I hear this sentiment echoed a lot in the decadeology sphere but I don't really see this at all. Yes, it was a very changeful year but lots have changed since then such as the profileration of smartphones, modern social media, modern computing, modern music, memes, gaming, etc. Not to mention Trump becoming president, Britain leaving the EU and COVID. I mean the economy was booming in the late 10s if im not mistaken, how the hell are we still in 2008 lol?
Do you agree or not? Why?

Probably because that was the beginning of the smartphone and social media era. However, I'd say 2020 killed the 2008 zeitgeist and buried it, if there was anything still left of it in 2019.

I am pretty sure the general consensus here is the world has changed a ton since 2008.

Smartphones didn't become mainstream until 2011. Myspace took off around 2005. False Myspace took off Q4 of 2004, receipts - I was in High school and watched it happen - It was constantly being mentioned on the radio - Was constantly being mentioned on E! and MTV - Most myspace sign up dates direct to November 2004 - Dane Cook got popular from Myspace in that little span in 2004 - you are googling myspace which says from 2005 it jumped off which is not true ( News Corp bought it in 2005 that is all) - The rise of emo as we knew it and myspace happened at the same time - My school started banning Myspace from their wifi (many other schools did as well, resulting is us having to use Proxy sites like Hide my As*) - the T-mobile stores had a giant "Sidekicks compatible with Myspace sticker in the window" Xmas 2004 - In 2005 it got even more popular, however Late 2004 is when it started becoming a pop culture phenomenon. This is what I mean when I said you are way off sometimes with start dates of trends. As for Smartphones yes they did become mainstream in 2011, 2006 brought us the blackberry pearl and 2007 brought us the iphone. More people had the Blackberry from late 2006 - 2011 then a Iphone.

I Can see why some people would say this. In 2008 smartphones and social media started to become what they are today. Facebook was getting popular. Many popular singers in 2008 are still relevant now in some way (Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, etc). A lot of movies from that year hold up well visually today, and 2008 just seems like the beginning of the current era. However, if you’ve paid attention over the last 13 years, you should notice the difference. The entire 2010s was more changeful than people say
