It's ridiculously entertaining to me that today's teens are yearning for 2013 when 2013 teens were incredibly sincere with their "I was born in the wrong decade" posts
the internet was so unserious back then. everyone was just in a silly goofy mood lmao. we were harlem shaking and obsessed with keep calm and carry on posters
@@Daydreamerr13 are you kidding, 2013 tumblr was ANYTHING but light hearted, fights 24/7 over the dumbest most chronically online discourse that puts chronically online tiktok to shame, the word tumblarina exists for a reason
romanticizing the past is something teenagers always do. As a millennial I know my friends and I would do the same thing about the 70s and being hippies
29 and I actually still use tumblr because it's the only social media site that hasn't gone to shit (I was always on the fantom side though so it never died for me)
Istg Tumblr was THE platform where 90% of the gays at that time got their awakening. It was such an iconic era but the migration to Twitter kinda ruined it
There was a girl at my school (named Casey, funnily enough) who was the HUGEST fan of him. She had a messenger bag with a giant picture of his face on it and she was pretty much known as "that girl who's obsessed with Justin Bieber".
I’m surprised that you didn’t mention The 1975 at all throughout this video. They were also pretty huge during the Tumblr era. Also, movies like The Perks Of Being A Wallflower were pretty popular as well during that time. I remember I had a picture of the cast as my wallpaper on my iPhone for a couple of years.
people tend to view 2011-2014ish as the “golden age of tumblr” but whether you were a hipster/emo/stan blog back then you’d know it’s always been a hellsite (derogatory)
@@naan000yes but it was still less toxic than Tik Tok and Instagram. There were a bunch of little communities on tumblr. Cliques. Emo, hipsters etc. and eating disorders, especially anorexia was one of those communities but it definitely didn’t affect everyone. You had to be a part of that clique. Like yes we almost all hated ourselves but it was all about weight and we didn’t have access or the money for plastic surgery. Whereas now teenagers literally want to change their entire face and get surgery at 18 PLUS wanting to be skinny. It’s gotten worse. We were definitely a lot less mature and more innocent than Gen Z is today.
@@naan000 it was horrible and i was skinny in 2014, gained weight only bc of pcod, from India where random strangers commenting on your weight is normalized so i didn't realize how harmful it was until much later. ED twitter is in the same direction now
as someone who was on the fandom/anime side of tumblr, it's so amusing seeing what the "aesthetic" side of tumblr was like in 2013. fandom side was having a meltdown about onceler and superwholock and the homestuck fandom was entering its first hiatus
The ukuleles in 2013 were everywhere!! Colleen used it for her vid a decade too late in 2013 playing a ukulele while deflecting responsibility and accountability would’ve been totally acceptable
I actually honestly believe that if Colleen had done that in 2013 people would have eaten it up. We would have thought it was so incredible how she showed her quirky and creative side all while being vulnerable and honest. The bar was under the floor back then.
2013 was also when Miley Cyrus released "Wrecking Ball" and people were freaking out over the music video thinking it was "inappropriate". But "Blurred Lines" was totally normal though 💀
They also got so much flack for it in 2013. Blurred Lines literally had an explicit content warning for "that" music video too. News stations and sites were talking about it being banned in the UK at college bars and being called rapey. Parents threw a fit about the contents of the lyrics and video on Facebook the week the song started trending.
@@aaliyahfoster2705 I am glad to hear that. Where I am from (not an English speaking country) the Blurred Lines music video was not an issue which I think shows that the critique for "Blurred Lines" was more based on the lyrics. People seemed generally, without paying attention to the lyrics, fine with two naked women dancing around fully clothed men while when Miley Cyrus was just sitting on a wrecking ball, not that visibly naked, everyone was discussing it. But I can just speak to how I experienced it in Germany as a 13 year old at the time :)
@@eineperson3689 For me, Miley's outrage was also understandable because of her nature before the Bangerz era. This will be a long one. She came off of Disney Channel as one of its biggest household names. She released music for them too under her own name and Hannah Montana with her songs getting regular airplay on the network during commercial breaks too and touring under Disney. Disney also signed off her Hannah character to companies standing for "family values" like Walmart, Justice, and Limited Too which touted her merch as this clean, polished, everyday girl. So when We Can't Stop came out without warning and then Wrecking Ball, she still had the conservative families and a very young children's audience (like 9-year-olds and up) from Disney still following her, and the backlash came because she was no longer a good role model for tweens and Amanda Bynes'd herself. And her other actions like appropriation, teasing to flash her teets, constantly sticking her tongue out in public as a gimmick, licking a hammer, and simulating masterb8ion in the Adore You music video brought her under more scrutiny because it traumatized kids that were subjected to it and at the same time, watched Hannah reruns that were still airing at the time she started that album cycle.
@@aaliyahfoster2705 Yeah, I just think it is fun to reflect on how upset people were that she was moving on from her Disney Era, trying to emancipate herself by making everything a little sexual on purpose. Did people seriously expect that she would forever go with the role of the perfect girl that adults assigned to her as a child without her will? Now she is just Miley Cyrus and not so connected anymore to Hannah Montana yet she is still very successful, so her plan worked. I also think if someone would move on from Disney now in a similar way people would not be so shocked anymore. I think the whole view on child stars and Disney has changed a lot since 2013 especially because of people like Miley Cyrus. I think people understand now that she had to behave the way she did in order to really free herself from this perfect clean Disney image and the pressure that comes with that
@@eineperson3689 I'm thinking it's exactly that. Most were expecting her to maintain her artistry, but not lose her modesty. For people that reacted to feeling desensitized (like parents and younger kids), there's a line for them between being more mature and sexier, and then there's doing innuendos on live TV and OnlyFans-level type of teasing. I do feel bad for how Miley had to deal with the drama thrown onto her since it's brave of her to commit to this in order to shed that Disney skin, and it really pushed the case for young adults to not be upheld to the same "angelic" image they had in their tween years.
@@IvyAltdrachenmarina and lana were popular in 2013. electra heart came out the year prior and i think lana had a few albums out at that point. however martinez didn’t release her first album til 2015 and iirc same with halsey. tbf they both had internet fame before but skyrocketed once they debuted.
I’m 26 graduated in 2015 and don’t use TikTok. but I’d say some of the infatuation behind glamorizing 2013 is because it was right before the world really started going crazy. The world at that point was so much lighter. In a way it was the last cohort that got to experience a normal teenage lifestyle- and the fact that it was still very modern and the figures/influences still remain somewhat relevant makes it super relatable 😌 It’s the life that younger gen z cohorts never had ❤ Edit: it’s partly the rose colored glasses of being a kid for sure. Things definitely weren’t perfect (tumblr was a cesspool 😢). However I personally think social distancing/ quarantining limited teenage life in ways we’d never considered at the time. I mean these kids didn’t even have high school, they missed out on a lot.
Same age and hs graduation year. Yes and no. Indeed, this is pre-2016 election/Brexit/War in Ukraine (remember it started with the annexation of Crimea in 2014) for the Western world. For sure pre-COVID. Climate change disasters were happening but were also different. But then we were still in many global conflicts. Still lots of climate change and crazy politics and times. Insane changes to the world and our technology. Yes, COVID was a huge change, but like wasn’t calm, and if it was, it was because we were still teenagers.
I was 18/19 in 2013, and while things were a bit better back then, they were still not great. There were a lot of issues going on with the UK government making it much harder for disabled people to support themselves and thus resulting in a lot of excess deaths. Islamophobia was on the rise in Europe and went on to become a big thing in the mid-2010s. The civil war in Syria was ongoing and at the forefront of people's minds, especially because that was the year IS had established themselves in Syria, but it wasn't until 2014 that the West took more notice of them. Additionally, that was the year that the Black Lives Matter movement started, because the cop who had shot Travyon Martin was acquitted. I guess things seemed better back then because, pre-Trump and pre-Brexit, the far-right ideals that have infiltrated both US and UK politics (such as the current narratives surrounding transgender people, homophobia, racism, etc.) hadn't yet entered the mainstream consciousness. The conservatives were in power in the UK, but they were lead by a guy who was at least trying to come across as more progressive. And they were in coalition with the Liberal Democrats, who I guess attempted to temper the more extreme conservatives. Don't want to be a downer for you guys, but many of the issues we're facing today were at least present or starting to gain traction in the early-mid 2010s
Also, in 2013, Justin Bieber was banned entrance to Argentina for literally stepping on the flag, punching it and if I'm not mistaken, puking on it. Very nice fellow!
I'm argentinian and I remember this, my friends who were fans of him were trying to defend him saying stuff like "you don't get him like I do," 😂 it was hilarious because some classmate said "well you don't know him that well because he's never coming again and he will never get to know you," ... For a girl whose life was reading in Wattpad that Justin was going to spot her in the crowd... That hurt
I was 16 in 2013. I’m 26 now and the fact that 10 years have flown by just like *THAT* sends me into such a spiral, I can’t. Seeing teens today romanticize 2013-2014!! I need a moment.
Ah yes. The era of BLK water, skater skirts, knee socks and doc martens. Hanging vinyls on your wall and taking Polaroid pictures with your friends around your neighborhood at dusk. Arctic monkeys and flannels tied around the waist. they weren’t the best days but I look back on them fondly sometimes
8:58 I absolutely remember how after The Fault in our Stars came out it started a small trend of books and movies about Teens dying and also falling in love. Like I'm pretty sure there's a movie out there where Bella Thorne will melt if she touches sunlight and it's supposed to be really tragic as though that's not most people on Reddit.
I am SO GLAD that you brought up 8tracks omg. My evening routine was turning on my multicolored Christmas lights, opening up 8tracks, and scrolling through tumblr and urban outfitters for hours. No one ever talks about that website anymore
i still think the feminine outfits with the pleated black skirt and the soft grunge aesthetic is timelessly beautiful. i could fall in love with a girl who looks like this still
I graduated high school in 2014 so this was quite literally my teenage years. It's funny bc I didn't realize how much that era was romanticized till my sister and her friends who are 6 years younger than me told me how they used to think I was so cool during that time 😂 Things you missed: The Hunger games movies were everything The true takeover of instagram DMs becoming a thing Lana del Rey lyrics being everyone's captions Started from the bottom now we're here Selfies becoming a phenomenon bc of the chainsmokers Big rise in the mainstream edm Taking pictures on train tracks was HUGE Fake Flower crowns Skater skirts This was also the ~swag~ era Putting quotes on top of your pictures Snapchat stories coming out Also how much our generation romanticized the 90s 😂
Yes we loved the 90s so much! I remember being in high school wishing that I had been in high school in like 1997, I can’t believe kids nowadays are longing for 2013
@@wawaicedcoffee literally!!! I was always like I wish I was in hs in the late 90s/ early 2000s when I was younger! It's just funny to think how we all romanticize a decade or two before us 😂😂
@@franciscariveramartinez literally and Animals by Martin Garrix was always on the radio!! Skrillex / Deadmau5 / MG were what got me into raving in hs 😂😂
Bless y'all for bringing EDM to the* forefront like it was ALWAYS meant to be. (24 in 2014) I had been listening to EDM like Days Go By / Sandstorm since I was 10 and I was the "weird one" until y'all collectively* said "THIS SHIT FIRE" and suddenly my peers and siblings were finally asking me what to listen to.
I feel so old because 2013 seems like a couple of years ago to me, when it's been a decade. I'll see movies from 2013 & be like 'oh, that's pretty recent' & then realize it's really, really not.
I love you by The Neighbourhood. That is the album that defined 2013 for me. When I tell you Jesse Rutherford had me in a chokehold from eighth grade to my junior year of high school I’m not exaggerating. Pure heroine was also extremely important to my adolescence. It is so easy to romanticize that era because of how badly I wanted to be a Tumblr girl. I don’t know it just felt so wholesome.
Me but with Wipeout starting in like 2015-2016. Had to stop supporting bc of his relationship with Billie (Ik they're over but that was too much for me)
as someone in their teens during this time, i must say i miss it a lot. i'd def love a revival of 2013/14 if we exclude the terrible mental health of nearly everyone during this time 😭
I remember watching someone's TikTok (last week, actually) that explained how we are currently worse off from people that lived during the Great Depression, I think by 6 - 7 times. So you can tell them that we're living the dream lol
the moment you mentioned 8tracks it felt like i was transported back to my pre teen self sitting on my laptop in my bed making fictional character mixes…. good times
I graduated HS in 2013 and honestly I can't wait to see how the fashion of the late 2000s early 2010s gets reinterpreted. I'm especially looking forward to the neon animal print party kid Ke$ha and LMFAO -esque fashion comes back in lol. Less excited for the ironic hipster era.
I remember Cassandra Clare being huge! Clockwork Princess came out in 2013 and I was so horrified by something implied to have happened that I shrieked and threw the book so hard it dented my wall. To this day, the only time I've ever done that lol.
Can we pls talk about the 2013 “I customized my Tumblr blog theme” to the 2023 “I am a girlie in the Tech Industry/in Computer Science” pipeline???? I OWE MY CAREER TO TUMBLR 😭😭😭
i miss my silly little tumblr full of sad pale nature photos, fake deep anime gifs, and cute pixel art... it actually made me so happy. barely any human interaction, just wordless reblogs and a collection of all the things i found aesthetically pleasing. i genuinely romanticize this part of 2013 cuz it gives me such a warm feeling lol
another album that released in 2013 that no one could be normal about: SAVE ROCK AND ROLL by Fall Out Boy! it was their big return after a 4 year hiatus, and had a whole music video series where the lead singer became a tumblr sexyman for a hot second there. am i writing this comment still crying after the fall out boy concert last night? YES. YES I AM OKAY. I CONTAIN MULTITUDES.
I remember the hype, it was such a edgy year imo, everyone definitely had a darker vibe. For me it was this album, AM, love lust faith + dreams by 30STM and Paramore.
Early 2010s pop culture felt particularly fun and youthful to me. It was also so ugly and commercial, but I kinda miss it lol. I remember when 8tracks went down, I was absolutely devastated
I see a vast difference in how things are now. I think this era was so definitive because the trend cycles weren't so quick and cut short whereas today, with short form content like tik tok and insta reels and extremely curated feeds and algorithms, nothing we have as a culture gets to have such a standing moment and is as universal of an experience.
What's cute and funny to me is teens of now asking me all wide-eyed and impressed to tell them stories about how cool it was to grow up in the 2000s and live through those subcultures. I'm like girl even at the time I had many moments I wished I was a kid in the 'better' 1990s or even the 1960s instead. Every generation struggles with it's own teen culture.
Anyone here was in the Kpop fandom back then? Remember when EXO and BAP were fighting tooth and nails to get this award and Busker Busker won???? It was a moment in pop history omg
My core memory from 2013 (I was 21) was taking a shuttle bus from my college campus to a bar downtown while Thrift Shop by Macklemore BLARED and every single person on the bus was shouting the lyrics at the top of their lungs.
2013 was an iconic year for me. I think I remember it better than all the other years of my life. For me, it was the year I graduated, saw 5sos and 1D in concert, promptly stopped stanning 1D and dived fully into Kpop, then moved to California.
One of my core memories is from middle school around this time when they had an anti bullying/s*icide awareness assembly featuring presenters in their early to mid twenties dancing around the gym to “what does the fox say” to hype everyone up
I was born at an unfortunate time where during the 2013 tumblr era I was “too young” to fully experience it as I wasn’t a teen yet, but now that there’s a resurgence, I’m now “too old” to experience it because I’m not a teen anymore
I feel the same about the late 90s/early 2000s (I was 20 in 2013). I think it's because when we were kids and preteens we had these expectations about the near future, that we were going to experience the same stuff older acquaintances were experiencing at that moment. But when we were at that age the world had already changed so much that it was impossible to have those experiences. It's bittersweet
the thing about 2013 music is that it was so iconic - it doesn't mean we had better music, but i feel it was the perfect mixture of messy pop and catchy,
As an Arctic Monkeys fan that started listening to them because of the AM album, I am "sad" that almost everyone only mentions this album. Arctic Monkeys have so many different albums and they reinvent themselves in every album they release. Their latest album is more of a lounge pop album, very different from AM. My favourite album is Humbug, which is more hard rock.
yes, they're quite diverse. my fave lately is an album with a smoking man on cover image cuz i will never remember the full name💀 also, i'm really sorry for the people who don't know about tlsp
@@godzdead lolllll you perfectly described Whatever people say that I am that's what I'm not (I had to look up the name to write it now). They have a song for every mood and I love it. And tlsp>>everything else
the only thing that has aged well for me since being a preteen on tumblr in 2013 is lorde's pure heroine and that's it. but you did unfortunately hit every point omg
I wanted to buy Wreck this Journal so badly, but as a poor tween I never did. 10 years later, as an adult with money, I am looking around the bookstore and I find it. The amount of self-control I had to use to put that thing back on the shelf 💀
I was 19 and on tumblr in 2013 and firmly believed that pop culture had reached its end game so to speak lmao. Now looking back it seems like a completely different world and while there were a lot of hits we had just as many misses
can't believe i'm living in a timeline where my preteen era is romanticized. back in 2013-2014 i was too busy watching icarly, btr, victorious, etc and *gasp* discovering the world of wattpad fanfiction lmao
The term "2013 culture" is literally my manchurian candidate trigger word where instead of turning into a super spy sleeper agent assassin I just turn into the most obnoxious teen version of myself and start chainsmoking again because oh my lord 2013 was something.
I love this comment, basically I'm picturing this happen like someone's hair slowly moving into a super deep side part and turning pastel purple while their jeans shrink to stretchy skinny jeans and their denim jacket gets two sizes too big while cigarettes just appear in their hands.
I can't believe I was 13 during that time. God I was so into One Direction. Grade 7 was the best time of my life hands down. What I would do to go back to that 😔
It’s weird how ppl know him now than the way I knew him mans was a menace has he ever addrsssed anything esp since idubbz have im jus genuinely curious 💀💀💀
@@thot-3433he hasn’t whatsoever its crazy. i mean he’s barely talked about filthy frank in interviews from the past few years but i think 88rising did a good job of reinventing his image so people could just inevitably separate him from it. plus joji himself got rlly sick with stress induced seizures during his youtube career and that was the main reason he stopped filthy frank so i doubt he likes talking about it at all. still think an apology is warranted to some extent but it’ll never happen at this rate unless people really tried to cancel him or something lmao
2011-2015 was my the 1975 tumblr era. I miss it so much. Definitely less dangerous than any social media today because we were all anonymous and treated is as our diary. We were all just chilling listening to Taylor and 1D.
I screamed when I saw "wreck this journal." 😂 I totally forgot about this sh**. Like, what the f was that. I just remember buying it thinking it was so cool and then abandoning it like every other journal. I never thought anyone would do the work to finish that thing. Also, the warning at the beginning of the book took me back to dark teenage times.
2013 was an excellent year for movies and music. We had Pure Heroine, AM, ARTPOP, The 20/20 Experience, Random Access Memories, Acid Rap, Long Live A$AP, etc. We had Fruitvale Station, This is the End, The Wolf of Wall Street, Before Midnight, The Bling Ring, Gravity, Prisoners, Don Jon, her, etc. I was 21 and living for all of it.
I was a few years older and wasn't that into any of the music, but I agree on the films; lots of stuff that wouldn't get made today, or if it was, would be sorely underfunded and dumped on streaming.
I actually was a Tumblr obsessed teen back then and I graduated in 2014. I honestly kind of miss it even though high school was not a good time for me. I much prefer the fashion and social media style back then to today.
I’m having an existential crisis… 10 years?? I was 16 and it feels like it was yesterday. And I did love 8tracks. My playlists actually gained some attention. Kinda bummed they didn’t grow like Spotify due to a copyright issue 😢
I was a pre-teen during 2013, and was a lurker on tumblr and pop culture history during this time (I read the popular books but pretended I didn't because bullying, was vaugely aware of big music moments/artists but pretended I didn't because strict parents). It was a weird time.
i just started revisiting my 8tracks and copying the playlists i had made 10 years ago onto my spotify for nostalgic purposes. it honestly rips. i loved that era. im 30 and i STILL MISS IT
Ah yes. The “Galaxy Snapchat Dogface Era. In which every single RU-vidr thought it necessary to Draw their Life, only to thank us subscribers for being “part of the journey”. What the hell are you talking about? I clicked on one video! I’m not “part of the journey”. Anyhow, I was only in middle school then, and I didn’t quite know much about it. But I did hear concern amongst suburban moms about all those newfangled “challenges” on the Internet.
Loved this deep dive! As someone who was 14/15 in 2013, I don’t miss it at all 💀 we are all SO DEPRESSED for likes (and a lot of us just genuinely depressed). I remember being a part of 1 or 2 fandoms. What a time…For example, I was a part of the IM5 fandom and had to delete Twitter eventually bc it was TOO MUCH DRAMA! I don’t know what we were going through 😂
Can't forget about Tyler the Creator's Wolf and Earl Sweatshirt's Doris coming out that year too, truly iconic career defining albums for the both of them
I'm 26 years old and I myself have been nostalgic for 2013-2014 as of late. that was an emotional and definitive year for me personally. those were the days.
As a 6 year old in 2013, the most groundbreaking thing at the time for me was the release of frozen. It’s honestly crazy how unaware of trends and pop culture I was as a child while my now 7 year old sister sings TikTok songs.
I was 6 in 2013 as well and although I’m still young, I feel bad for the next generation who don’t get the experience of 2013 pop music and pop culture but rather tiktok music.
no same 😭 my dad took me to see frozen when it came out then I went on to become someone who used scratch all the time and did fan stuff for doctor who(which I watched with my parents) before going on to FNAF and Undertale lol
2013 I was in the trenches during the first Stan wars between little monsters and Katy cats. I remember going to bat for everything Gaga did that year. Gaga may have lost that battle but she won the war.
2013 was a wild year for pop music. ARTPOP was definitely my favorite out of all of them. Being a gay 21 year old when that album came out? I was only living.
@@johnoates3791 oh my god I can only imagine. As a 19yo bisexual guy who started listening to Gaga a year ago and is now OBSESSED with Artpop I can only imagine the power of being queer at those periods of time musically speaking
HELP, I need the in-depth tea for this. I thought Katy and Lady Gaga were nice to each other all the time. I was still a Swiftie, Paramore, Miranda, and Alicia Keys stan then so didn't care much for the super main pop artists at the time.
@@aaliyahfoster2705 I think it was really just more so fans going at each other fighting over whose album would be bigger, I don't think Katy and Gaga themselves ever had any beef as far as I remember.
This is quite an accomplishment. I was 17 in 2013 and I cannot remember any artists from 2003 who remained relevant and had singles charting easily during 2013. The only person I can think of is Pink, but even she was not in the level of popularity that Taylor Swift is to young girls today. Everyone else in 2013 was brand new. In fact, my 17 year old self would've called any artist from the 2003 "old" and "washed up" lol. Taylor is really killing it.
I was 22-23 in 2013 and it was actually the best year of my life. I also discovered that many people more or less my age feel the same. About 2013 in particular. So I am indeed happy I was, if not a teenager, but still an impressionably young person back then.
What a blast to the past...I still can't believe I was in high school ten years ago. It just doesn't seem like it's been that long to be a historical want. Except for vine... That app slapped. *edit two seconds later* I remember I was doing homework and hearing down the hall "WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY?!" My mom discovered that song at least two months after it got released.
I just relived my middle school times with one single video, wouldn't wanna go back to it tho, but gotta say that the aesthetics of back then were quite funny, unserious, and honestly brought me a little bit of joy to look back at now. They were cringey as hell but they were probably simpler yet unhinged and unapologetic compared to internet pop culture now
2013-2014 was an amazing era for alternative and pop punk music! I think when people say that music was better then, they actually mean the alt scene and not whatever was on the mainstream charts.
As a 2000’s teenager, I hate you for this comment. While there were some decent albums (mostly by older bands), pop punk got all super depressing and too serious and everyone started singing in an annoying, over exaggerated interpretation of Tom Delong’s drawl, and the traditional upbeat pop punk sound was gone. And no I don’t actually hate you for this. I just really hate 2010’s pop punk minus State Champs and Neck Deep
@@kurtisdelonge3372 ok Kurtis Delonge the hostility is so uncalled for lmao, breathe 🤣 that may be what you think but this kind of music helped so many teens at this time through their tough formative years. I was part of that scene when I was like 14 and lots of us even today say that 2013-2015 were like golden eras for us. It may not apply to YOU SPECIFICALLY but you don’t gotta hate on me for that lmao??
@@kurtisdelonge3372 I understand that we are from different generations, you were a teen in the 2000s and that’s when I was born. I was talking about people who were teens in 2013-2014 like me, so from the beginning you were not the target audience for this tweet
I was at this concert in Belgium last November and the singer (we're both 24) covered JT's Mirrors and I was singing my heart out whilst the rest of the audience was dead silent because they didn't know the song and we were looking at each other like 'well we're getting old.. this is awkward'. I was so shocked that song is iconic.
I was a freshman in 2013 and i remember quite well the chokehold that Born to Die and Electra Heart had on 14yr olds on tumblr (i was one of them, team EH tho)
I graduated in 2013, and for my area it was "swag" (people would say it for EVERYTHING, and it took so long to die😭), "deuces", and "YOLO" unironically
