The last 15+ years, especially, have no unified themes of musical movements, the only movement in film I can think of in that time is big franchises over many wholly separate works, etc. Will we ever see a time where fantasy stories aren't being told with actors on sets for a visual medium? I don't think we will, even when they peak and then fall off. They won't go away like things used to. late 90's and early 2000's fashion and music has had a comeback recently, but they never went away in the meantime. The Alt stations still played Nirvana and Slipknot in between whatever was new, throughout that time. People are putting songs on the radio with samples from songs older than their parents, right now. People are buying new Kia's with manual window cranks. The people I sell 90's Japanese import parts to every day are mostly so young they were born after I graduated high school. The older ones can drink, barely. Things don't die, anymore, and it's just going to get worse.</blockquote>
