Really, it depends on the manner in which the world stopped being shiny. Literally? Figuratively? Grammatically?
As for grammatically, I think that stopped being shiny when they started teaching ebonics as an alternative language in schools. Of course, I suppose a case could be made that American English is a bastardization of the original, so perhaps it started being no longer shiny when we revolted against the British. Also, if txtspeak ever becomes a fully recognized language, I'm moving to outer space. Food for thought.
