The 2020 Effect

The instinctual feeling that it is still 2020. Shared by many members of Gen Z, who feel like past events are closer than they actually are; as if it is still 2020. Probably spurred by the pandemic and isolation, but nobody really knows where it comes from.

Most years have a satisfying ending, where after Christmas and New Years you get to reset and to on to the next year. However, COVID didn't care about the holiday season, and the defining characteristic of 2020 was carried on into the following year. In a way, it felt like 2020 never really ended.

"RIP my man Harambe"
"Dude, that meme is like 4 years old."
"I think you mean almost 8 years old."
"wait..."
"that's the 2020 effect"

Mid 2020s

The period of time between 2023 and 2026. It's when the AI Revolution took place, as well as the death of the internet.

It's also where the worst memes in human history originated from.

Oh my god. We're already in the mid 2020s. How the fuck did we get here so fast?

December 32, 2020

A meme that people were doing on New Year's Eve 2020 instead of making it January 1, 2021.

Of course 2021 was still a very bad year, despite the fact that some said that it was gonna be a good year, just because of how terrible 2020 was. However, it would not be good if December 32, 2020 was a thing, because literally no one needed another day of 2020, or at least no one in their right mind, anyway.
