3..2..1.. Happy New Year! Welcome to 2013.

I think we could all use a break from 2020, so let's take a look back at a simpler time.

Vine

Gifer

Vine was pretty much the modern day TikTok, only with shorter videos and a focus on comedy. If you don't know what the man is saying in the above gif, did you even have vine?

"Thrift Shop"

Billboard

According to the Billboard Hot 100, the top song of 2013 was "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Honestly, this song is still a bop.

If you really wanna get into the feel of 2013, Spotify has a playlist of all the top hits.

The Harlem Shake

Cuepoint

If you don't recall, The Harlem Shake was a trend where people would dress in costume, and dance to "Harlem Shake" by Baauer. As a middle schooler during this time, I unfortunately have plenty of embarrassing videos of me participating in this meme.

Miley Cyrus's VMAs Performance

RollingStone

Miley Cyrus made pop culture history by twerking on stage during her VMAs performance with Robin Thicke. After flying under the radar for a few years when Hannah Montana ended, Miley stepped back into the spotlight in a big way. Today, twerking is more widely accepted, especially on TikTok, and is far less taboo.

What Does The Fox Say?

Youtube

Does it say "Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!"? "Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!"? "Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!"?

We may never know.

"Selfie"

MemeMaker

Remember when everyone was obsessed with selfies? 2013 was the year "selfie" was added to the dictionary; How wonderful.
