I don’t think fear is specific but becomes a generalized fear of things to come. Financial decline, global warming and other concerns sort of meld together. In the 1960s there was a song “eve of destruction” that expressed that generations fear mostly about nuclear war. They also had free love and lacked atomizing technology like we have today so the birth rate didn’t take such a hit.
