Its happened before. If you look look at fashion in 1885 and then in 1910 there isn't a big difference. There was a cultural stagnation during the Victorian age that lasted until WW1. The war changed everything and we got the Roaring twenties.

Queen Victoria's reign covers multiple different American periods. Periods which also vary regionally.
Victorian gives you a more general term to align to.

Gilded Age is widely used.

Well the Gilded era was something else. It was characterized by the opulence and corruption of the American Aristocracy and is usually pegged beginning around the time Grant became president. It ends with the Great Depression.

You know, I thought about this recently though specifically about cars. Let's take a time frame of 30 years.

Imagine a parking lot full of 70's cars, and there's a single 30-year old car in the middle of them. That car would be from the 40's, and it would stick out like a sore thumb. It would look so different from everything else around it.

Now imagine a modern parking full of 2020's-era cars, and in the middle you have a mid-90's car. It would blend right in. Probably no one would even notice it's an older car.

same 30 year difference

because it did. this is it , from that point the decline will start and our civilization has been going down. in like 50 years we are done for and a new major superpower will come on top. people really still don't know how civilizations work, their climb up and downfall. it is the same every single time. look at rome, mongolia, Greece, inkas, Egypt, UK ,... when you start to have massive degeneracy, fake money , no morals, multiculturalism ,...tat means you will have around 20-70 years left. and then bye bye

I would say it became cemented in 2015 because technology completely stagnated in 2015.

Western society has stagnated and regurgitated itself since the 1970s.
year 1975 was the peak of western industrial society it's been all downhill and a simulacrum (<--which the post-1990s growth of the internet has accentuated and empowered) since then

I'm an oldfag, and this is true. You young guys never really saw America when it was a real nation, but it actually used to be one.
