Because 70-90's are over.
It's like asking why zoomers who were so much into retro 90's completely missed on campy atmosphere of stuff they imitated. They're dead serious.
Zoomers grew in the post 2008 world and love big corporations.
They despite non-mainstream, and any subculture got merged into an aesthetic based on buying aesthetic items.
Any creative endeavours were killed by ai.
Computers are phones or big-tech well paid jobs at fagman.
Japanese-wave spiritual stuff was replaced with easily accessible westernised anime and k-pop.
Open-mindness of irc was replaced with sticking to people they know from early age. When was the last time you did talk to a stranger from another country?
Rebellion was replaced with "politics".
Hackers and 4chan were kind of left wing Kind of like hippies before hippies got pulled back into society by their rich parents. And completely incompatible with non-western values.
Idk if there's anything to miss at this point.
