It could be just we are all old but it seems like it. The internet has allowed us all to be "the one metalhead in the village" by linking us to other fans on the net. That means we have less of a shared culture. Perhaps that is only because we are nerds who don't interact with normies and normie culture.
Main stream culture does seem to have stalled. So many remakes of movies. So many sequels. TV also has a bunch of sequels and a few remakes. TV is another major change. Zoomers don't watch linear TV. A group of friends don't tune in to the same channel at the same time to watch the same show. They'll binge on as much as possible.
I can't comment on music because I was never into popular music.
