A hecka long ass year.
Here are the headline making moments of 2024.
Apple dance: in mid-July people still didn’t know who Charli xcx was. By August the vibe was all, we’re brat and it’s completely different but also still brat.
Bug: SZA showing up as a bug for her Hot Ones interview and getting deep with Sean Evans.
You know Sean’s hot for bugs with cleavage now. She was pretty into his birth chart.
Chappell Roan: Her breakthrough year. I respect that’s she’s bringing back drama and reliable headline making to the role of pop artistry.
Dorit lighting up in the Range: post-divorce announcement as she sped down the canyon. Cigs are back, baby. Now take Kyle down.
España Rugby team: As Jezebel put it, “dancing flamenco and doing other slutty little things in the locker room” at the Olympics. Watch the roundup.
Foo Father’s Fuckup: Rock star shoots load in rando. Dave Grohl, Father of the year, told us about his 4th child with a gross post. Way to ruin your marriage, daughters lives, and public image all at once.
Girls 5eva: Netflix revived it for Season 3: six half-hour episodes and they stacked the jokes. It’s worth watching every season with captions on so you don’t miss a thing just like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
Hot Boys: Cash Money’s greatest group reunited after 15+ years. Juvenile, Lil Wayne, all the Cash Money Millionaires were in the building at Weezyana Fest. Take a look at the label’s iconic album art.
In da clurb we all fam: TikTok resurfaced this 2016 Broad City line.
Justins: JT sucks trying to bury his dui. Bieber became a father in a year where all our hearts hurt for him.
Katt Williams exposes Hollywood: We all thought he was buggin til month after month proved he and 50 Cent are the only ones we can trust.
Lose Control: by Teddy Swims dropped in ‘23 but has been in the top of the charts ever since. Is this in a movie/series or is it this big because it sounds familiar?
Mamushi: Megan Thee Stallion’s single was everywhere and the dance was an fyp stronghold. And, rapper Yuki Chiba? 😎 very yeee. Fuck w his whole crew heavy!
Not Like Us: Kendrick beefed with Drake, then performed this 5 times in a row. Imagine if it’s his whole Super Bowl show in New Orleans. Think he’ll bring out any of Nola’s GOATs?
Obama’s crowd size joke: we’ll always have crowd size.
Pole Vaulter Wins at Failing: Pole vaulter’s Olympic dream shattered by his own penis via AV Club’s headline roundup - even the link’s url is having the time of its life.
Queen of Tears: Netflix’s biggest k-drama. A series almost as hyped as Crash Landing on You, thanks to cute chemistry between the leads and an excellent ensemble cast. Here’s a funny scene of class difference:
Rizzler: So viral - why tho why. Internet dumb. This kid will grow up to be canceled.
Shogun: The costumes breathtaking, cast impeccable. There’s gnar-ass beheadings and seppuku (suicide via disembowelment). Chill, feudal-era Japan type jawns. Anna Sawai is in Pachinko, an outstanding Asian series also based on a book.

Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest: Timmy went looking (unintentionally?) like a mediocre version of himself. This trend brought too many contests too fast: Jeremy Allen White, Harry Styles, Dev Patel, Zendaya. Over it.
Ugly fashion: the coolest people look like they picked out their outfit at a Goodwill by getting black out drunk, blindfolding themselves, shopping, trying on their finds (still blindfolded) and left.
The Valley: OG Vanderpump Rules kids “grown up” raising families. Two couples experience juicy marital problems during season 1 filming. Ahead of S2, Jax started therapy and “just found out” he’s a narcissist.
Who TF Did I Marry? At the top of ‘24, Reesa Teesa spilled heavy tea about her cheating, lying husband in a 52-part TikTok saga. By Aug, The LA Times was still reporting on her success and the uptick in long-form content.
X exodus, for real this time: you on bluesky since the doge-ing started?
Young Thug is free!!: after 900+ days in custody, making it Georgia’s longest trial ever. Long live Jeffrey. To his lawyer, Brian Steel, love you - Truly Humble Under God!
Zyn: juul for gen z guys right?
