We are kinda floating around in terms of a movement right now. The world is too big and diverse to define something these days. There's a push with a lot of the younger generation in Assemblage/Found Object Art. New Media Art has been on the verge of becoming something that has legs, but hasn't quite got off the ground yet in being legit "art". Bigger and bigger seems to be better. I feel like the 80's explored a lot of new ideas in Pop and Abstraction, pushed some significant boundaries on sexuality, defined some new mediums like Graffiti as Art, and pushed conceptualism and anti-art in a lot of ways. I see a lot of rehashed ideas these days... some are very clever, but rarely push things ahead.

there is no name, because there is no art today

Stuckism is still alive and thriving, and it feeds off the very dilemma described in the original post. It just hasn't been widely acknowledged as being more than a cultish collective so far.

There have been movements up until now... so is there any need or reason for them to exist moving forward? Are Art Movements becoming a thing of the past or will museums, galleries, influencers get nervous and begin to "tag" existing and future works into buckets (for the sake of tradition)?

My favorite art movement is when my work moves out of the gallery and moves into someone's home.

When there is a movement in only one direction art is stifled stylistically.
It's perfectly fine for there to be no unidirectional movement, as long as there is movement to explore, improve and create objects and experiences that challenge people to think. I'm not talking of schlock like the 'Rape Tunnel' hoax, but real, deep and visceral art that forces people to think about the human condition.
Each artist should find their own voice and respond to it in a way that doesn't necessarily follow anyone else.
