My husband and I always have enjoyed 20th century minutiae, also. Melissa Kirsch points out that NY Times Crossword puzzles now regularly include modern slang, internet speak, references to memes and films that weren’t shot on celluloid, etc. In your effort to be more inclusive of the younger generation, you have now excluded many of us in the Boomer generation. I'm disappointed. I appreciate a reasonable challenge, but I am not going to do a deep dive into Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. just to be able to work your Crossword. We have been told to "exercise our brains" by doing the Crossword, and we used to enjoy the NY Times Crossword. But no more. You have effectively excluded us. We are saddened and disappointed.
