Which was the worst year pop culturally in the 2010s?

I agree 2017 is the worst. 2016 and 2018 were much better years in every way.

Wow we have opposite opinions lol. IMO 2017 was the most boring 2010s year. I found 2019 2 be lit & fun outta all the 2010s years. I believe 2019 was better than 2010-2018.

2017 and 2018 were kind of boring with 2018 being more boring lol


I agree with either one

all of the 2010s years except 2010 2011 lol


2014 was alright I guess

2016 was when the negative side effects to a smartphone and social media-dominated world really began to show themselves IMO. The rot had set in. Do any of you remember that clown mask fad? The craze where people disguised themselves using clown masks and went around to people's homes during the middle of the night to stab others? Also, 2016 was arguably the first year where the progressive culture of the 2010s started to become toxic. The Ghostbusters reboot was only made to cater for the SJW-crowd who were pandering Hollywood to produce an all-female line-up in a huge Hollywood blockbuster. It's not that i'm opposed to gender equality. However, its quite clear that the movie served no other purpose than to appease a certain community on Twitter and it definitely wouldn't have ever been produced had it not been for far-left people on social media. It didn't sit well with me.

There's a lot to dislike about 2016. Music wise, the only thing I personally liked about it was Green Day's Revolution Radio album, which my friend and I played to death when it came out. The Top-40 at the time was dominated by EDM (which had become very long in the tooth by then) and there was unfortunately little to nothing else on the charts. I can see the appeal in Pokemon Go, however it never took my interest. It was kind of trivial for a short while to see people of all ages brought closer together by a new app that captivated everyone. I can remember thinking at the time that it was a perfect example of people being 'sheep'; that everyone was doing the exact same thing and was participating in something that had little substance. Politics was one huge shamozzle. Here in Australia, we had our fourth Prime Minister in just 3 years, and both sides of politics were seemingly backstabbing each other every few months. Trump was building momentum and politics in general had become very polarised. Deadpool was the only film from 2016 which I outright enjoyed. It was one of the weakest years for cinema of the 2010s. 

All in all, despite it having been a relatively decent year for me personally, I think of 2016 as having been a very toxic and stagnant year for pop culture as a whole.

You saw signs staleness creeping in as early as winter 2014 going into 2015 with blander fashion first making appearances and super soulless hits like uptown funk that sound like corny forgettable tracks that came out in 1999-2000. 

2005 was not boring loll prob the 1 Summer of all time of the 2000s lol, I agree with you that 2015 was very boring. 2015 honestly is the most boring year of the 2010s. TRASH CAN status.
