When some group, or citizens of a country, or people in a large "class" goes through culturally-significant events, it is perfectly reasonable for conversation to be pulled in that directly for some amount of time. My experience is that this place will always adjust itself back to it's core topic.

Side note: I've noticed these topics tend to burn out quickly because the post and the posters are getting tons of down votes and, due to the "algorithm" (dang), being slowly pushed away from the top. Speaking of: Moderating is often a thankless job, so thank you.
