The 2010s had very few things going for it culturally. Some good video games, a good movie here and there. Frutiger Aero? That was kinda cool right? But overall? The 2010s sucked. I was an angsty teen in most of the 2010s, and so naturally I have a bias against that time period. I hated the fashion choices, the uggs, the white woman fallcore aesthetic, curly moustaches, gross. The pop music? Wack. Awful. Mumford and sons were a poison on this earth. Imagine dragon? Eeessshhh. It's like the one decade the Mormons ate good in lol.

Early 2000s nostalgia is peak. Bring scene back!

I bet there's a weird millennial out there who is nostalgic for Trump's first term but doesn't like his second for some reason.

it's the decade of the great recession almost no place on earth

Not to take away from your main point, but the 07-08 recession was more of a western phenomena. China was relatively insulated from it along with plenty of other countries.

this is a psyop post to expose posters who are gen-z

Imagine when the 20/30 year nostalgia cycle hits the fucking MCU movies lol

People are nostalgic for what they enjoyed, I don't think any of us who think fondly on the 2010s are wistfully thinking of the failures. Moments are what I appreciate

Every decade since the dissolution of the Soviet Union has sucked ass

People (myself included) are just nostalgic for it because it’s the time they were old enough to solidly remember but not old enough to understand how fucked everything is

Hey young people, here's why you're not allowed to enjoy your childhood!

Is the decade of Ubisoft type of games, Activision-Blizzard releasing worst and worst CoDs, every game need to be for every person on earth with the worst holding hands possible, every major game company sequel is a dumb down, less creative version of their predecessor.

I have some personal reason to be nostalgic for the early 2010s. Besides those, the main thing I liked about that time was that not everyone owned a smartphone yet, so not every single thing was behind a smartphone app. The pop culture of that time isn't something I ever really go back to. Just as an example, Iron Man 2 came out in 2010 and it's an absolutely awful time capsule of Obama-era liberalism.

Did you read If We Burn? It was a great retrospective on the 2010s protest movements and how they failed, were coopted, or turned into tragedies. Turns out that leaderless horizonslism doesn't work - if you don't pick your leaders they will pick themselves.

60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, early 2000's, all had a vibe, it wasn't until you hit like 2009 did things start to become grey and dull, the "minimalist" aesthetic

the 2010's were a terrible decade for Sonic the Hedgehog, so I agree.

TBH 2000-2010 of my life was awesome, no amount of bullying me in highschool for my accent can take this away from me.

2010-2020 honestly sucked.

I cherish that point in my life, even as the safety bolts were coming loose in the world

CW: misogyny

Ah yes, the decade where the most popular word on the internet was femin*zi and the most popular games were US army recruitment ads. What a wholesome time.

let me zoomer out and be nostalgic for mid 2010's beach pop, its all i have

okay all of this is true but class of 09 was such a vibe

Correct, because the 2000s is the only decade worth being nostalgic for *Basshunter intensifies*

I WAS LIKE 8 LET ME HAVE THIS! I MISS MY DS
