They used to be all the rage in like the 50's or whatever (PO please confirm), but now no one is eating or making them except for fringe culinary Facebook groups largely populated by millennial lesbians. Let's bring aspics back!

It was popular because gelatin was considered a rich person food for a long, long time considering just how hard it is to get it. Then as gelatin was mass produced, everyday people could buy it. But it still had the associate with rich people, but regular people could make it.

So what did you do with jello? You just shoved stuff in it, eating it plain is fine, but not a meal, and you gotta make a meal for your family.

Pretty much. Its ready availability was exciting and novel, so people took full advantage of it. Then the novelty wore off and people realized that shoving ordinary food into jello was a bunch of extra work for very little gain, particularly where they were so common that you really weren't setting yourself apart from your neighbours by putting together a showy jelly presentation, so they stopped bothering and now everyone just thinks it was weird to make jelly everything. Aspics specifically still show up periodically (they're officially the topping of choice on canape, though that's not something most people ever bother with and they tend to branch out from the "classical" format if they do), but jelly salads and the like are really only done by somebody looking to make something weird-looking.
