Music: Electropop is still going strong, especially in the first half. In the second half mid 10s music starts taking over but you still have some electropop left with hits like "What does the fox say", "Applause", "Burn", "Timber".
Gaming: PS4/Xbox One didn't release until the end of the year.
Aesthetics: IOS7 didn't release until september which revolutionised flat design. Same hipster/indie aesthetic as 2012.
Memes: The last year where classic early 10s memes like top text/bottom text were commonly used although newer memes like "Doge" gained a bit of traction around the end of the year.
Politics: Pretty much the same as the early 10s. BLM was founded but it had very little influence or relevance at the time. The following year set the mid 10s zeitgeist with ISIS, Gamergate, Refugee Crisis, SJWs, etc.
Most people say it's more mid 10s but it feels a lot more early 10s to me. I'd say 70% early 10s, 30% mid 10s. The only way it leans mid 10s is with social media being more fragmented than previous years and people having fades. The mid 10s energy was not there at all.

I would say you are correct, 2013 is early 2010s WORN OUT AF year until like the fall when stuff SLOWLY started changing.

For me, I would say both eras are at an equilibrium in 2013.

Living in 2013 didn't feel as changeful as it is when describing it in retrospect. It just felt like a few things slowly changed, upgraded or became dated throughout the year, which did create some real difference, but there wasn't this very sharp turning point or strong dividing line in the year at least to me.

You don’t really feel drastic cultural changes when it’s currently happening because it’s slow and gradual. 2013 didn’t feel all that transitional while it was happening, but looking back it definitely had a slightly different vibe than say 2011.

It mostly just felt like 2012 on steroids but the end of the year felt quite different from the start of the year. Mainly because the changes in social media i'd say.

The dividing point between the early and mid '10s was ARTPOP and the fact Lady Gaga's reign as the biggest pop star on the planet was clearly coming to an end.

Breaking Bad ending and GTA V coming out was a big deal too. Steaming culture also started in mid/late 2013 even though it didn't really take over until around 2015/2016.

That was also definitely the beginning of Top 40 FM radio's decline in terms of pop music relevancy. In fact the August 2013 premier of Katy Perry's "Roar" and Lady Gaga's "Applause" was the last time I remember people getting excited over the premier of a new song on FM radio.
