Well, it IS an arbitrary calendrical start.

Think about the meaning of the names

September
October
November
December

How can December be the TENTH month when the current calendar says it is the 12th?

New year is about the time when winter has already worn out it's welcome. Holidays are over. Plus, that is when companies decide to raise prices on stuff.

Places decide to become more strict shortly after.

No one was looking much forward to Y2K because the media spent most of 1999 ruining that with their "Y2K bug" scare.

IN 2019, everyone thought 2020 would be really awesome and just look what happened. Just look.

So, even if not for bugs nor viruses, riots, etc, I think a lot of people look at the new year as, "great, MORE BS coming."

Plus, aside the number of the year and stuff getting more expensive, nothing else really changes.

Even if there did seem to be reason for excitement like the coming Y2K or 2020, the media promptly ruins it for everyone.

@MrBrownstone this is I’m I’m the only one that got excited but got crushed when people said whatever. Even my brother agreed with my nephew (his son). Kids are so brutal with no filter.
