1980s: ANALOG

Fixation on hardware. "Videotape", "Robot", and "Cyborg" dominate. The fear of technology replacing humanity (Terminator, Robocop) runs deep in the data.

1990s: APOCALYPSE

Pre-millennial tension. "Conspiracy", "Alien", and "Terrorism" rise. The world became smaller, and the threats became global and existential.

2000s: FRANCHISE

The death of originality. "Sequel", "Remake", and "Based on Novel" choke the top spots. Studios stop taking risks and start managing IP portfolios.

2010s: DYSTOPIA

>> SYSTEM_ERROR: HOPE_NOT_FOUND
"Post-Apocalyptic", "Survival", and "Dystopia". We stopped dreaming of the future and started dreading it.
