When the 2010s started, the cultural landscape looked a little different than it does now. Netflix was strictly a mail-order DVD business; Spotify hadn’t arrived in the United States; Drake had yet to release an official album; no one had heard the phrases #OscarsSoWhite or #MeToo. But with the nitrous boost of technology in its engine, pop culture would utterly transform over the ensuing decade — changing not just how we consumed it, but also how we talked about it.
Before the 2020s start and we’re moving around in self-driving cars, we at LEVEL wanted to take a look back at the moments and experiences that transformed us — from movies to music, and from podcasts to platforms. It’s been a hell of a run, y’all. We can’t wait to see what the next transformation looks like.
