The Golden Age of Apocalypse refers to a period in the late 20th century and early 21st century characterized by a surge in apocalyptic themes in popular culture. This era saw a rise in films, books, and video games that explored scenarios of global catastrophe, often featuring themes of survival and societal collapse. Notable examples include the Mad Max film series and the Fallout video game franchise, which depict dystopian futures following catastrophic events. During this time, the fascination with the end of the world was fueled by real-world concerns such as climate change, nuclear threats, and pandemics. These anxieties were reflected in media, leading to a cultural phenomenon where audiences engaged with narratives about the apocalypse. This period also sparked discussions about humanity's resilience and the moral dilemmas faced in extreme situations.
