No new boy bands...no new Britney Spears...it's the same acts that ave been around for a decade still closing at all the major events. Lady GaGa...Justin Timberlake...really----------------------------------- Go back 10 years from today and Lady GaGa hadn't released an album yet. She's not exactly a dinosaur. By definition, to become the kind of established act that closes a major event, you need to have been around a while.
That said, Adele, Bruno Mars, Bieber, Drake, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift... There are plenty of big stars that have either sprung up in the last decade or only really sealed their global fame in the last ten years.
As far as big actors... Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence are genuinely big movie stars.
Media franchises... Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, Fifty Shades are phenomena of the last decade.
Franchises that are younger than the 1982-1984 window you mentioned: Fast & Furious, Pokemon, Toy Story, Saw, Jurassic Park, The Matrix, Tomb Raider, HALO.
Shows making stars: ever heard of One Direction? They've a lot bigger than Ruben Studdard ever was. Camila Cabello is pretty big these days too.
Hot books in recent years: the Da Vinci Code isn't new, but it's post-millenial. Ditto The Kite Runner. The Gruffalo has become a phenomenon in recent years. Back in franchise land there's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and its sequels and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The Help. And of course, the aforementioned Fifty Shades.
A big emergence has been the young adult franchises. Twilight. Divergent. Eragon. I won't say they are good, but they are relatively new and very popular.
There's plenty of new stuff.
