It might sound crazy, but early pandemic nostalgia is an actual thing now. I even searched the term up on Google and it popped up lol. While I'll never be fond of the March-May 2020 period (pretty much the period of the early pandemic nostalgia before BLM became massively popular again following George Floyd's murder), here are some of the pop culture stuff that define this era: - Celebrities telling people to stay home in their mansions and companies using insincere "In these challenging times..." messages
- Tiger King
- The Weeknd, Doja Cat, and Dua Lipa were some of the most popular artists during this time, especially through TikTok memes
- Oh, yeah, that being said, there was the pure dominance of TikTok since everyone was stuck at home
- People wearing masks wrongly (worn without covering their noses or wearing it just on their chins)
- Mask mandates, lockdowns, anti-lockdown protests, "Stay 6 feet apart", "Social distancing", "Flattening the curve", etc.
- The Zoom app and Zoom-bombing
- Streaming services (Disney+, Hulu, Prime Video, and Netflix) being used more frequently (obviously)
- Dalgona coffee and cottagecore
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Doom Eternal
- People clapping from their homes for nurses and other medical professionals
- Toilet paper shortage, panic buying (in general), and limits on other disinfectant products
That's all I got right now. What do you think about this era we just left?

Weird to include doja, the weekend and Dua on this because they're still popular, i think it would more sense to be Nostalgic towards their songs instead... Like Say So and Don't Start Noe

also - the “savage” dance trend on tiktok based on the song Savage by Megan Thee Stallion - “wash your hands for 20 seconds” - videos of people clapping and cheering for essential workers - viral videos of people all over the world playing music from their balconies - saying “coronavirus”, “corona”, “rona”, etc. - the viral video of Cardi B saying “coronavirus” very hysterically - thinking that the pandemic would be over by the summer - and increase in streaming for movies like “Contagion” and “Outbreak” - working out at home

Like Say So and Don't Start Noe Say so was really popular when the pandemic started. It only released slightly before the worldwide pandemic in late February. Don't Start Now was indeed popular in late 2019 and early 2020 before the pandemic though.

2020 is soon going to be looked back on as an "underrated" year despite everyone hating it at the time. The same thing happened with 2008 and 2016.

That's such a bad comparison There weren't pandemics in 2008 and 2016 ffs, 2020 is NEVER going to be romanticized. Same reason the majority of the 1930s & 1940s aren't romanticized

Back in 2016 you'd say "trump wasn't in the white house, 2016 is NEVER going to be romanticized". But it happened and now it's arguably the most popular year of the decade. When something worse happens people will be nostalgic for 2020.

Lol is anyone gonna look be fondly on this? I sure as hell won’t In 5-10 years probably. The more distant you are from the past, the more likely you'll grow more fondly of it (this doesn't apply to everyone, though).

Check the comment section in this video
And btw, this song really takes me back to early quarentine, even thought i never listened to it until now, but i remember people talking about it a lot back then and that was enough for me to associate it with the times
And yes, it seems weirdly comfy and nostalgic

I am nostalgic for early 2020 but it has nothing to do with the pandemic or pop culture (though pop culture was good and mandates weren't as extreme yet). It's because my personal life was really good then. Everything went downhill in my life in June of 2020.
