The 2010s died a slow death. The core 2010s definitely felt like they abruptly ended the night Trump got elected, but the three years following that were sort of a gradual shedding of all the hallmarks of the decade: hipsters, Game of Thrones and Adventure Time, the end of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy and the "Infinity Stones" saga of the MCU, the slow and agonizing death of EDM, the rise of bedroom pop, '80s nostalgia beginning with Stranger Things, etc.
Then January 3, 2020 and the death of the Iranian general Soleimani threw a sudden wrench into the gears of what the 2020s may have been based on those gradual changes. Follow that up with possible WWIII, failed impeachment trial, coronavirus pandemic, and probable global recession if not depression, and suddenly the face of the 2020s looks very different from anything we might have predicted based on dying 2010s trends in 2019.

Oh please with the twitter WWIII meme, everyone has forgotten with that already.
People back in 2017/2018 did the exact same thing at the sight of North Korea rockets.

North Korea testing rockets by sending them into the ocean and one nation actually firing rockets at another are two entirely different things.

It depends on which way you look at it. I still don't think we have moved on from the 2010s from a pop culture point of view, even with all what is going on in the world at the moment. In fact, there really doesn't seem to be anything on the horizon, at least not from what I've observed, which suggests that we are entering into a new cultural era. The Top-40 charts are mostly still comprised of songs which debuted last year and 2020 has been a pretty sub-standard year for new music releases so far. Think about it, we're almost in April already, but can you really think of any songs, movies etc. that will define 2020 as a year? Can anyone name something that is uniquely 2020? The coronavirus has had a huge impact on the entertainment industry. The world may be a very different place to what it was six months ago, but from a pop culture perspective, we're still very much in the Late 2010s and we will be for quite some time. Anyway, to go back on topic, I would say that the cultural zeitgeist of the 2010s began in the second-half of 2009, with it's peak having been between 2013 to 2016, and we still haven't quite moved on from the zeitgeist. E- boy E - girl sub culture ( Emo nite def helped propel this ) ( Tik Tok put the cherry on top) for fashion its changing rapidly, you won't really see its effects for another 8 months and maybe 15 or 16 due to the virus because stores like h&m and Zara take time to steal and make stripped down versions of the runway, for instance remember Yeezy Season when it first debuted it took Zara and h&m 8 months to copy the look and then EVERYONE was wearing t shirts with holes in them, yeezy looking sneakers, beige, muted grey etc etc. But back to what I am saying, lots of things that will be 2020s esque had their roots planted in 2019 and might even take longer due to this Virus. As for music you prob will not see any change to atleast late 2020 or early 2021, pop culture is at a freeze right now.

As early as 2017 you could see the culture of the 2010s dying.

Definitely not a 2020s year at all.

Definitely not a 2020s year at all. not at 2020s year and not a 2010s feeling year either, lets be honest before this virus happened 2019 was already feeling different.

I would say March 2020 was the month the 2010s died.
I agree with whoever said that the '10s peaked in 2016 and has been slowly dying through the Trump years. I'd still say that the 2010s zeitgeist lasted until just a month or two ago depending on where you live.

I heard George R. R. Martin is FINALLY writing Winds of Winter in his self-isolation. I remember saying "Oh, I bet he won't finish that book before 2017!" back in 2014, as if 2017 was a long time in the future. If he dies from corona there will be riots.

If he dies, I don't think anyone will care. GoT season 8 has seemingly tanked the entire franchise overnight. I can only speak anecdotally, but even the diehard fans I know do not seem excited about any new books.
