What would we do without YouTube? What would we do without television shows like Tosh.0 or websites like BuzzFeed that round up the best 20 videos we should have seen this year that define 2010?

The answer:

Perish like a sweater monkey.

Catch that Bring It On reference? No?

Okay, here’s the rest of the list on BuzzFeed. You won’t want to miss this.

Count Em’ 1, 2…50? 2010

This is probably one of my favorite posts to end the year with because I get to go through my entire iTunes library starting at 2010, and look back on every Song of the Day from the past year to compile this list. As always, this list is not in order by how much I listened to these tracks and how often, but rather when I started listening to them and then how frequently ie) City and Colour was one of the first CD’s I got at the beginning of the year and Hellogoodbye was one of the last.

Here are my favorite 50 songs of 2010:

1. Local Natives – Wide Eyes

2. Two Door Cinema Club – This is the Life

3. City and Colour – Waiting

4. Electric Wire Hustle – They Don’t Want

5. Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce – Telephone

6. B.o.B. ft. Bruno Mars – Nothin’ On You

7. Freelance Whales – Generator ^ First Floor

8. Fairline – Need A Way Out

9. Tokyo Police Club – Citizens of Tomorrow

10. Brooke Waggoner – Fresh Pair of Eyes

Overused to the point of abuse

The turn of 2010 means that the unveiling of a new decade is upon us. Every year since the year 2000 we have been reading about the sexiest people of the year, best movies of the year, top albums etc etc.

However, when ten years go by, the lists get a little bit more ridiculous or …truthful. It’s okay to reminisce on the 25 most used words and phrases of the decade:

  1. Wardrobe malfunction
  2. Status update
  3. Tweeted (as in “I just tweeted about that”)
  4. “Cougar” to describe any attractive woman over the age of 35, who happens to be single, or any woman dating a man more than three years her junior.
  5. The “clever” blending of two words to create one era-appropriate word, like “Staycation,” “bromance,” “Metrosexual,” “Recessionista,” and “Brangelina.”
