Music:
-Teen pop start to die or decline. Groups like Fifth Harmony and One Direction split up.
-Dark-sounding, emo trap takes over in the late part.
-Indie pop or rock declines.
Fashion:
-Bright and baggy clothing starts to come back.

Looking back at 2016, it seemed like we were already in the Trump era even though Obama was still president. We were already being bombarded with Trump news and his tweets since 2015 and it seemed normal by 2016
Trap music began to take a more dark and modern turn in 2016 with songs like “Panda” by Desiigner, “Black Beatles” by Rae Sremmurd, and “Low Life” by Future. A lot of the 2016 trap fits well even in 2019, unlike 2013-15 trap songs like “Trap Queen” by Fetty Wap or “Versace” by Migos. Also a lot of typical mumble/SoundCloud rappers took off in popularity at this time (Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, Kodak Black, Lil Yachty, etc.)
Gen Z started to really make a dent in pop culture in 2016 with acts like 5th Harmony, Shawn Mendes, and several SoundCloud rappers blowing up. A lot of music artists born in the late 90s and early 00s (early gen z) started to gain popularity around 2016 and it would continue in 2017. Even Stranger Things debuted on Netflix that year and the cast is mostly 2001-04 born
The MCU started to peak in popularity. It was already popular from 2010-15 but with the release of Captain America: Civil War and Tom Holland being introduced as Spider-Man for the first time, the MCU seemed to be entering its peak era, where it was the most mainstream, which would continue until Avengers Endgame in 2019. Even the DCEU would desperately push out several superhero movies from this point on (Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman, Justice League, etc.)
It’s hard to explain but the overall “vibe” of 2016 was a shift away from the classic vibe of the 2010s (when the 2010s still had that novelty feeling) into the modern 2010s (2016-19). The mid 2010s are different from today of course but some of the culture from 2016 (and even a little from before) still lingers today

It just felt but more exaggerated version of 2014-2015 without the soul of earlier years + pokemon go + subdued aesthetic overpowers everything as opposed to having some counterbalance in 14 and 15, first full year 2010s OG hipster feels dated mid 2016 onwards media coverage and discussions center around trump, his supporters and Sjws, peak of bro and alt right culture by the late part. Words like cuck, pepe the frog, black pill/red pill/blue pill, alpha/beta and based unfortunately rise in popularity based on these groups lots of discussion on immigration, the wall, confines of free speech, gender pronouns and trans bathrooms flooding Youtube, social media and TV.

I recall the music in 2016 and early 2017 to an extent was mostly like 2014 and 2015, but music that would be huge from mid 2017 through mid 2018 or later was starting to gain traction and blow up in late 2016. The late 2010s style music may possibly have roots as early as late 2014. I think anywhere between June 2015 to March 2016 through October 2016 was the transition out of the classic 2010s. By November 2016, around the time Trump won the election, is when I realized that the 2010s that I knew, spent my middle and high school years in, aka the classic 2010s, were over for good. I view 2016 like 1996 and 2006, except 1996 and 2006 were better years. For some reason November 2016 to around February 2017 despite feeling slightly different than earlier had this super empty feeling pop culturally, like it was different but not different enough, kind of like today but not as bad in that respect, and it was hard to envision what trump was really going to be like and what changes would happen, we weren’t really experiencing any real era, it was like just inbetween things. towards the end of early 2017 is when there was more going on and it wasn’t just trump, but still entire late 2010s felt like one cheap minor modification of the latter mid 2010s, until late 2018 when it was just a void and pieces of dried up culture that keep going that set the base and most of the culture for today. The shifts after 2013 or 15 till today have all been super crazy weak, some of weakest and most low effort and unoriginal shifts in decades.

Funny how conservative, family value shows as Full House got rebooted back in 2016. I could tell since then that the culture was starting to head towards a more conservative direction. Hints of conservatism were there in late 2014 and 2015. I don't remember it being conservative back the show was popular, kind of moderate/liberal show but it was pg safe and family oriented, I feel family ties was more conservative but I get what you mean. Black Panther is reflective of the late 2010s, even though it came out in the early 2010s, with an emphasis on race and an advanced race, its a good movie and all, but I think the choice of all black universe or nation which was the most advanced on the planet was taken from the old comics and is a cool and great idea on its own, but to a lot of people it felt chosing to make that movie at that time felt like it was merely as counter opposition to all the rampant anti-immigration/racist rhetoric you would hear about American for Americans. It was also seen as just riding on the BLM bandwagon of that period, rather than just a good movie on its own. The way pepe the frog meme was so common was weird and trashy even "figures" like Jordan Peterson were endorsing it, it reminded me about the internet back at some point in the 2000s when shitposting, trolling or uncensored speech was more common. There was something really trashy and volatile about internet culture in 2016-mid 2018, it felt like anything could turn into a political argument as well, everywhere, facebook, youtube etc I think we've definitely progressed and things have chilled out a bit more since then.

I hated the mid 2010s at the time, but they seem like a dream compared to today.
However, 2015 in particular is what created the hellscape we are living in today. America just couldn't handle same-sex marriage being legalized and Caitlyn Jenner on the cover of Vanity Fair in every magazine. Obama lighting the White House rainbow. Kim Davis was also a factor, as the fundamentalist Christians perceived that as persecution. Their narrative is that she went to jail for being a Christian.
This is why they are now wanting to overthrow the government and force everyone in line at gunpoint. A hornet's nest was stirred up and those of us in the USA will probably be paying for the rest of our lives. Things will never again be as carefree as they were in the 2010s. Things are going to get tough for the world as well as the USA descends into chaos and civil war.
