What happened to movie taglines?

quote [ They used to be memorable and quotable. Now they're redundant, wordy, or banal. ]

Yeah, i-i-it's, uh, it's pronounced tagline
You know, like on movie posters

Blanddom is king these days. Nothing has color. Taglines suck - as do movie scores in general. Taupe rules our popular media pallet. Even Moana has been color graded edgy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfFPhsa6stM

Banal, uninteresting, unoffensive.
