Thanks everyone for the replies, even the "slightly" off topic ones. Lol. Gave me something good to read this morning.
I definitely agree with the fact that since newer cars are getting better fuel economy, there is less reason to mod. I guess I just miss the old posts where people are still getting their 90s beaters to do insane things. I guess I'm getting old and missing the days gone by.
As for the zoomer opinions, i thing that is 100% location based. Where I live, if you don't have a car, you are a drag on everyone around you. Almost everyone here drives, and it's usually at least a few miles to get to where you need to go, if not 10+.
My youngest brother is in that generation, and was just out wrenching on his 87 Cummins over the weekend. He's a gear head at heart, with 3-4 trucks and 7 three-wheelers from the 1980s.
