I would say Late 2010/2011 is the transition and by NYD 2012(give or take late 2011) it felt solidly like the 10s.
This all screams 10s. 2013 shift is overrated. I mean it was a shift but it was a small shift over to the mid 10s, the core culture was already in before that with touchscreen smartphones, HD standardisation, OBL dead, 3DS, EDM, indie girl sound(lana del ray did it in 2012 before lorde) amongst other things. You could even argue W8 kicked off flat design rather than IOS7.

You could even argue W8 kicked off flat design rather than IOS7. 2011 is when almost every YouTuber was now making HD videos. Bronies were rising in popularity, and of course, Minecraft had its full release. IMO, the moment Minecraft got popular, we were 100% in the 2010s. The 2000s were dead.

Yeah, so much shit happened in 2011 that firmly established 2010s culture. I would say it's arguably a bigger shift than 2013. This was the year where HD became the standard, iphones became mainstream and the iraq war ended.

2010 was mostly a 2010s year, but there were late 2000s influences. Like people using keyboard smartphones. YouTube in 2010 was transitional between late 2000s and early 2010s YouTube. So was 2009 I guess (although that year was more late 2000s).
IMO 2011 is pure early 2010s, and 2012 is mostly early 2010s.
IMO here's how I'd rank the years in terms of early 2010s vibes:
1. 2011
2. 2012
3. 2010
4. 2013
5. 2009
Here's how I'd rank the years in terms of late 2000s vibes:
1. 2008
2. 2007
3. 2009
4. 2006
5. 2010
And here's how I'd rank the years in terms of mid 2010s vibes:
1. 2015
2. 2014
3. 2016
4. 2013
5. 2017

I myself see it as a early/mid 2010s hybrid. If you look at the memes of that year, you can see the transition in action i.redd.it/y91o29zyqsy31.jpgWe went from image macros and top text/bottom text at the start of the year to Vine memes and dank memes at the end (think lenny face and doge). Harlem Shake IMO feels like a mid 2010s meme (especially with it coming from Filthy Frank, a mid-2010s icon) The year as a whole seems more mid 2010s to me, but it's still undeveloped compared to 2014 or 2015.

I would say like 65% Early 10s, 35% Mid 10s. The vibe feels overwhelming happy go lucky early 10s rather than the dry and empty mid 10s vibe. Facebook was still the most popular social media for youth. Electropop was still going, 7th gen gaming was popular most of the year. Oldschool memes were popular for the first half of the year, memes like "doge" weren't popular until like november decemeber. Also pre-ISIS and pre-gamergate.

I agree the vibe was still carefree and apolitical rather than SJW-influenced like the mid 2010s onward. That said I think the whole YOLO/SWAG culture that was popular in 2011 and 2012 was getting burnt out. Facebook was still popular but you had lots of people moving on to Instagram and Twitter. Vine was also gaining lots of popularity. Tumblr is both an early and mid 2010s thing so we can't really talk about that. Same goes for Minecraft. Whilst electropop was still charting, people WERE getting sick of it. Same goes for dubstep. In fact I remember people saying dubstep was dead in the year. It wasn't like 2010-2012 where it was everywhere. Internet culture I would say was really at a crossroads. I already discussed meme culture, but let's talk about YouTube. For most of the year, Smosh, a late 2000s/early 2010s YouTuber was the most subscribed on YouTube. However, PewDiePie, a mid-late 2010s YouTuber, took the throne in late 2013. He was rapidly gaining popularity that year, as were other lets players. YouTube also changed their layout and forced integration with Google+ that year. People stopped caring about Annoying Orange and RayWilliamJohnson by this point. I think 2013 was mostly a mid 2010s year in regards to YouTube honestly. I agree it was a transitional year for meme culture. Honestly the vibe doesn't really feel early 2010s like 2010-2012, but also not perfectly mid 2010s like 2014-2015. Whilst 7th gen gaming still dominated 2013, the release of the Wii U the previous year, plus E3 2013 (where Microsoft effectively screwed themselves over with their infamous Xbox One launch), the release of GTA V, and the release of Call of Duty Ghosts all make it hard for me to call it early 2010s in terms of gaming. People were making fun of Call of Duty online and how many sequels it had vs just a couple years earlier when it was considered the coolest franchise out there. Flat design was also taking over and skeuomorphism was dying off. Think Windows 8 and iOS 7.

Yeah there was definitely a different feel in internet culture from the start of the year to the end of the year. But there were hints in late 2012. That's when instagram started to get popular. That's also when I noticed screamer gamers like pewdiepie and cobanermani456 starting to take over youtube for one.

It was really when that whole Angry Birds/Windows 7/electropop/rage comic vibe reached its peak.

I think 2010 is still very early 2010s with noticeable late 2000s aspects. People using BlackBerries, playing Club Penguin, the Wii, etc. was still common. Windows XP was also still the most used operating system, though it really started declining with Windows 7 being so popular. Some people used Vista too. 2010 was a year where image macros and rage comics were popular, but you also had YouTube Poops still being popular.
YouTube in general honestly felt very transitional. Shift from SD to HD. It still had that viral video/home movie vibe to it like in the late 2000s, and certain video types from then were still popular, but you were starting to see much more professionalism, especially with the likes of Epic Rap Battles in History and Epic Meal Time starting out.

Youtube felt pretty much entirely like that late 2000s up until 2012 or 2013. Only noticeable difference I would say is HD being available but it wasn't common in the early 10s.

Early 10s: 1. 2012 2. 2011 3. 2013 4. 2010 5. 2009 Late 2000s: 1. 2008 2. 2009 3. 2007 4. 2006 5. 2010 Mid 10s: 1. 2015 2. 2014 3. 2016 4. 2013 5. 2017 What's your interpretation on 2013?

I think the navy seal copypasta was the first mid 2010s "dank" meme of the decade based on the graph.

I think the navy seal copypasta was the first mid 2010s "dank" meme of the decade based on the graph. The video also pretty much certified my view that 2015 was pretty much peak mid 10s internet culture. Vine, dank memes, Pepe, lenny face, MLG, Filthy Frank, lets players, Minecraft YouTubers, FNAF. That pretty much sums it up.

We are in the second wave with people like Dream and Tommyinnit.
