Movies have been a pet peeve for me for a long time even before 5.1 and surround theatres. Yes even before this the loud was often too loud and the quiet passages made dialog difficult to hear for even those with A+ hearing. 115dB during peaks wouldn't bother me though. 10dB from pain threshold and especially if it contained mainly LF from explosions which Hollywood is in love with for some reason.
As for loud at concert venues this has been gong on a long time. It's a rock and roll thing and has fanned out into other genres. I think they (whoever that is) think there is power in loudness and they want that association.
Proper ear plugs are really great. The best being the type where you get an earmold made of your ear and get a custom fit attenuating plug. The best are available in different attenuation levels (9,15,25dB) and have a chamber that lets in the proper amount of mid and high frequency. As most here know a regular earplug will kill mids and highs and occlude the ear canal which besides being a little uncomfortable after a time makes the sound of your own voice odd. See link.
