Most of y’all remember the year 2008, right? Hard to believe that was a decade ago. I read somewhere once that some sociologists believe that it’s harder to distinguish between, say, 2008 and 2018 than 2008 and 1998 because the ubiquity of internet and online culture has sort of melded everything together in our heads. I don’t know if that’s true, but it’s an interesting thought.
Anyway, 2008. Think back. You might be young, you get a very late start of listening to Paramore to try to impress a girl you like, but then you end up really getting into them non-ironically, which is fine because that girl has pivoted to early Katy Perry.
