From Miley Cyrus’s twerking to the Beliebers, there are some 2013 phenomena we hope we have seen the back of

Some
things are better if forgotten and 2013 was full of not so good
surprises that we all should leave behind. Let’s forget the amount of
times we heard the Harlem Shake, weird baby name choices (cough cough
North West) and Miley Cyrus’s licking an iron hammer. It’s still all in
your heads but will soon be over.
1 Miley Cyrus’s tongue and twerking
Hannah
Montana is long gone and children around the world lost their favorite
Disney pop singer to a 20 years old party girl who can’t stop and won’t
stop twerking.
2 Zombies, zombies everywhere
It
seems to me people are so tired of the world as it is today they have
to turn their love into something else, something like zombies. Probably
inspired by The Walking Dead, one of the most watched series of 2013,
more people are searching on how to prepare for a “zombie apocalypse.”
We already have too many unsolved issues in the world. Let’s try not to
create one more.
3 Selfies
We
are all familiarized with what ‘selfies’ are all about: people taking
close up pictures of themselves, sometimes pulling off a duck face.
Let’s be more social next year. Let’s ask our friends to take pictures
of us. I promise we will look so much better.
4 Ridiculous baby names
North
West? Really? Is that even legal? I know you want your kid to be
special and to stand out from the crowd. However, did you think of how
their friends will make fun of them in school? Or how the security at
airports will have laugh at them when they open their passport? Think
again.
5 What does the fox say?
I
bet the annoying song you heard the other day is stuck in your head for
weeks. Unfortunately viral songs are catchy and you can’t avoid but to
sing it to your friends and family, or even to strangers. However, I
swear I will kill the next person who sings ‘What does the fox say?’
next to my ear.
6 The Fifty Shades of Grey movie drama
The
Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy was a replacement for millions of husbands
who got dumped after their wives read the endless sex scenes of the
book. Teenagers also read it and now know to what their mom masturbates
to. We had enough of badly written books. Bring back the classics!
7 SnapChat
SnapChat
was released in July this year but is already one of the most used apps
on smart phones. The problem is not the app itself but snaps people
send. If you decide to downloadSnapChat, be ready to receive pictures and videos of
your friends being drunk, a couple of pictures of boobs and singing
disasters. But never forget, everything you send will probably end up on
Facebook.
8 Vladimir Putin
We
have been sick and tired of Putin for a long time but this year’s
anti-gay laws are the cherry on top of the cake – in a (really) bad way.
Everything got even more ridiculous when he stated anti-gay laws were
made to protect Russian children. How about giving them the right
education? That’s the protection they need.
9 Thrown Back Thursday
TBT, as they call it, is all about old pictures, very old pictures. You post photos of
yourself when you were a baby or embarrass your friends by sharing
pictures of them when they were younger. Do you know how ugly most of us
looked 10 years ago? Let’s hide those pictures forever.
10 Harlem Shake
Millions
of people around the world became YouTube stars for their dance craze
to the Harlem Shake earlier this year. The only problem is most of these
people didn't know how to shake. Some say this was a dark time for
dance history. I have to agree.
11 Simon Cowell
You
either love him or hate him but we all know Simon Cowell is undoubtedly
blunt. We hope the new baby will make him a nicer person who doesn’t
constantly make X Factor contesters cry.
12 YOLO
For
the ones who don’t know YOLO is an acronym to You Only Live Once, used
by millions of people worldwide as an excuse to make stupid decisions.
It’s not news we only live once and we need to make the best of each
moment of our lives, but let’s try not to jump out of a bridge or get in
an alcoholic coma because ‘YOLO’.
13 Grown Ups 2
Some
describe it as a movie of fools, by fools, for fools. Others say the
only movie better than Grown Ups 2 is Grown Ups, which is also quite
bad. We all thought a movie where Taylor Lautner’s crotch is eaten by
deer would be at least funny. However, we were wrong.
14 Pop stars call their fans by specific names
Katy
Perry’s ‘KatyCats’, Rihanna’s ‘Rihanna Navy’ or Just Bieber’s
‘Beliebers’. Can we just all go back to days when fans were just called
‘fans’? I think we should.
