Allison Arieff called out ‘witness protection modernism’ in a twitter reply the other day - very inline with the Adult Dorm motif. Also funny that you and Hola Papi focused on humiliation themes in the same week.
‘Generica’ is what I like to call these forebearers to this phenomenon you mention; the strip malls of every town now being made up of the TJ Maxxes and Faster Food places, built with same beige stucco and brown triangle or square wall hangings. Comfortable and boring.
This articulated what I've been noticing, but couldn't describe: "Growth, disposability, and lack-of-flavor has turned the city into a bridge and tunnel, instead of the city being a place where people bridge and tunnel into."
