The late '90s and early 2000s obsession with angels

This weekend, I was listening to the radio, and a Dido song from her album "No Angel" came on. It led me down a rabbit hole, which led me to realize: the late '90s and early 2000s were obsessed with angels.

Just a few that popped up in pop culture:

Brandy's Angel of Mine

Sarah MacLachlan's Angel

Robbie Williams' Angels

Train's Calling All Angels

U2's If God Will Send His Angels

City of Angels

Charlie's Angels

Teen Angel

Angel in Buffy

Angel spin-off

Angels & Demons

And don't forget the character angels, like Michael, Meet Joe Black, everyone in Dogma, and, of course, Jenna Elfman in Can't Hardly Wait.

Meanwhile, I can't think of a single angel from the last 10 years. What was it about the '90s and early 2000s that made pop culture so obsessed with angels??
