Stone Angel Nightvision

So, what's the inexplicably multiplying image of the 2000s? What do we have that is comparable to the angels of the late 1980s/early 1990s and the dread, portent-freighted "stones" of the 70s, and what if anything do these kind of viral tropes do/mean? I'm voting fornight-vision goggles or night-vision green. . . What do you think? Jordan?
