Dude it was there towards the end of the early part in 2013. It just took longer to feel the effect I was in London, England in summer 2013 it felt totally mid 2010s as well as a bit earlier. At most you can say it was fully mid 00s without a few late later additions and a few stronger 10-12 holdovers. btw the pure mid 2010s ended after early 2015. Late spring and summer 2015 had some slightly different vibes, still mid but a bit different. I'm thinking back to around the time Obama was re-elected and it exudes a mid-2010s vibe too, just with how everyone was dressed and the advanced tech. By summer 2013 when Breaking Bad ended the early 2010s are officially over in my mind, things like selfies, Snapchat and Instagram were popular around then too. I was browsing at a lot of older posts you guys made in 2015-2016. A remember people were on board with saying there was in shift in 2012 or late 2012 and early 2013

Don't judge me I was just 22 years old 👶 Yeah I remember we deemed 2012 "the high tech early 2010s". There was something about it that felt different from the preceding years.

I'm gonna have to agree with mc98 on fall 2013 being the start of the mid-2010s. I remember when PS4 and Xbox One came out and the whole vibe just felt different to me, along with the EDM boom, Windows 8, iOS 7, Royals, GTA 5, and The Last of Us,

I agree. 2012 was still very early 10s but something about made it feel more modern than 2010 and 2011. It was like a more refined version of those years but still more early 2010s than anything else

It was like a more refined version of those years but still more early 2010s than anything else probably because 2012 was the first year that touchscreen smartphones were literally everywhere. 2010 was still a mostly slider/keyboard phone world, and 2011 was where more people started to get touchscreen phones. But by 2012, that transition from about 2009-2011 was over.

It felt unquestionably 2010s @ that point. 2012 barely had that lingering late 2000s feel that 2010 & 2011 had which was pretty much gone by 2013. Around fall 2012 was when the 2010s got their identity separate from the late 2000s. 2012 was when I saw touchscreens, smartphones & tablets everywhere. Social media got more huge this year with the awareness of social caused. Fall 2012 was the beginning of the core 2010s. However, 2012 still felt strongly early 2010s.

Man, my heart aches any time I think about either of those movements. I remember being in college then and thinking we were going to change the world, and organizing via social media was how we were going to do it. And now, we look around and 70 million people voted for corruption and fascism, and it's just too depressing for words.

Another hallmark of 2012...Call Me Maybe. Carly Rae Jepsen pretty much ended up a one hit wonder but her song made a huge impact on 2010s music. I'd say that it laid the groundwork for the decline of electropop and the female vocalist teen pop explosion in the mid 2010s.
I remember in 2012, I still thought Lady Gaga would dominate the decade and that electropop would last much longer. I was surprised that things went in the direction they did so quickly.
Here's another song from 2012 that has a very mid 2010s vibe.

The Internet was a very different place back in the early 2010s. It was much younger and more progressive. I can go back to online forums that were heavily Millennial and pro-Obama in 2008 and it will be nearly all boomer and pro-Trump today.

The website that was used to organize the Arab Spring eventually lead to the Myanmar genocide. Biggest disappointment of the 2010s.

Here’s my observation of the early 2010s: 2009: This was when the late 2000s and early 2010s were at a collision course although the year leans late 00s 2010: The early 2010s identity became clear. While late 00s things were plenty around, they became more irrelevant the deeper into 2010. 2011: Not only the early 2010s peaked but we know what the 2010s will be about. This is the point where it became mostly separate from the late 00s. 2012: The 2010s identity is undeniable. The core identity is established this year even though it was still early. Jan-Dec 2012 felt the same. 2013: The last time the early 2010s were relevant. The mid 2010s identity can be felt in the early part and overtook early culture in the late part.

I can go back to online forums that were heavily Millennial and pro-Obama in 2008 and it will be nearly all boomer and pro-Trump today. I felt that during the early to mid 2010s is when internet became more refined. As much as I hate the social media culture of the modern era, I have to say I prefer modern day internet. I could be in the minority on this but I felt that the internet was a lot rougher, more bigoted, unfiltered and very heavy on tweens/teens throughout some point in the Y2K era and 2000s and to some lesser extent the early 2010s. A perfect example would be average chatrooms, early youtube or video/humour site comments, and message boards on any given topic. Just look at stuff from 1999, 2001, 2005, 2009. You will find tons of hyper aggressive groupthink, casual racism, sexism, homophobia and just all kids of juenville writing, don't remind of alternating caps, that's been largely weeded out of modern day internet culture. Also there was a lot more sketchy info in wikipedia and encyclopedic websites and video quality and variety was mostly poor before 2008. If anything I prefer innocent Internet culture of 1994 to 1998 and parts of 1999, the most,where visiting or checking back on an official website was the coolest thing ever, people in chatrooms were generally friendly and mature and informative, sampling a video clip or demo game was really exciting, and posting on a forum and looking up information was a surreal experience, and leaving a comment on personal fanpage was a new concept. I don't mind the internet of the very late 2000s and early 2010s to some ways as well.

It’s definitely not as simple as all that, especially considering many of the hardcore, true believer alt-right types (as opposed to just Boomer hicks that support Christian fundamentalism and Jim Crow racism) are much younger, like Zillenials and younger. No, I think it’s much more to do with authoritarian types learning how to manipulate people through social media due to the massive collection of data and sale to third parties, and not a single country yet lifting a finger to regulate any of the social media companies.

I feel the alt right has been loosing steam as a movement for while though, especially that trump is gone, and no longer has the influence they had as recent as 2018.

What do you guys think about this year, 2020? I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’m starting to see things going back to being super anti—capitalistic, kind of like the early 2010s. It makes sense cause whenever the economy is bad, that’s when capitalism is looked down upon. Thrifting has been huge for a couple of years now, but this year especially I’ve seen people talk about how bad fast fashion is. Honestly, I don’t see any year of the 2010s as especially excessive. I think this has been a very low-key decade overall. Yeah, we had things such as fidget spinners and selfies, but every decade has their little fads. The fashion and style is also minimalistic, pretty much throughout the whole decade. And during the Trump era, the alt right was definitely prominent, but I’ve always seen it as a counterculture, or a backlash to the mainstream, which in the 2010s, is super liberal. Maybe it’s just because I’m in liberal circles, but it seems like most people hate Trump and the alt right is just a big wart that is growing on America. Anyways, when you compare any year of the 2010s to the 2000s, it seems clear that it is much more progressive. Well at least, it is much more divided. It’s very clear what side you stand on nowadays. You’re either progressive, or you reject progressivism. There is no gray area anymore. In the 2000s, you could get away with saying a lot more questionable stuff. Those people either became less ignorant and changed with the times, or became hardcore Trumpsters.
