This is a great video to watch if you’ve just woken up from a coma. Not you? Well, there’s always the nostalgic aspect of this 10 year-recap done by Newsweek magazine.
Is it just me or is most of the American news of the last decade depressing?
Not that Newsweek didn’t do a good job summing up the last ten years (hell, doing so properly would take 10 years in itself), it’s just that I can’t help but wonder why they chose to dominate it with celebrity and depressing news. After all, if that’s the case they should have included Enron and some music news.
Perhaps it’s because I’m music-obsessed, but I distinctly remember there being a demise of boy bands and a rise of hip-hop artists during this decade. Another one they missed was The Dark Knight movie. Wasn’t that the Titanic of this decade?
