Why did every art form (music, cinema, literature) after WW2 became so shallow? I mean everything is "happy" and there isn't one questioning how things work or trying to actually empower the listener. Is there a philosopher that talks about this?

Cinema didn't become shallow until the 90s, and only Hollywood cinema.

If anything the Vietnam War got a lot of mainstream good movies, there are tons of non-mainstream movies out there just like in every media. But overall, "pop art" kinda dominated mainstream post WW2 world

I don't. Last time I've been there was two years ago, but before that I used to browse it every day.

Idk if this is bait but I'll bite.

Factually untrue, postmodernism and high modernism came into swing post-WWII. Concrete poetry, Theatre of the Absurd, spoken word poetry. In visual art we had abstract expressionism. In music we had bepop, cool and west coast jazz, post-rock, hip-hop. In architecture post-modernism again, brutalism. I'm not a cinema fan because it's a pleb medium so I can't comment on movies. Of course there was the rise of pop art, that was to be expected with the diversification of entertainment mediums to the masses. But you're a fucking degenerate if you think true art is gone.
