Buckle the f*ck in. We’re going back to 2012.
A year when One Direction was a full-blown cult, Instagram filters made every photo look vaguely haunted, Taylor Swift started going pop, and everyone thought the world might actually end.

We’re talking “Call Me Maybe,” Kony 2012, Honey Boo Boo, the Cup Song, Frank Ocean, The Hunger Games, overly attached girlfriends, sepia filters and five British guys in impossibly tight jeans.
Some of it aged beautifully. Some of it should have stayed buried. And some of it proves the whole point of this show: the names change, the platforms change, but the chokehold is basically the same.
Class is officially in session.
