Do you ever get the feeling that recent stories (across all media) trend more towards sci-fi or fantasy or at least fantastical / supernatural elements than older stories, from 50 years or so ago?
Or in other words, if you go back a certain number of years, do think there's relatively more stories about "mundane" things, I mean like crime stories or just human drama without any time loop or ghosts or so?
Sometimes I get the feeling it might be that way, but I'm not going to make huge lists and categorize every piece of media by whether it has supernatural elements or not. So I'm just asking how other people see it.
