I would call it an ALT season but surely not a year for doge. That coin has zero fundamentals and has become more of a stable coin, it hasn't moved ahead over the last month or so. Yes the year seems promising for DEFI and NFT projects which surely help the ALTcoins price to grow
the alt season is still there and is still visible, but it really hasn't been able to move it to be able to rise for alt itself. because there hasn't been a strong push from bitcoin's increase. Doge coin which is unstable due to an increase is only due to news encouragement from @elonmusk and does not guarantee that @elonmusk does not help in finance, so doge will not be lifted again but may sink to the bottom initially.
Defi is old but its development is not stable and does not meet the wishes of many users to be able to improve, it still needs hard work to survive well. while NFT is still too new and it will take time to prove it will be like defi or something else, let time will tell.
Dogecoin which has not moved again in the last month is only because the number of enthusiasts has started to decrease not because it has turned into a stable coin and in general Dogecoin is still very good even though the fundamentals are not the same as other coins, because Dogecoin is just a memecoin that has been around for a long time, so there's nothing wrong with Dogecoin.
indeed the doge benefited greatly from @elonmusk's role, unfortunately he did not provide financial encouragement so that the doge could continue to increase or at least survive, so currently it continues to decline even though it is not very deep but if there is no change from management to control of course it will probably go down to the bottom initially . management should have benefited from the increase, willing to develop from these funds to be able to make it stable.
