There comes a point in every young man's life where he looks at the Billboard Top 40 and says "No talent hacks". 
You've reached that point. 
 
The truth of the matter is that we in some ways live in a golden age of Western culture. 
I would argue that there's never been as much quality content released as there has been over the last couple of years. 
A look at TV, and serial content in general, should reveal this clearly. You have Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, House of Cards, Power, Stranger Things, Vinyl, Rick & Morty, Atlanta and Mad Men just to name a few. 
You might not like any of them, but at no other time has there been so much quality TV that has impacted the cultural zeitgeist in such a major way. 
 
Music wise it just sounds like your formative years are behind you, old man. 
Your taste in music has been cemented and eveything popular that'll come out from now on is bound to annoy and confuse you. 
Whether by design or by coincidence. It happened to your grandparents, your parents and now it's happening to you. 
The truth is that we live in a world of 100% democratized music. Everyone can create the music they like for an audience that likes the same thing. 
There will always be something out there for everybody. At no time before have so much quality music had the oppertunity to reach a wide audience. 
As for your point about mumble rap, I think your thinking about it wrong. Mumble rap was never meant to be lyrical, it's rather meant to fuse the vocals and the production. It's essentially no different than how death growls are used in extreme metal genres. 
While I can't force you to like it, or even appreciate it, I do think it should be given credit for what it is.  
 
In regards to movies there has been huge moves within the last 10 years. 
Superhero movies have become a mainstream fixture and is no longer a thing aimed directly at an audience of comic book nerds.
We've also seen the rise and fall of the YA movie genre within the same span, so things are certainly not stagnated within the movie industry. 
 
When it comes to YouTube you've more than likely run into the curse of the 5 year cycle. 
A format can only live for so long before it becomes formulaic, the audience leaved for greener pastures and then the format dies out.
Just look at the development of the let's play format. It pretty much started as montages, then became play-by-play guides, just to gradually become more and more personality focused untill they basically became vlogs with gameplay in the background.  
There's pretty much nothing sadder than seeing someone that got big in the beginning of YouTube and is now clinging on to relavance for dear life. 
Like, check if your favorite CoD YouTuber from 2011 have a Twitch channel and be prepared for the existential dread. 
 
Are you talking about the I–V–vi–IV progression? If so, yes, it has been used endlessly in pop music, but has seemingly seen a recession in later years.
There seems to have been a shift towards a IV-V-vi-V progression, which is certainly as functional, although, a bit less upbeat. 
I blame the Chainsmokers for popularizing this. 
 
That's an awful video.  
His main thesis rely on one study, which is purely based on measuring music on subjective measurments of "good", and then judging songs based on those measurments. 
Claiming that loudness (which is essentially just an effect) creates a less diverse soundscape is pure bullocks. Both Black Fast and Merzbow are mastered with loundness in mind, but the two couldn't sound any different.
The "Millennial Whoop" as you say is not really a sign of musical degradation, but rather that certain times have certain flavours in their music. 
If you go back to the 60's you'll hear an awful lot of vocal harmonization that sounds alike and if you go back to the 80's there are a lot of Casio PT-80 rythmes. 
 
Just addressing the lyrics of a piece of music is like only judging the tires of a car. Sure, it's important but it hardly gives you a full picture. 
A song is much and more than just it's lyrics. There's also musical structure, melody and the what is said by those "dumb" lyrics.
Persoanlly, I would rather listen to Bad and Boujee than Venus. At least the melody and structure of the Migos song is intersting and the lyrics, however dumb they are compared to the latter, are actually trying to convey something important.  
 
While this video doesn't directly address Thoughty2, it does attack a lot of the same points:
 

I had a GF who had braces when I was a young teenager, let's say we did a lot of experimentation together and let's also say that I found out the hard way that in certain situations braces can hurt, very much.

You'd probably have enough time to convert it because the guy attacking you would be too busy laughing at the guy trying to defend himself with an Optimus prime toy

Ah right yeah it will be then, the DP (v.1.2) on a 980ti should be good for up to 120Hz at that res i think

Tell him it's a waste of money to spend that amount for a build used only for daily tasks. Spending more money isn't going to make his experience better.

Hahahaha! I'm gonna use that exact metaphor! 

He probably means 10mb/s haha

Hey guys! 

I wanted to bring your attention to this project, currently crowdfunding to start manufacturing which is currently being discussed on Toms Hardware

http://www.tomshw.it/news/defcon-one-il-case-italiano-cerca-fondi-per-la-produzione-75534

We've spent the past year working on these projects and pretty exited to finally have them ready for manufacturing!

Here are some renders of what they will look like and if you want to contribute to the campaign, here is the link https://igg.me/at/hydracrowdfunding
 
Will update the thread with more news and articles as they come out

It's not exceptionally difficult for me.  Usually 3 pounds of force will do.
