What Happened to Creativity and Originality?

Is it just me or is the state of originality and creativity in the United States seriously lacking? To much focus is being placed on remaking of old movies, music.. When was the last time a new Christmas Classic was created?

I don't listen to the radio anymore, its all advertising and commercial hip-pop..

The last refreshing song I heard was from Maroon-5 and the last couple of movies about magic, "The Prestige, and The Illusionist" were really well done..

I'm a pretty open guy and enjoy almost everything from opera to Opra.. So tell me, am I turning into my father? I think it would be interesting to do a generational study in perceptions of music and art, has this been done already?

No, you're NOT turning into your father. For the most part, the new movies and new music coming out these days is crap. There's only so much you can do with grunge, hip-hop, and rap before it all starts sounding the same (in reality all hip-hop and rap sounds the same after 10 minutes of listening) and these so-called "artists" are so freakin' lazy that they think they can capitalize on the success of someone else's movie or music. Of course, in most cases they're wrong because the re-make SUCKS in comparison...P.S.: Can't think of a recent Christmas classic, but the first "Santa Clause" movie was pretty good...
