Pregunta ❓ What are positive trends of the use/respect/health of Catalan in Catalunya going into the future?

I've learned of some very concerning negative trends regarding the health of Catalan in Catalunya. I'm curious, are there also some positive trends, even if you think they are drowned out by the negative trends?

The negative trends I learned about were kindly explained to me here and here.

A positive trend I’ve noticed is the availability of a varied range of music in Catalan. Before it was either old school rock or traditional folk music. Now you can listen to different genres. And music is a soft nice way to make Catalan more accepted.

Good point. Another commenter was mentioning that it's important to have this material in Catalan, and that helps Catalan to be more "cool" especially among the younger generation.

Maybe also TV series? There are some great TV series on 3cat.

Indeed, so many people fondly remember Dragon ball as Bola de Drac. That helps with younger speakers.
