    The defining pop culture moments of the 2020’s (so far) - Ep 112

    The last 5 years have been a wild ride, but what have been the biggest pop culture moments of the 2020s so far? In this episode we're looking back at the defining cultural moments that shaped the first half of one of the craziest decades ever—from the COVID-19 pandemic and the explosion of TikTok to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, Barbenheimer, the streaming wars, AI, GLP-1's, the nostalgia boom, and the changing role of social media. We'll explore how entertainment, celebrity culture, technology, and the creator economy have evolved since 2020, why shared cultural moments still matter in an era of personalized algorithms, and what these trends reveal about the way we consume media today. Whether you've been following every viral moment or simply want a nostalgic look back at the biggest trends of the 2020s, this episode unpacks the pop culture moments that defined the decade so far—and what they might mean for the future.
