IMO, compared to this early 2020s, the early 2000s were amazing. Even the 2010s were a lot better than this cursed timeline we entered.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

The 2010s might have been the high point of western civilization for decades to come. We had all the post-9/11 bs, but I still remember gay jokes being socially acceptible in my social circles and even TV in the early 2000s, which became much more fringe in the 2010s. Enshittification of internet services like Facebook was so much less advanced than in the 2020s, same for software like Windows.
Of course, the writing of what was to come was certainly on the wall (maybe not the pandemic). Kinda similar to the 1920s.
Bad time to be a New Yorker though.
