Some point between spring and fall 2011. 2011 doesn't get enough recognition as a transition year tbh. So many things changed that year.

Core refers to years of a decade that can be used to accurately represent it's zeitgeist. Years that feel at the very least somewhat similar to most years in the decade. Like in the 00s decade 2000 obviously isn't a core year because it's an extension of the late 90s. However a year like 2005 obviously is because it has similarities with several 00s years and is fully immersed in 00s culture with emos, myspace, PS2, crunk, etc.

Nothing really changed overnight in 2013 except the mid 2010s becoming more officialized. Identity was in place by 2009-2010. Chunk of 2010 and early 2011 were firmly 2010s, most of 2011 had developed and expanded the core identity which would blossom in 2011-2012 to 2015, and stick around, however faded and modified from 2015 to 2018 and 2018 to the present. I believe we still are in core 2010s culture.

2013 was more official but there were definitely many signs in 2011. At the end of 2011 the culture felt officially 10s. You had lots of people with iphones, flip phones had become archaic(when I started school that year with a flip phone people got all nostalgic over it), EDM and house was now popular, electropop sounded more in line with 2012 and 2013, revival CN, end of the iraq war with osama bin laden dead, political protests like occupy wall street, 3DS launch, etc. 2013 was the start of the mid 10s with social media being more fragmented, 8th gen gaming, change from electropop to indie, generic pop and some other stuff.

To quote myself on another thread I was thinking of it more, and found further convincing evidence of the core 2010s starting in 2011/2012. A big one is politics. Now, so many on here like to naively assume that the early 2010s were completely apolitical, and there was no SJW stuff in that era, even myself sometimes. It is true that the early 2010s were generally a calm era where politics and pop culture were separated. However, it can actually be seen how the early 2010s was when internet activism and SJW politics really got its start. In 2011, we had the start of modern-day internet activism with Occupy Wall Street and the Arab Spring. Both of these events spread via the traditional protest of course but there was also the usage of the internet to spread awareness of it. Another key event that really led us into the 2010s era of the internet is SOPA/PIPA. These were government acts that were strongly protested across the internet, with many websites such as Google and Wikipedia blacking out their sites for one day. This also led to the shutdown of prominent filesharing site Megaupload. This showed how the internet was becoming more centralized, but also how government control was becoming more enforced on the internet. 2012 only saw the further build-up of core 2010s culture. Kony 2012 is a prominent one, with the hashtag #Kony2012 spreading like wildfire after the video was posted. However, this is also when SJW culture really got its start. Most notable is the murder of Trayvon Martin, which is what triggered the Black Lives Matter movement. Fourth-wave feminism also became prominent this year. This is when Anita Sarkesian launched a Kickstarter for her controversial series "Tropes vs Women In Video Games", which sparked lots of controversy. This was one of the key events that would eventually lead to the Gamergate controversy, which, along with the Elliott Rodger shootings in Isla Vista, would lead to feminism gaining even more prominence in 2014, with the latter event being what led to the label "incel". Gaming also changed dramatically in this time, notably with the rise of indie titles. The most noteworthy being Minecraft, which had its official release in November 2011, and, well, to say NOTHING on its influence in terms of both gaming and internet culture. lets plays, mods, songs, animations, games inspired by it, people complaining about it being overexposed, people who built their entire lives on Minecraft, tons of merchandise, I could go on. Lets players too became a major force starting in 2012, with PewDiePie being the most noteworthy example. Games like Amnesia, Slender: The Eight Pages, and Happy Wheels, among many others, all gained heightened attention as a result of people like him. This kind of symbiotic relationship between small game developers and lets players led to a seismic shift in gaming to where an ordinary person could become a major figurehead through entertaining playthroughs of video games, or by creating a video game. So when do I think core 2010s culture began? Overall, I'd say the 2011-2012 school year, which I also now consider the quintessential early 2010s school year, is when we really entered core 2010s culture, but if I had to limit myself to just one year, I'd say 2011 is where the shift start, and 2012 solidified it. Personally, I'm going with 2012 as the start of core 2010s culture, since this is really when the decade as we know it, with SJWs, Minecraft, lets players, Instagram, superhero movies, among other things, really became a thing.
