Is the current culture of 2019 still core 10s?

Bump

We are definitely not in the the core 2010s. Taylor Swift isn’t a hitmaker anymore, Post Malone is the main pop artist now, and TikTok memes are influencing popculture.

No, we left the core 2010s like 2 and a half years ago imo

IKR, so many stuff happened around mid-late 2017:

-Fortnite: Battle Royale
-Rockstar solidifying Post Malone's stardom
-The reveal of iPhone X
-The second of Stranger Things
-Bodak Yellow introducing Cardi B
-The rise of Soundcloud rap
-Mi Gente
-Havana making Camila Cabello a star
-The remodeled Youtube logo
-The Nintendo Switch
-Taylor Swift's Reputation

In mid 2016-early 2017, there were seeds of late 2010s culture being planted, making it a transitional period and the late 2010s as we know it went full force by mid/late 2017.

I was actually reading some astrology not sure if you are into it but apparently 2020 will be a reboot year of culture, in that is has a NEW feeling.
This is from reddit which kind of has to do with it.

"If there's any correlation to the current period, it is probably the late 1930's. Uranus was also in Taurus during that period, with Saturn and Pluto in hard aspect. It was an era of large gaps in wealth and political inequality and increased geopolitical tensions defined by new rising powers, autocratic leadership, and intractable trade problems. Given that over the next 10 years, we have seven outer planet cycles concluding, it is a big possibility that human civilization is going to get a big reboot over the coming years, starting with next year, when both Saturn/Pluto and Jupiter/Saturn conjunct, the latter at zero degrees Aquarius, signaling a new beginning in our political and economic development. Whether that augers for war or revolution remains to be seen, but the environment is sure to remain unstable as technological change disrupts entire societies."


The 2010s have felt disconnected since atleast late 2017, and if these astrological alignments are true it looks like about to get even more disconnected.

Things that I feel set November 2016 and onward apart from the core '10s:

1. Stranger Things - Although the first season was released in fall 2016, this was a sign of things to come, such as a more powerful push of '80s nostalgia.
2. The end of some classically '10s shows, such as Game of Thrones (2019) and Adventure Time (2018). Adventure Time all but defined the core '10s for many people - not just kids (some who were in elementary school but would now be starting college), but some adults like myself as well. It had been running since 2010, so it's little wonder that it should be seen that way.
3. The Nintendo Switch - I don't think it's an exaggeration to say this has changed things not only for Nintendo, but for console gaming as a whole.
4. Lo-fi - Acts like Post Malone and Rex Orange County.
5. Speaking of Rex, bedroom pop is becoming "the thing the kids listen to." And by kids, I mean Gen Z. Oh yeah, and bedroom pop is an overwhelmingly Gen Z genre, making this the first step in them taking over production of pop cultural works.
6. The politics, obviously. It seems like the entire world order is falling apart, and I'm not just talking about the child concentration camps here in the U.S.; China is repressing Hong Kong and committing genocide against the Uyghur Muslims, India has begun committing genocide of Kashmiri Muslims, the U.S. has betrayed the Kurds, Brazil is burning the Amazon, and it seems like there is no longer a secure, liberal international world order anymore. It's falling into anarchy.
7. This one is much more subtle, but the fashion seems like an '00s throwback now. I saw a kid wearing a beanie and sweatshirt with long sleeves and fingerless gloves at the end - that's like right out of 2007 as it is.

Just a few I could think of off the top of my head. Anybody got others?

Can we please not get bogged down in discussing "vibes" and whether or not 2019 is a split year. Sorry, but that's decadeology in it's purest form and it is banned on Popedia. Thanks.
