These are based on what I've read on sites like inthe00s, Reddit, and Popedia but I'm also gonna mention my two picks based on my experiences and opinions.
1987 and 1989 is one. Yes, Hair metal was popular between both years but 1987 still had that 80s Dance Pop sound, while 1989 was all New Jack Swing/Hip Hop based. Bush 41 comes to mind for the latter.
2000 and 2002 can also be mentioned. 2000 was all Y2K futurism, while 2002 has a more chill-vibe feel. Teen Pop was all the rage in 2000, not the case in 2002, and Glam rap, adult pop says it all. 2002 feels more exciting in a way for some reason.
Now, based on my experience and opinion, 2012 and 2014 is a great example for me to put here. 2012 has a more nightclub vibe while 2014 has a more morning rave feel. Gaming in 2012 was entirely different, my friends still talked about Call of Duty as it was in its last golden year, Club Penguin and Flash games sees its last wave of popularity, Electropop was still topping the charts, and Facebook was still heavily used by Teens and children like I. 2014 feels like a complete turn around despite still being a very upbeat year in my opinion. DJ Mustard became the 'it' sound for R&B and rap, Trap sees its first experimental popularity with Turn Down For What and Dark Horse, GTA 5 was TALKED ABOUT and how it lived to the hype, new artists like Meghan Trainor, Shawn Mendes, Ariana Grande were surfing the waves, flat design, and much much more. What else could be said? The differences are very obvious here
Lastly, 2018 and 2020. While quite similar culturally, that's not what we're focusing on as this is based on personal experience. In 2018, I hung out with friends all the time in 8th Grade, I travelled outside of my province and had a YouTube channel, I was a huge Fortnite fan, and I basically did anything a person would do before the pandemic. 2020, the year of Covid-19, turns that around. Can't hangout, can't eat outside much, had to annoyingly social distance, you know what 2020 is. Corona, corona, corona. Thankfully, I'm still able to play video games with my friends soo yay I guess 😅

even going by late 2004, Late 2006 still had some changes as well - ps3 and wii come out - The WB ended and now The CW - Malcolm in The Middle canceled - That 70s show canceled - Sam Goody closed - Suncoast closed - Facebook opens up to non colleges - TRL decline (talks of it being canceled start) - Youtube Youtube YOutube taking over lol - Early Scene - Early Early Early modern Hipster - Timbaland domination POP Late 2006 really kicked things into gear Honestly, the whole mid 2000s felt like a big transitional period. Your points are definitely spot on though for late 2006. For hipsters, in big cities such as LA and NY, you could already see hipsters emerging in late 2005/early 2006. I think I might have to do a dark and digital Ted talks style piece going from Late 2006 to when 2008 reality era started, when I think of this era I think of that white Helio phone and everything having white aesthetics that aren't even apple, also the crappy windows vista

2014 and 2016 feel a bit different. 2014 still had early 2010s holdovers, 2016 was sorta like the foreteller of the late 2010s.

You guys already got the good ones, lol. But I'll personally go with 2008 and 2010 even though it's already been talked about.
2008 had a mixture of pop rock, electro-pop and rap, MySpace and feature phones were everywhere, emo was still pretty fashionable, and Bush was president with the Great Recession and the stock market crash. Standard-definition/analog television was still going strong.
2010 had electropop domination with only a handful of hit rock songs ("Animal", "Whaddaya You Want From Me", etc), Facebook became the leader of social media, smartphones and HD television became more common, and we had Obama as president with a slowly improving economy.

It's interesting how quite a few people have mentioned 2007 and 2009. I agree that there were a number of differences between them (especially if you were to compare the second-half of 2009 with 2007), however I would still consider them to be more or less the same cultural era overall. The bigger difference for me would actually be comparing 2008 with 2010.
Most of these have already been covered:
* 1918 & 1920
* 1953 & 1955
* 1962 & 1964
* 2008 & 2010
As a dark horse, I feel as though the argument could also be made for 2009 and 2011.

To me it would be 1997 and 1999. Take it like this in '97 you still had the core 90s influence going around with some Y2K influences in there like the rising of boy bands with the Backstreet Boys or NSYNC when they were first coming up. You also had the rising of nu metal with bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit. With 1999, those influences were all in effect plus there were some 2000s influences beginning to build that year (fashion-wise). As far as technology not that much of a difference. For video gaming, you had the N64 being Nintendo's dominating console in those two years and you also had the Game Boy as well. To put it in simple terms, 1997 was like the lead in to the late 90s then 1999 is where that lead in exploded in popularity. If I had to give a specific date I would say June 1997-December 1999 were the late 90s years.

Late 90s numerically started in Fall 1996 but yes I will agree Summer 1997 is when the Late 90s kicked it into high gear, there were so many things by then

I am focusing more on popular culture than I am with technology. You did have music services like Napster coming out in 1999 which became a huge deal for digital media plus the first Blackberry phone releasing that year.

2004 and 2006. 2004(especially the first half) was still old school. Social Media was almost non-existent, film photography was still common(digital photography was still new), shows like Friends, Frasier, Sex In The City, Hey Arnold, Johnny Bravo and more 90s programs ended its run during this time, VHS was still common in 2004, 6th Gen Games, Movies in 2004 for the most part had that old school cinematic feel. Mainstream Music had Crunk, Nu Metal, Pop Punk, Early-Mid 00s R&B etc. CDs was still very common to listen to our favorite artists. Cartoons was mostly hand-drawn. 2006, Social Media got popular thanks to Myspace and Facebook, YouTube got big in 2006, Digital Photography got popular, Blu-Ray, 7th Gen Game Consoles like PS3 and Wii (and XBOX 360). The Movies of 2006 had a new and different cinematic look from the years prior. Mainstream Music had Snap, Timberland/Stargate R&B, Emo music, Digital Download was now the main musical format to listen to our favorite music. EMO is now a main subculture. Some TV shows was now shot in HD, Cartoon shows are now using Flash Animation. Even as a kid, I noticed a big shift between 2004 and 2006. 2004, especially the early half, was like the final gasp of the early 2000s, with the second half being strictly mid 2000s with barely any early 2000s influences left. Especially the fact that Early 2004 was like the last gasp of the Early 2000s and Late 2006 was like the first gasp of the Late 2000s makes them very distinct.

I agree with the user above, 2021 might be worlds apart from 2019.

2003 and 2005 might also be one.
2003 was still very early 2000s, while there were some mid 2000s influences coming in, there is no doubt that it was still majority early by far.
2005 was not only the peak of the mid 2000s, but there were also *late* 2000s influences coming in, such as Snap Rap (maybe more mid/late, 2005-07), T-Pain (!), Rihanna, Chris Brown.
Songs from 2003
- 50 Cent - In Da Club
- Lil Jon - Get Low
- Beyonce - Me, Myself and I
- Fabolous - Can't Let You Go
- B2K, Puff Daddy - Bump, Bump, Bump
- OutKast - The Way You Move
Songs from 2005
- D4L - Laffy Taffy
- Mario - Let Me Love You
- 50 Cent - Just A Lil Bit
- Ying Yang Twinz - Whisper
- Chris Brown - Run It
- T-Pain - I'm Sprung
