Found this article rather interesting:

Why editorial illustrations look so similar these days​



And if you have time, also look through this one:

The age of average​



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In art history we have these ages of art, like Baroque, classicism, romanticism etc. I propose that in a century or two, our own age will become known as the age of genericism, in which everyone tried to outdo everyone else in producing the same thing over and over. :)
 
I noticed the "ticky-tacky" effect years back when Caddies no longer looked any different than other cars. 😕

If you notice, what's popular in the galleries...it's the same thing. Everything gets repeated over and over again. Even within the same artist's body of work too. It's so consistent, there's just no room for anything different. It's a single idea, then that one idea is repeated. Most galleries don't want anything else.
