March 2020 started the transition IMO. January 2021 was the real start and 2022 will prolly be the peak year. So much happened between March 2020 and January 2021, but after January 2021 it's been mostly chill. 2021 is such an arbitrary year to choose for the start of the 2020s.. When people look back at this era in the future, obviously it will be universally agreed upon that it started when Covid started. We are not even out of the Covid era and this started in 2020... How could Covid be transitional if we are still in the Covid era as of January 2022? It makes no logical sense. The early 2020s began in March of 2020. You could say the transition happened before that when Coronavirus was a concern but it didn't change the world and become a global pandemic yet. You already saw signs of early '20s culture when Dua Lipa and The Weeknd released their retro pop albums as in late 2019 and Juice Wrld's melodic trap sound was starting to top the charts. All of 2020 was transitional plus the first month of 2021. Yes Covid started in early 2020 but Biden being elected/inaugurated, BLM riots, Capitol riots, Vaccine Rollouts(which is very relevant when we're talking about covid) and mask wearing came into place in between March 2020 and Feb 2021. Pop culturally 2020 was also the last year with fairly strong late 10s musical holdovers, gen x/boomers getting on tiktok and the 9th gen consoles came out that year. The rest of 2020 is way too transitional to start the early 20s at march imo. 2020 is in a transition period. With Feb 2021 as the cutoff it makes sense since nothing much happened after January and we went through the motions rather than it setting a new status quo.

What are you talking about? The early 2020s started in March 2020. We are literally in peak early '20s right now. March 2020 started the transition IMO. January 2021 was the real start and 2022 will prolly be the peak year. So much happened between March 2020 and January 2021, but after January 2021 it's been mostly chill. Yeah the early 20s have been here since early 2021 and even before tbh. Biden, covid, masks, vaccines, tiktok, gen z Y2K inspired fashion, Lil Nas x, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, Pop Punk and Meldoic Rap, electric cars, multiple streaming services, contactless payment being preferred, 9th gen gaming, 2000s nostalgia, NFTs, wireless earbuds, amongst other things have come to define the early 20s so far. 2020 was the transition into all of that and it was pretty much solidified in 2021. I still don’t think we’re in core 20s culture just yet but we’re definitely in peak early 20s culture rn

Since when is a new president and a gaming console more important than a worldwide pandemic? The early 2020s did not start in 2021... They started in early 2020. The new president and PS5 are simply additions to early '20s things.

Since when did a worldwide pandemic magically take us out of late 2010s culture and magically bring us into early 2020s culture? By culture, I mean music, movies, TV, fashion, gaming, technology, etc. the phrase "worldwide pandemic" almost makes your post sound ironic...

The new president and PS5 are simply additions to early '20s things. You missed the part where I also mentioned vaccine rollouts and the capitol hill riots. A new US president(as well as trump out of the WH) is also a big thing that can't be glossed over.

I'm glad they deleted that post because it really did sound ironic!

I agree with you now that I think of it. Let's hope this goes away in 2023 so it can be looked at as *just* a early 2020s thing. Unfortunately it's starting to look like this is going to be a decade-defining crisis. Especially when you combine it with the fact that the USA will likely become a theocratic dictatorship and be literally dangerous for anyone not white, straight, and the right kind of Christian after 2025. This is hell on earth.

What people don't know is that stuff has been going on since 2019 and they will have to pinch zoom out years later to see
