A year people think is better than 2020 but its 100 times worse.
Guy: What did you think of 2021?
Guy 2: Worse than 2020
The year to stop being nice to all kids except middle children forever!!!
Person 1: Hey yo dude it’s 2021!!
Person 2:Ya I really wish I was a middle child right now!
As with all recent years, 2021 was not a great year, far from it actually. But honestly it was not as bad as I thought it would be.
➡️ 2021 saw the release of several great video games including Little Nightmares II, Deltarune Chapter 2, Subnautica: Below Zero, It Takes Two, and Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach.
➡️ Disney & Pixar finally seemed to make a great comeback in 2021 with Encanto and Luca.
➡️ Among us references basically dominated 2021. Annoying, yet low-key addicting.
➡️ Covid restrictions began to loosen in some parts of the world.
➡️ 2021 saw the controversial birth of NFTs.
➡️ Zuckerberg's rebranding of FB into Meta and his dumb metaverse.
➡️ More covid variants appeared (delta and omicron).
➡️ As mentioned in another definition, social media is still more or less the same with cringey memes and tiktoks tailored to gen Z taste. Unfortunately not something that will go away soon. We will just have to ignore and move on.
➡️ And, well, the world... just continued being the world, with covid, violence, protests and natural disasters still happening like it has always been.
So overall, 2021 was a mixture of some bad stuff and also some good stuff, personal circumstances included. But to me, the good and bad cancels out just enough to remember 2021 in a sliver of positive light. Just ever so slightly.
2021 was meh, but I'll take meh over bad anyday
