Predictions for the Biggest Pop Culture Moments of 2022
The year 2021 saw some massive shifts within the entertainment industry, with streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+ dominating the scene. But what does 2022 have in store for us in terms of pop culture moments? Here are our predictions for the biggest pop culture moments of 2022.
1. Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Next Phase
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been on a roll, and 2022 is set to be another big year for the superhero franchise. With highly anticipated movies such as Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever lined up, it’s safe to say that the MCU will continue to dominate the box office. Furthermore, the upcoming Disney+ series, Moon Knight and She-Hulk, will also add to the hype.
2. The Return of the 90s
As we have seen in recent years, nostalgia is a massive driving force for pop culture. The 90s have been making a comeback for a while now, and 2022 is set to see a resurgence of the decade’s style, music, and TV shows. With reboots of popular 90s shows such as Frasier, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Sex and the City, we can already feel the excitement building up.
3. New Music from Iconic Artists
In 2022, we can expect new albums from some of the most iconic artists in the music industry. The release of Adele’s highly anticipated album, which she announced in November 2021, is already creating buzz. Other artists set to release new music include Sade, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, and Rihanna.
4. Social Media’s Ongoing Evolution
Social media has already had a massive impact on pop culture, and this trend will continue in 2022. Platforms such as TikTok and Instagram will remain at the forefront, with new features and updates adding to their popularity. The rise of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) in the digital art world is also worth keeping an eye on.
5. The Success of Global TV
Streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime continue to expand their global reach, and we can expect more diversity in the TV industry in 2022. For instance, we can expect to see more international shows like Lupin (France) and Squid Game (South Korea) gaining the same level of popularity worldwide.
In conclusion, 2022 is gearing up to be another exciting year for the entertainment industry, with new and returning pop culture moments that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact. From the next phase of the MCU to the resurgence of 90s nostalgia, social media’s evolving landscape, new music releases, and the success of international TV shows, 2022 is shaping up to be a year to remember.
