Any generations cut off for "good years" is determined heavily by the "and then everything got worse" event.
For zoomers, even if the oldest were old enough to drink. That is objectively corona

im always surprised on why everyone (normalfags and zoomers) proclaim the 2010's was peak? i thought that decade was just lame to live through. 2007 showed signs of the end but i believe 2012 is where it really went to shit.

You need to understand something about nostalgia. A lot of the time it's not about how good the things were, it's about how things were good.
So, we're both netizens, what do we associate with the years 2012-2013? The rise of social media and the beginning of the slow death of the online outsider culture, the mass monetization of internet culture and the whole thing becoming a rat race, memes becoming less natural because now there is both a profit incentive and an attention whoring incentive, the fun of old decentralized Xenforo and BB fanboards slowly dying for the sake of massive sites like Reddit where once again everything feels incentivized for likes if not money.
In the context of the internet, yeah, the 2010s were a decline where online culture went to absolute shit. If you were a frequent internet user it all sucked?
Outside of that? You had the usual political chaos but the economy slowly stabilized after the recession, the companies weren't nearly as powerful as they'd get, there was a sense of optimism that things would get better and then >>152113500
Three global recessions. No new IPs everything is a reboot now, you have to pay for a million streaming services when the early 10s were DEFINED by everything being on Netflix
