I mentioned 'feeling stuck in a time loop' on all of my platforms and results of my tiny survey is that it's very hash-tag relatable. Time loops used to be about getting a chance to perfect life, turn your life around, or a Window of Opportunity if you will. I don't think that is going to work for people as well in the next several years at least. I think immortality and having infinite time is also going to hit different, and be written different.

I think we are going to have the new trope of 'allegory for Pandemic + Trump era but we want to not directly reference it'. AKA, MCU's The Blip. The Snappening might not have started out as a way to set up this allegory, but that's what it's become and it's going to lean into it more and more. Actually the MCU was drifting out of the range of relatability before the snap, so it might have always been intended as a reset of some kind.
I've been trying to think about what other tropes might change a lot in how they are written and how they hit, but time related ones seem the most obvious to me.
