The 2010s…what a decade, right? There were good times, probably, and bad times too, and pop culture was there to get us through it all. The Pop Culture Junkie Podcast is looking back at the halcyon days between 2010 and 2019 with a five-part series we’re calling We Love the 2010s. This week, Alex, Hayley, Nicole and Shauna take a look at the years 2012 and 2013.

2012 was the year of natural disasters like Sharknado, the end of the world as we know it, and Honey Boo Boo, the 50 Shades of Grey book and “Gangnam Style”, Magic Mike and “Call Me Maybe” and so much more. And 2013 had us twerking and doing the Harlem Shake, listening to Lorde and “Blurred Lines,” and wondering what does that stupid fox really say? We will feature the Marvel Minute and the Year of Our Lady Gaga for each year of the decade, too. Join us for a look back at everything that made life worth living (or at least, worth talking about) in the 2010s.

Thank you to Olympus Games, the home of the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast.
