The big names are in the past because of improvements in forensic and investigation methods. You've seen CSI. The mass shooter phenomena exploded post-Columbine because the Columbine shooters were made into antiheros, basically. Combine that with an unperturbed gun fetishism increasing access to weapons, widespread disillusionment, and the increase in mental illness that our healthcare system hasn't caught up with yet and you have a mass shooter epidemic.
