In 2023, not really. Most places that people call dives or dive-y have elements of that definition but they ultimately aren't really dives. It became hip and stylish to be sort of a dive bar over the last 20 years. Now, it's more of a chosen aesthetic that places have.

yeah, i'd give em that title. they far predate the more modern era where anything that isn't a super fancy place gets called a dive
