The title kinda says it all, it feels like whenever I look at popular stuff released in the late half of the 2000s, it's almost always from 2007, sometimes 2008 (usually early 08 but 08 nonetheless), it seems like such an insane(ly good) year for pop culture stuff, like for example:

- Crysis
- Team Fortress 2
- Bioshock
- Guitar Hero 3 (and Rock Band)
- Super Mario Galaxy

- Uncharted

Lastly, some albums that came out in 07 include:

In terms of internet stuff, it's also where places like YouTube, YTMND, and Newgrounds had some amazing stuff uploaded, and there were plenty of classic memes that were introduced in this time, it feels like whenever I hear people talk about older videos/memes that got popular, most of the time it's from 2007 (or 2006), like I Wanna Be The Guy and Cat Mario released that year, they're personal examples but still, feels like 2007 was the year that everyone was like "alright lets just release total bangers"
