Why does noir seem to appeal to a limited audience today, instead of enjoying a wider following? The Neo-Noir '90S

After reading the article on "Film Noir," I agree with the notion that in todays world - 'Hollywood,' this kind of films would best be appreciated by someone who has a clearer understanding and appreciation for this kind of art.  From my understanding, "Film Noir," was born after the war of World War II, in the time where people looked forward, as the article states, as with "peace and prosperity."  A contrast that I found interesting is that "Film Noir," is described to us by the article as being with "dark and troubling fantasies of a dangerous, corrupt new world, where the lines between good and evil got crossed."  So then, when did this type of noir develop during a time of peace and prosperity?  And as far as women's statuses back then, where few to no rights for women existed, did women be portrayed on noirs as the article states, "ambiguous, sexy and treacherous?"   I think that in today's time, if you were to ask a teenager if they prefer to watch a film noir, or a horror flick, they more than likely not pick the noir.  I guess cause this type of film is outdated.  Lastly, back in the times after the World War II, these film noirs were considered to be great budget films, but unlike the times we live in now, these kind of film can only exist as low-budget movies.  Of course these films back in the 40's and 50's were great blockbusters, it only makes sense with all the new technology that has come out, for instance 3-D movies, that these noirs will eventually become extinct.  For me, technology should keep going forward, instead of trying to be stuck in it.  Sure it's great to preserve it, for the people that still enjoy it, but I feel that the reality is, that its died out.
