There’s a whole recent Canadian documentary on the film-festival circuit exploring what is classic rock.

It does happen in sports, with entitled European soccer fans in the USA. These folks plan their lives around watching a full menu of English/Spanish/German matches at all hours of the day.

Your point is solid; you could’ve also mentioned the cookie cutter mascots, cookie cutter promotions (Star Wars Night, again?), and the cookie cutter stunt food at the concession stand.
