I also feel that the economy has something to do with it, I seem to recall the 1970s were replete with the Bermuda Triangle, spontaneous human combustion, ghost ships like the Mary Celeste, Sasquatch, crystal skulls, devil worship, backwards records, astral projection, possessions and exorcisms...

Then when the economy got better people were busy stacking Benjamins and watching Miami Vice and I feel like all this stuff lost popularity.

Now we're back to war, inflation, and uncertainty and we're back to nonsense.
