2014 Pop and Web Culture In A Nutshell

2014 it's almost over in less than 48 hours, and for better or worse 2015 is right around the corner. So i'm going to make a short review about Pop and Web Culture trends in 2014, we had some good and memorable things but also we had some uber weird and obnoxious trends in 2014.

1. Frozen Madness
We had this Frozen, that Frozen, those Frozen, these Frozen, Frozen themes everywhere!! Don't get me wrong i love Disney movie, and Frozen was an excellent one, but seriously guys... it's time to let it go! literally let it fucking go!

2. Turn down for what?
"Turn Down for What" is a EDM by DJ Snake and Lil Jon released on December 2013 and the music video came in March 2014.  But in pop culture it's a rhetorical question used by teenagers, if "turn up" means the act of getting drunk and high and being reckless so "turn down" would mean "sobering up" then "turn down for what?" means "sobering up for what?".

3. Sharknado
The first Sharknado was okay. The second Sharknado was absurd and undoubtedly any other movies that have Sharknado in the title will be downright obnoxious.

4. Bae & Yasss
Bæ/bae is a Danish word for shit. Also used by people on the internet who think it means Before Anyone Else or another way to say babe or baby, so if you call your BF/GF bae it means you call them shit. And "Yass" A word used out of excitement of a situation. Becomes natural after a while. A more vibrant form of yes.

5. Celebrities drama
There was Solange, Beyonce and Jay Z and every time that Selena Gomez unfriended anyone of her famous friends and most recently the ongoing feud between Azealia Banks and Iggy Azalea. These are prime examples of celebrity drama that should be kept behind closed doors and does not need to be broadcast over the Internet.

6. Chia or Kale?
Kale and chia was all the rage this past year, but it’s time for everyone to put down the vegetable and try some new leafy greens and other weird seeds.

7. Kardashians
‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians” was so last year. Ever since Bruce and Kris called it quits, Kylie and Kendall grew up and Kourtney had yet another baby we just can’t seem to care about what the Kardashians are up to.

8. Stupid People gone viral
Alex from target, Donna Goudeau Pimp Squad and a lot more.

9. Hashtags
It seems like everywhere you turn there’s a hashtag. Every TV show has one, Facebook has tried to incorporate them into their platform, they appear on clothing and as home decor. Please stop abusing the hashtag.

10. Old Movie Reboot
Why does Hollywood feel the need to remake classics like “Annie,” “Godzilla” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”? They rarely do as well as the originals.
