Politics would probably be an obvious one. The politics of the early 2010's is worlds away from the politics of the late 2010's. Back in 2010-2012, black lives matter was mostly unheard of and school shootings weren't as common (it mainly started with Sandy Hook, which was in very late 2012 anyway), Obama was still in his first term, and nobody would ever think Trump would eventually become president.

Music is also a huge one. Streaming services became commonplace. Trap, EDM, and synthpop dominated the music industry while electropop, snap/crunk, and rock music died out. Music used as internet/social media memes (The Harlem Shake, for example) was also popular. There were also popular music genres that were popularized from the internet like vaporwave and lo-fi/chillhop. So, those are some aspects.

The only other aspect I can possibly think of would be television. We went from streaming being a non-existent thing at the start of the decade to it becoming the most popular medium for watching entertainment. Otherwise, I think the 2000s were generally more transitional when it came to things such as music, technology etc.

And the Aurora one as well. 2012 had multiple mass-shootings actually but just got overshadowed by sandy hook.

After the isolated incidents of Columbine and Virginia Tech, Aurora was the beginning of the ceaseless cycle of headlining mass shooting, "thoughts and prayers", zero action, rinse and repeat as I remember. Sandy Hook just lasted longer in the news due to the infamous conspiracy theories surrounding it.

Parkland in 2018 will definitely be remembered as a significant mass shooting that "broke the camel's back" so to speak, because it resulted in the largest youth-led protest in American history, March for Our Lives. It also heightened the frequency of active shooter drills in schools, it had widespread student walkouts (which I hated because it wasted valuable school time), and had more of a pivotal role in the 2018 midterms by persuading young adults to vote.
