Defining Moments of the Decade: WTF, 2010s

Bug’s Two Cents

For many of us, this decade has been a rollercoaster of questionable fashion choices (this one’s for you, scene kids and hipsters), major transitions, and self-discovery amidst sociopolitical turbulence.

Yes, while I’m sure we’re all sick of the decade recaps at this point, this article took… A lot longer to write than I anticipated.

But there’s still a lot I didn’t mention: the Occupy Wall Street movement, ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, each state that passed recreational or medicinal cannabis legislation following Colorado and Washington, and many, many other major events.

However, in writing this article, I realized this decade was… Well, a shitshow, to be frank.

Yet, we’ve prevailed. While there’s still much to be done, we’ve grown stronger because of these challenges, especially in terms of fostering a more accepting attitude towards those who’ve been oppressed for centuries.

Here’s to 2020,
