That is the #1 thing that is mentioned every time this topic comes up.

Futurama was always about pop culture references. So much so, there are lists.

Maybe it was just a little more direct this season or most of us are older and we noticed it more.

It’s also the thing about pop culture today, it’s so short lived that media culture can’t keep up.

Good point

During the original run, they were produced on short order and the animation was cheap, so they could keep up to the latest pop culture trends. Now they’re produced almost 9 months to a year in advance with higher-end animation, so they’re out of date by the time they stream. Plus, IIRC, this latest season may have been delayed for some reason.

It was delayed cause Jon DiMaggio (Bender's VO among others) was demanding higher pay for himself and his fellow cast
