Not really. Quality is usually the same, if not better.
The reason it feels like it’s getting worse is because you get both the good and bad things in the modern age. When you look at older media content, you’re usually only looking at the good stuff. Bad media content always existed. 
You think video games are getting bad now? Video games were so bad that in the early 80s there was a video game crashed that destroyed the whole media genre. 
You think X song sounds generic? Trust me, every decade has their version. Do you remember “Baby” by Justin Beiber? It’s a basic love song, but it has appeared every generation. Look up “Sugar, Sugar, Honey” by The Archies, came out in 69’ but it’s the same song. Both made top 10 in the top 100 songs of their respective year.

It sounds like either you’re at the age where you’re becoming cynical and understand that not every piece of media is gonna be good. In which case, you should know there’s lots of older trash media.
Or you’re much older and “these darn kids don’t know what good music is” and you just clearly forgotten the bad media you grew up.

For the case that quality is getting better, it is much easier in this day and age to make games, music, and movies as well as distribute them. Of course, this creates a lot of amateur stuff that lacks the quality of professional work. However we get more diverse work and creativity from independent studios and artists that we wouldn’t get because the suits put profits over artistic expression.

I want this person to drive their K car to KMart to buy a copy of Tron, ET for Atari, and a six pack of Billy Beer, and go home and enjoy that along with an episode of Three's Company and tell me how superior things were.
