My very different impression is that this discussion has gone on for ~8 years now (see e.g. https://www.quantamagazine.org/physicists-debate-future-of-supersymmetry-20121120/ … https://www.quantamagazine.org/physicists-and-philosophers-debate-the-boundaries-of-science-20151216/ … https://www.quantamagazine.org/what-no-new-particles-means-for-physics-20160809/ …) & some high-energy physicists are pursuing new ideas (see @QuantaMagazine) as others change subfields.https://twitter.com/JimBaggott/status/1217011515385139201 …
