2013 was the year of the cultural reset

  • Laviea Thomas

10 years on, Laviea Thomas remembers some of 2013's seismic cultural moments.

Formerly known as the Bound 2 era, 2013 was a year of cultural weight. Jam-packed with break-the-internet moments that remain just as shocking as they did 10 years ago – from Miley Cyrus’ disastrous live performance at the VMAs to the Jonas Brothers announcing their split – it’s a year that saw gossip mills turning at quite the rate.
