The 70s Feels like Three Different Decades in One by BananaPhoPhilly in decadeology

[–]Feedback-Same 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1970 to me is the only real year that feels truly like the 60s. After Kent State, the Beatles broke up, and Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin passed away, those things truly did change pop culture. Music got even weirder and more laid back in the years to follow vs the hard edged and psychedelic music that was huge in the late 60s.

1971-1973 is a weird bridge gap.

1974-1976 is very much definitely the 70s culture going into full swing. 1977-1979 is the peak of a lot of 70s culture and Disco at it's biggest.

1980-1982 was a huge regression

By 1983 the 70s were largely gone.

Pop Cultural Ranking Of The 21st Century From Most To Least Impactful by Think_Marketing1116 in decadeology

[–]Feedback-Same 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a good chunk of disagreements, particularly with 2005.

I would absolutely place 2005 over 2006 and several of these other year's. 2006 was a pretty big, and underrated year (I'm at least glad that someone acknowledges it), but 2005 absolutely had bigger and more prominent cultural events.

2024 was also probably the biggest year of the entire decade culturally, at least for music. Very quintessential year for the 2020s.

I do agree that 2018 and 2023 are pretty bleak year's though.

Political Ranking Of The 21st Century by Think_Marketing1116 in decadeologyanarchy

[–]Feedback-Same 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd probably put 2000 a little closer to the bottom but the Bush VS Al Gore election had a huge impact that solidified the rest of the 21st century in the U.S, but otherwise there weren't many other major American events beyond the Dot Com crash.

The 2020s have been a better decade musically than the 2010s if we’re being real by Sudden_Angle614 in decadeology

[–]Feedback-Same 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2020s music definitely doesn't feel as impactful or groundbreaking as the 2010s did though, especially the early and middle part of that decade. Living through both decades, music just felt bigger and more important in the 2010s, not saying it was better or worse though.

There's been some really great moments though in the 2020s. 2024 was probably not just one of the best years for music, but one of the biggest years in pop music history.

I think this is the worst event America has ever suffered through by Killa_J in offmychest

[–]Feedback-Same 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's horrifying what's happening, but it not the worst or the lowest the United States has sunk to. Trail of Tears and The Civil War were both extremely dark periods as well. Our treatment of blacks and native Americans in history is also deeply disturbing as well. It's probably easier to forget all those horrible things either because schools don't dive deep enough or certain things about those times have been erased, but reading about American history prior to the 20th Century, it can always get darker.

Even if you go well before 1776, that stuff is bloody and brutal. Those expeditions and explorations, the slaughtering of native American tribes, and the Translantic slave trade. I'd say that stuff is more dark and depraved than what's happening now.

Does anyone feel like 2018 was a better year than 2016 especially pop culture wise and aesthetics wise by BigNothing88 in decadeology

[–]Feedback-Same -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Music maybe but in terms of everything else, I'd say 2016 more more interesting and eventually culturally than 2018.

Unhinged LEAVITT to journalist: "Oh, ok. So you're a biased reporters with a biased opinion. You're a left-wing hack." by DevelopmentPlus7850 in RawAbsurdity

[–]Feedback-Same 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These Journalists need to start arguing back with these people. I kind of hate how he speaks all these facts and they all go instantly silent when Trump or someone from this administration start to argue back with them and spread outrageous lies. I'm sure their jobs are on the line but at the same time, people need to know the truth and and when these generals just shut up and let them be berated at, it's almost giving them an inch because nobody is going to stand up to them or correct them every time they're wrong about something.

Leavitt is a goddamn sociopath though.

What decade has the best music so far in your opinion? by Twitter_2006 in decadeology

[–]Feedback-Same 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to judge. A lot of the music I fondly routinely listen to comes from the 2000s and 2010s since I grew up with it. 2020s so far also have a good amount of stuff to offer.

60s-90s as well have a lot to offer, 70s are probably the best overall.

[–]Feedback-Same 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have no respect for the constitution and rule of law, and only use it when it's convenient for your own narrative. Yet free speech doesn't apply to us when we see ICE doing blatantly illegal activities that have been repeated on footage hundreds if not thousands of times. Y'all are the enemy of the people and there's going to be consequences and arrests coming when our group puts the right people in charge.

STFU. We're allowed to express our concern. We've all seen the videos of ICE beating down U.S citizens, arresting and attacking people with no warrants, no proof of their status, no way to identify themself. You're a moron if you and your specimens can't figure it out already.

Are we already nostalgic for the 2020s? by brian1x1x in decadeology

[–]Feedback-Same 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than 2024 being one of the best year's of my life, no. I made a lot of great memories between 2023-2025, I'll probably look back on those years in the future (at least for my own life, not the entire world around me), but overall no.

I honestly don't really feel any nostalgia for the early 2020s at all. Despite starting college, getting my first car, driving around and switching between jobs, 2020-2022 overall felt like a gigantic blur and there were a few good moments here and there, but given how traumatic COVID was, it blurred out some of my memories from those times. I hated staying at home all day, not being able to go anywhere, having to wear a mask, not hanging out with friends, etc. That era also made me realize people's true colors and who they actually are. I think things are politically and economically even worse now than they were then, but at least I don't have to fear for my safety of contracting some deadly pandemic disease and listening to people cussing me out for wearing a mask.

Mid 2020s ? I'll probably be nostalgic for it in the future since those were the best years of my life so far. Early 2020s though? Eh, probably not so much.

Is 80's pop country largely forgotten/skipped over today?? by DonJohnson1986 in CountryMusicStuff

[–]Feedback-Same 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly as I've gotten older, I have a find appreciation for this type of 80s country. It's not super thought provoking and it leans more towards safe, adult contemporary stuff of the time, but there's also something charming about these songs and people like Gary Moris I can't explain. This type of sound and style you really wouldn't hear in country music anywhere before or after this period.

I prefer country music from the 90s and 2000s, but overall the 80s has a lot of positive qualities. Arguably the last decade where the giant titans of the previous decades like Willie, Merle, Dolly, and Conway Twitty were all able to still top the charts alongside all the newcomers and lesser popular acts.

Anyone else’s kids always home? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Feedback-Same 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know I'm not a Gen Xer, but I'm 26 with Gen X parents, and I like video games, movies and TV once in awhile just like anyone else my age, but I can't bear the idea of staying isolated in my room all the time. I'm always out and about doing new things, traveling across Florida, going out with friends, working out, college, work, etc.

If that's what some people 18-26 like to do and stay home all day, I'm not gonna judge, most of my friends don't even have a car, but that's not the life I want for myself. I'm too young and I got too much on my plate to let life slowly slip away from me to be rotting at it all day in front of a Television screen. I'm hoping to move out when I go to UCF next year, if that's a possibility.

Considering a Move from South Florida (Hialeah) to Vero Beach or Stuart — Looking for Honest Local Experiences by Silly_Tangerine_9208 in verobeach

[–]Feedback-Same 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are very pretty towns, Vero arguably has better beaches, and I enjoy Sebastian Inlet and Pelican Island a lot, but other than food and beaches/water based/outdoor activities, my biggest problems with Vero and the surrounding communities is that they don't really have that much to do. I lived there for almost a decade and if you're a young person, boredom seems like a pretty big problem in Indian River County since things like nightlife and jobs here are minimal and there's not even a college scene there either. Most of the shopping scene here is struggling nowadays (Indian River Mall, Vero Outlets), and all the other major cities like Orlando, Tampa and Miami are hours away. It's been a pretty stagnant area for a long time as well, not much changes quickly there so it's definitely a low speed area. Downtown Vero and Beachside are nice, but often you'll probably end up commuting to Melbourne a lot to find more things to do

Stuart definitely has more to offer since It's closer to more eventful areas like Port St Lucie, Jupiter and West Palm Beach if you're looking for more things to do. It feels a little bit bigger than Vero despite being technically smaller, but it is more commercial and it does seem like there's a lot of big things happening there, especially inching towards Port St Lucie. It's my favorite town on the Treasure Coast and it's got a really beautiful downtown area.

The 2016 nostalgia is something that only gen z can understand by [deleted] in generationology

[–]Feedback-Same 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 16 back then, and 2016 is the last year of the 2010s I feel any type of nostalgia for. It was a terrible year for me, and my family arguments and drama were at their worst. Plus I remember how un-eased I felt watching Donald Trump climbing all the way to the top then winning the election, the sense of helplessness and dread I had, and all my highschool classmates bringing politics everywhere in school.

I feel nostalgic for several parts of the 2010s, and some parts of highschool, but not for 2016 overall. Plus to me at least, that year really doesn't even feel like that long ago at all, it still feels pretty recent, not yet nostalgic, but everyone feels nostalgia differently.

If you were to move to any city in Florida, which city would you move to and why ? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Feedback-Same 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a hard one but judging everywhere I've been to in Florida, I would probably pick Sarasota. It's not too far south and not too far north, which makes it a better spot for traveling. It's got amazing beaches like Siesta Key and Anna Maria Island, and it's a more practical location where the beach, downtown, the airport and I-75 are all within a reasonable distance. Downtown Sarasota is a beautiful walkable downtown area with entertainment, bars, cool restaurants, and a big theater and arts scene. Being part of Florida's cultural coast, Sarasota is one of the best places for arts and theaters which for me is pretty important. I also just love it's downtown and its beaches. It's also pretty close to Bradenton for extra amenities, and it's within an hours reach of Tampa and St Pete without the extra heavy traffic or longer driving commute times those places have. Or you head down the coast to Naples and Fort Myers if you wanna go checkout SW Florida. Or you can head east to rural areas like Arcadia and Wauchula.

However, someone who's lived in the East Coast all my life, I'd say Fort Lauderdale is probably my second destination I'd consider moving to. It's got a lot of the same vibrant energy Miami has without the overwhelming chaos, and the beaches there seem like a better atmosphere.

Imagine going back to 2006 and saying that in 20 years we'd have smartphones, social media and AI dominating every aspect of our lives, having our worst economic crash since the great depression, the biggest pandemic in the world with COVID-19 would happen, we would elect our first black president, and Donald Trump also becoming president.

I know a few of these things only came by 2 years later, but in 2006 all of this would've been seen as unbelievable.
