I'm curious as to what some of these differences are! :D I only have my own perspective to work from, and only my contemporary experience of fandom (although that said, I've been involved in fandom in some way shape or form for over ten years) [[EDIT: omg no it's been at least 13 years. I am 26 and totally read fanfic on our family's computer in middle school.... jeepers...]] Do you mean mostly differences in writing styles, in subject matter, or in something I haven't even thought of? One of the things I try to do in fandoms across the board is do things beyond the scope of the original media. In MFU's case, because it was so much a product of its time, that means better gender representation, or exploring themes deeper than the show really ever had the intention of providing, or throwing some crazy whalebone of an idea into the mix. But, at least the second one, isn't a generational thing, I don't think? Maybe it is.
I certainly have no real world context for the 60s or what "feels like the 60s" but I agree that the movie is going to have a radically different vibe. Which I really do think will be good; it won't compete or try to be something it doesn't have a dream of being.
What do YOU think will change? What do you see changing already? Is it different from the changes that happened when the internet became the main forum for fandom versus zines?
