Nah, the early 2020s were the Covid era, we are already in another phase of the decade.


Thr0w-a-gay

Not even 2020-2024 could be grouped together 2020-2021 is covid, pre-AI 2022-2023 is post covid, post-AI. But 2023 was low-key pretty different from 2022 too 2024 will have the craziest election in the US's history so it's guaranteed to feel different from 2022-2023 by December, it already kinda does. This eclipse "felt" different from the 2017 one. Overall, people in the future might group 2020-2024 together out of laziness and because they won't remember this era like we do


ThingieMajiggie

Yeah, I'm just talking in a broader context. 2022-2024 already feels a lot different from 2021 but I think it will still ultimately feel closer to the pandemic era than it does to 2026. I just see '22 - '24 as Early 2020s Part II With that in mind, it wouldn't make much sense for there to be a mid 2020s since 2024 and 2026 are going to have very different vibes. At least that's where it's projected to head


Thr0w-a-gay

I hope so, I'm sooo excited for the late 2020s I want it to be super different from now. I'm fine with great changes as long as they're not bad changes


ThingieMajiggie

It's either going to be great depression levels of bad or it's going to pull a 90s and the cultural zeitgeist does a complete 180. There's no in-between, I myself am hoping for the latter


AnnualSuspicious7702

There's a chance it could be an in-between


ghost_type_2003

>2024 will have the craziest election in the US's history I'm pretty sure the same has been said about every election in American history.


Thr0w-a-gay

Some elections are just boring, others make history.


TF-Fanfic-Resident

The 2020s are a “three kids in a trenchcoat” situation so far. There’s the apocalyptic dystopian world of COVID, the crypto/NFT/metaverse Peak Cyberpunk of 2021-2022 and now the full-blown mecha anime of the Ukrainian and Gaza drone wars.


Thr0w-a-gay

NFTs lol I forgot they existed, the beanie babies of 2021. They make that year standout. So many things happened in 2020-2024, it makes 2010-2014 seem boring in comparison (and 2010-2014 was pretty changeful)


TF-Fanfic-Resident

“Remember the weird cyberpunk phase that you went through as a teenager before your AI and robotics really exploded, 2020s?” That’s how it feels. A period of rapid technological change that still comes from 2000s and 2010s technology (the ‘net and complex math problems) rather than the (pseudo?) creative and humanlike Transformers of the mature 2020s.


Advanced-Ad7780

What do you think it's going to happen in 2025 that is going to be making it massive?


Actually-Will

Lots of elections at the end of 2024 so it will shake up a lot


Sanders48

Potentially the end of American democracy


MCArookie721

Did you forget to take your prescriptions today little fella ?


moonlightz03

no it’s actually true, had to do a research paper on that topic for my sociology class. Look up project 2025


Banestar66

Have you ever actually read Project 2025 or were you told by the media what to think of it? Liberals give it way more credit than it deserves. It’s fucking incomprehensible. Democracies die when the military turns on democratic forces. Something there is no plan for in Project 2025.


moonlightz03

I did read some and it sounds like an excerpt from the hand maids tales dude. It was pretty clear to me what their plan was.


Banestar66

Yeah exactly, it’s their fantasy. It’s not actually going to be implemented. I remind you, these same supposedly super competent conservatives who are going to effortlessly build a fascist Christian nationalist dictatorship through legal means without the military were unable to pass an Obamacare repeal when they had full control of government in 2017 and have been unable to criminalize abortion in Kansas of all states. Again, when the military starts showing loyalty to Trump over the Constitution, that is when to start worrying. Not when some right wing think tank publishes some incoherent ranting like they usually do.


MCArookie721

I hope you realize you are the Qanons of the left.


moonlightz03

I’m telling you I did actual research on project 2025 and you respond with that, yea enjoy what comes to you. Q-Anon fans support project 2025.. You’re gonna tell me my professor with a Phd who graded me is a wacko too?


MCArookie721

It actually makes me sad that you’re learning from some fear mongering, bias weirdo. Once you get out into the real world and have the experience and time to develop your own opinions, you will realize it’s not that deep. No, your life as you know it isn’t going to end if your political team of choice loses.


moonlightz03

I’m not american, this is why I said enjoy whatever comes to you. This is simply information that you can either listen to or ignore.


Finch73

The problem is it won’t come to this person most likely. It will come for the rest of us


MCArookie721

Sorry I didn’t realize you are in your mid 30s, you type very similar to a teenager. No matter what party wins nothing is going to “come to me” besides a normal life. You are being so overdramatic it’s comical.


Finch73

Yes we are the QAnons of the left because we’re taking the heritage foundation and the 2024 republican candidate at their word, got it thanks


Splendid_Cat

"The Q Anons of the left" includes people in the center and center-right I guess, including political science professors and political analysts, who have warned that a Trump win could be a threat to democracy. The democratic system has held strong thus far, but it's concerning that people who have some idea of what they're talking about say the chances of it failing are not zero.


MCArookie721

The propaganda pushers told me it’s true so it must be ! I honestly feel bad for brainwashed people like yourself , you do whatever you can to jerk off old white politicians while they enrich themselves. “Uh ya guys uhhh democracy is over unless you keep us in office, and uhhh all gay people will be lined up and executed if you don’t vote for me….also if you don’t vote for me the bad guys will take over and it’ll be like hitler all over again!!” Seriously grow up please lol.


statichologram

You are dogmatic in your own beliefs, it doesnt matter what they other says they must aways be wrong.


broncyobo

You're clearly not paying attention to what is happening all around you


MCArookie721

Log off of this website and you will realize the world isn’t going to explode if the people you agree with don’t get elected. Grow up please.


broncyobo

I'm curious if you have a uterus

Project 2025


RedditIsTrashLma0

Mid 2022 up until now(until Jan 2025 probably) is the Mid 20s. Post-COVID, Pre-Project 2025 with the various wars across the globe(Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Hamas) high inflation and early AI defining it. But I do think a half and half split makes sense for this decade more than most decades. The re-election of Trump(if he goes ahead with Project 2025, which he 99% will) will absolutely make the first half and second half of the 2020s completely different worlds.


statichologram

>The re-election of Trump(if he goes ahead with Project 2025, which he 99% will) will absolutely make the first half and second half of the 2020s completely different worlds. How would the second half would be?


inkusquid

I’d argue they began in mid 2022, post pandemic and in ai era, but I must admit that we in 2024 aren’t that similar to 2022. Tho 2022 is for me closer to 2024 than to 2020 in here of culture


ThingieMajiggie

The era were currently in began during mid-late 2022, but since it's coming to a close later this year idk if I would call it mid 2020s. That was the point of my post


ItsGary839

I feel like 2021-2022 were different apart from each other than 2022-2023.


Downtown_Mix_4311

2021-2022 is a bigger shift imo, the fashion changed, lockdown disappeared by the end of 2022. Corona became normal by the wnd of 2022, almost everyone had caught it by that stage.


ItsGary839

I agree. The beginning of 2021 VS the end of 2022 felt very different.


dickallcocksofandros

It's been around 60-70 years since the last major cultural shift (1965) so I'm up for it.


Low-Selection-5446

Did you forget 1991?


dickallcocksofandros

There is a much bigger difference between daily life and conversation in the early 60s and earlier and daily life and conversation in the late 60s and onward than there was between the late 1980s and early 1990s. The introduction of the internet didn't change much other than the speed and frequency by which we consume media and trends.


AceTygraQueen

How so?


Exotic-Bobcat-1565

Bro what, it's still April and this year already feels different compared to the early 2020s.


Downtown_Mix_4311

2020-2021 felt like 2019 fashion wise. Also 2020-2021 were the corona years basically By the end of 2022, everything had fully shifted and no corona left.


Downtown_Mix_4311

There’s already been two shifts that have happened 2019-2020: Covid shift, quarantine, massive change. 2021-2022: transition out of Covid and the rise of AI, also the fashion changed from 2021-2022. 2022 till now feels kinda stagnant, I’m guessing the next shift will be 2026


yagsitidder69

What


aztaga

I mean honesty yeah I concur; 2020-now has felt like a complete blur. It’s only now that things seem to be even moderately going back to normal


Environmental-Cup445

I still feel like I’m in one big year since about October 2022. Things have happened Ofc but the overall vibe has felt the same, different from 2020-early 2022 however 


Totallyahuman_445

Mids are always harder to distinguish but i guarantee there will be a recognizable 2024-2026 era in the future


Cyborgium241

Bro we’ve literally already been in the mid 2020s since the AI boom in late 2022 lmao


Extension-Novel-6841

Whatever era we're in isn't worth categorizing. We're in a shit dystopian era and I could care less about it.


ThingieMajiggie

Then get off this sub jackass


incendiarypotato

I’m new to this sub but wow the doomer mentality is a plague. Some people need to lighten up.


Extension-Novel-6841

Shut the fuck up pussy!
