An entire industry has risen up around the purported 2012 prophecies, fed by an army of would-be prophets and self-styled messiahs. One subculture of the movement was based around the alleged entrance of Nibiru, or Planet X, into the inner solar system.
2012 became a tabula rasa on which any prophecy, prediction, wish or fantasy could be projected onto. There was a dark and a light side to the movement, with some prediction catastrophe and a smaller contingent predicting global peace and harmony.
This event was predicted to have catastrophic effects on our planet, as the gravity of the Transplutonian invader would cause all kinds of earth changes such as earth quakes, floods and volcanic eruptions.

Most people seemed to ignore the prophecies for the most part, and there was no small amount of shaming and ridicule when the kinds of events you saw in the media (in the Roland Emmerich 2012 film, for instance) failed to materialize.
But looking back, I'm starting to have second thoughts about the 2012 thing. Something did seem to change. We got a taste of apocalypse here just two months before 12/21/12 when Superstorm Sandy rolled through town, leaving this placid suburb in ruins.

And the mood out there seems to be growing increasingly dark in the past three years. Social relations have noticeably deteriorated within many countries since 2012 (certainly in my own), as have those without in the geopolitical arena.
