What killed fixed gear?

fixie is way above lfgss on that graph. maybe lufgss is dead

I thought the pun was a bit strained to be honest. And actually it's norbornane (this is the level of pedantry I've been reduced to)

No way, he helped build the scene

For sure. Fashion moved on, but it goes in spiral, so might come back soon. (not like I care a lot)
I've been commuting on fixed gear bike with brakkless installed for at least last 10 years and it's the best bike for the city imo. And my knees are doing absolutely fine.

And another vote for Foffa.

Is there also a linguistic explanation--eg a decline in the usage of the word 'fixie'?

I think we need to bring up names. The once 'big on the scene' who have given up on fixies. List.

I am titled now, how much more entitled could I feel?

'Fixie' and 'fixed gear' seem two different things. One a mode of transport, the other a trend/fad dying between the time Tokyo Fixed became Kinoko and people started building cross/gravel bikes.

We all got too old and affluent.

You’re not the only one Dom, Poppy, SuperTed, T4, Hoops. The whole region is a fixie retirement village.

You forgot Spatr

possibly this!?

80% of the people I knew who rode fixed were uni students, so they've all grown up and got jobs now where they live outside of the city and commute in via car, train etc.

Maybe we're waiting for a new wave?
