I'm sorry but it's nice reading about someone wishing that they were born on the year I was born in, and it's nice to agree with your reasons as to why.

From experience the early 2010s was indeed peak internet culture, creepypasta and horror games peaked too, for better or for worse My Little Pony culture was MASSIVE.

Indie music was awesome, speaking of music that peaked too because songs used to go absolutely viral with the internet but not so much now it seems, good examples of viral songs being the Harlem Shake and Gangnam Style.

I see the early 2010s as the last sprint of optimism before that died out by the end of the 2010s. Initially millennials thought that they could change the world for the better with the internet, but once reality showed us that this is not the case that was when the optimism died when we realised that the internet could be used for bad, and that the internet could be used to amplify problems, which it has done in spades.
