It does not feel like the 2010s much anymore
Yes it is in NAME lol but something feels different, I am usually very sensitive to changes that happen in the decades.
IE: 1997, 2001. 2006. 2008, 2011,2013,2016
It feels like different the whole vibe I can't really explain it, does not really have to do with music but just the atmosphere at the moment.
It just feels like this NEW vibe.

I don't really know what to make of the current time. I'm sure the music of 2019 will one day be looked back on as being very "Late 2010s" in the future. I mean, "Old Town Road" has arguably been the biggest hit of this year and it is a Country Trap song. Trap itself will probably fall out of favour in a couple of years (i'm predicting around Late 2021/2022), so I think that will strengthen the case of 2019 being a '10s cultural year.
We don't know what the 2020s has in stall, so it's probably a bit premature to claim that the 2010s are already over.

I feel like that now but I can't really put my finger on it, most of the fashion changes happened slowly from 2016-2018, music wise it is still trap with some tweaks like old town road.

It will be hard to say until the 2020s are fully under way, but I have felt like late 2018 onwards has a new feel to it that the rest of the 2010s didn't. A lot of trends are popular in 2019 that weren't in the rest of the decade, and I'm certain they'll last into the next decade.
Like, 2019 doesn't feel worn out like you'd expect the dying days of a decade to feel. It feels new, refreshing.

Like, 2019 doesn't feel worn out like you'd expect the dying days of a decade to feel. It feels new, refreshing. This is exactly what I am thinking, on that idea, The vibe I can't really pin point it but it feels different, and I am usually always super accurate when noticing a new vibe in culture (97,01,08,13) etc Lots of things that were prominent in the 2010s like Hipster and Game of Thrones died (With GOT dying in May) Just society in general feels a little I wouldn't say advanced but like Future ish. I also think 2019 does not feel worn out because there has not been a recession (yet) The economy is doing pretty good. Movies this Summer have been Awesome. Personally I dated someone who was a mentally ill nut job this year and forced me to go about in a different way how I chose my partner, so that in itself is a HUGE personal change for me because I have been dating the same kind of unstable people since the start of this decade. Fashion wise most of the changes started happening in late 2016, they became the norm during the 2017-2018 school year, so 2019 does not feel like it is really hanging onto that many old things.

I'm not seeing any signs of 2020s besides foldable phones. However, 2019 does kinda feel different from the rest of the 2010s. You can tell that most core 2010s trends such as EDM, GoT, Avengers-era Marvel, Hipster, and etc are done at this point. I feel very old when people are starting to become nostalgic over Minecraft.

Like, 2019 doesn't feel worn out like you'd expect the dying days of a decade to feel. It feels new, refreshing. That's largely because 2010s pop culture is still in full force and has shown no signs of fatigue. Towards the end of the 2000s, you had electropop and bright, tight-fitting clothing starting to pick up steam, which only served to highlight how outdated baggy clothes and rock/Emo music were fast becoming. It was a complete contrast of aesthetics. Regarding the transition into the 2020s, we haven't really seen anything like that as of yet. The MCU is still hugely popular (though i'm starting to wonder if people are actually beginning to become tired of it), Trap is still influencing many of the current trends in music and you can trace a lot of the current pop culture trends back to at least 2016/17, at the earliest.

Metallic clothing is now back. I will give it to you on MCU tho, it has no signs for slowing down.

The transition from the 00s to 10s was rather very quick. The transition from the 10s to 20s is slower than the last decade. It'll probably be similar to the transition from the 80s to 90s. The year is not over yet, we might see hints of early 20s culture in the Fall of 2019.

Metallic clothing is now back. Maybe where you are, but tight-fitting clothing (e.g skinny jeans) still seems to be the clothing style of choice where I live. I can't say that I've seen too many people around my age or younger wearing baggier clothing. The transition from the 00s to 10s was rather very quick. The transition from the 10s to 20s is slower than the last decade. It'll probably be similar to the transition from the 80s to 90s. The year is not over yet, we might see hints of early 20s culture in the Fall of 2019. Possibly. I still tend to think that Late 2019 and 2020 in general will both be '10s cultural years, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I don't know if I would say this year has felt futuristic when it seems half the culture is trying to drag us back into a sort of neo-feudalism.
However, some major trends and franchises did meet their end this year. As you all mentioned, there's the downfall of Game of Thrones, and the end of Phase 3 of the MCU is rather significant on its own even if the MCU as a whole goes on. Hipsterism is dead, and I don't know much about the EDM scene but I agree that it's not as ubiquitous as it once was. Weird as this may sound, the Hideo Kojima game Death Stranding, coming out this November, also seems like a real bookend to the decade in gaming, like an acknowledgement that it represents the end of a revolutionary chapter in gaming history. The post-Adventure Time world of "new cartoons" is also dying - with the end of Star vs. the Forces of Evil, the quirky and colorful era of children's TV programming in the spirit of that subversive high fantasy show is coming to an end.
Also, there have been some significant beginnings these last couple years that cannot be discounted. Yes, I think nostalgia for Minecraft and other late '00s trends cannot be discounted. I do also see what people mean about the seeming new fashion styles. Also, I think the Star Wars live-action TV series The Mandalorian is going to be a major game changer in the post-GoT world. Anybody looking for a new high fantasy show like GoT to replace it is looking in the wrong place; I think we can look forward to a decade of spectacle-based scripted TV, but I think with the coming of the Watchmen TV series and the possibly-in-development Foundation series (also by HBO), we might be in for some higher-brow fare as well.

Things for sure feel different, but I still get that general sense that its the 2010's. Similar to the 80's, the 2010's will probably slowly fade away during the beginning of the next decade.

2019 is an absolutely terrible year in my opinion. I'd say it encapsulates everything bad about the 2010s but not much of the good. It's a very backwards year, with much of the population wanting to force society back to the 1950s. If you aren't a white, straight, fundamentalist Christian who believes climate change is a hoax and the earth is 6000 years old, you aren't fit to even be called an American. Meanwhile, the economy is on the edge of collapse and soon things are going to get very, very bad. I'm personally still trying to recover from the last recession and the fact another is about to begin is going to be a big problem for me.
I'm also currently not really liking the music. I liked music in 2018 but I think 2019 has been such a bad year in my personal life that I just don't really enjoy much of the culture at all. It's a lot like 2013 and 2014 were for me.

I'd have to disagree. I'm not going to deny that there is a strong political divide in this country, but I also don't think society is "going back". If anything, young people are becoming more progressive and racism, homophobia, sexism, and all that stuff aren't tolerated anymore.
