For the sake of avoiding sweeping generalisations, the RP crowd is exactly the same now as it was "back then", ERP and cybering included. The only difference is that RP as a hobby is now bigger, and therefore finding whatever you're interested in through random chance is statistically less likely.
Bear in mind that where you're looking for RP is just as important as what kind of RP you're looking for. Join an FC, or read some people's IC posts and reach out to them OOCly if they interest you. It's easy to wallflower around RP hubs and shake one's walking stick at all those damn kids who seem to be having so much fun, but what you're looking for is really not as out of reach as it may seem to be.
