not according to the music from the mid-late 2000s

gotta question this study’s methods & sources

linkin park out now

It was all downhill after 2012 fr

thats when u had the ipod but not facebook

all makes sense tbh

It really did all change with Trump. And not just because Trump was Trump but because the US mainstream media and social media simultaneously ramped up both the “us vs. them” narrative and the doom&gloom p***.

It’s also crazy that teenagers were happier directly after 9/11 than they were in 2017

Not surprised with how trendy it became to be emo and sad. Now it’s mainstream.

It’s true. Life was great

2012 planted the seeds and 2016 was the killing blow

Carter 2 was out. The facts check out.

Halo 2 and 3 were the peak of my happiness as well.

It truly was a different time

Social media toxicity

For sure.

It was f***ing great in retrospect, here on out is nothing but pain. I hold hope but we are going through some dark times with social media, lack of vulnerability, self-absorption, lack of community, degrading morals.

On TOP of the fact that our institutions constantly fail to be trusted to act in the best interest, not only for our country but the globe at large IN THE LONG TERM.

The world needs emotional healing it's corny asf but true.

Social media and phones ruined everything

i wonder how low that graph would be in the early/mid 80s

It’s really as simple as this.

When I was a teenager

Lame ass

Kids sensitive these days

as someone who was a teenager then, i agree
