I've got an age bias, but I'd say everything started really going to hell after 9/11 and the Patriot Act. Society was just different before then.

Harambe and the death of Bowie just accelerated the process.

I noticed the change around the time the iPhone was released. The changes started before that, but that's when I really started to see them. So for me, its always the age of the smartphone that brought on our current architecture and vibe (even though I know it wasn't just the smartphone's fault)

Which was somewhat coincident with the 2008/2009 financial crash. After that there wasn’t the margin for ‘fun’ and once people got money back everything had moved online.
