I dunno, for me 2009 can still go either way. Gaming was still very much in a 2000s mindset (AAAs were still king and Minecraft was still in alpha) and emo/scene fashion would manage to hold out until 20-freakin-13, but in music electropop was exploding and politically Obama changed EVERYTHING. For the latter, it meant I didn’t have to be embarrassed about being an American anymore (hahaha...) and the atmosphere felt suddenly global and cosmopolitan. To that extent, it was quite different already from the ‘00s. Well, this is how I see it. Politically and economically, 2009 was already quite 2010s. In terms of socially, fashion and internet culture, 2009 can go either way. For technology, video games, movies, TV shows and music, it leans more 2000s. Overall, I think 2009 was mostly a 2000s year and I don't think we were mostly in the 2010s until about late 2009 but, that is just my opinion though.
For music in the early 2010s, there was much more to the music scene than just electro-pop (a quick look at the billboard top 100 shows that). Even the electro-pop though in 2009 had an urban/2000s sound to it compared to the stuff from 2010/11ish (which had a more dancy/european sound to it).
The last part you typed is also so true, Bush as the president was just getting embarrassing between 2005 - 2008 lmao. Barack Obama being the president and the changing pop culture was such a fresh breathe of air 2009, I was sooo sick of the 2000s by then, there is only so much Dirty Rap, Urban Pop, Post-Grunge and Emo I can take lol.
