Of all the things young people could have latched onto, it's the decade of the great recession almost no place on earth really recovered from, a head bozo in the US that's somehow popular but turned the world into his personal drone playground, while the empire continued as it did.
It was the decade every social movement failed in, and mostly retreated back to moralistic forms of liberalism, just as every equally moralistic right wing reaction grew exponentially, leading to the current issues.
It was the decade climate change was decided to be fixed through a bunch of treaties worth less than the paper they were written on.
It was the decade of the start of the return of the malaise of collapsing empires. Poverty, hunger, climate change caused disasters. War had not went away, but resistance to it did.
Plus, pop culture (the thing most of the nostalgia is directed to - the eternal "It's Christmas ~~1996~~ 2013 and my parents got me ~~a Nintendo 64~~ the new Call of Duty" of obnoxious liberals) sucked ass.
Imagine when the 20/30 year nostalgia cycle hits the fucking MCU movies lol
I'm dreading when people get nostalgic for phone games
A wave of 2040 indie games that are inspired by those shitty phone ad games lol
If any of those actually existed as presented, no monkey's pawsing (ads, microtransactions, pay to win, etc.), are we even sure they'd have long-term replayability?
Subway Surfer revival
This will be the aesthetic in 2042
flappybirdcore
Stranger Things but it's mustache finger tattoos and autotune
The moustache finger tattoos, nightcore and uggs are the trifecta of evil
There's plenty of people who already are, especially the early gen alphas and such
Poor gen alpha lol
They're advertising the upcoming capefilms as being "old school MCU" lmao
I mostly just wish the year 2012 would die already
Fantastic 4: The First Steps
But in Pedro Pascal I trust so....maybe?
I adore the man, but uhhh Wonder Woman 1984 is proof enough he can be in shit movies lol
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
AI slop posters and The Thing looks like he's from a completely different movie that is 100% animated instead of live action. It's just more slop with a new aesthetic on top of it.
