This is more 2010s but I want to say rage comics, yet we can’t seem to rid the culture of that completely we just rebranded to wojaks or whatever

Computers having hard drives that failed every few years or would break after a drop or bump. SSDs are a godsend for more than just speed.

I haven’t been exposed to shitty reactionary nationalist slop music in a long time, I recall Bush having a weird cult of country and rock songs about how great he was and how America kicks ass or whatever. I know that still exists and Trump has some white “hip hop” sycophants slobbing his knob but I will pretend that doesn’t exist because it doesn’t get the same mainstream exposure.

General shittiness to marginalized groups seems less accepted today (but is making a comeback). Growing up even “socially progressive” figures would make jabs at trans people, gay people, mentally disabled people etc as punchlines. I hear that bigoted garbage more now than a few years ago but still far less common than during the aughts
