Did the World End in 1999? or 2012 ?

Did the world end in 1999, and we’re stuck in a Matrix-style time warp? When you think of the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s, what images do you think of? Each had very distinct styles of what the culture was like, with very specific fashion, TV shows, music, design, and everything else.

But after 1999, that all stopped. You could look at a TV show from 2005 or 2025, and how the people act, dress, and design their spaces pretty much stayed the same—at least, that’s the strange, thought-provoking theory people are starting to talk about.

Why have the decades since 2000 seemed relatively the same? Are we stuck in a time warp? Has culture ground to a halt on purpose?

Rob collected all the evidence he could find of this bizarre, Matrix-style time freeze to see if we can figure out what’s going on. Is it just a pile of technological and social issues creating this, or is there evidence of other theories? Join investigative researcher Rob Counts for a Metaphysical show that’s out of this world.
