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
