be alarming at the very least. I should also point out that my father, my uncle and I elicit a hilarious reaction from the progressives when we go to art shows and small-forum concerts. There is always a "we don't like your kind round these here parts" vibe coming off all the blue hairs and male feminists.
Yeah that's why I say "poster contest winner", like when a local concert promoter in the jazz/hippie/jam genre is too cheap to hire a real artist and they just crowdsource the art with a contest or one of their barfly artist friends - it's passable but never as sharp as a commercial artist with experience and a good eye.
Mainstream-est music is pretty garbage now, there are a few standouts in the same septic tank with Cardi B's sloppy diseased gash and Billie Eilish's zoned out heroin ahegao face and 20 generic noglords rapping about pussy, cars, and Glocks with varying levels of skill.
Overall though, for music tomorrow is the best time - now that everything's digitized you're not in any way limited to the literal feces the radio and top 40 streaming lists pump out, and there are tons of currently active unsigned/true indie bands in just about any genre to discover.
