Top 10 Worst Years of the 2010s
2017 (MMXVII) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2017th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 17th year of the 3rd millennium, the 17th year of the 21st century, and the 8th year of the 2010s decade. Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington died. I was a kid in the 2000s, so losing them was hard.
Second of all, Netflix released their horrible adaptation of Death Note. IT. WAS. TERRIBLE.
2017! It sucks. I really hate this goddamn piece of crap space. I don't even consider this to be a year. It's a nightmare! It is the worst year in the world: my personal life, movies, TV shows, movie studios, video games, music, and everything. There is absolutely nothing good to say about this year.
Where do I begin?
I switched buses, my pug died, Texas Church shooting, Hurricane Irma, Donald Trump being president, my sister sprained her knee, my cat had surgery, my family members hit and fought, and Paramount Pictures has gone downhill BIG TIME. There were lots of celebrity deaths, mass shootings everywhere, terrorist attacks, lots of TV shows getting canceled, mediocre remakes and sequels, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi! (That movie SUCKED BIG TIME!)
I'm glad 2017 is OVER! Paramount has been making so many box office flops and underperforming biggies in 2017 as well.
2018 seems to be a little better. We'll see.
2016 (MMXVI) was a leap year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2016th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 16th year of the 3rd millennium, the 16th year of the 21st century, and the 7th year of the 2010s decade. My absolute least favorite year of the 2010s decade. This year was absolutely NOT an easy one.
I don't really know where to start. Let's see, politics everywhere you go, ISIS at its peak, deaths of notable people, and not to mention the cringe meme culture.
I know stuff like this happens occasionally every year, but it peaked in 2016. I know a lot of people who had PTSD from thinking about this year. For me personally, it was definitely not memorable or easy. 2017 was miles, I mean MILES, better. Not sure why it's now placed as #1...
2018 (MMXVIII) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2018th year of the Common Era (CE), the 9th year of the 2010s decade, the 18th year of the 21st century, and the 18th year of the 3rd millennium. 2018 was a piece of garbage. It was AWFUL!
1. Fortnite took over the world and the video game industry, and it was getting annoying for everyone.
2. The WORST YouTube Rewind EVER created was uploaded. Everyone disliked the video because everyone knew 2018 was a bad year at first, and all that was in the video was mostly Fortnite.
3. School shootings got more common.
4. My Grandma AND one of my uncles died.
5. Horrible music (especially the rap division).
6. Stupid challenges like the Tide Pod Challenge.
I'm glad it's over, though!
2015 (MMXV) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2015th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 15th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 6th year of the 2010s decade. Yes, this year was overrated, embarrassing, and awful all around. Pretty much anyone with common sense understands that this was the most forgettable year ever because nothing good or interesting happened. It is also the worst year for business, as shown on the list on this site of the same name. I can definitely see people in 2-3 years looking back on this year and feeling like nothing happened.
Holy hell, I forgot this year even existed. It was beyond boring and unmemorable. No one ever thinks of this era when they think of the 2010s decade, and it's for good reason too.
2013 (MMXIII) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2013th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 13th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 4th year of the 2010s decade. 2013 was literally the worst year of my life, EVER! It was downright horrendous (yes, worse than 2016).
2014 (MMXIV) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2014th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 14th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 5th year of the 2010s decade. Honestly, 2014 had the best music of the decade, but it is the worst year when it comes to wars in this decade. People have forgotten all about ISIL and the Iraqi civil war in 2014, and it pisses me off. And Ebola is nothing to remember anymore because "everybody in 2014 was having a GOOD TIME™, especially the people dying in the Middle East." (I was being sarcastic, by the way.)
Personally, it was and still is the second worst year in my life, right below 2017. I had a bunch of wannabe gangsters who made me want to kill myself. They kept on saying a racial slur every time without knowing what it means, and it's very offensive to black people. (I'm talking about the N-word.) Most of my classmates in sixth grade were very rude people.
Therefore, I think 2014 should be higher on the list, as high as 2013 is.
2019 (MMXIX) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2019th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 19th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 10th and last year of the 2010s decade. This year, 2019, marks the close of a decade called the 2010s. This decade will go down in history as one full of anguish, hatred, disgrace, adversity, injustice, shock, depression, and immorality. Maybe in the next decade, the 2020s, things will change, and people will do good things to make the world a better place. Even though we make mistakes, will there still be good morals like in the good old days? Think about it.
2019 was boring and terrible. The reason nobody is nostalgic for 2019 as of 2022 is that it was not memorable whatsoever. It's basically just a year that happened. I mean, what is there to even be nostalgic about? Area 51? VSCO girls? I don't think so.
I remember back in 2015, everyone was nostalgic about 2012 despite it being only three years apart. We are three years away from 2019 now, and it basically feels the same. Nothing good has really changed these last few years, I guess.
2012 (MMXII) was a leap year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2012th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 12th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 3rd year of the 2010s decade. 2012 should be ranked #1 on this list because of all the tragic things that happened in 2012. The Costa Concordia sank. Twenty kids were killed in a mass school shooting in Connecticut. People committed suicide because of the end-of-the-world predictions. Many people feared the end of the world in 2012. There was a mass shooting at a movie theater in Colorado. All of these tragic moments affected the whole year of 2012, therefore making it the worst year ever.
I cannot believe that such a tragic year was ranked #1 on the list of the best years in the 2010s. 2012 is the worst and most overrated year ever. I do not get why people love 2012 after all of these tragic things happened. If you look up the most tragic moments of 2012 and the Costa Concordia sinking, you will see why 2012 was the worst year ever.
2010 was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2010th year based on Anno Domini/Common Era designations. It is the 10th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 1st year of the 2010s decade. We were still recovering from the Great Recession.
Justin Bieber's "Baby" was released that year.
Why isn't this at #1? The economy was so poor!
2011 (MMXI) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2011th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations.
