Imo , yeah 9/11was a big turning point, but the myth of American exceptionalism and economic dominance globally was relatively unchallenged. Aside from a few 'crying soldier-genre' movies a lot went unchanged. The 90s surplus that permitted opulence had yet to be truly challenged in a meaningful way

The 08 recession + ensuing protests for accountability did more to dispel capitalist myths + lay bare the broken social contract that society had the luxury of ignoring in the 90s under the failed beliefs that it was "the end of history". Class consciousness is a defining departure from the 90s imo
