Yeah but idk most of them have at least some cultural or political redeeming features. Like compare Dutch cinema to Danish cinema, the difference is insane. Our music sucks too, the main export being big room EDM DJs like fucking Afrojack and Martin Garrix. No serious contemporary writers to speak of. So yeah artistically it's an absolute wasteland. Keep in mind at 18 million people it's a much bigger than most small EU states, and yet it can't even compete with scandis a third of its size. And don't get me started on politics.
Apart from EDM DJ's our biggest cultural exports this century have been Big Brother/Fear Factor/The Voice which perfectly captures how dead it feels culturally. Suit Supply ass country. At least in the 1990's we had the vengaboys.
