An easy pick for me but it captures the last decade so well. Lincoln looking at the noose/halo is what sends this one over from being just a funny picture into being genuine art. It should be in a gallery. It should be in the entryway to the White House.

Feel like this exemplifies the pre-trump 2010s best

completely unacceptable that there are so many words in this picture and none of them are "SWAG" or "YOLO."

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 39 points 8 months ago

Yeah, that's a pretty good summary of the 2000 and late period

It evolved from Ed Hardy shirts in the 2000s to the party rock aesthetic in the early 2010s

Late 2000s to before GamerGate

please stop, don't remind me of this

edit: damn now I'm missing drinking vodka down by the train tracks and walking around my suburban hellhole in shutter shades not a care in the world. Trump? Gamergate? Covid? Dawg, get your mind straight, we're going to the project x party tonight.

I love that LMFAO made one album called "Party Rock", another called "Sorry for Party Rocking", and then just disappeared off the face of the Earth.

I could have sworn it was some kind of social experiment. Both members of the band were related to each other, and to people high up in the music industry. I think the entire point was to show how easy it is to get a hit song if you have the right industry connections.
