Which year is 2010 culturally closer to? 2000 or 2020?
I would pick 2020, regardless of pandemic or not.

I would pick 2020, regardless of pandemic or not. 2010 was pretty much firmly 2010s, even late 09 and very early 2010 was 2010s with a just a bit more visible late 2000s holdovers and influences than spring 2010 to 2012. We still haven’t exited the late 2010s completely. Early 2000 was the last part of the pure Y2K era and the rest was just either slow departure from it, a transition or mini preview era with early 01 that was a bit more connected to the proper early 2000s (mid 01-03ish) depending how you see it.

Actually gonna say 2000 aside from the technology, society and politically it's closer to 2000.

I feel like this is the type of question that's best answered at a later time. Because of cognitive biases we tend to find the differences between 2000 and 2010 but look for similarities between 2010 and 2020. It is an uneven way of looking at things.

While 2010 is quite a bit different from both, I'd say it has a lot more in common with 2000. I think decades from now, the 2000s and the 2010s will be looked at as one era, similar to how we look at the 1900s and 10s or the 1930s and 40s as a single era.
Social media played a different role in our culture in 2010 than it does today. The pandemic and it's impact can not be downplayed either.
Since a lot of the debate here focuses around music, the 2010s as a whole shared more in common musically with the 2000s than it did with the 1980s or 90s.

Surprised people are saying 2020.
Even aside from the pandemic, 2010 was actually technologically a lot more like 2000.
For one, 2009 & 2010 are the years that smartphones were just starting to become mainstream devices, but they still weren't solidified until 2012. Most people still used cellphones with keyboards or even flip phones, which people in 2000 used too. To watch movies, people were still using mostly DVD or maybe Blu Ray, similar to 2000 where there was a toss up between mainly DVDs and the odd VCR, whereas in 2000 it's almost 100% streaming services being used. Cable TV was still very popular in both 2000 and 2010, whereas in 2020 it's dying, again to streaming services.
One exception to this for me is computers, as Windows 7 was a lot more similar to what we have now than Windows 98/ME which people used in 2000.
Politically, 2008 to 2015/16 was very much it's own era not like 2000 or 2020.

The conversation here is pretty heavily focused around music and that's one area 2010 is more like 2020 (though it's really like neither). In regards to computers, in 2010, most people still had a desktop computer or at least a laptop. In 2020, most people use their tablets or phones.

Though even musically in some ways 2010 is more like 2000 with things such as Eminem still being one of the top charting rappers (he's still around and quite popular in 2020, but you don't hear about him near as much nor does he have as many hits as he did in 2000 and 2010.), Though on the other hand, 2010 is also when trap music started emerging with acts such as Waka Flocka Flame and it's when Drake's debut album came out. So overall more like 2020 yeah.

It seems to me that everytime this sort of question comes up, the consensus always seem to go towards the two most recent years being the most similar.
"2010 is more like 2020 than 2000"
"2000 is more like 2020 than 1980"
"1980 is more like 2020 than 1940"
The interesting question in which cases specifically is it the other way around?
