Too early for early 2010s nostalgia smh. It’s an interesting song, nostalgia as is always cool but guys 2011 is when core 2010s culture fully kicked off we’re still pop culturally mostly in the 2010s. Even 2009-2010 was leaning 2010s. I can still get the 90 percent of same clothes at h&m and like I did in late 2009 to early 2012, movies look the same, cartoons and toys look the same. The only difference is no emo hairstyles, some dead music genres and trends, no hipsters or 2000s holdovers, same social media channels but different focus around them and and better tech/internet and 3x pc culture and mainstreamization of new right conversativism.

I’ll have to listen to the song. Nostalgia is cool and fun. I understand someone being nostalgic for their personal life in the early 2010s, but to be nostalgic for early 2010s culture is kind of silly to me because they were only 7 to 11 years ago, which is if we’re counting 2013 and 2014. Not all early 2010s trends 100% vanished. Some of today’s music styles can be traced back to then. I’d say 2011 is the first core 2010s year. Q1 2011 is still purely electro-pop era along with Q4 2009 and 2010. I pinpoint Q2 2011 as the start of core 2010s culture, which became full force in Q4 2011. Q2-Q3 2011 is electro-pop and core 2010s mixture. 2009-2010 definitely leaned 2010s, even if many late 2000s holdovers existed and it wasn’t as developed as 2010-2011 or even 2011-2012. I can’t differentiate movies from the 2010s to present. Stylistically they’re the same and blend together for me. Politics have gotten worse. We went from a somewhat progressive, forward-thinking society in the early 2010s to a regressive, backwards-thinking society by the late 2010s to now. Even though Biden is a democrat, he hasn’t made a difference. It seems like Trump’s influence hasn’t worn off. I can’t distinguish cartoons and toys from the 2010s to now either. Even video gaming now isn’t much of a leap compared to the 2010s. 8th and 9th generation gaming seem like 7th generation gaming 2.0 and 3.0 respectively, nothing earth-shattering asides better graphics. Twitter is still used today like the 2010s. Facebook is still used today, but to a lesser extent compared to the 2010s. Now we have more social media options like Snapchat, Instagram, Tiktok, etc. Flat-screen TV’s, touch screen smartphones and tablets became the norm in 2011. They’re still at their height today. Even today’s technology styles aren’t different from the 2010s, except for maybe additional colors and skeuomorphism coming back a little bit. Yeah all true. As someone who was working as a graphic designer in 2011, I remember flat designs starting to be preferred in 2011, even to some extent 2010, graphic design 2010s aesthetics already had a solid visual identity by some point in 2010, also a lot of the funky graphic design trends associated with 2013-2015 were already in full force by 2011-2012, you could argue there was a tiny bit late 2000s holdovers or some minor modifications later on but it was mostly there. Every major brand, cutting edge poster or ad or album had the 2010s visual identity look to some degree 2009-2010 and 2011 and entirely by 2011-2012 by this time big brands were using creative social media activations and contests like today.

2009/2010 are the last years to feel like another world imo 2019 is the last year that feels like another world in my opinion due to the massive shift in 2020 because of the pandemic which completely changed the world. Things changed a lot with COVID restrictions but the tech and culture is way too similar for it to feel like another world to me.
