Whilst 2010 is culturally an early 2010s year, unlike with 2011 or 2012, 2010 had many elements that connected it with the 2000s. These are mostly late 2000s elements since 2010 has practically zero in common with the early 2000s and a minimal amount in common with the mid 2000s. Here are those elements:
-The Nintendo DS was still the current Nintendo handheld.
-Windows XP was still the most popular version of Windows (at least for part of the year)
-Steve Jobs was still alive.
-The internet still had that carefree 2000s atmosphere rather than the drama-filled political atmosphere of the 2010s.
-Major 2000s franchises such as Harry Potter and Shrek had releases in 2010.
-Pixar was still making good movies (Toy Story 3). Speaking of Toy Story 3 Andy is seen using a flip phone in the movie.
-Many YouTube videos were in standard-definition and still have that grainy quality to them.
-Early 2010s YouTubers like Epic Rap Battles of History and Epic Meal Time were still not as big as they'd later become. RayWilliamJohnson was popular but not the most subscribed YouTuber yet.
-Hipsters were still not mainstream yet. Scene kids were still the primary subculture among young people. I remember hearing about awful bands like Blood on the Dance Floor and Cash Cash that year.
-The Iraq War was still ongoing.
-Dubstep (and EDM in general) was not as big as it would become in 2011/2012. Nobody knew who the likes of Avicii for example were until 2011.
-Minecraft was still in beta and, whilst popular, wasn't POPULAR POPULAR, as in, it wasn't "biggest game ever" territory yet.
-The Nintendo DS was still the current Nintendo handheld.
-Windows XP was still the most popular version of Windows (at least for part of the year)
-Steve Jobs was still alive.
