The music was fairly consistent. Sure, I really can't tell which hit songs belong to 1980 and 1989 for instance. So true, I can tell a big difference between stuff from the early 80s (1980 - 1982) and late 80s (1988 - 1989). You can argue that the late 80s music was proto 90s.

2000s, 1970s, 2010s, 1980s all seem pop culturally consistent with the exception of a few years. 1960s and 1990s seem the least consistent.
80s identity was mostly established by the latter part of 1981-1982 despite having more noticeable 70s aspects (music aesthetics, fashion, color schemes etc) across pop culture at this time that seem foreign to other years in the rest of the decade, it was still not predominately 70s, and the 70s were either on their last legs, dated or quicky dying and mostly surface level and random holdovers. You can see the last significant 70s influences around 1984ish. Even late 1978-early 1981 seems to be leaning more to the 80s despite largely still being late 70s culturally. I remember 1988-1989 feeling like 50% 80s and 50% proto 90s and there are things that seem a bit dated in 89/1990, a small example would be Kylie Minogie and Madonna stuff from around then outside of certain trends and fashion that was closer to 1985-1987. 1989-1990 was leaning much more to the 90s for sure.
80s culture mostly seems consistent, even if it is not the most consistent decade, if you are counting either:
1981-1982 to 1988-1989
1983/1984 to late 87/early 1988
1982-1983 to winter of 1988/1989
End of 1979 or 1983 to 1989/1990.

2010s for sure, it's not very clear now, but by 2024/2026 we'll see some major changes that will make the 2010s seem rather stagnant

Also, weren't the 50s very consistent too? Like, really really consistent?

Most consistent: 1980s, 2010s close second
Least consistent: 1990s, 2000s close second

I already feel a change in music. COVID-19 Era 2020-2021 will feel like a different world by 2025. Excited!

The beginning and end of the decade is like night and day. 1980 had Jimmy Carter and 1989 had Bush Sr. IN terms of video games. 1980 was dominated by arcade gaming while home consoles are the norm in 1989. 1980:

I think people mean the 80s were relatively consistent when compared to the 60s, 70s and 90s. Similarly, the 10s are consistent when compared to the 90s, 00s and (maybe) 20s

That Paula abduel song sounds like it came out in 1985-1986. Dated for 1989.

Also, weren't the 50s very consistent too? Like, really really consistent? I think it depends on what aspect you are looking at. Music and entertainment changed a lot in the 1950s. Jazz and folk dominated in 1950 but rock & roll had taken over by 1959. That was also the decade that TV replaced radio for entertainment and radio shifted it's focus to music and talk.

In retrospect, the 80s actually weren't that consistent. There were no mobile phones whatsoever in the early 80s, video games were still perceived as a fad, and mostly dominated by American companies, not to mention generally lasting less than 10 minutes, and computers all ran command-lines, whilst home computers were the most popular type of computer. By the late 80s, video games were a firmly established industry ran mostly by Japanese companies and generally lasting a few hours, rich people and professionals already had cellphones (though they weren't popular amongst the general public until the late 90s), and PCs and GUI-based home computers were now the norm in computing.
The 2010s on the other hand are consistent to an almost boring degree. Go back and play games like Jetpack Joyride (released in 2011), and tell me it's not similar to the modern ad-infused mobile games of today. Video games between 2010 and 2019 isn't a drastic leap like 1970 to 1979, 1980 to 1989, 2000 to 2009, or ESPECIALLY 1990 to 1999. FFS many of us are still playing Minecraft like it's 2012. Not to mention all the frachsies and TV shows that have maintained popularity throughout the decade. Notch aside, the iPhone 4 isn't that different from the iPhone 11 or 12, unlike say, the Nokia 3310 to iPhone 3GS for example.
