Whatever happened to the band called fun.?

They had a few big hits during the early part of the decade, seemed like they were going to be one of the next big things and then just sort of disappeared forever.

I miss the 2013-2016 Youtube Era

I was born in 2002 so I was a teen all throughout the 2010s and one of the things I miss the most is the youtube scene back then.

I miss the old Bethany Mota, Mylifeaseva, Niki&Gabi, Zoella etc.

I miss the morning routine videos, the diy videos, the season specific videos etc. etc.

Obviously most of it was staged but who cares? I think somewhen around the end of 2016 or around 2017 it became real trendy to be 'realistic' but personally I enjoyed it way more when youtube videos were innocent, colourfull and had a great vibe overall. I still watch these old videos every now and then. There are tons of people in those comments also wishing this era came back.

The 2020s subdivision (cleanup post)

I did explain his in these two posts:

https://www.reddit.com/r/generationology/comments/1u7xbn6/june_2026_is_the_proper_beginning_of_the_20262028/ (this is about the Late 2020s)

and

https://www.reddit.com/r/generationology/comments/1tu5mdm/earlymid_1991_to_springfall_2017_is_one_deep_era/ (this describes how 1991-2017 was one era)

, but I will explain more here:

The 2020s does seem to be divided into these;

Jan 2020 to Dec 2022 are the Early 2020s.

2020 as a whole, was a direct continuation to the October-December 2017 breaking point. Hereby, the COVID 19 Pandemic Lockdown made things even more noticeable that this "could" be a new era. 2021 was the sleeker version of 2020. Mid-Late 2021 and into "most?" of the beginning half of 2022 pivoted even greater than merely "the sleekness."

Jan 2023 to May 2023 was the transition point between the Early 2020s and into the Core 2020s, in which this period also served as the response to the sub-transiton during mid-late 2021 and into 2022. The Lockdown in this period was slowly ending, the 2020s maturing as a decade, and more.

June-July 2023 to Dec 2025 was the core 2020s, or just Mid 2020s. It was a direct response to exiting out of the effects of the Pandemic and some of the other early 2020s aspects, while tapping into AI, further maturation of what was set in the late 2010s, and much more.

Jan 2026 to May 2026 was the Mid to Late Pivot.

June-July 2026, right now, is in the entrance into the 2026-2028 shift, and is essentially Late 2020s. AI is maturing, the Complexities of other "New Technology" is maturing, shifts in "Demographics," and more.

Jan to May 2029 may be the transition, but June 2029 would likely be the unofficial beginning into the 2030s.

This may had seemed to "cliche," too simple, and even poorly written; but I chose to make this post simpler to read to allow it to still be considerably effective.

Note: I Partly edited this on July 2 2026.

Remember.. once upon a time that she was one of the most hated person online besides Bieber 😲

Over a song that she didn't even write, and receiving death threats to her life when she was just 12-13 years old.

US Navy LT Jack H Taylor Giving an Interview on His PoW Experience, Camp Mauthasen, Austria, 1945

>Concentration Camp, Mauthasen, Austria, May 7-8, 1945. Sound interview with Lt Jack H Taylor, US Navy, who tells of his work in the German-occupied countries of Europe, his capture, and his treatment as a prisoner.

>Jack H. Taylor U.S. Navy, CA. "Interview with American Officer in Austria, October 44. Captured in December by Gestapo in prison for four months. Lived on potatoes, seen and heard terrible stories, condemned to death. Naval officer executed here. Huge pit to bury dead, killed in six different ways. Naked in the snow, conditions too extreme to mention."

>When Russians neared Vienna, I was taken to Mauthausen Concentration an extermination camp, where we have been starving and beaten and killed. Fortunately, my turn hadn't come. Two American officers, at least, have been executed here. Here is insignia and dog tags. Executed by gas."

>Question: "How many ways executed them?" "By gas, shooting, beating with clubs, exposure, that is: standing out in snow, naked, 38 hours and having cold water thrown on them in mid-winter, starvation, dogs, and pushing over 100 foot cliff. This is all true and has been seen and is now being recorded. I came in uniform [which was] taken away. This was substituted (points to striped inmate uniform.) I was condemned to death, like another American here, but fortunately 11th Army Division has come through and saved us in time.

source : American officers/POWs in Mauthausen. You can listen his full interview there.

  • The cliff was called 'Fallschirmspringerwand' (Parachutist wall).
  • Two US and one British PoWs were confirmed to be executed by gunshot in the neck. (USA v. Hans Altfuldisch, et al. - Case No. 000.50.5)

>The Mauthausen concentration camp was one of the places where an ultra-brutal form of capitalism, peculiar to the Nazis, took shape. All of the previous history of workers’ struggles for dignity, fair wages, a shorter working day, and the right to form unions and to strike were viciously repudiated by the curses of the Kapos, the crack of whips, and the shots of pistols. Days of excruciating toil frequently lasted eleven hours in the summer months and nine hours in the winter. Once they extracted blocks of stone from the cliff, the prisoners next had to break them into smaller fragments. Then they were forced to bear them up the 186 steps of the 'Todesstiege', the horrid Stairway of Death.

>The SS eagerly dispensed punishment to anyone exhibiting fatigue. During my trip, once I reached the bottom of the Stairway, I went to a pond underneath a very steep rock wall. Sharp rocks shot up through the water. A monument erected there described how the SS delighted in hurling these Jewish men off the top of this wall to their deaths. With their inimitable sense of humor, the guards nicknamed their victims Fallschirmspringer—parachutists.

>These men died unspeakably painful deaths far from their homes in 1941-42. “In other camps,” writes Nikolaus Wachsmann, “inmates began to dread a transfer to Mauthausen, after returning prisoners described the huge quarries as hell on earth.” Its name rightly incited terror.

>Mauthausen surpassed its own earlier precedents for barbarity in the winter and early spring of 1945. Even with the Nazi regime’s days numbered, business as usual did not halt for Commandant Franz Ziereis. In late February, hundreds of escaped Soviet prisoners were rounded up, with help from local citizens—and executed during the Hasenjagd (Hare Hunt), as the Nazis called it. On April 20, Hitler’s final birthday, the SS made a “selection”—the hideous euphemism for killing—of 3,000 ill inmates from the infirmary. Then on April 28 they carried out a final gassing operation, killing more than 30 Austrian socialists and communists. Murder was a way of life for these sadists.

source : Where Murder Was a Way of Life: The Mauthausen Concentration Camp

>9: United States v Johann Haider et al (Case 000-50-5-13)
The case of United States v Johann Haider was a follow-up to the case of United States of America v Hans Altfuldisch et al, in which 60 defendants who had worked at Mauthausen concentration camp were tried and found guilty of acting in pursuance of a common design that resulted in the mistreatment and death of many thousands of prisoners.

>Mauthausen was a concentration camp of considerable scale; at the time of its liberation, some 75,000 prisoners were clinging to life. Over the course of its seven-year operation, more than 50,000 people had been put to death within its confines. This industrial scale slaughter demanded the participation of considerably more than 60 people.

>In Haider, a clutch of people were tried for their participation in atrocities committed in and around the main Mauthausen camp. Most were SS men; a member of the Gestapo (the secret police) and a kapo joined them in the dock. The men were tried at Dachau between 3 September and 12 September 1947. In addition to showing that the defendants were participants in the Mauthausen system, and therefore liable for the atrocities committed there, the prosecution also led evidence on the defendants’ participation in specific crimes.

>A considerable amount of focus was placed on the operation of the Vienna Ditch stone quarry, where British and Dutch officers, all prisoners of war, were murdered. At the end of the trial, one defendant was acquitted, and the others were all found guilty. One convicted man was sentenced to death and executed, whereas the others were imprisoned for varying lengths of time, though the review board reduced some of the sentences considerably.

The Mauthasen Camp is such a horrible place where the depravity of humanity was displayed to an extreme degree. I believe God only knows the true number of PoW died there, especially the Soviet ones. A Soviet Lieutenant General, Dmitry Karbyshev, died there as well.

On another day, a Reddit user questioned if any of the Western ally's airmen was brought to justice for the killing of German civilians. I'd add that the airmen were often treated differently.

It seems like we’re back in 2013 gaming again!

The only one I‘d disagree is the Deadpool/Wolverine comparison. I can understand why since they’re both Marvel but that’s it. They’re two different super heroes. The rest, yes.

EDIT: Also I learned Tomb Raider is 2027.
