"Nearly everything of lasting value and significance that is available to each generation is already in the past. The fashionable concerns of the day are not worth bothering about unless they happen to coincide with what is lastingly important - and then they are worth bothering about anyway, not because they are fashionable but because they are lastingly important." - Confessions of a Philosopher by Brian Magee.
I'm taking that as justification for why so few items of current culture interest me as I get older.
