Brian,
Whilst agreeing that things are changing as I said, the terrace chants have a knack of reappearing. The canned music is a damned nuisance to us, but the away fans still are very vocal at games where they're concentrated into a relatively small area. And I agree entirely that there's no point in pretending that nothing's changed. I thought that's what I was trying to say.

The carols surprise me. Apparently we don't sing in schools any more like we used to, and nor do we need to go Christmas carolling door to door like we used to as kids. These are some of the other changes, not necessarily down to rapidly expanding technology.
