Can You Match the Pop Culture Event to the Year It Happened?

There’s current events, politics, news, massive cultural tentpoles the world collectively acknowledges… then there’s pop culture. The real “current events” anyone really cares about. Do you know what’s going on in China right now? Unless you live there, probably not. Look, there’s a reason you clicked the pop culture option for this decade-long roundup: it’s because you fancy yourself a bit of a zeitgeist-y hipster in-the-know type. You’re probably really good at parties, relatively young (or young at heart), and pride yourself on knowing what’s up and what’s cool. Well, wanna see what you’re made of?

Match the year to these huge pop culture moments to see how well you remember this decade. Keep in mind, this decade technically started in 2010 aka “forever and a half ago.” Still feeling confident? Well, may the odds be ever in your favor, my culturally savvy crumpet! Will “crumpet” as a term of endearment ever catch on in 2020? That’s for the future. This is about now and the recent past, so focus!
