Spatch... it's just generational dynamics at work. See Strauss and Howe, "The Fourth Turning". The gen-X nomads have moved on, the millenials that came after them are starting to do theiri thing, and now we're finally getting into the next post-millenial generation as the nomads go off to die in wars, as they always do. The nomads are ignored, the next generation is lavished and loved as a hero (see the Silents).
