Fandoms may come and go but fans are forever, I think. I'm just one of those people who gets really invested in characters I love and can't leave them alone, hence much fanfic ensues. 20 years since I started with all this stuff and I'm still here - the fandoms change, but the need to involve myself in them never does! lol
The advantage of first TV re-runs, then DVD boxsets, and now streaming services is that new folks can always find the old shows that so many people already love. That means those closed canons you talked about never die and I love that. Just so long as the older/original fans can be accepting of new ones, it's all good, though I am aware that's not always the case, unfortunately :(
