On the other it's the first year that is purely 2010s with the whole hipster-meme-challenge-super thight clothes culture with almost no trace of the previous transitional era, so at least it has that going for it. Not to get into a decadeology debate, but i'm not sure if I would personally agree with that. I've always been of the opinion that 2013 was the first "purely 2010s" year and I can remember actually thinking that at the time. Selfies and #hashtags rose to prominence in March-April of that year, smartphones had become the dominant form of phones and music had removed itself from the styles and aesthetics of the 2000s (some of which was still lingering around between 2010-2012). 2013 may have had significant ties to the "electropop era", but on the other hand, 2010s culture had well and truly established itself by that time as well. Hashtags were already making headlines with the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street in 2011. I also remember there was #yolo in early 2012.

I only started to become aware of the 'social media' hashtags around the same time that selfies became popular, to be honest. I don't remember them ever being a thing (at least in the social media sense) before that.

I don't remember them ever being a thing (at least in the social media sense) before that. Even NYT did a report of Hashtags in 2011. I used Twitter back in 2011 and there were lot of hashtags. www.nytimes.com/2011/06/12/fashion/hashtags-a-new-way-for-tweets-cultural-studies.html Another thing I want point out is that songs from 2013 like Mirrors by Justin Timberlake sounds almost identical to Cry Me a River and What Goes Around so I think 2013 was the last year that has tiny influence of the 00s music but minimal at best. Don’t get me wrong, 2013 is musically very 2010s, it’s been like that since 2011 but some songs from 2013 won’t sound out of place in the 2000s. Plus, shaggy hair in my school was more popular than Fade from what I remember in 2013. 2014 was the first year to be completely removed from the 00s. I apologize if it sounds like decadeology but that’s just my opinion.

2014 was a fun year. I remember it more fondly than when I was actually live through it, though. My 2014 journal makes for some sad reading.  I bought books on meditation and self-help, I was desperate lmao

Well the dystopian future young adult movie fad was still in full swing in 2014 and I think that contributed to the perception of the era being dark.
