You ain't real Gen Z if you don't like or didn't like 2016's music. Only real Gen Zers actually liked the pop culture. This!!

I know this sounds kind of silly in retrospect, but 2016 was the first year where I felt as though pop culture was gearing more towards an age group younger than myself. Not that it really matters anyway, because even if I had felt as though I was in the core target audience for pop culture at the time, 2016 was still a pretty crap year for it in any case. I would even go as far as saying that 2016 was the worst year for music since the Early '60s.

That's weird because I felt all the EDM was targetting people my age, the people who do hard drugs at the nightclub or vacation in Europe to discover themselves and for Instagram photos. The indie rock/pop in 2016 too. Twenty One Pilots and Mumford & Sons are the most millennial thing to grace this planet.

For instance, I was in High School at the time and I can remember noticing that artists such as Ariana Grande, Hailee Steinfeld and The Weeknd were a lot more popular with people around rainbow's age than they were with people from my year group. The Classes of 2019-2021 at my High School also heavily embraced Trap music, which wasn't even around during the years prior to 2016.

I don’t miss 2016 at all personally. In terms of school, the first half was really stressful for me as I had some personality clashes with quite a few students over matters which looking back, were actually quite trivial. I resolved these clashes quite easily, however I still don’t think of some of these students in the same positive light that others seem to. The second half was a happier time, but I feel as though I tried hard to be ‘edgy’  . Now, I believe that many other students are like this. Oh, and late 2016 always reminds me of trying to avoid Closer by The Chainsmokers which was close to unavoidable! 2018 was the best year for me personally since 2014. My interest in rock music started to rapidly increase, it feels good being different to everyone else in terms of music taste. I also get my second end-of-year Academic award, which was what I was aiming to achieve for the whole year. That was not meant to a boast by the way, it was just context .

2016 wasn't the best year for me. It was pretty bland in all honesty, and, my friendship group at the time was all over the place...

Thanks for sharing what the year was like for you.  Yeah, in regards to how overplayed "Closer" was, you're not wrong! I was so sick of hearing that song on the radio and in high school by the end of the year. Just out of curiosity, how did you become more interested in rock music?

I loved 2016! I had my first kiss, got a boyfriend & went on a weekly vacation to Miami. I remember seeing everybody play pokemon go on their smartphones. I was the one who suggested my boyfriend & I play it together on the beach. If I could travel back I definitely would.

I remember there was a brief period in 2016 where it felt like the Early 2000s had experienced a sudden revival in the mainstream. Pokemon Go', the Tarzan remake, Blink-182's "Bored to Death" and The Chainsmokers' "Closer" (which has the lyric, "listen to that Blink-182 song") all were popular/released around the exact same time!

Trap was actually around throughout the whole 2010s at least here in the states. Early 10s trap is very different from today's trap but still trap nonetheless, the mid 10s started the mumble rap phase, and the late 10s is the SoundCloud rap era. Trap music was always a thing where I live being that I live in southern United States and in the Black Community. It's new elsewhere but Trap music actually existed since the early 2000s but it wasn't till the mid 10s that it appealed to a general audience.

I personally don't remember Trap becoming popular here until about Late 2016, which was when "Black Beatles" and "Panda" were hits.
