We are now approaching 2020. What are things that should only be kept in the 2010s. Here is my list:
The “eyebrows”.
The Snapchat/Instagram makeup.
Edgy dank meme culture
Mumble rap
SJW/Alt-Right
Buzzfeed

* Trap/mumble rap. * Strong political divide * Lone-wolf extremists * SJW culture 80s nostalgia (the 80s are almost 40 years old) '80s nostalgia is showing no end in sight. I saw a trailer for the newest Jumanji movie on TV a few days ago which had "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne (a song released in 1980) featured in it and in June next year, Wonder Woman 1984 and Top Gun: Maverick are set to be released. Stranger Things is still one of the biggest shows on television. My local radio stations continue to play '80s songs alongside songs released from the '90s to now. I honestly think '80s nostalgia will still be a thing in the mainstream in another 10-15 years from now.

Everybody seems to be all about leaving behind SJWs. As far as I can tell, that faded out in 2017, if they ever existed outside of tumblr at all.
Although in fairness to the thread, a few more things that should die with the decade:
Microtransactions in games
REBOOTS IN HOLLYWOOD
The alt-right
Konami
New Star Wars movies

The obsession that Australian television has with dating, relationship and wedding-themed programs - particularly those which have aired on the commercial networks - is something I hope will die out in the next couple of years.
Married At First Sight was basically the most popular show in the country for a couple of months and somehow morphed into a cultural phenomenon which is incredibly rare for a program on terrestrial TV in this day and age. It seemed that almost everyone was talking about it: Newspapers, magazines, social media, FM radio, Gogglebox just to name a few. From what I recall, it peaked towards the end with nearly two million viewers in metropolitan Australia tuning into see women pouring wine on each others dresses or something like that - I didn't get the appeal in it then and I still don't get it now.
The Bachelor/ette, basically a vehicle for the main stars to boost their media profiles.
Love Island, a bunch of bimbos and himbos on the quest for social media fame.
To be fair, the public broadcasters at least had Love On The Spectrum and Love Me As I Am. While neither were completely without flaws, for the most part they were high quality programs and the type of dating/relationship shows (even if you were to remove the focus on people with neurological disabilities, which is probably too niche for a mainstream audience) that should be airing on Australian commercial TV IMO. But unfortunately, the ratings seemed to indicate that most viewers would rather watch manufactured drama and if I'm being honest, it wouldn't overly surprise me if the 2020 series of Married At First Sight makes this year's ABC/SBS offerings look like Play School in comparison.

I hate to break it to you, but these are global phenomena. American television has the exact same obsession, although we make it worse by tacking on home improvement shows.

Yeah, renovation/home improvement "reality" (cooking before that) was a major trend here in Australia for a few years too - The Block & House Rules probably being the most successful shows in that genre. I'm not aware of any dating/relationship/wedding format having an element of renovation/home improvement, but perhaps that might happen at some point in the future!

Ok, but there's no need to be so dismissive. I was just trying to start a conversation with you and explain why I think '80s nostalgia is likely to continue over the next few years.
