The difference between now and even twenty years ago is that it's more difficult for anything to stand out in cultural terms, because there's so much choice. This isn't inherently a bad thing, but it does mean that (as far as this genre goes) there isn't really anything that has the cultural impact of, say, a Sesame Street.
