  _Unseriousness_ - people are not keen to talk on serious topics in larger groups (either politics, mental health or other topic).

  _Aging_ - aging seems like a scary thing for a lot of people. They will continue search for looking younger. 
  20-35 years range is where majority of population is trying to visually remain as long as possible.
  
  _Growing conservatism_ on both right and left, and general tendency for even bigger consolidation of right and left.
