Meant to post this sooner, but got sidetracked. Kurt Andersen has written an article in Vanity Fair in which the basic premise is that the kinds of changes in popular culture that used to be common seem to have slowed to a crawl. Between 1952 and 1972 the popular taste in music, clothing, movies, etc. changed so much that if you see examples from each of those times the differences are obvious. Same for 1972 to 1992. But 1992 to 2012...not so much. Why? You can read the article here.
