I keep thinking about how it's a movement that draws on aesthetics, celebrity, and TV logic for its appeal, and eventually they will simply go out of style, like all hot TV shows and celebrities eventually do once they've been cultural hegemons for long enough

On the other hand...there were still many, many people in the USSR who saw the Communist Party as vital, fresh, and new in 1938, 10 years after Stalin came to power in 1928 and two decades after the formation of the Soviet system. They committed the Great Purge because of it.
