Highlight Of The Decade

Growing up. This decade saw my teen years. It saw me evolve into a young adult - with all the fads and trends trailing shortly behind. I'm satisfied by the cultural turnout of 2019; it seems that technology has fastened a tight grip on our lifestyles and the quality and potential of art has reached an all-time high. For me, I spent my teens listening to Flume, he gave us some super exciting tracks and put Australia in the spotlight. I'm happy that he stuck around and is still continuing to do cool things.

Prediction For Next Decade

With the birth of Web 3.0, things are going to get a little crazy. I predict experiences with technology will be a lot more personalised, as the option to create art and be successful because of it is easier than ever. I predict new fads (spoiler alert) but I can't tell you what they will be (obviously). I hope that Australia continues to integrate all of these beautiful cultures into its identity as inclusiveness and recognition are prioritised.
