I can't help but be sympathetic towards your disdain for what all too often passes nowadays as culture. But maybe you are also just looking for culture in all the wrong places...

Vice? Not really a temple of culture, in my humble opinion.

That said, if you look for it, you can find plenty of culture and opportunities for shared experiences. I would give one example: Emmett Cohen, an excellent and entertaining (and personable!) pianist who plays with other musicians and has freely broadcast (and shared) performances live for many weeks on the internet.

Even some television and movies, although much is not so good, are enlightening and uplifting, if you know where to look. (Right now I'm enjoying Gentleman from Moscow.)

Our society and civilization is in big trouble and is failing is too many ways. But culture still exists; and even historically, 80% of everything is crap because really good enduring stuff is hard to create.

For every Victor Hugo novel that seems brilliant and immortal, there are dozens of failed and forgotten attempts. Because only what's truly great survives, we think of the past as a Golden Age. But in truth, there was as high a proportion of crap to brilliance then as there is now.

Don't lose heart!
