Many of the movies shown above were action movies, where men were the target audience.

Medir, James, Emmakete- back when the Simpsons were referencing bands such as Sonic Youth, that band was in the eyes of popular culture. Now, this song is pop culture, and the Simpsons put their spin on it. This is how they work, this is how they're still on the air.

I think you're disheartened because the things you liked years ago aren't popular culture.

Just enjoy it. I thought it was funny and I don't care for that song, either.
