From my experience it all started changing with the end of the cold war, people were relieved that it was finally over and a wide range of people enjoyed the political correctness that concurred from it. Shows like full house and family matters started to explode, disney movies and simplistic neon colors should state that we are moving into a better world full of optimism.
Around the same time Gen x people started to develop and the hippidy-hop rap music from the 80's (accompanied by fresh prince as a frontman of integration of the new culture) was killed off to make room for the highly influentuel gangster rap of the time as well as a darker tone of metal rising. They dominated the market for a while and changed worldwide the interpretation of what is cool and not.

It all started getting more lighthearted when grunge died off due to a headshot, and rap started making more money and its corners got softened by the people producing losing the connections 'to the ghetto' and getting more political correct for their businesses. 'Mmmmbop' was in the air and friends was the hit show. Pastell. Suddenly everything was so shiny and clean. Boy- and girlbands started showing up, cgi was starting to be more and more a thing to make everything even shinier.
It was all shiny but false, like the girls at that time wearing all that shitty makeup, everyone had to be a britney or a tiffany,etc... even the dudes were overstylized with their clothes like in renaissance times (eg limp bizkit).

This imploded around 2003 i feel like, I can't remember how far 911 had influence on that but I feel like it had less to do with it than one would think, at least on a global scale.

btw next era was introduction of iphones, this started to flood the internet with every joe and mary and activated the streamlined web we know today...it was alot more fun before that.
