Remember when everyone was trying to copy the hunger games?
From the 2010s to around 2016 YA Dystopia was dominating the market, hollywood was burning cash throwing money at book to movie adaptations and authors were eagerly naming their next MC Cressida Everthorn. But then just as quickly as it rose, it crashed and burned.
Let's take a look at how YA dystopia became popular, some of the most notable works and the impact of the hunger games on the YA dystopia genre, from books to movie.
We're looking at some of the major arguments and factors that led to teen dystopia's downfall, it's barely-there footprint and discussing some individual works.
All in all... the worldbuilding was bad yo.

Including appearances from fan favourites or not so favourites like The 100, Shatter Me, Delirium, The Selection, Gone, Divergent, The Hunger Games, Matched Ally Condie, Uglies Scott Westerfeld, Gone Michael Grant, The 5th Wave, The Host yadayadayada.
