I know that all popular media is derivative and recycled goyslop at this point, but on the odd occasion I dip into normieland I get struck by just how blatant and pervasive the "throwback" culture is. Everything is a remix of a replay of a re-edit and everything is seeking to capture and capitalise on this rose-tinted "aesthetic" of yesteryear. "Classic", "old school" and "retro" used to be a genre of popular media in itself, but now everything needs a classic sub-genre or a retro "version" of itself, from music to videos games to clothes, all the way down to phrases and affectations TV show characters use.

You can lament how this is just ZOG running out of fresh slop because evil cannot create, it can only twist and bend and destroy, or that our hyperactive demand for media stimulation is outpacing our ability to produce quality cultural artifacts, or any other example of clownish incompetence exhibited by our "leaders".

Whatever your diagnosis, I think the important thing to note is that zogged western culture is currently programming the youth demographic to both revile and erase its history, yet desire the good times of the past. This is an extraordinarily volatile position to put someone in when you're simultaneously giving them zero hope for the future.
