If i were honest, 2013 was a year that kind of brought me to a new introduction of shows, and of course cartoon networks 20th anniversary. I would consider 2013 to be long yet fun too. Television was still a thing for me watching cartoons on saturday morning like yu gi oh zexal and cubix on the cw4kidz toonzai block and playing some nintendo DS games. Honestly so many things happened in 2013 that I cannot quite remember that much about the year...

Why 2013 was more early 2010s:
-Electropop still having chart success
-Swoop was more common than undercuts
-Facebook was still being used by teens
-iPhone still had that skeuomorphic look
-No ISIS, no BLM, no SJWs, no Alt-Right
-Trap wasn’t successful on the charts(Harlem Shake was Trap EDM fusion, not straightforward Trap)
-Breaking Bad still has new episodes
-iTunes was still relevant
-Memes were more image macros than the edgy, ironic dank memes of today.
-8th gen gaming truly didn’t take off until November 2013
Why 2013 was more mid 2010s:
-Netflix introduced original shows
-Vine
-Smartphones were a mush have
-Miley Cyrus changed her image
-Royals started the anti pop movement
-Instagram and Snapchat taking over Facebooks popularity by the fall of that year
-Obama’s second term
-Hipster aesthetic is slowly taking over the bright colored neon fashion
-Selfie culture started to dominate

Also, in April 2013 smartphone sales overtook regular phone sales total. 2013 was also when things like Toontown and Blockbuster died, Google+ was introduced to YouTube, and YouTube itself changed it's layout. 2013 basically killed all 2000s influences too.

Leaning a bit more towards early 10s. It has the happy go lucky early 10s vibe that is heavily diminished in following years.

Oversaturated!!! The 2007 of the early 10s So true. Especially with the release of the iPhone 5S that year, which was like, the biggest iPhone since the original one.

2013 was a weird year but still a million times better than 2018/2019. Given your profile you'd probably like the fact that Avicii was at his peak in 2013. It's sad he died in 2018.

This is just my own view of 2013.
To me, 2013 was a year that was mid-2010s culturally, but with a carefree early 2010s mindset.

2010-2012 is undoubtedly the early 10s. The early 2010s felt as if 10s culture was still developing. The early 10s had a late 2000s influence too. 2013, however seemed to be the first true 10s year, and less of a early 10s year: more of a mid/core 10s year. Club music started to decline in popularity as songs became less upbeat. Wrecking Ball, We Can't Stop, Blurred Lines, Royals and Get Lucky come to mind, the words "selfie" and "swag" started to see more widespread usage, the Harlem Shake dominated, Vine was founded, Doge became popular, and twerking rose to popularity. 2013 seems to be a shift from early 10s to core 10s, and in 2013 all 2000s influences were 100% dead. What are your opinions on this? Internet culture: Very early 2010s, with rage comics and impact font memes still relevant throughout the year. Vine really took off in mid-2013 though and many iconic Vines were from 2013. Youtube in 2013 was also still mostly early 2010s with Pewdiepie, Smosh, Jenna Marbles, and Niga Higa being the biggest Youtubers. British youtube was also really big this year and Youtubers like Zoella and Marcus Butler. Creepypastas were also still pretty big this year. Gaming: still 7th gen until November 2013 when the PS4 and the Xbox One were released. Gaming was still single-player focused with games like GTA V, The Last Of Us, Bioshock Infinite, and Tomb Raider. Minecraft was still at its peak this year. Extra: 2013 is literally in the early 2010s. It's funny you mention that, because I actually personally think the opposite happened. I think the late 2000s/early 2010s was heavily multiplayer-centric, and the mid-2010s saw a return towards a single-player focus. Games like FNAF, Undertale, and the aforementioned The Last of Us defined gaming in the mid 2010s. There were much more story-driven adventure games compared to the early 2010s. The early 2010s was very much about multiplayer shooters like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Team Fortress 2. However, with both Halo 4 and Call of Duty Ghosts being poorly received, and a general backlash against FPS games in general, we saw a shift away from this in favor of more experimental single-player experiences. This was also the peak of indie games with many of them having become popular thanks to lets players. I do agree however that, all things considered, 2013 was a transitional year for gaming, especially console gaming thanks to the introduction of new consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One. As for the internet, I disagree for the most part. I'd say more mid 2010s with certain exceptions. Internet culture was in a transitional state, not quite MLG era yet, but also not top text/bottom text rage comic trollface era either. Facebook was beginning to decline with Instagram exploding in popularity. Indeed, you saw selfies become popular in 2013, and peak in 2014-2015. You are right that "swag" is very early 2010s, but that's because CaseyElectabuzz got it wrong regarding that word. It was at its peak in 2012, and I remember EVERYONE using the word swag in 2012. 2013 in fact is when it started to decline. YouTube was very transitional this year. The year started off with Smosh becoming the biggest YouTuber, taking back a position they last held in 2008, but the end of the year saw PewDiePie become the biggest YouTuber. I see PewDiePie as more mid 2010s, not early. More importantly though, lets players IN GENERAL were blowing up this year, to a degree they hadn't in the past. Lets players were not popular in 2011 (the quintessential early 2010s year). I don't remember British YouTubers being big that year. Everyone I knew was too busy watching PewDiePie and lets play channels...and hating on the new layout. Yeah, that's the other thing, YouTube had another rebrand in 2013, and with it, came the removal of what little customization options left there were following the Cosmic Panda update. More infamously though, YouTube merged with Google+, forcing people to create a Google+ account to post comments. As a result, you saw memes like "Bob is building an army" that year. As for that last part, you're right that 2013 was literally in the early 2010s...1/3 of the year

I feel like 2013 had more in common with the mid-2010’s than early 2010’s, especially 2014 and 2015. 2013 isn’t really more or less like 2010 than 2016 IMO. Even though 2010 was pretty much early 2010’s culture, I feel like the year had too much late 2000’s leftovers to feel even related to 2013, which is the year late 2000’s fashion and scene was pretty much dead. Also, the fact that everybody was talking about Trump in 2016 was enough to differenate it from 2013. Even the music sounded very different. I think 2013 was more like 2010 than 2016. Just the fact both years had a carefree attitude that 2016 did not AT ALL, PS3/Xbox 360 still being the dominant form of gaming, YouTubers like Smosh still being popular, and the fact teens actually gave a shit about Facebook in 2010 and 2013 links them together in my opinion.

2013 was very TRANSITIONAL. It was prodominitely an early 10s year but it didn't feel that way. It was very transformative. 2013 was also the best year of the 2010s for pop culture.
