Other explanations could just come down to the structure of our current society.

I can see a clear and quantifiable decrease in my family support structure between childhood and now. Of course that's mostly due death and moving away from home. But my answer would be entirely different if I lived in a multi-generational home or kinship group. Which was the default for about 99.9% of human existence.

Music, fashion, and tastes are a lot more subjective though.
