I remember during this time you would see plenty of conspiracy theorists everywhere on the streets and on YouTube, fearing the end of the world was coming the closer we got to 2012 because allegedly the Mayan calendar ended there ? Anyone remember that.
It can got turned into a hit movie in 2009, that’s how marketable the fear was that we were now entering the 2010s

Oh it definitely was a big part of pop culture, many electropop hits at the time had a "the world is ending, so let's dance it off" music video vibe in fact.
Funnily enough once that date passed in late 2012 is when electropop started to really decline in popularity.

I don't remember doomsday being talked about much until late 2012. I don't think it was really taken seriously and people actually thought fuck it lets dance the world is ending. It seemed more like a tongue in cheek joke.

And I never said it wasn't a thing, I said it wasn't considered that big of a deal. People didn't take it seriously, I don't know one person who actually thought the world was going to end on December 2012.

It seemed more like a tongue in cheek joke. It was pretty gradual, once society entered the the very Late 2000s more hysterics got worse. Some people took it serious, this was around the time people thought Beyoncé and other celebrities were part of the Illuminati, and had secured escape plans if things went downward. “2012” was a pretty good example of it. It’s been forgotten about for a minute. was pretty gradual, once society entered the the very Late 2000s more hysterics got worse.

Maybe it's a regional difference or something but i dont know one person that took it seriously back then. Even in like November 2012 my classmates were all just mocking the whole thing and sarcastically referring to the world ending. Maybe there were a few outlier oddballs who actually believed it would happen but the vast majority treated it as a joke.

Well I lived in New York and you see kinds of people on the streets and a lot of them during that time were people with signs saying the world was gonna end
