This, the Romans stopped giving a shit about the empire as a hole, and just worried about themselves.

Also if you asked a typical Roman citizen at the time of theodoric the great, they would have no idea that the WRE "fell". They still considered themselves Romans, still had a senate, trade etc. Contemporary historians picked 476 because of the autistic Romulus augustulus

From my understanding, the Goths lived on the fringes of Roman territory. They wanted to move in, so Valens let some of them. However, they were treated like utter shit so they had no choice but to revolt. Even after they killed Valens, the Goths still wanted to be bros with the Romans.
