The period when we started growing apart I’d say was in the late 80s and early 90s. Kolel was a strong force on the klal, bochurim brought back toras eretz yisroel with them. Yeshivos such as my own switched to white shirts…that was incremental. The divide between non MO and MO grew vastly during this time. I’m in my early 30s; i grew up in the 90s. Kids my age were being told not to go to little Harry’s house, because we(myself included) were not a good influence on yeshivishe children.
