In light of this crazy 2016 nostalgia flooding our
feeds, I definitely do not feel nostalgic towards that year. Maybe a little bit
but not significant as my nostalgia for 2012. I also hate how most younger Gen
Z and Gen Alpha mistakenly see 2012-2014 pop culture as 2016.
I admit 2012 was moreso a mundane year for most people
but it was such an awesome year to look back. I frequently go to a lot of
parties, social media wasn’t really prevalent, pop-culture was decent, and music
was good (but I mostly prefer 90s and early 00s stuff). It gave birth to songs
that felt like never-ending earworms. Namely, “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae
Jepsen and “Gangnam Style” by Psy. AND People thought it was the last year on
Earth, thus people developing a YOLO mindset.
I really miss everything on that year. I was either on
YouTube or TV for most of my free time.
I still have a very clear memory about 2012. And I almost forgot, that
stupid cup song was everywhere, I even learned how to do it. I feel so
embarrassed sharing this. Hunger Games were fans crazy, I still remember how
famous this was!!! And don’t get me started about Kony 2012.
Aside from my memories of that year, it was also a
great year for our world. I don’t want to make this a research article or
something but this is worth to read.
-The Antarctic hole shrunk
-Teen pregnancy was at an all-time low (something my
country needs today)
-Life expectancy was increasing
And a lot more.
Thanks for reading! I am really happy sharing something personal in my life. :D
