Not quite exactly free verse, but a complete banalization of topics, shallowness of approach and short insight and attention spans.

At first (maybe the forties, fifties) those poets were lauded as the peak of creativity and intelectuality for daring (gasp!) to go upstream. That rebellious spirit persisted, though absolutely devoid of originality, spirit or content, and so we're stuck with a bunch of pretentious faggots who can't write subordinate clauses giving birth to atrocious, self-appeasing "poems" that don't say anything, don't move anything and don't achieve anything other than some claps and cheers from dull-cow-eyed sheeps in poetry slams.

I got plenty more rants where this one came from. The modern state of poetry is, for the most part, wallowing in stale, 80-year-old postmodernism.
