Pandemic-Era Trends That Have Already Disappeared
A BuzzFeed feature is collecting responses from people sharing the pandemic-era phenomena that have essentially gone extinct. From widespread practices like constant hand sanitizer stations and plexiglass barriers to cultural moments like sourdough baking and driveway concerts, many hallmarks of the COVID-19 era have quietly disappeared.
The discussion serves as a time capsule of sorts, reminding people how dramatically daily life shifted during 2020-2021 and how quickly those changes reversed. The responses highlight the temporary nature of many pandemic adaptations that once seemed like they might become permanent fixtures of modern life.
