SKIFFLE CINEMATIC UNIVERSE
Feels insane to release four connected movies in the same month at a time when ticket prices are this high. It’s not “bingeable” if you have to pay for each episode!

in terms of music since the 1950s, I'd say there are some genres that were huge but have disappeared from public awareness:
- opera-style mainstream music (Al Martino, Mario Lanza, David Whitfield)
- pre-rock'n'roll childlike novelty songs
- skiffle
- easy listening (not big-voiced crooners)
- opera-style mainstream music (Al Martino, Mario Lanza, David Whitfield)

Said this before, but you could write an interesting book on the books/films/music that were huge in their time but rapidly disappeared from any collective knowledge. Only hardly anyone would read it, because they wouldn't recognise them.
This is undoubtedly true and I think a lot of companies have bet heavily on IP on the mistaken understanding that there are "forever" characters or acts, when they're subject to quite rapid decay.
