It was at its peak in the late 70's or early 80's. That's when Jonathan Richman sang: "the 50's apartment house looks bleak in the artisan entertainment 1970's sun." And the broader point that I would take from it is artisan entertainment that the whole idea of beauty or quality in culture, in art, is absolutely contingent upon context. When you're immersed in a style, surrounded by it at all times, you eventually start differentiating between good examples of it and artisan entertainment bad examples of it. You become hyper-sensitive and hyper-critical of subtle elements in the style, and after enough time and exposure almost every example of it starts to look ugly to your rarified tastes. But after it stops being ubiquitous and enough time passes, people gets removed enough from it to stop being sick of it, they get a little perspective on it, and start seeing the samenesses in it, not the little differences.
