So which year would you say as worse as far as news events, pop culture, and personal life? I actually liked 2018 overall even though I didn't really care for the late 2010s pop culture wise. Overall it was a quiet and enjoyable year. In 2019 however I was in a lot of debt, and the music left a lot to be desired. However I'll take either year over 2020, even though the music is better this year and I'm debt free.

2019, didn't even take 10 seconds to vote.

That's a cursed way to frame that question! I liked both years, 2018 moreso. I guess that makes 2019 "worse" but I prefer to say 2018 was "better" ;D

2019.

2019, both personally and pop culturally.

Personally, 2018 was worse. Not that it was BAD per sey, just had a really weird start.

Pop culture.... I'd say I also prefered 2019.

But both were pretty good in their own ways though

2019. For at least a little bit in 2018, the Spore servers were still online.

Things were more and more unbearable the later in the '10s it got, ever since '12 ended.

For music, it would be 2018. The music was way more boring and static back then. Emo/minimalist trap and reggaeton virtually dominated the charts, and the most of the hit songs weren't as diverse or (imo) as good as 2019's offerings.

Personally, I enjoyed 2018 more than 2019, simply due to the fact that I didn't deal with arguing with my stepmom 24/7 yet.

News events were a bit worse in 2019, because of the historic government shutdown and the eventual impeachment of Trump by the tail end of the year.

Neither one was bad, but think I enjoyed 2018 the most.

2019

They're about the same to me. They both were rough years for my personal life but also had their highlights.

2018 was better musically and world events-wise, but 2019 was a more vibrant and memorable year for pop culture.

Didn't vote for this one.

I actually think 2019 was better worlds event-wise. I think 2019 was the calmest year of the late 2010's by far.

2018/2019 were both calm compared to 2015-2017 tbh, which is why I don't hate them.

Yes, definitely. Starting Novemberish 2017 is when things started to become a lot more chill.

Despite the fervor of Trump's presidential presence, I agree that things calmed down in 2019 after the fever pitch of the 2016-2017 period. Most people were content of Trump being president, although politics was and still is polarizing.

Yeah, the 2018-2019 school year was rather calm. I don't remember a lot of significant things that happened that school year, unlike 2017-2018 with the Parkland Shooting and the March For Our Lives. I think the 2017-2018 school year was actually the worst for school shootings IMO.

I actually think 2019 was one of the least calm years of the 21st century so far, especially in the second half of the year many parts of the world were abrased by a wave of either political or ecological protests. It's like if the Arab Spring happened on every continent.

I'm gonna take protests over shootings and terrorist attacks.  :-X

There were still mass shootings in 2019 in El Paso, TX, Gilroy, CA, and Dayton, Ohio.

Finding a calm year in the Trump presidency is like finding a needle in a haystack.

2015 had the two big terror attacks in France, which ushered in a 2-3 year period of frequent terror attacks in Europe. From my perspective, 2015-2017 was worse than either 2018 or 2019.
