Pop culture: Music at the start was a blend of 00ish style music and upbeat loud electropop. Music at the end was literally whisper music and other weird and quirky songs like "dance monkey". Trap rap dominating whereas rap was pretty much dead in 2010. Gaming was still 7th gen rather than 8th gen there is a HUGE difference in the graphics from start to finish and there are many things which have become the norm like microtransactions, cinematic focused games and delays over the course of this decade. Skeuomorphic designs were fazed out in favor of flat design. Emo and Scene fully died out at the beginning of the decade as hipster rose in popularity.
Technology: Smartphones are normalized, tablets start with the Ipad, streaming overtakes cable, social media becomes completely ubiquitous and is fragmented into at least like 7 apps/websites which are mainstream whereas in the 00s you only had facebook and myspace. HD is normalized. Music production becomes much more clean. Cloud sharing becomes normalized. Web design is much more modern and corporate. Noted, most of this happened in the first half of the decade so maybe because the second half felt stagnant we remember the 10s being more technologically stagnant than it really is.
Political: The post recession economy of 2010 ends up booming in the late 10s. David Cameron becomes PM of the UK in 2010 and ever since only a conservative has been PM. Brexit is passed through. Arab spring and occupy wall street protests. Trayvon Martin vs George Zimmerman(kickstarts BLM) case and Sandy Hook shooting in 2012. Refugee crisis of 2015. ISIS. BLM becoming more mainstream because of police brutality cases in 2016. Gay marriage gets signed in 2015, transgenders become commonly discussed. Social justice culture becomes a huge thing in the mid 10s leading to a backlash starting from around 2015/2016 which leads to Trump being elected and arguably also brexit being passed through. Political Correctness. Cancel Culture. And at the end of the decade Boris Johnson becomes the PM. Lots of political shifts happened this decade.
2010s was changeful as fuck. I think as people age, they feel things become more and more stagnant over time which explains why people say the 10s weren't changeful. Boomers do the same thing with the 2000s, some crusty boomers even say the 90s blends into today.

In the 2000s, there was this Wild West feel to the internet, with less corporate control, and internet forums and blogs being popular. In the 2010s, on the other hand, Big Tech companies like Facebook, Google, and Twitter control everything we do. I'm not denying that it was changeful, I'm just saying that it was changeful in a different way. This was also the impetus for things like cancel culture, which wasn't really a thing in the decentralized politically incorrect 2000s internet.

I'm referring to social media not the internet in general like forums. There was only about 2 or 3 mainstream social media in the 2000s and that was only in the tail end of the 2000s when facebook got big. In the 2010s you have a huge variety of mainstream social media. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr, Twitter, TikTok, Vine, Whatsapp, Kik, etc.

Emo died in 2007 as Scene started to replace it This is for the United States history of things.
It is highly inaccurate to say Emo lasted in the early 2010s, it was not even around. Very Very
inaccurate revisionist history.
Emo & Scene are 2 very different subcultures, with Scene taking off about late 06/early 07 and lasting
into Summer 2009 where after that it became a niche thing that no one really talked about anymore.
It is easy to get them mixed up but they are super different and don't really align on the same timeline.

Exactly, I am going to repost what I said in another thread lol 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 Myspacein 2008. In fact Obama's Youtube campaign frequently shouted out Facebook. CBS in 2006 and I quote "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."
