Subject: 2018 appreciation thread

Written By: Rainbowz on 07/26/18 at 8:50 pm

There are too many threads here on inthe00s hating on 2018. We had a thread called "Why is 2018's pop culture so dull" and "2018 is the worst year for music this decade". I wanted to make this thread for those who actually think 2018 is great pop culturally and want to share their love here.

Now, some of you may have known already that I previously said that the pop culture of 2018 isn't impressive to me so far, however, 2018 actually does have a good amount of songs that are very catchy. In retrospect, 2018 isn't really that bad of a year for music IMO, at least so far.

Here are some good songs from 2018 that I like:

What is something you love about 2018 so far? Whether it be music, TV, shows, movies, etc.

I'm excited for the next season of Orange is the new Black. The next season comes out in a few days!

I'm watching a political comedy called 'Who is America?' and it's laugh-out-loud funny ;D

Other than that, I'm really enjoying Mario Tennis whenever my friends are over.  8)

The economy is on fire! A bit slower than 2017, but better than 2007-2016.

People on the net just have the marvelous tendency of hating on the current year no matter what ::)

I have the feeling that 2018 seems to be a year that will be worshipped down the line, just wait a few years

Yeah people hated the early 10s and look how fast people became nostalgic for them.  And look at the love 2015 gets on this board.  I'm sure if I dig deep, I'd be able to find plenty of threads bashing 2015.

I liked 2017 and despite its rocky start, I've come to like 2018.

2018 has its own culture and I think 2019 will feel very similar. We’re right in the middle of the core late 2010’s and this is the first year that the early 2010’s has started to feel distant

Is bashing allowed in this thread?

Some music hits out this year sound like the mid 2010s never happened in a way. Which is great!

I like that Ariana Grande song, "No tears left to cry."

"I Like It" Cardi B
"God's Plan" Drake
"Delicate" Taylor Swift
"Meant to be" Bebe Rexha
"Never be the same again" Camila Cabello
"This Is America' Childish Gambino
"On the loose" Niall Horan

I liked all of these songs.

I like the pop culture of 2018 so far too. Not the best but it's still pretty solid. The music this year as been pretty good as well. I don't understand the hate for 2018 music at all when you have the atrocity of 2016 and maybe 2012 to a small extent. In fact, I believe 2016 will be looked back as the worst year of the 2010's so far with about everything lol. When it comes to gaming 2017 is my favorite so far. 2017 was probably the best year for gaming in years with games such as Fortnite and Super Mario Odyssey.

I hated 2015 and 2016 as those years were going on, but looking back I took 2015 for granted and it wasn't bad as I thought it was but 2016 was still awful and I don't want to return to that atmosphere ever again. I loved almost everything about 2017 while 2018 has been alright so far.

This is definitely the second worst year after 2012. It managed to beat 2011 and 2010 in terms of terrible pop culture.

It's funny how quickly everyone abandoned "This Is America" ;D. It's stuck at ~360m views since it came out.

While I understand how annoying those booty songs were in 2014, I think you're heavily underestimating the good songs that came out of 2014. 2016 was the worst IMO and it's not even close.

Tbh I definitely agree with the reasoning of why anyone would pick 2016 as the worst year. It's just that I personally prefer bland and boring (which a lot of 2016 hit songs were) to offensively bad (which a lot of 2014 hit songs were).

Gotta disagree with you there buddy, 2016 was an incredible year for me, so intense and life changing. It was very exciting.
