I was watching Maleficient and I went to the bathroom and girls who had watched fault in our stars were in there crying. Meanwhile, I thought John Green intended it all to be satire because “okay? okay”…HOW IS THAT NOT SATIRE? Part of me still believes it was satire and he’s in too deep and too nice to tell his dedicated fan base of dramatic preteens that he meant everything ironically to critique teenage dramatics lol.
no fr because the more I think about it the more messed up it is that we’ve all individually had to move on from growing up with these genuinely INSANE things without getting proper closure… it needs discussing
after the cup song came out there was always at least one girl in every talent competition that would recreate that scene and then act like pitch perfect wasn't a multi million dollar movie
I've never been on Tumblr so when you're casually explaining the mechanisms of like the functions and how things happen on there my mind is doing mental gymnastics trying to follow lol
It was a time to be alive. There's still not a website that compares to the beauty of Tumblr (PRE-YAHOO PURCHASE) that is when the app died and everyone went to Twitter... Sorry, X*.
Okay. But one thing you forgot was the Gotye/Fun. Craze (AKA when Somebody that I Used to Know and We Are Young took over radio stations everywhere in the middle of 2012). Where would you rank that craze on your list?
What a crazy time I have so much nostalgia for the early 2010s, love to see another South Asian woman from the same generation reflect on all these pop culture things from our childhood ❤️ Love your videos so much I always look forward to them!! Also your tapestry is my laptop case we have great taste 🤌🏾
omg you mentioned so many nostalgic things! but i gotta know -- where would you but the moustache craze in 2012? it was absolutely everywhere and i was so obsessed with it. i had a whole pinterest board with moustache items i wanted to buy
I graduated high school in 2012 and I had way too much time on my hands, so naturally I spent it all on the Internet. All of those events are way too ingrained in my brain. Loki edited to look like he's singing Call Me Maybe is what comes to my mind immediately when I think of 2012 Tumblr and is a core memory for me. I truly miss early 2010s TH-cam, just people sitting in front of their cameras, talking, physically showing things they are talking about, not stressed out about YT algorithm. I know channels like that still very much exist, but chances of us coming across them are extremely slim. Okay, but What Does the Fox Say seriously ruled though. Such a banger and just so inoffensive.
I was a bit younger in 2012-2013 in elementary school but I both remember all of it and learned new things. Absolutely killed it. You always do. Fantastic job. Research was perfect and timing was wonderful. Bravo!!
I was waiting for you to bring up the Cup song. Fuck that song. Also, weird these things don't feel like they happened that long ago. 2012-2013 was my freshman year in high school and I remember all of the mentioned pop culture moments. These days I have to stop and think something happened six months ago or 2 years ago, pop culture or otherwise.
i missed most of these moments by like a year or so, and i only remember these things being talked about afterwards bc at the time they were happening, my english level was not sufficient to follow or understand most of them 😂 however, call me maybe transcended all language and has been permanently ingrained in my brain
I’m so excited by the time period chosen because I’d like to forget bits of it. In hindsight, I should’ve started a TH-cam channel or thought of a business idea.
The Mishapocalyse was truly a dark time. As someone who has never watched Supernatural it annoyed me so much! I love Doctor Who but I was never a part of SuperWhoLock. I justwanted to chill on tumblr and these idiots ruined my day, it seemed to go on for weeks!
oh i love love LOVE when you mentioned the call me maybe video featuring every person ever because it truly was SO iconic. however i remember years later trying to find it on youtube and it had been taken down, every version original or reuploaded, which was so devastating LMAO. no idea if it lingers anywhere as i havent tried looking... but i think we know what i'll be doing after this video 🤭
Loved this video! I graduated high school in 2012 but I was definitely on tumblr. Not so much with the Disney stuff though lol, my Disney era was in the early 2000s
Gangnam Style just brings back memories of my grade 8 Math/English teacher who spent 3/4 of classes streaming youtube videos. That was THE song he'd play at the start of every class for weeks. Had us crowd the library with it blasting as part of his rivalry with the librarian. Very much "Needed to move on Faster" tier
Hello? I remember like all of these, had no idea 2012 pop culture was so iconic haha Loved this deep dive and will definitely save if for future references and feeling nostalgic! Also love to have grown up in an americanized country so i can collectively relate to these with a bunch of people 🫶🏼
I graduated from HS in 2013. At our prom, we did the Harlem shake and what does the fox say definitely played and everyone lost their shitttt 😂😂😂😂 2013 was unhinged asf but I still look back on it fondly 😂
I was also distraught when the Jonas Brothers broke up. And you have to make a video on early 2010's TH-camrs because I completely forgot about Connor Franta until you just mentioned him.
i was on a school trip to I think the British museum (or some other museum in London) on 12/12/12 and I just remember everyone huddling with their friends as it got to 12:12 because apparently that was the time that the world was going to end? It is just potentially the most normal memory I have from school, everyone really came together (we were all 13/14 at the time)
its so funny how theres this wave of nostalgia going around recently, just a few weeks ago i randomly remembered justgirlythings, looked them up and actually found the tumblr blog alive and well! The blogger came out as a lesbian (or bi?? cant remember) and has made some gay posts in the classical justgirlythings format, so thats nice :-D
Re: Wrecking ball I was a freshman in Arts School when the video was released, and my school was built like a panopticon. My friends and I really wanted someone to put a wrecking ball in the middle so we could undress and swing on it.
i was in elementary during this time and a class in my grade (thankfully not mine) literally did a performance of what does the fox say…on stage in front the whole school and their parents…yeah it was bad
Now imagine Cole sprouse being your first celeb crush from when you're like 10 and years later being so happy that he was just a tumblr person like yourself... the BETRAYAL i felt that day wow #peasant
my claim to fame is that i grew up one street away from harry styles and this one day in 2012 on my way to school i saw harry and taylor walking down the street. there was a chinese restaurant near our houses and there used to be pictures of harry and taylor, cristiano ronaldo, and jordan henderson on the walls.
As someone who loves Vlogbrothers content, I have to agree with you about John Green lol. When I was 14, I literally read TFiOS 4 TIMES because I thought it was amazing. I received the Croatian language edition when I was in college and wanted to practice my Croatian reading with it, but I couldn't get more than a few chapters in before I died of cringe. That was the same year Turtles All the Way Down came out and after reading that I realized his books were never good. Love his videos and podcast, but his writing is a no from me (Hank's books are incredible, though!)
It’s not that, you just grew up. Those are YA books. I can’t read almost anything today that I read when I was 14. We change, we grow up. It’s like saying children’s cartoons are bad. Well, now I think so, but when I was a children I loved them. (I’m saying this as someone who never even loved JG’s books, I was a bit too old for them)
@sadstrawberrygirl0 That's not true at all for me! Good YA content isn't only good for people in that age group. I don't usually read YA books anymore, but I recently read one in a similar genre to John Green's and really enjoyed it!
Looking for Alaska which was his first book is amazing and really stood the test of time if you ask me. Ofc it has some cringey parts, it’s a YA book, but it was still amazing. I’d read it again at 22 🤷♀️
Okay but try Looking for Alaska, I’m not a huge fan of john green’s books(luv him a a person) but it’s one of my favorite books of all time. def his best book by far
honestly i was reflecting on Miley in the early 2010s and like..... the twerking and wearing revealing outfits were really not a big deal, especially when you consider that she was in her early 20s, like there are a ton of people in their early 20s who experiment with sexuality and stuff like that so it was completely okay for her to do that..... I don't know if "the times were different" or if it was just conservative moms complaining who made everyone think it was not okay but.... for a young person in her early 20s it was completely normal to act as if she's not 14 anymore, idk
Vine was my life omg, I will still watch vine compilations if I'm having a bad day. Also I have no idea why people wanted to suffer with the cinnamon challenge, like what was 2013.
I was 7-8 years old during this time period😂 so I don’t remember everything on this list, but it def brings back some memories❤ I loved 1D, Justin Bieber, and Katy Perry
Taylor was in a snowmobile accident and it was rumored that Harry was the one driving it or he was with her when she got in the accident. The accident and that it was with an ex is confirmed, we just don’t know which one, but then out of the woods came out so that’s why people think it was Harry.
I agree with most of these but have you noticed that there’s ads in the current year that reference ‘what does the fox say’ so it should go in we should’ve moved on from this faster
The fact the people in the movie actually applauded when Hazel and Augustus kissed each other in the anne frank house
FOR REAL
I want to say it was a product of its time, but that really is a wild moment regardless 😅

@@MoMo-rx4zr Nah, in the context it's really genuine and heartfelt. There is absolutely no irony, just raw teenage feelings
using raw flour instead of cinnamon for the cinnamon challenge is so chaotic
thank you 🫡
@@opiniyon absolutely unhinged but I love it
Hey guys I can’t find the cinnamon powder but I do have concrete powder 😃😃😃
you’re giving voice to a generation that needs to reflect on these things from the 2010s 😭
no fr because the more I think about it the more messed up it is that we’ve all individually had to move on from growing up with these genuinely INSANE things without getting proper closure… it needs discussing
I appreciate that you read the lyrics to Cola but not a 50 Shades of Grey passage...respect
i have my limits
no thumbs?
after the cup song came out there was always at least one girl in every talent competition that would recreate that scene and then act like pitch perfect wasn't a multi million dollar movie
I need a 2014-2015 version of this!
Okay I understand you not wanting to read E.L. James out loud but I would also pay so much money for you to read audiobooks. Your voice is so calming
if anyone wants to pay me to read audiobooks, I'll do it

It genuinely shocks me when I'm reminded that you only have 20k subscribers, your videos are so top notch
That’s still good, it’s hard to blow up on here
You have currated and verbalized my exact middle school experience. Thank you!
You are actually my new fav comfort youruber, YOU ARE SO UNDERRATED
awww thank you!!

oh my god cole's tumblr account really sends me back
Omg I was a freshman in college during this era and you unlocked so many memories. I'd love to watch a video about TH-camrs from these years, too!
What a crazy time I have so much nostalgia for the early 2010s, love to see another South Asian woman from the same generation reflect on all these pop culture things from our childhood ❤️
Love your videos so much I always look forward to them!! Also your tapestry is my laptop case we have great taste 🤌🏾
The phenomenon of Planking was too much, no one was safe.

Shinee at the scene of the crime wasnt expecting that lmfaoo
shinee's baccccc
Taylor Swift wearing that t shirt “a couple years ago” bestie almost ten years ago we are old
idk why but looking back on it, 2013-2014 felt like the longest years of my life.
I graduated high school in 2012 and I had way too much time on my hands, so naturally I spent it all on the Internet. All of those events are way too ingrained in my brain.

I have three doctor appointments today but being early to your video cured me.
Surprised kony 2012 didn’t make the list
The way I gasped and had a panicked shiver come up my spine when she even mentioned “What Does the Fox Say” OOF
I was 18/19 at this time, also chronically on tumblr, and this is bringing back so many memories
tbh the best part of just girly things is that the og creator did end up coming out as a lesbian, the true tumblr path
You unlocked so many memories that I had forgotten through this 😭truly an era to be remembered
i missed most of these moments by like a year or so, and i only remember these things being talked about afterwards bc at the time they were happening, my english level was not sufficient to follow or understand most of them 😂 however, call me maybe transcended all language and has been permanently ingrained in my brain

The Mishapocalyse was truly a dark time. As someone who has never watched Supernatural it annoyed me so much! I love Doctor Who but I was never a part of SuperWhoLock. I justwanted to chill on tumblr and these idiots ruined my day, it seemed to go on for weeks!
all of your opinions are so correct wow also can we please have group therapy for being way too active on tumblr in 2013
this brought back so much joy and nostalgia, the moments you chose were actually perfect!! 🥹💞 love from madrid

oh my god, that was the perfect time to get into kpop, especially shinee!
brb googling what a guffaw is.
memories UNLOCKED!! when you mentioned doge i remember a “fight” me and my friend had about which was better: doge or pepe 😭😭💀💀💀
Loved this video! I graduated high school in 2012 but I was definitely on tumblr. Not so much with the Disney stuff though lol, my Disney era was in the early 2000s

I remember having a sleepover with my friend on the day the world was supposed to end in 2012. We were both 10. We were scared to go to sleep 😂
Me being 22 in 2012 and remembering every single one of these things lol, truly what a time.
This video is such a throwbackkk I love it!
Hello? I remember like all of these, had no idea 2012 pop culture was so iconic haha
Loved this deep dive and will definitely save if for future references and feeling nostalgic! Also love to have grown up in an americanized country so i can collectively relate to these with a bunch of people 🫶🏼
i love the burn it category 😍
YESSSS SHINEE
i love your rankings they're so iconic
john green is a pretty nice person now
vine was genuinely revolutionary! and we had no idea
I still listen to Gangnam Style to this day unironically.
The doge ranking….SNUBBED she shoulda been in the top
That intro resonated with me so much more deeply than I could ever express
Loved this

13:02 this meme😂. I remember there was a papa franku video on it too😂
My brother bullied me SO much because of “my pussy taste like Pepsi cola” to my Christian parents lmaooo
I remember the Kony 2012 "movement" that plagued Tumblr
Not in the Anne Frank museum😭😭
