At one point, it was common knowledge that trends — especially those in the universe of fashion — came back every two decades. Now, that length of time has been shortened to 10 years, what with the boom of all things 2016-coded in 2026. Since turning their calendars to the Year of the Horse, people have been obsessed with trying to resuscitate the age of the Mannequin Challenge and the fidget spinner. Outlets report that searches for the term “2016” surged by over 400 percent in the first month of this year, with both everyday sentimentalists and celebrities digging up the archives to find authentic representations of themselves from the time. This phenomenon has been brewing for a while, though. On social media, millions of users have been collectively expressing the notion that 2016 was the last good year. It was the year of the world’s initial acquaintance with “Stranger Things”; car stereos blasting The Chainsmokers’ “Closer” on repeat; platforms like Vine and Musical.ly exploding in popularity; the Rio Olympic Games; Instagram’s then-new Stories feature; and Leonardo DiCaprio’s first Oscar win.
