A lot of my generation(Late Millennial/Early Gen Z) see 2016 as the Golden Year where everything was perfect for us

 

Is 2016 the best or is it overrated?

 

Discuss 

It was a terrible year, no doubt, but for some reason, everyone seems to have some kind of fond memory associated with it (me included)

 

Plus, the music was amazing

Compared to the last 3 years, 2016 wasn't that bad after all. 

As a pop stan it was really exciting.

For Hip Hop stans too

No, my life kinda peaked in 2016

For the surrounding years, it was great

As a whole? it's maybe a bit overrated, I can agree

 

but it's still a Top3/5 if we be including recent years

1. Anti
2. Blonde
3. Lemonade
4. The Life of Pablo
5. 4 Your Eyez Only
6. Sept 5th
7. Still Brazy
8. Nightride
9. 24K Magic
10. Malibu
11. Jeffrey

a pretty solid year for me

meh

2018 was a better year in music for me at least

no, it was a great year

My fond memory is of 2015 and not 2016 tbh.

No, 2016 was that girl. We got Kanye, Beyoncé, Frank, Rihanna, Bruno, Ariana, The Weeknd, Drake, Solange, Usher.

i don’t even remember it tbh 

2018 >>>>

No, I loved it.

True, I guess it depends on genre preferences.

2016 is the year that produced ANTi, Starboy, This is Acting, Dua (she began to gain traction), LYWC, Glory Days, Mind of Mine, Post Malone, 4YEO, TLOB, Lady Wood, Colouring Book, Dangerous Woman etc...
 

It was a gorgeous year for music in all genres and helped usher in another gorgeous year that was 2017 (well 2017 was gorgeous before Justin hopped on that song, and that talentless lady released her one-note, try-hard album. It went downhill from there).

2016 was the beginning of our current accelerated decline politically and socioeconomically. People misremember it fondly because of that, but it's like saying the murder of Franz Ferdinand was lovely because the ensuing World War was terrible.

very non eventful year

I mean if u look at it over all u can find albums you truly enjoyed yearly

2015 was far better. 

God no it's the only ******* year that was amazing in 2010s.

 

I mean rihanna, jojo, Beyoncé, Britney.

And especially best album of all ******* time got released 

 

THE BLACK - asking Alexandria 

 

No hell no 2016 is overrated its most perfect year in music 

 

I mean pop & metalcore was perfect. After that there hasn't really been anything as good as all the releases 

I think 2016 was the last great year of an era.

 

In 2017 there was a shift and everything started declining.

 

Everything started to go too political and people became more angry and negative.

 

2016 was also the last year of Millennial pop culture. 2017 was the first year of Gen Z dominating culture and that’s one of the reasons why so many people feel nostalgic about it.
