Mobile gaming grew up, and it got nasty. Flappy Bird was deleted by its creator in February 2014 because it was “too addictive.” For two months, commuters on the L train or the Tube stood shoulder to shoulder, silently screaming at a pixelated bird and green pipes. That was the vice: shared, silent, self-loathing frustration.

You climbed the E-list ranks by attending fake club openings, dating digital celebrities, and spending real money on virtual energy drinks. It was absurd. It was brilliant. It was 2014.

2014 films treated city vices with either glossy nostalgia or grim realism.

2014 was arguably the peak of the "Peak TV" era, and the city was the primary character.

If 2013 was the year of the "Golden Age of Television" peeking over the horizon, 2014 was the year it dove headfirst into the gutter—and audiences couldn't look away. The entertainment content of 2014 was defined by a specific strain of urban decadence: a fascination with "City Vices."

From the gritty alleyways of crime dramas to the glittering, toxic boardrooms of corporate satire, 2014 popularized the idea that the city itself was the ultimate temptress. Here is how vices dominated the cultural conversation in 2014.

2014 was the last year before “influencer” became a career. But the vice was already there: documenting the party instead of feeling it. DJ Snake and Lil Jon’s “Turn Down for What” was the anthem. The music video—absurd, chaotic, full of dancing body parts—matched the city’s frantic energy.

On the dance floors of Output in Brooklyn, Fabric in London, or Berghain in Berlin, a new vice emerged: the Instagram story (launched in 2013, perfected in 2014). We filmed confetti drops. We captured bottle sparks. We posted blurry videos of the DJ’s laptop. The actual vice wasn’t the alcohol or the late hour—it was the fear of being unpresenced. If you didn’t post it, did you even go out?

Before podcasts were a corporate battleground, they were a private vice. 2014 was the year Serial dropped (October 3rd). Suddenly, every subway car, every coffee shop line, every lonely walk home was soundtracked by Sarah Koenig’s measured voice and the mystery of Adnan Syed.

The vice? Eavesdropping on justice. We became armchair detectives, arguing with strangers on Reddit about cell tower pings. It was the first time a podcast felt like a city-wide book club—only the book was a real murder case, and the chapters dropped weekly, leaving you hollow and hungry.

Other vices followed: Welcome to Night Vale (desert horror for hipsters), How Did This Get Made? (laughing at bad movies as a form of therapy). We listened with one earbud in, always keeping one ear open for the real city.

2014 was the peak of the "Prestige TV" era, specifically for female-driven chaos. Shows like Broad City (Comedy Central) and Girls (HBO) redefined the "city vice" sitcom. Unlike the glossy Sex and the City of the early 2000s, 2014’s protagonists weren't looking for love in a penthouse; they were looking for $20 for an Uber after a coke-fueled bender.

Broad City season 1 (premiering Jan 2014) turned the mundane vices of New York into a picaresque adventure. Getting high before a dental appointment, ruining a pair of jeans at a warehouse party, or panhandling for a slice of pizza—these became the rituals of the modern urbanite. The show validated that for millennials in 2014, city survival was less about career advancement and more about navigating the absurdity of hedonism on a budget.

On the drama side, True Detective (HBO) aired its first season. While set in rural Louisiana, its philosophical underpinning—the "vice" of cosmic pessimism—infected city media. Rust Cohle’s rants about human consciousness being a "evolutionary mistake" became the go-to caption for urban Instagram photos of skyscrapers at dusk. In 2014, the cities weren't just corrupt; they were nihilistic loops.
