Just found this little nugget in my recommended video section.
I don't even know how it got there, after clearing my cookies I haven't even viewed any generation or decade related video, and have been pretty much solely watching sports or music related videos, so this video must be getting viral.

Class of 2013 only had some furry cosplay party. Class of 2011 looked very Gen Y and then Class of 2014 looked very Gen Z/2010s, we don't know what happened in between. Someone needs to dig deeper.

There's definitely a noticeable difference between the Class of 2011 and Class of 2014, though whether you consider that to be a generational difference (or just a reflection of the evolution of 2010s pop culture) is up for debate. I lean more towards the idea that it was just a changing of the times. I know this has been mentioned a few times on the forum recently, but there's no doubting that emo/scene carried over into the first few years of the 2010s. If you look closely at the Class of 2010/11 scenes in the video, you can definitely see a few kids sporting emo-inspired looks. My Year 7 grade photo-album from February 2012 even has a few photos of kids in my grade who had emo-style haircuts and we were all only 12/13 years old, not even seniors. That style of haircut was gone just a year later.
I'd say that the growing popularity of smartphones probably played a part in it too. When I was in Year 7, I can remember overhearing kids on the bus on the way home from school saying things to each other like, "have you got a smartphone yet?" or "what type of phone do you have?". Kids would even lean over to the people sitting across from them to show what type of phone they had. Smartphones were still a bit of a novelty, even then. Yet, when I compare that experience to the ones I had while in Year 8, things were totally different. Selfies and #hashtags suddenly became a thing and smartphones had become an integral part of high school culture. Instagram and Snapchat were starting to become popular that year, while in 2012, Facebook was still the #1 social media site. I wasn't in high school back in 2011 (so I can't speak from a first hand experience), but just taking into account the growth in popularity of social media and smartphones in general, it's pretty clear that high school/youth culture changed pretty drastically during those years.

I love how there's probably a lot of 17 year olds watching that video laughing at how old the footage from the '00s looks. It hasn't even been that long since my high school years. How can that era look do old.

Yeah, it would definitely be more of a "changing of the times" thing. Not only that, but by observing the background scenery throughout this video, it's clear that this video does not take place solely at just one school or within just one region of the country. For example, during the Class of 2012 segment, there a bunch of palm trees in the background, indicating the shot would be located in somewhere like California or Florida, while during the Class of 2016 segment, there are more temperate-climate trees as well as a mountain in the background, indicating the shot would be located somewhere in the interior Mountain West.
Obviously, trends in the interior part of the country are never the same as those in more coastal regions, so there's that.

In the Class of 2014 video, they use a camcorder to take a SELFIE. What more proof do you need?

I think for the class of 2011 part of the video, it looks like the school is set in a small town most likely, they're usually behind on trends unlike the big cities throughout the U.S, especially in coastal areas. The class of 2010 video looks more modern than the 2011 one. The ones who live in small towns don't have access to trendy stores, they usually have to shop in places like Wal-Mart or thrift stores for clothing and don't have enough money to buy a smartphone.

Personally I wasn't in school that year, but that looks about right for 2010-11 to me, actually. Especially the girls' makeup, and my younger brother looked a lot like the dude in the video thumbnail. It really looks like peak Facebook era

It really looks like peak Facebook era I guess so but I've seen more modern clothing in the 2010/11 year than what the video showed:

Actually, it's kind of amazing how quick mobile phones took off for high school students. During my early years of high school, almost no kids had their own phones. Even by my last year, flip-phones were a status symbol that rich kids had, but you weren't made fun of for anything for not having a phone. By the early '10s, less than 10 years after I left school, that had totally changed and not having a phone would get you picked on.

I don't understand why the creator titled it "19 years of high school" if it's actually 23 years. I'm confused.

Shame how quick the 2012 and 2013 segments were. A lot of change happened. I think for the class of 2011 part of the video, it looks like the school is set in a small town most likely, they're usually behind on trends unlike the big cities throughout the U.S, especially in coastal areas. The class of 2010 video looks more modern than the 2011 one. The ones who live in small towns don't have access to trendy stores, they usually have to shop in places like Wal-Mart or thrift stores for clothing and don't have enough money to buy a smartphone. I completely agree about the 2011 part, no idea where it might be from though. While I'm assuming these videos were actually done in the fall (so end of 2010), it looks more like the 08-09 school year, if not before. Normally two-ish years wouldn't be so egregious, except right around then is when the remaining 00's look was getting dropped fast.

By the early '10s, less than 10 years after I left school, that had totally changed and not having a phone would get you picked on. Even middle schoolers, my 92 born cousin had a cellphone in 2006 and it was fairly common for teens to have phones in New York City back then since most kids use public transportation to get to school versus riding the yellow bus or having a parent to pick you up. Since 2010 I noticed an increase of grade-schoolers with phones which definitely wasn't a thing in the 2000s.
