Are planes landing differently nowadays?

I've noticed that in the last 10+ flights I've taken, all of the landings have seemed very fast, with heavy braking. Is this just a coincidence or has something changed in aviation?

Last night I was on a Southwest plane landing at Burbank and I genuinely had a moment of fear as we braked so abruptly and heavily that it seemed like anyone who didn't have their seatbelt on snugly might actually hurt themselves.

Most of my last 10 or flights have been domestic, at smaller airports like Burbank and Albany. I've also landed at Midway, Baltimore, Denver and Las Vegas. I've also been arriving at LAX on giant international planes. (Sorry I don't know what types.)

Maybe this is just a coincidence, but if there's anything more about it to know, please tell me.
