I think i'll go with 2012. Cant think of anything significant that happened that year besides the trayvon martin incident and sandy hook. Yet oddly enough it's wedged right in-between two shift years.
Honourable mentions to 2010 and 2019.

Most 2010s years were pretty shifty, even 2019 which ended a lot of Core 2010s things (TV shows, EDM, etc.) and started some trends that now go strong today in 2021 almost 2022. 2012 was a big shift year for rap music, since it's when trap became the dominant sound. Hipster culture also blew up that year I think.
I'd go with maybe 2014 for the least shifty year, but even then technology became a lot different from the early 2010s that year with phones getting bigger and rounder and minimalist design becoming solidified (it started in 2012/2013 but there were still some remnants of skeuo, unlike 2014.)

2019 was quite shifty, that was when tiktok really took over the charts, Gen Z popstars like Brilliant Eyelashes and Lil Nas X became popular, EDM music ceased to be a dominant force, eboys/egirls became popular, mumble rap started to lose popularity
Least shifty year of the 10s gotta go to 2015, even after Trump announced his run for office things didn't feel very different from early 2015

There's always changes in each year but there's also always going to be years which have the least changes compared to the others. I don't recall trap in 2012 rap. The first instance of trap in mainstream rap from what I recall was in 2014. But you may be right. 2019 ended some 2010s pop culture but it still didn't bring anything of great significance to usher in the next decade and you have to remember that despite certain 2010s media such as avengers and GOT ending, they had seasons or movies come out that year(finales but nonetheless they still aired) unlike the following year. Speaking of which that year set a clear distinction between the 20s and the 10s which retroactively makes 2019 even more of a late 10s year in hindsight. 2014 is also a relatively small shift year for the 10s but the after-effects of the 2013 shift sinking in as well as the seeds of the current political divisiveness we have today being sowed save it.

I posted some of the big trap songs of 2012 here. 2007-2011 era Club Rap was still around in 2012 but it really is the year where that trap sound become dominant IMO. popedia.boards.net/thread/5698/rap-songs-turn-next-yearI do agree that 2019 was still a very late 2010s year, especially in hindsight. What I was saying is that it started some new trends that are still around today, not that that makes it Early 2020s.

A pop punk song which didn't even reach the top 50. I'm still not convinced pop punk is mainstream yet as well since only one pop punk song charted this year.

I'm still not convinced pop punk is mainstream yet as well since only one pop punk song charted this year. pop punk is also nothing new, it's just a throwback genre like synthwave (80s) and nu-disco (70s), but for the 2000s. I don't think throwback genres should define a time, just be apart of it. Melodic and bounce-influenced trap, trap-punk/rock fusion, Brooklyn Drill, and hyperpop-influenced pop and rap (like "Need to Know") define the early 2020s to me.

If you want to talk music whilst you have Early 20s players like billie eilish, lil nas x and lizzo making their popular debuts, the charts are absolutely CRAMMED with soundcloud rap: .And you still have 10s artists making hits like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Anne-Marie to name a few.

2010. Can’t think of anything other than the iPad release if that counts? 2010 was a year that benefited from previous shifts and didn’t really cause one

I think you meant electroclash instead of synthpop

Again for the billionth trillion zillionth infinitionth time, one pop punk song charted well on the billboard charts and we all know which one that was. There may be some other songs of the same genre that released this year and got an impressive number of views on youtube but there's a difference between youtube popular and hit song popular. If they were actual hits they would be getting views in the 100 millions or billions like all the other hit songs. Even hits from like 2 decades ago have more views than the songs here. It is not mainstream yet and no amount of bold text is going to change that. In general the genre is still at a subculture status.

Probably 2014. Pretty uneventful year just in general, not like nothing happened but compared to 2013 and 2015, it was quite minor

Pretty uneventful year just in general, not like nothing happened but compared to 2013 and 2015, it was quite minor It was relatively uneventful but it did lay the seeds for the political division that got trump elected and still persists to this day with stuff like gamergate and ISIS. Plus it made the 2013 shift much more obvious. At the end of 2013 you still had re-runs of earlier electropop hits in the year and flat design hadn't permeated everything yet.
