America is losing its teenager enthusiasm

NY Times - Over the past two decades, the American share of the global box office has declined from 92 percent to 66 percent. In 2022, 142,000 people were employed in Los Angeles County in the motion picture industry; by 2024, it was 100,000. U.S. music is also in decline. By 2023, over half of the artists generating $10,000 or more on Spotify were from non-English-speaking countries. The teen bedrooms of the world are no longer dominated by posters of American performers. The bedrooms of American teenagers are no longer dominated by them, either.
