I'm trying to think of an antonym here and struggling... just generate? If the opposite of desist is to persist then perhaps pergenerate? Dunno.
Progress/Regress might be a better way to term it.
Is it things which degrade certain cultural values? Can we necessarily agree on what values those are?
Sometimes I wonder if it's too broad a term because it assumes we agree on what degeneration is, or understand what specifically we're talking about degenerating.
Even though it's a broad term it seems in use (at least in our circles) to refer to something in the way of sexual morals for some reason. Even though you'd think that'd just be one of several ways you could degenerate, so it should deserve "sexual degeneracy" or something more specific.
