It's kind of a side effect of the media turning into nothing but 80s nostalgia 24/7 and politics increasingly being in the hands of 80 somethings that only ever want to look back and talk about the good ol times, or actively want to artificially recreate those good ol times.

Our entire society since about 2010 has turned into almost nothing but look back, nostalgia, remember, and thinking everything new is bad, wrong, evil, and should be shunned for more nostalgia and old IPs forever and ever and ever. Everything on all levels of society is looking at the current year as the downfall timeline and only looking back.

It's like 70 and 80 somethings have just taken over all levels of society from entertainment to politics and they want things to be 1988 really badly right now!
