It’s really only been 30 years, pretty much as soon as the Reagan amnesty happened and we opened the flood gates to immigration in the 90s and the “creative class” economy took over. Moving from the east coast to Texas in the mid 90s was a major cultural adjustment, everything from food/clothes/music/accents to style of home construction, evident religious majority, and specific demographics (eg black people, middle class whites) who had not yet been overtaken by a national monoculture tied to their identity and SES.
All that said, we are in a particularly weird period because the forces that have driven it for the last 7 years, ie housing costs and overall COL and Covid, are exacerbating and transient. The internet and screen addiction isn’t, but I have hope that the ultramaxx super scroll mode or screen consumption will eventually be reeled in and will never be as intensive as it was in the late 2010s culminating in the Covid and post-Covid boomer death spiral purgatory of the last 5 years.
