I know this differs depending on ages, personal experience and regions but 2010 is when things started to feel modern to me. Second half of 2009 kind of does as well but it's not a full year and it wasn't fully there yet, in 2010 everyone knew what facebook was. Anything before feels like another galaxy. Pre touchscreen smartphones, pre social media ubquity, pre tablet, pre HD normalisation, music was mostly organic, etc. It wasn't completely modern though there are many things about it that are dated. It almost felt like kind of 50/50 in that regard but leaning a little more towards modernity than the previous status quo. The modern feeling became a lot more solidified in 2011 and by 2014 it felt 100% modern with no traces from the 00s at all.
To sum, 2010 was when things started to feel modern but only vaguely so.

Myspace was the number #1 website in the world in 2006 beating Google in rankings, Facebook started getting really popular in 2007 and eventually eclipsed Myspace in 2008. In fact Obama's Youtube campaign frequently shouted out Facebook. CBS in 2006 "MySpace, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., garnered 4.46 percent of all U.S. Internet visits for the first week in July 2006, for the first time earning the No. 1 spot on the hit list for its homepage. MySpace topped Yahoo Mail, Yahoo, Google and MSN." www.cbsnews.com/news/myspace-pulls-ahead-in-page-view-race/
