It's almost Thanksgiving, so here at Popdust we're trying our best to stop dwelling on the fact that our entire world is going to sh*t, and instead, be appreciative of all the pop culture stuff we're thankful for in 2019.

Here they are in no particular order:

1. The Lumineers New Album

Instant Classic.

2. The constant whining of the Pokemon fanbase on Reddit and Twitter

A week after the launch of Sword and Shield, the angry man-babies are still crying hard.
