True car people are becoming a thing of the past

I am from australia and the scene died out way before Covid, one of our main streets in melbourne every sat night would be bumper to bumper, muscle and serious rice burners all doing laps. Now its tumble weeds blowing down it. Goverment killed it but also just the scene turning on each other killed it as well.
Plenty young guys into cars just different scene, chrome bumpers becoming a bit of a boomer scene. Jesus on a duster fb page i see people saying 73+ is rubbish 71 and 71 only real duster. They think stock look with cragars the only way to do it. I posted a pic of my wheels and told they shouldnt be on a duster bla bla.
So you will find lot of the older guys turn younger guys off the scene.
I have a 1998 ss holden ute,, 355 stroker and new paint. When i park up with my chrome bumper mates people take more pics of that than the old cars, as relate to it as they grew up with them. The scene is shifting, put a tune and few mods in a golf and have 400+ hp. Chrome bumpers are ridiculously expensive so becoming unafordable.
