The early 2010s was a time period in a league of its own, and not necessarily in a good way. With a decade of hindsight, everything from planking to moustache finger tattoos is tinged with a distinct "what the hell were we doing" vibe. It's amazing how a short period of time can turn something from fashionable to atrocious, and this is especially true of music trends.

This has recently been pointed out by Twitter user @lemonade_grrrl, who gave many people unwelcome flashbacks by reminiscing about a particular genre of indie music from that time. Describing it as "stomp clap hey", she criticized it as "focus group music". Many agreed with her overwhelmingly negative assessment and were not thankful for the reminder. Start preparing yourself now, because if the y2k revival is anything to go by this genre will be having its glorious renaissance in approximately 5 years' time.
