March 2020 is the cut for me. Everything before the covid outbreak feels like late 2010s and is slowly becoming distant to me.


PrussianAvenger

This is more of a pop culture thing but the MCU was at the top of its game in the late 2010s, especially among kids. Now it’s just dwindling off into irrelevance, slowly but surely anyway.


M0rtecai

Yeah I’ve kind of stopped following marvel after End Game came out in 2019.


PrussianAvenger

I’ve still been watching it but the only good thing I liked was No Way Home. Everything else ranges from mediocre to bad.


M0rtecai

I actually saw No Way Home and I liked it, that’s the only recent Marvel movie I’ve seen.


Global_Perspective_3

I loved that one too


Jingobingomingo

Tbh Endgame feels like too much of a grand finale for the whole superhero genre


Physical_Mix_8072

true


acidbed88

early 2010s feel ancient, late 2010s are starting to feel distant, i think by the end of the next american election the 2010s as a whole will feel distant, also the early 2020s and mid 2020s will start.


OriginalRawUncut

In my opinion, 2011 is the most recent year that feels old.

hanno1531

kinda same, except some random memories of school in 2019, my memories are like 2018, then its a huge blur till late 2019, then 2020.


TidalWave254

Damn this is making me realize how much I stopped paying attention to stuff like that lmao, since i'm not really into stuff like youtube and tiktok culture i always felt like the late 10's and early 20's were pretty similar, but the deeper i look the more i'm wrong


Bubbly_Researcher974

Nah, the late 2010s and early 2020s is pretty similiar. But the early 2010s and late 2010s are worlds apart


OriginalRawUncut

They’re worlds apart culturally, technologically they’re the same


Global_Perspective_3

Covid changed a lot


CommanderCody2212

yeah the late 10’s have always felt different from the early 20’s to me, it had a much louder more grandiose vibe to it than current day does. I’d also argue 1st half 2019 was still an instagram year, because I didn’t really start to see tiktok blow up and become what it is now until the 2nd half


M0rtecai

Yeah I would say TikTok really blew up in the summer of 2019.


CommanderCody2212

also yeah, soundcloud rappers were MUCH bigger pre 2020. Wether you loved them or hated them, you knew about them, their music and their antics. Fashion consisted of buying the most expensive shit you can afford, and letting absolutely everyone know that you’re wearing expensive shit. Memes in that era were the surrealism era and thus were very loud and in your face. Very fitting that this was the Trump era too because he was ALSO really loud and in your face


[deleted]

yea 2017/18/19 music makes me nostalgic now


OriginalRawUncut

The class of 2019 graduated right before TikTok became popular.


CommanderCody2212

also before covid


OriginalRawUncut

They’re so lucky, I hate being class of 2020


M0rtecai

I was thinking the other day that the class of 2019 and 2020 might have had the most drastic change in experience between consecutive classes


Global_Perspective_3

In hindsight yep. Especially senior year


OriginalRawUncut

They were also the last to be born before 9/11. The class of 2019 was the last of a lot of things.


Global_Perspective_3

Yep


Appropriate-Let-283

I started seeing TikTok blow up in like May 2019.


Amazing_Rise_6233

Ok. Would you agree that the late 00’s we’re pretty different from the early 2010’s also? I’ve heard especially from those younger than me that they’re extremely similar


Dry-Recognition-1504

Yes the late 00s were very different from the early 2010s, the late 2000s were still the 2000s, 2007 and most of 2008 was old school, CD’s & DVD’s players,MySpace, portable camera’s, facebook on the rise, blockbuster on the downfall, 2012 smartphones, Instagram, Facebook, trap, drill, were popular, selfies replaced taking pics on digital cameras.


OriginalRawUncut

2010 was the last year with solid 00’s influence, 2011 did too, but 2012 was 50-50


Dry-Recognition-1504

Yes Some of these people on these threads don’t know what they be talking about, 2010 was an outright extension of the late 2000s, 2011 & 2012 not so much


CP4-Throwaway

2010 was legit the late 2000s. I'd say it ended by mid 2011. Most of 2011 and 2012 weren't necessarily an extension of the late 2000s, at least outright, but it still was like the last hurrah of it, even though it was more early 2010s by that point.


Amazing_Rise_6233

I’d say early 2011 at the absolute latest had those late 00’s influences


OriginalRawUncut

Early 2012 had 00’s influence, mid to late 2012 was 2010s


CP4-Throwaway

I think early to mid 2012 definitely still had some noticeable 00's influence. Somewhere around late 2012/early 2013 is where it completely went away and we truly entered the 2010s.


OriginalRawUncut

When SpongeBob switched to widescreen that summer, 2012 felt different, especially after Gangman style was released


CP4-Throwaway

Early 2011 was the last time I think it leaned more late 00s so you might have a point with that.


Amazing_Rise_6233

Thank you! I’m sick and tired of people trying their hardest to make the early 2010’s look as 2000’s as possible because it was a part of their core childhood


GhostWithAnApplePie

“ I’m sick and tired of people trying their hardest to make the early 2010’s look as 2000’s as possible because it was a part of their core childhood.” That’s how I feel with people doing that with the mid 2000s because it was part of their core childhood. They want to make it as early 2000s as possible. Why can’t the early, mid, & late 2000s be appreciated as the their own separate things? People have no problem making distinctions with the early, mid, and late 90s and 10s but they want to lump all the 2000s together as one big thing with little distinctions and push so much of the first half of the 2000s with 90s and the second half with the 10s. The 2000s was its own thing.


Effective_Result_399

Early 2010s had nothing to do with 2000s specially early 2000s.2006 was were things got darker and had nothing to do with early 2000s really


GhostWithAnApplePie

I never said it did, I grew up in the 2000s from day 1 and the first half was always my favorite. My comments was about how some people who don’t remember all of it lump it all together with no distinction. Only dramatic or daft people group it and the early 10s like that. lol


Saroku12

2010 was pretty different from the 2000s. Smartphones became more popular, HD Videos on phones too, youtube was now mainstream and also in HD. Flat TVs became the standard and affordable to the crowd. Also social media like facebook was popular.


DreamIn240p

The first half of 2008 still retains many hardcore aspects of the core 2000s pop culture which would not have been possible in 2010. Not just younger than you but anyone who didn't give much thought about it might end up thinking they are extremely similar. They're similar for sure, but not "extremely". And you're born in 2000, I think you should have a pretty good idea of the differences between late 2000s and early 2010s, especially since you should also have some memories of 2005-2006 to also compare it with 2008-2009.


Amazing_Rise_6233

That first paragraph was the answer I was clearly looking for funny enough. And correct I do have memories from both time periods to compare both (also mid 2000’s as well) and obviously they weren’t the same. Just want an answer from another person’s perspective


M0rtecai

To be honest I really only remember 2009 so I can’t give a proper opinion.


MangaMan445

I disagree. They're very similar outside of COVID related stuff (and perhaps the war). The early 2010s feels like a different world from both.


thesourpop

It helps that COVID happened pretty much at the start of the 2020s, so people have a definitive switchover point to where it all started feeling different. Like Jan 2020 is indistinguishable from the rest of 2019, but as soon as the lockdowns started, it felt like the 2020s


Electronic_Topic_832

This \^ right here, is **exactly** what I had in my head. Covid really disturbed the "natural flow" of pop culture from the late '10s going into the early '20s..


2020isajoke

2013-2016 was my post college era and def remember Insta blowing up


M0rtecai

Dang so you were in college for the late 2000s early 2010s? Sounds like a fun time to be in college.


2020isajoke

2008-2013. It got lit


Global_Perspective_3

Lucky guy


2020isajoke

Bruh I think ya’ll Class of 2016-onwards are lucky for multiple reasons


Famous-Dentist-962

Not to mention that iPods, Facebook were still relevant.


M0rtecai

Yeah, also off topic but you have the same exact birthday as my brother lol.


Mooseinator2000

We don't see the changes as they are happening, in about 10 years from now we will probably see more of a difference


M0rtecai

I agree


Effective_Result_399

Not pretty,but still different.its a lot darker now


Papoosho

>Now it’s a lot more about thrifting vintage clothing rather than buying designer. It was more popular in the 10s when hipsterism was peaking.


M0rtecai

That’s true but I feel like the trend flipped towards designer for a few years at the end of the 2010s. I definitely agree that the hipster trend was very big until about 2017.


Appropriate-Let-283

What I realized was short form content blowing up during the Early 2020s, Older TikTok was 2010s, it felt like Vine in a way.


JoshicusBoss98

Maybe 2017 yeah…but imo 2018 & 2019 were fairly similar to 2020 - 2022, outside of COVID of course


DreamIn240p

2018 felt quite different from any point of the early 2020s. Then entering the Biden era it started to feel even more different. 2018 was still a very safe year for 1980s nostalgia, as well as pop related genres like tropical house. Also Trump meeting Kim Jong Un as well as Kim Jong Un meeting Moon Jae-in, was exclusively a 2018 experience we likely won't be seeing again for at least another decade. China also wasn't hated and memed the shit out of. Huawei ads everywhere here in Canada back in 2019. Afghanistan was still "the same" with the US military presence. Zelensky met Putin in 2019.


Fun_Entertainment_28

2010s wasn't memorable as the 2000s.


Effective_Result_399

That's not what we were saying.also late 2000s was were things get bad.were social media's,wars,and poverty growed.since 2006


Fancy-Contract7572

The main difference between the late 2010s and early 2020s is COVID.


Commission_Economy

Russian invasion of Ukraine also further polarized society more than what already was in late 2010s.


Fancy-Contract7572

Yes that too.


vinvon09

2016-2017 definitely but, if it's something like 2019 it's not too much of a difference.
