Good art and writing doesn't discriminate between place or time or people making it and you can't make a mental guide on where to find it. This goes doubly for trying to make a mental guide for where not to find it, especially if you're excluding entire pools of creativity based on a shallow perception of the "types of people" you think enjoy it. There are stories written by stuffy weirdos centuries ago that'll blow your tits off. There are stories written by weird little girls more profound than any modern bestseller. And there are modern bestselling tiktok trending novels that are Actually That Good. You have to sift and mine and dig and claw around to hunt for the profound, and there's no getting around this ever, and if you try to you'll only create a sad, limited palette for Story. Also all art is subjective and one man's cringe is another's masterpiece. Hope this helps
(yes some of these overlap and some are suppositions. for example if parchment is always used for ephemera, rough drafts, notes, and never re-used or re-purposed, we can also assume that the author is unaware of wax tablets as a concept)
