So videoconference calls are modern seances ("Is anyone there?", "Can you hear me?"...), you tweet of the Devil and He doth retweets, ...
... we've managed to turn magic and superstition into reality, just not in a way we expected.

Or, and this might be something to consider: this restructuring of of culture into groups of "good and bad culture" is something that happens each generation. Like the hippies against the old ideals, the 80 kids/punkers against the hippies, the smooth millennials against the 80-kids. Every generation did their own thing. We are getting old and do not subscribe to the new future. We are losing our childhood loves. They will disappear into the fold of history. Just like we will.

Historically, culture wasn't so quick to change. Typically, parents would be able to pass down their culture and traditions to children, instead of having society foist an entirely new culture onto their kids that's incompatible with what the parent grew up with.

This happened too many times in history to even name. I could sum some recent examples if you want. Do you want that?

Or as Shakespeare put it, "The Hell is empty and all the devils are here."

Of course, in practice, the demons are regular people with stones in their hands ...
