I noticed this while listening to music, but it seems to be similar in other media such as twitch streams. You would think that such an important would be mentioned a lot because it affects everyone, but it seems to be strongly avoided.

    In France, there was a push for a lot of comedy sketches on the national TV etc that dealt with the pandemic during the first lockdown. It was mostly unfunny, IMO. So I think it’s just not popular. I’ve also seen a lot of parody or even original french songs but not that many English ones (with a couple of exceptions like the Bobi Wine one). Actually, the best representation has come from Shameless, a US TV show about a poor family in Chicago. They are talking about it, wearing masks etc. I think stuff like Reality TV or “fictional” reality TV (don’t know the word for this but I mean for things like Coronation Street or Eastenders, Plus Belle La Vie, Un si Grand Soleil…) that will have to deal with it because they are not really planing on selling the show down the road plus are based in the same year as when the show comes out.

    Haven’t seen much but probably because it is depressing and also it’s been hard to do stuff since the start of the pandemic so once we start getting rolling we’ll get films for example in 2022. Will be a bit weird.
