I think you're onto something with the decline in dystopian fiction. I think for some, it's uncomfortable to have the truth mirrored so accurately, and for others, the reality is already so difficult to bear that they can't also experience that darkness in artistic form.
Your writing is so lovely, Courtney. And this post resonated with me so much, as I feel the same way right now. This line was amazing, "Met Gala or Hunger Games? The only difference I see is that Capitol citizens are still allowed to have wrinkles."
Hiyaa, loving your page!🥰 I just wrote this one, connecting art with society through pop culture (def worth checking out hihi)! 🌍💞https://notesofanoverthinkinggirl.substack.com/p/the-end-of-the-2010s-dystopian-genre?r=4bsz9b&utm_medium=ios

Thanks so much, Sally. It felt eerie to be reading about the Capitol while looking at those photos. The similarities are uncanny.
