I was actually debating 2014 because 2014 was a transitional year politically. The first half still felt carefree and laidback. The second half was when shit hit the fan with Ferguson. In the November 2014 election, Republicans took over, which is partly or mostly responsible for Trump’s election. I forget if ISIS was heard on the news since late 2013 or 2014. But then again I hear by late 2012, politics became toxic. I don't think 2012 politics had the toxicity as much as late 2014/15 but politics have always been toxic, it's just that social media has exposed it to the max. I couldn't agree more, especially with the massive amount of hyperpartisan political groups and on sites like Facebook. IMO, social media along with misinformation and users with polarizing political biases, really accelerated the divide that we see now.

To answer the question, 2015-now feels like a never ending era. True. It didn’t start in 2013-2014. I even remember hipster trends in mid 2013 to early 2014 having noticeable early 2010s influences that were completely gone by late 14 to mid 2015.
