I'll tell you when - around 2007-2008. I used to work as an event photographer and that's when we started seeing the mean-spirited bachelorette parties start taking over bars. Shortly thereafter, and for sure by 2012 when the economy started recovering, we saw the rise of the bachelorette-industrial complex, and the same people who invented "Nashville" hot chicken started peddling the Nashville pedal wagons to attention-starved bachelorettes whose best friend just did a Las Vegas bachelorette party so OMG they had to do something different. Except it's the same.
Similarly, the "destination wedding" didn't exist on anything resembling the current scale pre-social media. Nobody saw your wedding photos in the past. Now you'll see women spread the posting of their wedding photos out over several photo dumps to arouse maximum jealousy.

In all honesty, sounds like you have a complex. I'm not sure about you, but I certainly wouldn't spend my time talking so much about a place that I had disdain for.
