I don't think you're strange for wanting your Golden Age back. People's tastes change over time, and it can be hard to let go of an interest or passion that you loved before. Also, interest tends to go in cycles. Perhaps, in a few years, you'll rediscover something that you liked before. Or maybe not. Whichever it is, try to go with what makes you happy, and read the stuff that you enjoy. Your tastes in entertainment don't have to answer to anyone but you.
With regards to your writing, every author has certain themes they return to again and again. Stephen King writes pretty much only horror and fantasy, Margaret Atwood focuses on the battle of the sexes and the evolution of society. It's how they deal with those ideas that make them worth reading, not whether or not these ideas are original.
