I think it’s just that we don’t have enough distance yet. Plenty of things only seem iconic in reverse. I’m thinking primarily about music, where often the best-selling music of an era isn’t what it’s remembered for. Plenty of very forgettable chart toppers.

In terms of physical space, technology has become much more pervasive. I’m 2004 did you see everyone in a bar/cafe day reading a device? Internet dating was for losers and now Tinder is huge.
