We're about a quarter way through the decade and there is still an extremely strong 10s leftover feel with no signs of it going away soon. COVID may have halted technological progress and original pop culture. A concrete example, because of the transistor shortage for next gen consoles caused by COVID barely anyone can get their hands on one which means most games are still being built from the ground up on 2013 consoles. Not to mention, everyone is nostalgic because of COVID and it's hard for us to move forward when we're all stuck in the past. Hence why most music nowadays is imitating the sound of previous decades.
I think there will be 2 major eras in this decade. The current one which we're in now with COVID, Biden and 10s culture still in effect and another one which starts around halfway through the decade when COVID has been declared an endemic, a new US president comes into play(Seriously, there is no way Biden is getting a second term, it'll be a miracle if the dude is even alive by the end of his first term...), and society and technology start progressing again. There is a possibility for a christian revival to come into place in the upcoming years, i've seen a LOT of people converting lately and handing out fliers. Whatever happens I think eventually there will be a change in the way we live our lives later on in the decade that will truly bring an end to the 10s zeitgeist.

I think you’re going to start seeing a backlash against social justice culture in the mid 2020s. It has been corporatized, and that’s always the first step toward backlash of any kind. Just like how grunge died off because it became corporate and bland.
And I agree with your assessment. There will absolutely be a COVID era 2020s, and a post-COVID 2020s. The post-COVID 2020s, I predict, will be a backlash against the COVID 2020s. So I expect to see the return of edgy rebellious attitudes by the late 2020s, as a backlash against the overly cautious vibe of the COVID era.

There has been a backlash against SJW culture since like 2016.

I mean famous celebrities who criticize PC culture, and where we start seeing less liberal BS from the media and more centrist or conservative viewpoints. Less movies with forced diversity. Companies stop pinkwashing and greenwashing and acting woke and focus more on technological innovation once again.

I kinda feel that way too. although i think we’re firmly in early 20s culture right now, i feel like covid will only end up defining one part of the 2020s while something else defines the second. i can’t see covid being much of a thing in a year like 2026. i think the second half or the mid and late parts of the decade might be the more stereotypical 2020s, when most of gen z will be adults

To the point where it's become paranoia. Especially in the gaming/movie communities. The slightest hint of diversity causes them to lose their minds. I mean sure corporate entities and the media are left wing but they are the 1%. Most people are fed up with SJWs nowadays and they've been the butt of jokes since 2016.

The late 10s influences are still very strong I don't see a shift anytime soon.

Reminder
in 2004 people still thought we were in the 90s
In Late 2014 people thought it was the early 2010s and "when would the culture come";
You have to pinch zoom out later on to see

Social justice isn't a music genre though Don't ask me why, but that comment made me laugh. Only on this forum would you hear somebody say "social justice isn't a music genre". I guess if you want a better comparison, look at what happened to the counterculture in the early 70s. It became corporatized, psychedelic aesthetics were common in advertisements. And that's when people started rebelling against it. It only built up more and more until punk showed up in the late 70s, which was intended to essentially be "anti-hippie" music.

No I don't think it will be a split decade. I think the events of 2020 set the tone for the vibe of the entire decade. It's pretty dystopian.
