I guess it would just depend on people's own individual experiences. 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. 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 think Trap Queen made the general audience accepting Trap Rap.

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! Yep, and also dont forget the release of Finding Dory in June 2016! Early 2000s nostalgia was really kicking in then.

To be honest, i'm surprised that Early 2000s nostalgia isn't more prominent in the mainstream. I know there's that "2002" song by Anne Marie, but considering the fact that the year 2000 is almost two decades ago, you'd think that Early 2000s nostalgia would be huge at the moment.

Oddly enough, I don't remember "Trap Queen" being a massive hit here. It never received any radio airplay either. Then again, it did only peak at #25 on the ARIA Chart, so that may partially explain why.

Nah but it didn't receive airplay here either but everyone listened to it.

I agree. I think it will definitely become huge at some point; it's basically just a matter of when. I'm interested to see how Mid 2000s nostalgia will play out down the track. There are a lot of defining trends/fads from the Mid 2000s that could experience a revival (e.g the Emo scene, snap-rap), but the Mid 2000s weren't as cohesive of an era as the Early and Late 2000s were. Maybe Mid 2000s nostalgia will be regarded as being an extension of Early 2000s nostalgia instead?

But hey, Mid 2000s nostalgia might bring us some pretty good TV, movies and games....although like you said it would probably get caught up between the the early and late 2000s revivals.

I wouldn't have said this just a month or two ago, but I actually wouldn't mind an Emo revival, especially if it meant that rock music would have more of a presence on the charts!  I've been listening to a few Emo songs lately (just out of nostalgia) and to be honest, some of the songs are really not as bad as what I had thought of them as being. Because Trap is crap, you should know that.  As for listening to "Trap Queen" twice, that's sad, lol. C'mon longaotian, you can listen to better songs than that.

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 now 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 . 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? This may be a long post, so feel free to move it. The first 90s band I was really interested in was Savage Garden, I started to hear their music on radio and began to enjoy it. I found that my mum had their debut album so I played that regularly. That would have been about 4-5 years ago. To be honest, I don't really know how my increased interest for rock music occurred. I began to enjoy the music of Oasis in about 2016, but it was only initially their well known material. This inspired me to check out their other songs, many of which I now enjoy. My enjoyment of Silverchair and Powderfinger has only developed recently (Powderfinger only in the last month or so) especially seeing as i'm starting to hear their lesser played material more on radio. The enjoyment of 2000s rock started mid last year, I think it started when I began watching old music compilations for nostalgia. It was a time when I was beginning to think more about the past. Rediscovering The Reason by Hoobastank and Here Without You by 3 Doors Down in these compilations made me listen to that sort of music. I later rediscovered Shadow Of The Day and What I've Done by Linkin Park as well, which got me interested in their other music. I did find other stuff in recommended videos on YouTube. I would say that posts here have made me check out other music, which i've ended up enjoying and now listen to regularly. I can say for certain, my parents and people from school certainly haven't influenced my tastes. In fact, no one in my year level would probably even know bands like Oasis!

Ah okay, that's interesting to read about! I think it's great that you're right into it now, because like you mentioned, most people around your age don't listen to rock music at all and wouldn't know anything about bands such as Oasis, the Foo Fighters etc. It's a shame really that it is the case, although it's understandable given the circumstances. Rock hasn't been a huge cultural force in the mainstream for almost a decade now. Anyway, by the sounds of it, you've been picking quite a few good bands to listen to. One band which I would highly suggest checking out is System of a Down. I'm not sure how familiar you are with their music, but they're pretty good. They're a Late '90s Nu-Metal band that had quite a few successful hits during the Early-Mid 2000s. You might even recognise a few of their songs actually; "Chop Suey" and "Lonely Day" get a decent amount of airplay on the radio.

Funnily enough, Savage Garden was one of the first few 90s bands I was interested in too! Do you have a particular favourite of theirs? Yeah? Which posts in particular? I bet you have checked out one of SharksFans most favourite talented artist in Billy Ray Ray’s 1992 hit? “No in my year level would probably even know bands like Oasis”. Wow! I would never talk to those ones again...ever! Next you’ll say they haven’t heard of Nickelback!
