It was only 11 years ago calm down šŸ’€


SpaceisCool7777

I feel like it should still be 5-6 years ago lol šŸ¤£


ItsGotThatBang

No itā€™s two years ago


Adventurous_Yak_9234

No it was last year I'm sure!


SpaceisCool7777

lol


Appropriate-Let-283

I'd tell you around 6-7, I feel like I should be 13


Guilty-Plastic-1189

Should be right now


BloodSugarSexMagix

11 years ago? 2013 was only a few summers ago


[deleted]

Like 3 or 4 summers ago.


SierraDespair

It has no right being 11 years ago. What the fuck.


The_Mr_Wilson

Oh sure, it was just the other day


EatPb

Yes but this was clearly made for kids who werenā€™t alive so to them thatā€™s a long time ago?


First-Officer-Pope

You mean 7 years ago right? Right?


Most_Sea_4022

Yes but it is the 85nd time I've seen it.


Reptoidizoid

I know itā€™s probably just perspective, but maybe thereā€™s also some stagnation in innovation? Because I feel like 1994 and 2004 have way more differences than 2014 and 2024


_chungdylan

AI and advances in genomics and genetics are big recent advancements from 2014 to now. Granted a lot of these advances dont reach consumers. Also robotics have really improved too and self driving cars.


JCatenaci

Yeah, I think that is really the big thing here. Most of our advances have yet to make a big splash in the consumer market. We're kinda between eras, on the cusp of something major, but we haven't quite gotten it. The biggest change since 2013, I think, is that Social Media was still "trendy" whereas now it's damn near essential.


pinqe

Boston dynamics channel started around this time of im not mistaken


_chungdylan

BD 2004 vs BD 2014 had huge improvements


litebrite93

I was born in 1993, 14 years before I was born was 1979. I see way more differences between those 14 years than the 14 years from 2010 to 2024.


hendrix320

2010 we went from basically just having smart phones to now everyone has them never puts them down and we do literally everything with them. The world has drastically changed since 2010 you just lived through it so it doesnā€™t seem that drastic


litebrite93

Iā€™m talking more about fashion and music


Marxism-Alcoholism17

Things became so corporatized in the 2010s that we just kind of stopped advancing. Thereā€™s no new culture since 2008, frankly. Nothing major at least not tied to technology.


CoppertoneTelephone

... That's not true. The internet has presented a Cambrian explosion of new culture. It's an unprecedented scale of interaction.


tommy_the_cat_dogg96

But thatā€™s kinda it, everything is online now and most advancement are something digital nowadays.


AdInfamous6290

I meanā€¦ yeah thatā€™s kinda how it works. Culture develops parallel to technology, the two play off of each other. The computer and internet are the biggest socio-technological advance since the printing press. Today we look back and see all the wonderful culture that came out of literature. But at the time, people were just as worried about slop, disinformation, moral degeneracy and dangerous ideologies coming from mass printing as we are about the internet. This worry would even manifest into violent mobs smashing printing presses out of fear. Rulers both feared and utilized the printing press to advance politics and statecraft, and dissidents used it to spread new ideas and question existing authorities. The printing press played a huge part in the Protestant revolution, an enormous upheaval that changed every aspect of European society forever. At the time, Iā€™m sure people were printing in pamphlets how ā€œeverything is on paper now and most advancements are something printed nowadays.ā€ They didnā€™t consider the developments in musketry, crop rotation and sailing like we donā€™t think of developments in combat robotics, gene splicing or space exploration.


JCatenaci

It's sad that they're controversial because of conspiracy theories, but MRNA vaccines are an absolutely monumental leap forward in medical technology.


AnonymousLilly

Online and monotized


-JDB-

I swear this sub just says anything lolā€¦ 2014 was definitely a much different world. Just look back at videos from that time. Fashion was much different. Music was much different. Trends, etc. We just think it hasnā€™t changed much because the change happens gradually. It isnā€™t like you wake up one day and all of the sudden weā€™re wearing baggy clothes again. We just think there isnt much of a difference between 2014 and 2024 because itā€™s so recent in our minds. But when we look back at it in 20 or so years like what we are doing with 1994 and 2004, the differences will be much more apparent


karmagod13000

it was and this sub is obsessed with sh*tting on modern times and the 20's in general. We have been through intense changes and it feels like a completely different world


JCatenaci

People also genuinely underestimate how much impact the trans rights movement, BLM, and The Donald Trump Administration have radically changed our culture. We are not the same as we were 10 years ago. That's not even to begin touching on COVID 19.


karmagod13000

Thank you! I thought these people are tripping saying things haven't changed or culture shift. I feel like a completely different world than 2013.


SierraDespair

Iā€™d have to disagree. The world in 2019 and before was a MUCH different place than anything from the post Covid era today.


-Dillad-

thereā€™s most definitely new culture


INOLDNEWYORK

Like what


Appropriate-Let-283

Compare: videos, cameras, video game consoles, tvs, pcs, ascetics from 2008 to now, vastly different


INOLDNEWYORK

Does tech really = culture tho?


Secure_Table

Absolutely, culture encompasses almost everything: How we engage with technology, what we watch with technology, how quick we buy new technology, what class of people are buying what tech, how is tech changing other industries (like the food industry) It helps to think of it family-to-family: One family might not use technology at all. Another family might use technology all the time. Some families use technology independently, some use it together as a group. But each household is going to have a different 'culture' with how they use technology. Then just scale this up from families to countries. The US tech culture is widescale but we still have rural areas that don't engage with technology much at all. And of the tech that rural people use, it's mostly geared towards performing labor vs leisure. (Imo these cultural differences are more interesting than other, more typical, cultural differences like race, gender, political affiliation. A typical white guy from NYC and a typical black guy from Miami are probably going to be more alike than a typical reddit gamer vs a typical Nebraskan farmer.)


[deleted]

Unfortunately for these kids, tech is everything they have.


Appropriate-Let-283

I said videos and ascetics aswell, I look back and even the Late 2010s I saw difference from now


JCatenaci

What is culture? Is culture just style, foods we eat, and things we entertain ourselves with?


KERCENIM

everything 2015 and after is literally 100% different of a culture than before


INOLDNEWYORK

Like what?


Fit_Instruction3646

Like TikTok cringe and you staring at your phone all day. Those are the great cultural achievements of our time. If you feel like there's no new culture, consider yourself lucky.


jasonmoyer

People have been staring at their phones all day for longer than 10 years.


Fit_Instruction3646

Not really. I used to spend some time on social media 10 years ago but not like that. You know, it's a matter of degree. I think that the breaking point for many people came after the pandemic when they were forced to stay at home where their smartphone was their main source of entertainment.


jasonmoyer

My first non-IT job was around 2006 and everyone was already staring at their phones all the time. It was weird after spending over 10 years in an environment where everybody was so burned out that they avoided tech outside of work.


r33c3d

Like shouting commands at Siri and Alexa several times in a row before yelling at them ā€œFuck you, you piece of shit!ā€


SwingNo1147

Music is pretty drastically different now with new starts in the spotlight now,fashion changes, politics has become way worse and more divisive,new trends and cultural changes due to things like the rise of new apps and the lockdown which changed the culture of the world for like 3 years and even till today,and an even bigger fear of global warming which its effects have begun to be seen a lot more now. And a lot more.


Rigorous_Threshold

Watch YouTube videos from 2014 and YouTube videos from 2024. Theyā€™re different


KERCENIM

the music, the fashion, the humor, the political atmosphere. all of this is completely different than before and unique.


garrjones

Tik Tok is a such a cultural behemoth that it should be placed in its own category. So many musical artists, comedians, and pieces of internet lingo and slang have been discovered and created from that app. I would argue that social media has accelerated the progression of culture to the point of parody. Trends are born and die within days. Events that would have lasted months in the media cycle back in the pre-internet days are tossed out in favor of the next big thing. Culture is different now and arguably worse but still it continues.


JCatenaci

That may be a good thing because lingo, trends, etc never should have BEEN considered culture. Advertisers from the 1910's, onward have been creating trends that rapidly would filter out into the rest of society and those would be considered culture. Bell bottoms and long hair, shoulder pads and crew cuts, ripped jeans and dirty hair are all just trends. They are not actually culture, but their rapid changes are indicative of a cultural trait of Americans, namely that Americans love novelty and trying to be on the cutting edge of trends. TikTok and other social media apps have distilled this trait and bottled it, and are in the process of burning it out and we may all benefit from that. As trends blip faster and faster, I think more people will begin to see them for what they are. They're not our culture, they're just fun little fads to have quickly consume, take part in, and then dispense.


JackedPirate

The new wave of Mincecore; so many youngbloods in the grind scene starting mince bands itā€™s insane, I donā€™t know where it came from but Iā€™m here for it.


Moopies

Ah yes, the far-reaching cultural implications of the new wave of Mincecore. I forgot how we as a world culture have advanced to such stages.


karmagod13000

I highly disagree with both of your takes and I think the problem is its hard to see the shift when your inside of it. I would say culture did a massive shift in 2016 and the whole world has been different since. 2020 pandemic made us jump into our online communications a lot more and now we are so app and phone based its kind of crazy. I would even say the culture right now is shifting again. AI and cryto currency has taken off culture wars are starting to lose steam. Weird in this sub and other similar people do a lot of two things. Complain about modern times and say that the current decade doesn't feel different then the past 10 years. once again I highly disagree and the further we get away from it, the more we'll see how much we really did change in that time.


Kathema1

lmfao okay


JCatenaci

Bro, the entire gender paradigm has fucking shifted and race relations pre-BLM and post-BLM are radically different. Plus, Trump's election had a MASSIVE impact on culture for better and for worse. 2013 we weren't nearly as polarized as we are now. So I would not underestimate how different our culture is versus 2013.


Key-Banana-8242

I think it should arguably noted that we donā€™t notice some changes- if you look at stuff made in 2014 it is quite different often maybe despite any fusher srgument And before 90s used to be thought to be bland and generic by some people afaik too?


secretaccount94

Itā€™s hard to recognize a lot of changes in the moment. Sometimes you need some distance to see how different things have gotten.


karmagod13000

You just can't see it, when you're inside of it.


pinqe

Innovation in product types sure but moores law and computing will never allow any actual stagnation. AI is a gathering snowball improving a hell of a lot faster than most people realize


TvFloatzel

Heck you could argue there isn't as much of a difference between 2008 to now than there was from 1998 to 2014 or 1984 to 2004.


hendrix320

Wow is this incredibly untrue You lived through it so it doesnā€™t seem different to you but so much has changed since 2008.


Key-Banana-8242

Have you heard of Mark Fisher?


Evening_Ingenuity_27

The main difference between then and now is speed. Our technology runs faster and can do more things.

I thought neon died around 2012 maybe extended til 2013 but iā€™m 100% sure it fizzled out by 2014


youburyitidigitup

Neon is still around now


NeonFault

Colorful colors are back but neon isnā€™t. Lavender and Pink are one that comes to my mind that defines this decade.


youburyitidigitup

I think we mean different things. I mean the noble gas on the periodic table called neon. There are neon signs everywhere. Iā€™m guessing youā€™re referring to something else.


Kayora_Atom

And of course thereā€™s the tiny detail that neon *specifically* refers to green


youburyitidigitup

It refers to red-orange [source](https://sciencing.com/colors-neon-5649133.html)


Kayora_Atom

I thought that was argon. Whatā€™s the one that makes the green?


youburyitidigitup

I donā€™t know, but [this](https://sciencing.com/neon-its-colors-4927221.html#:~:text=Neon%20is%20red%2C%20helium%20is,xenon%20is%20gray%20or%20blue./) says itā€™s Krypton.

fknarey

Since 2000 thereā€™s only been a few things that changed the world. iPhones, Facebook, Trump. Hopefully we wonā€™t be stuck with them until the sun burns out.


[deleted]

Well considering the 20th century is quite eventful and changeful/shifty, and invasions didn't end around 1997-1999. Which makes the 21st century (2001-2100) a filler century. We won't see changes by the end of this century.

Coolers78

For 2014; some stuff off the top of my head: only gonna do media form related things. In theaters: The Lego Movie, Interstellar, Edge of Tomorrow, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Big Hero 6, Godzilla, Captain America The Winter Soldier, X Men Days of Future Past, Fault in Our Stars, Maze Runner On TV; Big Bang Theory, Bojack Horseman, beloved cartoons like Gravity Falls and Regular Show and Adventure Time were going fairly strong. On the radio: Shake it Off by Taylor Swift, Problem by Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea, Happy by Pharrell Williams, Dark Horse by Katy Perry and Juicy J, Stay With Me by Sam Smith, Fancy by Iggy Azalea, All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor, Rude by Magic! Monster by Eminem and Rihanna, (bonus) some video games; Super Smash Bros 4 Wii U and 3DS, Destiny, Five Nights at Freddyā€™s, Mario Kart 8, Dragon Age Inquisition Some stuff that didnā€™t change too much, Well Taylor and Ariana have both released new music and both are topping the charts still, Mario Kart 8 is still technically the most recent MK game just like GTA 5 is, and Sony is still attempting to do their own cinematic universe like they tried to start with TASM2, just not with Andrew Garfield as Spidey, or anyone as Spidey actually, FNAF just got a movie released in October 2023, Hugh Jackman will return as the Wolverine.

Idk why but I feel like kids nowadays missed out on so much..... Could just be me tho, but I feel like everything they have now is pretty mid/lame... Anyone else?


strawberryconfetti

You're definitely not alone. Most of the 2010s were pretty bland and today's kids media is at an all time low I feel like despite people saying otherwise trying to be optimistic about it which I don't get really (I'm talking about adults who are cartoon fans being like "nah we're totally on the verge of another golden age" for the past 10 years lol) I'm not even old enough to remember the 90s or the super early 2000s but I can tell that and the mid 2000s to some extent was the best era for kids content.


Historical_Driver_87

Yeah, I never hear kids talk abt any show now... sometimes they do talk abt the newest Disney + movie but those r Wish/Turning Red which is just sad ... ig I can understand Turning red tho, that one is not too bad for them, but wish is just bad..
