Ok so I was literally just going through a whole lot of my family photoes taken between 2007-2012, and there was a picture of me, my sister and our friends in February 2010. In the picture my sisters friend was on her iPod Nano, my friend was using a flip phone and I was listening on an MP3 player, that alone makes 2010 quite dated, LOL  . Haha, I know the feeling.  My Mum and I still had dial-up until October of that year, so that alone makes the year feel pretty outdated now! I had it until maybe early 2009.

the last full year which still had a residual "2000s" vibe. Eh, I don't know about that. Look at this trailer from 2013: That's still some late '00s clothing right there, and the general campiness suggests a movie that could just as easily have come out in 2007. Not to mention even in the depths of 2012/13, there were still emo bands actually charting. At least here in the US, I don't know about AUS as much.

Not exactly but 2012/2013 has more in common with 2009 than 2019 despite being 2010s years..

Late 2000s fashion? No hair bands, no flared jeans, no hair swoops, no layering, no striping, no big belts =/= late 2000s fashion
2012 and 2013 are dated in their own right, but they're very defining in that the 2010s fashion had fully found its identity by then.

I agree that the cultural 2000s didn't end once the decade came to a close, however I would argue that the only year that was really caught between the two axes of influence was 2010 (and even that is somewhat pushing it). 2011-2013 were undeniably Early 2010s cultural years, IMO, and any residual 2000s elements that were still remaining at the time were mostly irrelevant and no longer influential to the trajectory of pop culture. The movie trailer you shared doesn't come across to me as something that could have been released in 2007, to be honest. I actually think it seems quintessentially Early 2010s. It's one of those cheesy, B-Grade movies that was likely inspired by the The Walking Dead becoming a cultural phenomenon and reviving the "zombie" genre. You're right that some Emo bands still had chart successes during 2012/2013, but most had shifted away from the emo/pop-punk sound by that point. For instance, Fall Out Boy's "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark" is a power-pop song.

The 2000s became the 2010s mostly right on time. I remember La Roux - Bulletproof being the first song that sounded completely different from the 2000s and that came out in the early months of 2010.

I do remember when Warm Bodies came out thinking it looked a little old already, but not by more than a few years. As far as the genre goes, camp has its highs and lows in popularity, but pretty much always has its niche.

Could we even a song that is so obviously a callback to 1980s synth pop new by then...?

Honestly, I think you could make a strong case for 2010 as being a "hybrid" year for 2000s and 2010s pop culture in general. Many people make it out to be a quintessential year of the 2010s, but 2010 still had significant cultural ties to the 2000s and I can remember even thinking that at the time. For instance, it was the final year post-grunge and the Emo scene were popular, digital cameras were still used and smartphones had either not yet emerged or were only just starting to explode in popularity (depending on where you live).

Once we entered the 2010/2011 school year, the 2000s were dying real fast.

While I wouldn't go so far as to say it defined the look or feel of the times in the 00's, it was noticeably absent in the 2010s.
