The feel of the 2010's

Compare that to Osama's crappy home video filmed in a cave.

I read that as 'Obama' for a second and was like, wait, what?

There's a lot of aesthetic appeal to military design in general. The vehicles. Playing Top Trumps as a kid loving all the crazy aircraft designs.

bartys guna cry when he reads this cos he wrote a whole book about the revolutionary, paradgim shifty music of the 2010s

The accelation of dematerialisation was a 2010s thing. It fits the decadent, drifting, disengaged feel that we have identified as the most likely distinctive feature of the decade, the thing that separates it from the 2020s. Bartycore was a result and representation of this.

barty reads dissensus obsessively and pretends he doesnt but then he'll accidentally reference some current thread. i never mention it. i choose to tactfully preserve the fiction.

Does he use the search tool to look for references to himself?

The failure of the UK in the 2010s is demonstrated by the fact that stand up comedians with names like Sean and Russell became the unaknowledged legislators of the age.

That’s because it didn’t take place. It was a non-decade. The total reality collapse was the start of the 20s.

I was in Dubai in 2011. Horrible experience all round, including this being one of the main songs played on every loudspeaker everywhere



Taxis, clubs, malls. My tormentor Ryan Seacrest was the dj on the main radio station

The Rhianna one was just as big but I kinda liked that one

When did the hiphop/trance/club crossover happen? That was more 00s? But continued well into the 10s iirc

My old man's pov is shit died around the millennium and double died around 2010.

This is brilliantly put - dying is one thing but double-dying is taking the piss.

a minor thing comparatively but uk tv comedy ran out of steam in the 2010s. partly the natural ebb and flow of things, there's not always a good crop etc, and the terrain they were working with got much more complicated, it became unclear who exactly it was acceptable to punch at, who was allowed to do the punching, and exactly how those punches could be thrown. everyone seemed to pull back a bit. part of the 2010s structure of feeling in the UK was for sure a destabilisation of or more accurately a sharp pulling back of what you could joke about. totally separately, and unprovably, people got less funny as they spent more time on the internet and less time bored together.

Everything about this song and video is very 2010s to me
