I'll give you two simple examples: videogames and music.
When you complain with a normie about it about the former they'll say something in the lines of "you just got older" "you're in a different stage of your life now" "thats just nostalgia knocking".
Now, if you complain about the latter, they'll get even more defensive, and say "ofc, you only listen to radio shit" "have you tried non mainstream music?" "You're just a bigot" "you're the type to hate on anything thats popular, arent you?"
There's ALWAYS an excuse with these people to not adress the elephant in the fucking room.
That is, that EVERYTHING, including SOCIETY ITSELF IS JUST GOING DOWN THE GUTTER.
There is two expressions in my country to refer to this kind of phenomena.
First one is "tapar o sol com a peneira" which translates to trying to block the sun light with something that wont work. Its not wanting to accept a given situation and sinking your head in the sand waiting for it to just go away.
Second one is "o pior cego é aquele que não quer ver" which means "the worst kind of blind man is the one who doesnt want to see", and that one is pretty self explanatory.
