Does early 2017 feel personally and culturally different or is it still the same right now?
I see some differences such as Future Bass and Tropical House still being popular, Metro Boomin-style trap was the sound of the genre, bezel smartphones were still the default look of the device, and fashion is mostly athleisure.

The Coronavirus says it all, but let's say the virus didn't happen, would pop culture still feel different from Early 2017? I'd say so
Tiktok wasn't known about yet, people used Musical.ly, Instagram, Snapchat, and thats about it. Music is somewhat different from today, not a lot of emo rap came out aside from XXXTentacion, and it was 90% mumble rap, as opposed to at most 50% of today. EDM was completely different as well, Future Bass was still the norm back then, along with Tropical House all of which were replaced with Future House or even Dark Alt/Indie music by Billie. Pop music was fairly different as well, 2017 pop was still influenced by EDM or even pop rock, unlike now where we have bedroom pop. Any song from Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber wouldn't pass today, as its too optimistic to be so. As for TV, its mostly similar, Riverdale, 13 Reasons Why, and Stranger Things were very popular in Netflix, and they still are despite 13 Reason's ending. That being said, Game of thrones and Walking Dead have either ended or are past their prime.

Rappers like Dababy, Jack Harlow, Roddy Ricch, Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Mosey, and Lil Baby weren't a thing in that time.

I would say summer 2016 is the last to be a bit different from today

No. 2016/2017 did not have a worldwide pandemic with no end in sight. 2020 is the start of a new era. 2016/2017-2019 was its own thing.

I mean it's obviously not that different, but there's been undeniable changes that happened since then. For example, stuff like TikTok weren't a thing yet. Now that app is extremely popular.

Actually, now that I think about it, no. When you take the pandemic out of the equation, 2017 had mostly the same style of songs, same corporate trash YouTube has become (though a bit more freedom than now), PewDiePie was huge then and huge now, many of the same YouTubers were popular, and terrible gaming business practices that 2020 has actually had many of them start in 2017. If it wasn't for the pandemic i'd say 2017 and 2020 have pretty minimal differences overall, aside from a few things that I notice.

Late 2016/early 2017 is not completely different today, there are still similarities. I'm saying there's a noticeable difference between that period and 2020, even without the pandemic.

Any year in human history feels very different to 2020 on a personal level. Even 2019 feels like two years ago instead of one for me.
As for culturally, I guess but not by much if you take out the context. I feel like the baggier fashion of nowadays is quite distinct from the post-hipster, high brands-obsessed 2017. Popular music was strongly defined by the emergence of SoundCloud rap while nowadays it's all about anything that gets big on TikTok instead. Cinema didn't really have a chance to do anything this year.

The first-half of 2017 still had some lingering indie-pop on the charts, I remember Milky Chance's "Cocoon" and Portugal.The.Man's "Feel It Still" were particularly huge hits at the time. Mumble-rap was also just starting to take off. There are some differences as you can expect when comparing any two years (especially one with a global pandemic), but otherwise, I would consider the 9th November 2016 to now to be one long cultural era; the "SoundCloud, Trump" era. The pop culture was generally the same as what it is now and for me at least, it actually feels as though it was the beginning of the era we are in today.
Early 2017 seems like a world away when it comes to my personal life. I turned 18 in March of that year, and I wasn't even out in the workforce yet; I was in my final year of high school. My parents and grandparents were all still on speaking terms with each other, we only had our labrador Sally living with us at home and now she unfortunately isn't even with us at all. I still got to hang out with my friends during breaks five days a week. In many years, I actually wish I could go back to that time.

Mumble rap was gaining steam since Late 2014 though, Future, Rich Gang, Chief Keef, and Rae Sremmurd
