I had the exact same experience with the Sunday NYT. One the one hand it was the fastest time I've ever had for a Sunday puzzle and yet the theme completely eluded me. In fact I came here knowing you'd have the answer for me. Thanks.

I completed this puzzle and still had no idea what the theme meant. Thanks so much for an illuminating answer.
