Is there any modern equivalent? Do we even have any shared culture anymore or are we all in our own rabbit holes?

TikTok / IG viral posts.

They're not as long lived, but the induct them into conversation.

Skibidi toilet spinoffs are their heritage.

Well the post as I understand it argues the polar opposite. We had rabbit holes completely impenetrable social bubbles. And know everything is mixed and globalised. Probably for the better all in all
