What felt like your last nostalgic year?

For me it was probably 2011 (maybe even 2009 honestly). It felt like there was cultural shift around 2012-2013.

A lot of music, movies, video games, and shows that have come out since then felt like they could have come out now. Tech hasn’t really advanced much since then (at least not like the 2000s or 90s). Even music has felt somewhat similar since 2012 with many of the same artists. What has changed is meme culture and online celebrities (as they discuss more serious topics)

This is not complaining I have great fondness for years like 2015 and even 2022.
