maybe you're looking in the wrong places for the wrong things. i hate facebook and twitter too, which is why i don't use them or ever follow activity on them. don't like music that's coming out? look for better music. there's plenty of good shit going on in punk and post rock right now.
too many photographers is a fallout from photography becoming less of a craft and more of a hobby because douchebags can use lightroom instead of a darkroom. it's an unfortunate consequence of technology. i have a master's in photojournalism but i don't call myself a "photographer," i just take pictures and let other people mind their own business.
a lot of problems with culture right now are spawning from people joining groups (twitter, flickr, tumblr) and then trying to spawn off and be "individuals" - parallel to how clothing companies try and tell you to "become an individual" by selecting a variety of their garments to fit your personal style.
if you don't like what the world has to offer, tell it to fuck off and do it yourself. there is good shit out there. not a lot, but it's there and it wants to be found.
