My guess is that in part technology drastically changed decade by decade until we hit the 2000s where it kind of plateaued. Not that we don’t have cooler tech today than we did in 2003 but it’s not drastically different.
To go along with that is also social media. When everything is shared and seen by everyone all the time, you get more copycats.
It's mostly these IMO.
Now that everyone is socially connected (via the internet and social media), there are no longer cultures of being yourself and being unique. So groups with their own style have given way to everyone sharing everything at all times, and people are becoming more uniform as a whole.
I'm not sure if that makes sense, but it does in my head.

I think this is likely true to an extent. Things that may have been more organically discovered in the past and might move through society slower are now almost instant. I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing. But it's definitely different. With any advances in tech there are positive and negative social outcomes.
