The Year Was: 2016
10.10.23
With The Year Was, Annett is taking you on a journey through time. Each show, we’re traveling back to one year in time. What did it sound like – around the world, across different genres, scenes, and areas of pop culture?
For this one, we are traveling to a year that is both not that long ago and what feels like light years away: 2016.
Long before Covid 2016 had its fair share of upheaval. First Brexit, then Trump. The most devastating mass shooting in modern American history. A worldwide refugee crisis. Bowie’s and Prince’s final departures. And a brief but totally annoying Pokémon Go takeover of everyone’s social life.
Still, great music kept coming as it always has. Let’s listen to 2016!
