At Art Attack it is our collective job to constantly take the pulse of pop culture and report to you our findings, however wildly insane or on-point. Or way, way off. Trends, memes, fads, they flow through our brains like that red stuff that comes out of our noses when we pick it too much. What's that called, anyways?

Who would have predicted that cherubic-looking Korean pop star would have the biggest song in the United States, if not the planet? Somehow, some way Lindsay Lohan didn't die in 2012. And damn, who would have thought that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West would begin dating and make a baby together....

Okay, we all expected that. It was just a matter of time. Like when you have two scumbag friends in your life and they make out at a party and you're like, "Fuckin' finally," and they get married and have ten kids.

But what about 2013? After all the garbage and death we waded through in 2012 -- the mass shootings, the apocalypse talk, 666 Park Avenue -- it's like a whole new year. Literally.
