I consider this era(October 2012 - March 2013) to be the latest to have a truly dated and removed atmosphere from today. 2013/14 feels dated but a decent amount of elements of this period are still around. Despite 2012/13 having mid 2010s incoming, the overall era just feels so disconnected from today.
-8th generation gaming hasn't truly started yet. Yes, there was the Wii U but it was a failure to begin with.
-iPhone retained it's skeuomorphic look until Sept. 2013.
-The last serious period to get away with having Blackberry phones and slider phones.
-The so called "SJW" were mostly contained in certain spaces and not influencing pop culture as a whole.
-The 2012 election wasn't as divisive compared to 2016 and 2020.
-Electropop was way more massive and present than it was in 2013/14.
-Scene and swoopy hair was still popular with guys, even though quiffs are rising.
-Last time when memes were in it's classic era.
-Facebook was still teen-oriented before boomers took over a few years later.
-Instagram was just a simple photo-sharing app way before influencers became a thing.
-Some Blockbusters were still open until November 2013 when they announced all stores will be shutdown.
-Netflix didn't release original shows until Feb.2013 but it didn't get popular right away. It got massive around mid 2013.
-Vine was also released in Jan. 2013 but ditto with the above point.
-A lot of the fashion trends this period is subjected to ridicule nowadays.
-Last predominant late millennial period.
