​@@eineperson3689 For me, Miley's outrage was also understandable because of her nature before the Bangerz era. This will be a long one. She came off of Disney Channel as one of its biggest household names. She released music for them too under her own name and Hannah Montana with her songs getting regular airplay on the network during commercial breaks too and touring under Disney. Disney also signed off her Hannah character to companies standing for "family values" like Walmart, Justice, and Limited Too which touted her merch as this clean, polished, everyday girl. So when We Can't Stop came out without warning and then Wrecking Ball, she still had the conservative families and a very young children's audience (like 9-year-olds and up) from Disney still following her, and the backlash came because she was no longer a good role model for tweens and Amanda Bynes'd herself. And her other actions like appropriation, teasing to flash her teets, constantly sticking her tongue out in public as a gimmick, licking a hammer, and simulating masterb8ion in the Adore You music video brought her under more scrutiny because it traumatized kids that were subjected to it and at the same time, watched Hannah reruns that were still airing at the time she started that album cycle.

@@aaliyahfoster2705 Yeah, I just think it is fun to reflect on how upset people were that she was moving on from her Disney Era, trying to emancipate herself by making everything a little sexual on purpose. Did people seriously expect that she would forever go with the role of the perfect girl that adults assigned to her as a child without her will? Now she is just Miley Cyrus and not so connected anymore to Hannah Montana yet she is still very successful, so her plan worked. I also think if someone would move on from Disney now in a similar way people would not be so shocked anymore. I think the whole view on child stars and Disney has changed a lot since 2013 especially because of people like Miley Cyrus. I think people understand now that she had to behave the way she did in order to really free herself from this perfect clean Disney image and the pressure that comes with that

@@eineperson3689 I'm thinking it's exactly that. Most were expecting her to maintain her artistry, but not lose her modesty. For people that reacted to feeling desensitized (like parents and younger kids), there's a line for them between being more mature and sexier, and then there's doing innuendos on live TV and OnlyFans-level type of teasing. I do feel bad for how Miley had to deal with the drama thrown onto her since it's brave of her to commit to this in order to shed that Disney skin, and it really pushed the case for young adults to not be upheld to the same "angelic" image they had in their tween years.

I’m 26 graduated in 2015 and don’t use TikTok. but I’d say some of the infatuation behind glamorizing 2013 is because it was right before the world really started going crazy. The world at that point was so much lighter. In a way it was the last cohort that got to experience a normal teenage lifestyle- and the fact that it was still very modern and the figures/influences still remain somewhat relevant makes it super relatable 😌 It’s the life that younger gen z cohorts never had ❤ Edit: it’s partly the rose colored glasses of being a kid for sure. Things definitely weren’t perfect (tumblr was a cesspool 😢). However I personally think social distancing/ quarantining limited teenage life in ways we’d never considered at the time. I mean these kids didn’t even have high school, they missed out on a lot.

I was 18/19 in 2013, and while things were a bit better back then, they were still not great. There were a lot of issues going on with the UK government making it much harder for disabled people to support themselves and thus resulting in a lot of excess deaths. Islamophobia was on the rise in Europe and went on to become a big thing in the mid-2010s. The civil war in Syria was ongoing and at the forefront of people's minds, especially because that was the year IS had established themselves in Syria, but it wasn't until 2014 that the West took more notice of them. Additionally, that was the year that the Black Lives Matter movement started, because the cop who had shot Travyon Martin was acquitted. I guess things seemed better back then because, pre-Trump and pre-Brexit, the far-right ideals that have infiltrated both US and UK politics (such as the current narratives surrounding transgender people, homophobia, racism, etc.) hadn't yet entered the mainstream consciousness. The conservatives were in power in the UK, but they were lead by a guy who was at least trying to come across as more progressive. And they were in coalition with the Liberal Democrats, who I guess attempted to temper the more extreme conservatives. Don't want to be a downer for you guys, but many of the issues we're facing today were at least present or starting to gain traction in the early-mid 2010s

Ah yes. The era of BLK water, skater skirts, knee socks and doc martens. Hanging vinyls on your wall and taking Polaroid pictures with your friends around your neighborhood at dusk. Arctic monkeys and flannels tied around the waist. they weren’t the best days but I look back on them fondly sometimes

8:58 I absolutely remember how after The Fault in our Stars came out it started a small trend of books and movies about Teens dying and also falling in love. Like I'm pretty sure there's a movie out there where Bella Thorne will melt if she touches sunlight and it's supposed to be really tragic as though that's not most people on Reddit.

I graduated HS in 2013 and honestly I can't wait to see how the fashion of the late 2000s early 2010s gets reinterpreted. I'm especially looking forward to the neon animal print party kid Ke$ha and LMFAO -esque fashion comes back in lol. Less excited for the ironic hipster era.

I see a vast difference in how things are now. I think this era was so definitive because the trend cycles weren't so quick and cut short whereas today, with short form content like tik tok and insta reels and extremely curated feeds and algorithms, nothing we have as a culture gets to have such a standing moment and is as universal of an experience.

I remember Cassandra Clare being huge! Clockwork Princess came out in 2013 and I was so horrified by something implied to have happened that I shrieked and threw the book so hard it dented my wall. To this day, the only time I've ever done that lol.

I feel the same about the late 90s/early 2000s (I was 20 in 2013). I think it's because when we were kids and preteens we had these expectations about the near future, that we were going to experience the same stuff older acquaintances were experiencing at that moment. But when we were at that age the world had already changed so much that it was impossible to have those experiences. It's bittersweet

I'm like girl even at the time I had many moments I wished I was a kid in the 'better' 1990s or even the 1960s instead. Every generation struggles with it's own teen culture.

This is quite an accomplishment. I was 17 in 2013 and I cannot remember any artists from 2003 who remained relevant and had singles charting easily during 2013. The only person I can think of is Pink, but even she was not in the level of popularity that Taylor Swift is to young girls today. Everyone else in 2013 was brand new. In fact, my 17 year old self would've called any artist from the 2003 "old" and "washed up" lol. Taylor is really killing it.

I was only 12 in 2013 but I was literally praying every day for when the 2013 era of the internet would end. This feels like people romanticizing the dark ages

when you mentioned 8tracks you dug so deep into my brain…but when you showed the falling asleep with Harry playlist i audibly screamed

I was at this concert in Belgium last November and the singer (we're both 24) covered JT's Mirrors and I was singing my heart out whilst the rest of the audience was dead silent because they didn't know the song and we were looking at each other like 'well we're getting old.. this is awkward'. I was so shocked that song is iconic.

I just relived my middle school times with one single video, wouldn't wanna go back to it tho, but gotta say that the aesthetics of back then were quite funny, unserious, and honestly brought me a little bit of joy to look back at now. They were cringey as hell but they were probably simpler yet unhinged and unapologetic compared to internet pop culture now

i just started revisiting my 8tracks and copying the playlists i had made 10 years ago onto my spotify for nostalgic purposes. it honestly rips. i loved that era. im 30 and i STILL MISS IT

wreck this journal oh my god!! i found mine while moving and decided to complete it. i really like to draw so sometimes its fun to interpret the prompts your own way and have a place to be messy without worrying about your Expensive Sketchbook™ ALSO LMAOOO HATSUNE MIKU i never thought you would mention her!! i love your channel but i definitely am not your intented audience because ive been a weeaboo since 2011. but im still obsessed with your videos!! this one was so fun and nostalgic!!

I was in college 2012 -2016 and I remember so much of this. 8tracks especially made me smile. But by chance I was looking through my photos today from 2013 and considering how many questionable trends there were, I actually dressed really cute back then. I remember listening to Fever Ray, Nicole Dollanganger and Grimes like alllll the time. I still have my tumblr from that time and man, there is some *interesting* things there. I was really into like white, and snow and dolls and weird images. Kind of like a proto-girl blogger style. But it's kind of cute to look back at.

casey, your channel is SO FUN!

i wasn’t a teenager during this time, but i was 8-10 years old and at my most awkward so i do not think of these years fondly 💀 i’m 19 now and shocked that me as a literal preteen was worse than the other years

genuinely makes me feel so old seeing young people now romantise my pre-teen/teen years 😭 that being said, i do have fun making them jealous by causally sharing that i saw 5sos open for 1d back in 2013 and 2014 💪

I am SO glad this video popped up in my recommended! I was 13 in this year, and might I say, what an underrated era we were in.
