My friend was comparing it against the 50s-90s when mass media was adopted, the vast majority then was consuming the same media and thus the cultures of each decade had distinct separate characteristics.
But since the aughts we're back to before those times, we we've sort of made media so massive that there's all these little niche pockets you can find endless content in creating a bunch of separate co-existing cultures each with their own individual characteristics existing simultaneously.
Like we went all the way back around to before there was a mainstream by creating so many different niches of media and understandings.
