Really, 2018? I’ve always been in the “core culture ended on election night” camp. I’d say 2016 was the last core 2010s year, but that might be a stretch because I noticed signs of decline as early as mid June 2015. The core 2010s were shot on November 9, 2016. The plug was pulled on January 20, 2017 which was when it officially died. The remnants lingered through spring 2019. By summer 2019, they were gone. 2019 was a split and transitional year. Remember, Core 2010s =/= Mid 2010s. I think the Core 2010s was from 2012 to 2018, but the Mid 2010s didn't start until the late 2013 and did end in 2016 on election night. Just think about 2007, not a Mid 2000s year, but it's definitely in the Core 2000s.

I agree with 2012 starting the core 2010s, although I'd say fall 2012 began the core 2010s and the early 2010s to mid 2010s transition. Other than that, 2012 felt early 2010s and a part of the ElectroPop era. The transition to the mid 2010s was complete by fall 2013. I agree the mid 2010s died on election night 2016. 2017 and 2018 were the late 2010s, however core 2010s influences lingered in those years. I'm with you on 2007 being a late 2000s year, but in the core 2000s. It's the same case with 2003, which was an early 2000s year, but also in the core 2000s. To me, spring-fall 2012 felt almost the same. In fact, all of 2012 looks mostly identical.

I think the entirety of 2012 is the Core 2010s. If anything, Summer/Fall 2011 started showing signs of it IMO.

I don't know any changes in late 2012 when most of the things from that period were already there in early-mid 2012, even fall 2011.

Honestly 2011 and 2012 were identical pop culturally. If we say that 2012 is core 2010s, we might as well say that 2011 is core 2010s.

It seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I would actually go with 2019.
The Big Bang Theory, Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead were all still on-air, some of the last EDM (eg. Marshmello's "Here With Me") and indie-pop hits made it onto the charts, the MCU was still smashing records at the box office thanks to the release of "Avengers: Endgame" and "Spider-Man : Far From Home", while the year was characteristically defined by political instability much like the rest of the decade was.
2019 was something of a unique year in retrospect. Its overwhelmingly 2010s, but the pop culture was different from even 2017/2018 in a number of ways (eg. Billie Eillish becoming a household name and Tik Tok emerging onto the social media scene). It was kind of its own thing. That being said though, I have the belief that the core 2010s didn't end until the turn of the decade. In fact, I would even argue that we haven't completely left 2010s pop culture.

2019. It may be the last year of the decade but it's hardly any different to any other late 10s year. You have superhero movies, game of thrones and star wars being popular. You have the same type of memes, same type of games, same soundcloud rap and slow indie pop music, same politics with trump as president. 2020 was the end of the chronological 10s, cultural 10s and core 10s.

DEFINITELY 2018  This starter pack is a perfect reason why. Many 2010s staples like Game of Thrones, My Little Pony, Gumball, and How to Train Your Dragon ended in 2019. But those things had their finales in 2019 which still means they would make that year a core year.

2019 was like a weird little purgatory where early 2020s trends and celebrities were blowing up, but it was pre-COVID and 2010s culture was still huge.
I still don't see how some people think 2019 is identical to today, it feels like an eternity ago in late 2021.

2017 was the last full core 2010s year.
Q1 2018 was still fully core 2010s. Q2-Q3 2018 was a mix between the core 2010s and the E-Boy/E-Girl (or Tik Tok era or whatever weird transitional era we’re in). The core 2010s were over by Q4 2018.

2017 was absolutely the last full core 2010s year. I have a hard time calling the entire 2018 year the core 2010s since the second half didn't felt like that anymore.
