2015 was incredibly empty, honestly. Besides the LGBTQ legalization and maybe some of the movies I just can't remember anything substantial about 2015. It's like 2016 with none of the crazy shit going on. 2017 was more bland than 2018. It was super boring all around, besides Trump and the drama surrounding Charlottesville there wasn't much to talk about. Like, at all. Even the games didn't excite me that much, mainly because I personally didn't care for them. The ones I were playing were of the past such as Battlefield 1, Forza Horizon 3 and Black Ops 1/2. Music was the same forgettable trash from before, but even worse due to the new wave of mumble rap. At least 2018 was exciting for gaming with Red Dead Redemption 2 and Forza Horizon 4, and was FAR better for animated movies. 2015 honestly just feels more like a continuation of 2014 with some 2016 vibes IMO. 2016 was just more of a stand-alone year in a way.

How was 2015 a continuation of 2014 lmfao? 2014 still had early 10s influences, 2015 didn't

How was 2015 a continuation of 2014 lmfao? 2014 still had early 10s influences, 2015 didn't so many charting songs in 2015 were released in 2014, for example "Trap Queen" by Fetty Wap, and "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars. These are songs used to define the feeling of 2015, too. What early 10s influences did 2014 have btw? I can't think of any. General consensus is that they were present in 2013 but gone by the time '14 started.

Sure, 2014 had more early 10s things than 2015 but both are strongly mid 2010s years. The music and fashion from both years are almost indistinguishable from one another. A lot of the politics in 2014 really set the tone for 2015+.

"Trap Queen" by Fetty Wap, "No Type" by Rae Sremmurd, "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift, "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, etc. These are songs used to define the feeling of 2015, too. What early 10s influences did 2014 have btw? I can't think of any. General consensus is that they were present in 2013 but gone by the time '14 started. The first half of 2014 had many early 2010s vibes, associations in music, fashion, movies, design, aesthetics, gaming and TV, etc, despite being mid 2010s culturally. Politics is chill, “live and let live” during that time. I remember the early half of 2014 being strongly connected to 2010-2012 and the latter part of 2014 not so much. In the first half of 2014, we are recovering from the Great Recession with gas prices being close to $4. Culture from the early half of 2014 would be out of place in 2016. First half of 2014 is half early 2010s politically, fully early 2010s economically and mid 2010s culturally. 2014 is closer overall to 2012 than 2016. Life in 2014 is mostly more easygoing and laidback compared to 2016. 2013-2014 is culturally mid 2010s, but it is more early 2010s in spirit. 2013-2014 is incomplete mid 2010s, like 60-80%. Many songs from all genres can fit in with the early 2010s. Ariana Grande’s “Break Free,” recorded in 2014, sounds like a 2010 or 2011 song. I think that song charted number 1. Electro-pop has its final hurrah. Streaming is not big and does not overtake cable TV subscriptions, although it is catching on. Seeing some people without smartphones is not weird. DVD holds on. 2013-2014 is maybe the last gasp of physical media or analog technology, even if that is dying since the mid 2000s. Skeuomorphic designs hangs around. Minuscule late 2000s influences linger. Instagram and Snapchat are rising, but they are not as huge as the following year. Playing 7th generation gaming consoles like the PS3 are common, despite the PS4 being out. Facebook is cool. Theaters continue the cheesy 3D glass craze of the early 2010s. Mid 2010s fashion does not fully come into their own until the second half of 2014. 2013-2014 is semi-dated.

I agree that 2014 is more like 2012 than 2016, but in return I would say that it's more like 2015 than 2013.

I can't stand when people say "2016 was dark". Nope, you're talking about 2017 lol. Like, I get that it's technically rooted in 2016, but blaming 2016 for 2017 would be like blaming 2019 for COVID. I actually changed my mind on 2017. That year is now the worst 2010s year imo. You had Trump, peak mumble rap, the Las Vegas shooting, Supreme/hypebeast clothing....just no.

the 2010s in general had an empty feeling, aside from 2010 and 2011
