Strongly disagree with the suggestion that the early 2010s are not modern. I would agree that they're noticeably outdated in a number of ways now, but they are still way too recent to be considered "not modern". 2013 was only eight years ago, half of the era isn't even a decade old yet! Besides that though, there's actually still a lot of connections between the world of today and the early 2010s; iPads and tablet devices were released in 2010, HD had already become standardised at the beginning of the decade, social media was widely used among people of all ages, and smartphones were commonplace for at least half of the era. "Game of Thrones" and "The Walking Dead" were both on-the-air during most of the early 2010s, and one of the most popular sitcoms at the time ("Modern Family") featured a gay couple who had adopted a child. They're definitely modern.
The title of this thread would be more fitting for the late 2000s. The first iPhone was released back in 2007 and social media was quite popular (mainly among teens though), however CDs and video-rental stores were still commonplace, rock remained popular, most music videos and TV shows were still produced in 4:3 standard definition, and streaming wasn't yet a thing.

Yes I’m quite tired at the trend of finding any opportunity to get nostalgic about a certain year when we share 50-80 percent of the same culture. We used to have to wait a while for these things or at least be substantially removed from the era or year.

We used to have to wait a while for these things or at least be substantially removed from the era or year. I agree, people apply the "outdated" label to just about anything now. It seems to especially be a thing among teens; "2016 nostalgia" became a thing less than 3 years later. The most recent year which is considerably removed from the world of today is 2008 IMO. People genuinely went about their lives differently back then as it predated tablets and smartphones hadn't yet caught on, so it definitely has that "yesteryear" feel to it whereas the early 2010s haven't yet got to that stage.

Not to be that person, but 2013 isn’t technically the early 2010’s. 2013 is the start of the numerical mid-2010’s. The actual early 2010’s are 2010-2012.

Early 2013 is numerically early 2010s though Yeah, but most of it is numerically mid-2010’s, since the mid-2010’s started on May 1, 2013. to be honest I just think of "3" and "6" ending years as belonging to both within context. No exact cutoff dates. Simple enough for me: Early - 0-3 Mid - 3-6 Late - 6-9

Simple enough for me: Early - 0-3 Mid - 3-6 Late - 6-9 It helps 3 and 6 years are often transitional years. 2016 for example did not quite feel like the late 2010s yet, but the mid-2010s culture was starting to wind down. IMO, the late 2010s began with Trump's election, Brexit, the shutdown of Vine, and the implementation of demonetization on YouTube videos.

IMO the late 2010s were fully in by Spring 2017, especially with demonetization, fidget spinners, and PUBG blowing up and popularizing the battle royale genre.

I don’t think mid to late 2016 - first few months of 2017 are offically fully late 2010s. Transitional, very close and modified and even “mid to late 2010s” for sure but not offical and proper late 2010s imo

Transitional, very close and modified and even “mid to late 2010s” for sure but not offical and proper late 2010s imo I think mid 2015-mid 2017 is a transitional era that leaned more late 2010s than early 2010s. I see it as the very last mid 2010s phase or the very first late 2010s phase. I wonder what to call the late 2015 - early/mid 2017 era. Tropical House era?

Late 00s fits this to a T. The phasing out of the old and bringing in of the new. Although i'd say this era of not modern but not old lasted until mid 2011 or 2012.

Smartphones didn't catch on until 2011 and Tablets didn't even exist in 08, they caught on in like 2013. Music, Politics and internet culture is also radically different than it was in 08.
