How long did Pokémon Go last for? I remember a nephew chasing around looking for them.

lasted until mid November of that year and faded off, mostly was a peak summer fad

It was the summer I remember it from, we even had one on our restaurant table.

Those photos make 2016 look like ages ago. I was expecting to see pics of people with MAGA hats or "I'm with Her" t-shirts, or posters.

2016 does seem like it was ages ago.  Our country has changed so much since then (and not for the better).

That second to the last dude at the bottom row got a really long neck. Damn, he probably already know what heaven looks like. ;D ;D ;D

I remember    don't go to Target or we'll be surrounded  by pokeballs

Cool throwback :)! This year is so recent yet it's just super weird to think that all the memories of it are now all frozen in the past :o. It's kind of spooky even

This is pretty nice! I can kind of feel the vibe in this one. Can you do 2013, 2012 or 2014 atmosphere?

It took Pokémon Go to really give one of the glimpses of definitive.

I miss 2016.

Same i tried to play pokemon go but my tablet was being slow so. I also miss 2016.

all I go to say is any pokemon but Pikachu

Thanx =)  Yeah I picked out only pics that fit the atmosphere in terms of color and vibe

I just might

LOL, some of you feel like this was "ages ago"?

Let's not get crazy here. The only thing that's extremely different from November 2016 and now is the political and geopolitical standing of America.

I would say that has had a ripple effect on people's mindsets and attitudes, which has impacted the zeitgeist.  It may not be as noticeable in Canada.  Down here, this is a dark era for most people but racist and far-right religious groups are energized to an extent they probably haven't been in more than half a century.

There are quite a few members on this board from Canada.  For the most part, the pop culture is the same but there are some differences from time to time.

Ahhhh I'm already nostalgic for Pokemon Go ;D. It literally feels like a dream. Every I went there were people playing Pokemon go and everyone was united for a second ;D.

The late 2016 shift is real lol

I have no time for hoes who don't turn AR off in Pokémon GO.

My photo from November 2016. So retro lol I use a 4K TV if I want to watch TV nowadays.

November 2016 was easily the peak of my crush for this guy who was in my pre-engineering class.  ;D ;D Ever single day in November of 2016 I thought about him. There was absolutely no day in that month and year where I didn't.  ;D ;D

Ah November 2016, nothing happened.  8)

NOV is the month most people will remember from 2016

2016 feels so close, yet so distant...

It followed in the same foot steps as 1996 and 2006 and you are right

When September hit that year the mood changed drastically, kind of this futuristic feeling, you had artists like 21 pilots and Halsey taking over the charts,
while this vibe of something is coming was lingering, I remember Malls was extra packed this month.

November of this year is when Rap was overtaking Pop completely as well , forcing taylor to start making songs with rap artists

Late 2016 was a short window of optimism.  The lingering recession was finally clearly over and the economy was really starting to look a lot better.  In the mean time, we had not yet entered the Trump era.  I really think late 2016 was a special era.  I know in my personal life, that was one of the better times post-2012.  2017 was also a decent year by the standard of the post-2012 '10s for me.

Here's one photo from November 2016  ;D ;D

This was me in January 2016 and boy do i look different.

It  has the same vibe of 96 and 2006 during that time, that new ness feeling, A huge reason why I hated a big portion of the 2010s up until 2014 is the economy was still bad, it was like I was waiting and waiting for it to come back. I noticed in 2016 all of these malls that were doing good were getting HUGE make overs, obv the economy was doing better to allow stuff like this to happen, I noticed many buildings in NY were also getting pricey face lifts as well.

Here's pic I took during the premier of "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" in November 2016

Half of 2016 is now two years ago, it still feels like last year.

The sequel is due for release soon?

You look like you have a goatee.  ;D

Oh hey, Somerset Mall! That's just a short drive away from me! So you guys see an atmosphere of a time period and I just see my hometown. ;D

And then Great Lakes Crossing Mall too, I see. Where do you find these photos and how do you pick 'em?

Here's one photo from November 2016  ;D ;D


I don't know how to explain it Rainbowz but you have really diverse features!  :D

Is that you? You look so cute!

Thanks lol. And yeah that's me.  ;D ;D

I'm probably going to delete it because I feel like I'm just trying to show off myself in a thread that's not really related to showing pictures of yourself.  ;D ;D ;D

BTW, why is your hair curlier now?  :D

Are you actually talking to me? Because you aren't directly responding to me.

I mean, yes I was indeed asking that.

Oh lol.

I don't think my hair is "curlier" now. I think it's actually the opposite. I had naturally curly hair when I was a toddler, but it just straightened as I got older for some reason.

bumped for spyro

Must admit, everything before November 9, 2016 now feels like a different era pretty much. After Trump was elected, we entered a new era with more anger and polarization and new things happening that weren't thought possible (though there were signs of it as early as 2014).

Late 2016 shift. :P Before the late 2016 shift, we used to have members like Slim and Jordan and Fire Fast Guy, now they're gone and a new generation of members is here (I like the new guys too, don't worry).

As I predicted to my friend the day after Trump won lol
The vibe did a 180

Although like I said before, things started feeling "weird" or "polarized" as early as 2014 when the whole "SJW" thing started, and Gen Z youth culture debatably began taking over when people started using "post-ironic" memes around 2014 instead of sincere ones, but November 9, 2016 was pretty much the culmination.

I remember in December of that year people were calling Fergie's song the anthem to the end of the classic 2010s lol

I agree.

November 2016 was when the mid 2010s started dying and by January 2017, the late 2010s culture killed the mid 2010s culture. 2016 was truly the last year of the 2010s with Obama and pop music dominating the charts.

I would put the mid to late 2010's transition from November 8, 2016 to August 12, 2017 - basically from the 2016 election to the Charlottesville riots.

Any day after August 12, 2017 is absolutely late 2010's from a political standpoint because that was when some people started to realize that both SJWs and the alt-right were a problem.

I would put August 2017 as the start of the late 2010's culturally as well. "Gucci Gang" was released later on in August, aviator eyeglasses started to make a comeback in September, the whole "reboot" trend also began in September with the It reboot, and towards the end of the year, Fortnite started to become a thing.

November 2016 - August 2017 period is when the late 2010s starting to form an identity. After August 2017, the identity has been established. Would you agree?

That was basically what I said in my post that you replied to, so, yes.

The early to mid 2010's transition, in my opinion, was from August 2013 to May 2014. Miley becoming raunchier made "twerking" become popular from around 2013 to 2015 and Lorde started to become popular later on in 2013.

May 2014 with the Elliot Rodger rampage was absolutely mid 2010's - that was when "incels" started to become a thing.

The main thing that makes 2013 early 2010's is politics. In 2013, recreational marijuana sales were still illegal even though they were declared legal in November 2012, there was no ISIS, no one knew what an "incel" was, and SJWs and the Alt-right didn't really exist yet.

I agree. The peak mid 2010s culture would be from May 2014 to Fall 2016.

Core 2010's: 2013-2017
Mid 2010's: 2014-2016
Peak year of the 2010's: 2016

I have a feeling that my opinion about 2017 still being core 2010's is very unpopular. Even though Trump was already president by then, a lot of shows definitive to the 2010's were still on air and it was still a time before tide pods, which gave Generation Z notoriety (I don't know if this is the correct word to use) as a generation, and the Parkland shooting, which gave Generation Z a voice in politics.

2017 may be more late 2010's, but it is still core 2010's in my opinion.

Early 2017 felt core 2010s but late 2017 however doesn't feel very core 2010s.

I would say the mood changed drastically into late after Donald won
