Whether it was literal belief in Satan in the 1980s, the “soccer mom” debates of the 1990s, or Paris Hilton’s antics in the 00s, the 1980s-00s were an age of moral panics. What happened to all that?

No, not really. Cancel culture is an aggressive form of cultural boundary policing which is a separate phenomenon from moral panics.

It's a moral panic by those who believe in the new, secular woke religion.
A moral panic is speculation about what people do in secret.
