This is a problem with so called street photographers. They want instant recognition so they oversell this "artsy" angle to their work, but nobody is interested regardless. The mundane is something that needs to be documented as well. I know a lot of photographers try to avoid taking photos that pinpoints something to our era, that this is somehow not desired, but I think that is a big mistake. Even though things are dull and amalgamated it will at one point look interesting because of how distant and different it is.
I say embrace the grayness, embrace the bad weather, embrace modernity when it comes to photography. You can dislike those things all you want and most do, but it is reality nevertheless and that is what people want to see. They don't want to see some funky shadows and a man wearing a bowler hat walking across an intersection.
