As someone who was 7 in 2013, I personally thought that it was an amazing year. Lots of people say 2013 was the "beginning of the downfall", but I don't think thats true! 2013 had lots of nostalgic trends (like the Harlem Shake) and the year itself actually had lots of early 2010s culture in it. Back in summer of 2013 Black Ops 2 was the newest COD game, the iPhone 5 (and IOS 6) was the latest Apple device, and the Xbox 360/PS3 were still the newest console at the time! I think 2013 is overhated and it was one of the best years to be a kid. What are your thoughts on this? I would like to hear what you think about 2013 and why you like/dislike it.
