I was thinking about this earlier today. I know many of you know that I personally thought 2013 was one of the most transitional years in this decade so far, but it was also very transitional for me as well. With me leaving elementary and transferring to middle school, and learning about puberty and finally making a YouTube account, making more friends that I still talk to today.
Meanwhile, I personally thought 2014 was one of the worst years for music in this decade so far and my personal life back then wasn’t good as well. It was a very boring year and it was the year my grandfather passed away.
However, 2016 was hands down the absolute worst year of my life. But I still somehow liked the music that was coming out back then. My personal life in 2014 wasn’t as bad as it was in 2016, but I still liked the pop culture that 2016 had to offer.
January-February 2018 has been mostly boring for me so far. February was especially a depressing month for me. And when I went on the thread “2018: The Year In Music” and listened to the songs posted, I didn’t really like most of them. A lot of them were “meh”
Do you think your personal life could affect the way you perceive the current pop culture? And has it ever happened to you?

I kind of thought of that too, 2015 also felt transitional for me also with me going to middle school and my childhood also ending in 2015 when I turned 11. I also disliked 2015,2016 and 2017 improved and was way better than 2015 for me personally and 2018 is fairly good for me. 2014 kind of felt transitional also since I moved and I left my elementary friends also with me moving to another elementary school.

Did the pop culture in 2015 feel somewhat transitional to you as well? I started high school in 2016 and I personally thought 2016 had a bit of a different vibe than 2015. I can’t quite put my finger on it. I think it has to do with the 2016 election and how everyone was talking about it. Not to mention Pokemon GO was very popular in 2016. It was all the rage in the summer of 2016.

Kind of and I do remember the music that came out in 2015 also but i never really cared for pop culture when I was 11 as I was only watching YouTube videos ect also I recorded some stuff from 2015 on my 2DS. For Summer of 2016 I remember the whole Pokemon Go rage that year

I originally considered 2009 to be the year that pretty much ushered in the 2010s, but that's largely because the theme of transition was drilled into my head where I went to school. Not only was 2009 my college preparatory's centennial, resulting in lots of celebrations, it was also the end of our headmaster's 26-year administration, and our school matriculated its first sixth grade class later that autumn. I suppose I was also disproportionately aware of Lady Gaga over everything else in 2009 because she was the first singer in years who fully caught my attention after the crunk/snap craze repelled me from the top 40.
In hindsight, it's easier for me to just say that the 2010s began on time, as even my late high school years are now creeping quite close to retro-worthy as I look back on them today.

I think someone's personal life can have a great effect on how they perceive pop culture and the world around them. But for me, personally, it hasn't influenced my perception of pop culture to a large extent. 2012 was an absolutely horrible year for me. I was picked on during my first year of high school, my Nanna passed away from a stroke and just two weeks later, my Uncle was diagnosed with a brain tumor. However, 2012 still seemed like an Early 2010s cultural year and from a pop culture perspective, I didn't think of it as being too different from 2011. If my personal life did have a significant influence on my perception of pop-culture, it would be in the form of the songs I listened to as a kid. My parents really got into the alternative-rock movement of the '90s, which was popular when they were in their '20s-Early '30s. As a result, I was exposed to a lot of alternative-rock songs throughout my childhood, and my exposure to those songs has had an in-direct influence on my perception of current pop culture. If I hadn't of listened to bands such as Pearl Jam, Garbage and Collective Soul at a young age, it's possible that I could have become interested in genres such as EDM and Trap. I would hate the thought of that!

Only my age really effects the way I see pop culture. Stuff aimed at younger generations I just can't get into all that much and I become increasingly pickier about the types of films and current music I like. For instance silly slapstick comedies I'd crack up over as a teen, but tend to pass up these days.
