The late 10s in general(and especially 2019) will probably reach Y2K levels of nostalgia in the future. Not that I will be nostalgic for them but there were lots of big iconic monoculture events like avengers and fortnite and it was definitely a calm before the storm era.
The writing was on the wall...

Idk who said it first, but someone referred to 2019 as "the fake early 2020's" and now that I think about it, it's actually quite an accurate description.
When you think about it, 2019 was really the first year that set up a lot of the early 2020's pop cultural aspects that we know of today. It was the year TikTok started gaining attraction (although it got more hate back then), it was the year we saw artists like Lil Nas X and Billie Eilish dominating the charts, we saw a rapid increase in Airpods, the E-Girl/E-Boy trend caught on (This may have started in 2018 but I remember seeing it more in 2019.) Trump was still president, and most people were 100% sure he was gonna win again. When 2019 was happening, this is what we thought early 2020's culture would be like. And for the most part, we were right.
But then COVID happened, and that drastically shifted the results of the 2020 election, leading Biden to be president. TikTok is now beloved even among older millennials and people who aren't Gen Z. Lil Nas X is arguably even more popular now than he was in 2019. Billie Eilish isn't dominating the charts as much as she used to back in 2019. Olivia Rodrigo has sorta taken her spot. And other artists around her age are starting to take her throne and dominate the charts. I mean, "abcdefu" was literally made by an artist born in June 2004. Who knows, Gayle might end up being a huge early 2020's artist. Most people still wear Airpods too.
This isn't to say that 2019 is completely different from today. I still don't believe that, but it did, in a sense, feel like a "fake" early 2020's year.

I believe I am one of the first people ( having made a thread in spring 2019) proclaiming things are being set up for the next 3 years. Looks like I was right. These changes would most likely still be prevalent had covid not happened.
