Personally I agree with the whole 2012/tinder changing the world thing so I'd say 2010/2011.
 
Before smartphones, then before internet
 
Good question. I would say 2010/2011.
 
... Great idea. Until it happens again :€
 
2001, I wasn’t born then, but I heard before 9/11 the world was much different.
 
before being blackpilled
 
Literally as the iphones started coming out and people transitioned over from flip phones things started to go to shit. No doubt women were still acting degenerate, but people were more normal. People acted differently with each other. Everything was more in the moment. Now we have kids talking that havent seen the world before social media and that to me is nauseating. I remember even in school everyone was more in the moment now I see school kids they are doing 2 things. Staring down at their phone or chads and stacys being chads and stacys. I was already older but I miss the myspace era. Thats as far as I wouldve let this social media bullshit go.
 
Depends on what you're measuring. For instance, there used to be a time when Harry Potter was as big as Marvel movies are now. So you might wanna compare the "Young Adult Books Made Into Movies Era" to the "Disney Owns Everything Era."

"The Darkest Minds" was a 2018 film. Know what the main critique against it was? "It's too late." The Young Adult/Kids With Powers Era is over. Should've tried this 10 years ago.
 
Like 1000 years ago at least
 
Around 2010, i dont remember exactly
 
What happened in 2005

I graduated high school in 2005, that was the last era before social media and smartphones really became a thing and dating apps cucked us into the next dimension.
 
When Saddam was still alive.
 
Before smartphones, before social media (MySpace doesn't count since it wasn't really popular enough).
 
20 years or so.
 
2008 was the last good year, and Dark Knight that summer was like the last gasp of monoculture. You could feel it in the air.
 
Yeah, I agree. This current "era" started with the smartphone spread. Circa 2011/12/13 (in Brazil it was more like 13, I remember even rich people still sending SMS around in 2012).

So 2010 would definitely be another era in that sense.

When I play GTA IV which is set in 2008 or something like that. Totally different feel to that society in many ways.
 
2008 was when things seemed hopeful.
 
2011 would be noticeable but I think you'd have to go to 2007 for a truly big change.
