A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

"VR in the 80s" is my go to analogy. Sooo many promises, such tantalizing potential.... and zero follow through

I think this is a good way to explain that VR today is no longer just a fad. It's had its hype cycle and disillusionment, and now it's on to the plateau of usefulness.
