The biggest thing that defines the 2010s are social media and smartphones. Unless they somehow and very very unlikely go out of fashion then it wont have that unique identity anymore and will just be seen as a bridge between the 2000s and the 2020s.

That's like saying the 90s were identityless because computers and the internet didn't go out of fashion in the 2000s And who said smartphones and social media are going to be the go-to decade identifier for the 2010s? Could be something else, we're only 2 years removed from the decade

Also, that's like saying the 50s were identityless because TVs and suburbs didn't go out of style in the 60s
I bet people in the 50s/early 60s had no idea that conservatism and old school suburban families were going to be the defining aspects of the 50s
Same way we can't really tell what is going to define the 10s in the future

The 2010s will be remembered as a carefree, innocent time of excess compared to the hell on earth and culture of suffering that is the 2020s, similar to the 1920s vs the 30s. If the USA has a civil war or authoritarian takeover this decade (one or the other is almost certain unless something changes), that perception will be even stronger.

The second half was a cesspool. ISIS terrorist attacks, SJWs vs Alt-Right, Nazi rallies, etc. School shootings were very frequent this decade too. The 20s politically is really just the late 10s on steroids with COVID. And it feels like you keep exaggurating about how there is going to be a civil war or coup. Only like 500 people showed up on Jan 6th.

Just the generic hipster look that was predominant during pretty much the entirety of the 10s Plus hipster aesthetic, like hipster design graphics and that dangling ceiling light bulbs aesthetic

Smartphones and social media are still able to evolve in the next 8 years you know... They're not gonna be stuck in their 2010s forms for eternity.
The 50s are defined by the widespread popularization of TV, and yet TVs are still with us (more or less). That doesn't make the 50s TV landscape identity-less.

They've hardly evolved since like 2017. You can only make something so sleek or big. I don't see fold phones taking off either it's pointless and overly expensive. Social Media may change with the metaverse.
