When recalling key historical moments, the kind that define generations and bring humanity together, conversations begin with the oft-asked, "Where were you?" Pearl Harbor, the dropping of the atomic bomb, John F Kennedy's assassination, Elvis' death, 9/11. Anyone who has lived through a moment that brought about a paradigm shift in culture can recall the exact moment when they heard the news.
2015's most obvious moment of "where were you" had to be the time you were on Twitter or Facebook in February and seeing everyone on your feed talking about some stupid fucking dress that was black and gold, or white and blue, or saffron and umber, or neon grey and desert camo. You went through the stages of bafflement, anger, frustration, sadness, and finally, acceptance that you'd rather pay attention to viral non-sequiturs than real current events that affect your local community and the broad world.
