Pop Culture/Music wise, 1960 vs 1969. This is because musically, the 60s were the most experimental decade of the 20th Century. In 1960, rock music was still just a fad that was intended to be played at dances and parties, and never intended to become a dominant music genre. But then came the rise of surf rock in 1962, the British Invasion in 1964, the release of experimental albums such as "Pet Sounds" in 1966 and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" in 1967, and the advent of heavy metal music with "Helter Skelter" in 1968. By 1969, rock music had already matured into a dominant music genre. The 60s went from songs like "The Twist" and "Only The Lonely" in 1960 to songs like "Pinball Wizard" and "Whole Lotta Love" in 1969. Technology wise, 1990 vs 1999. This is largely due to the advent of the internet, as there were no websites back in 1990, while in 1999 the Dot Com bubble was already bursting. Plus video games changed radically in the 90s. In 1990, Nintendo's main home console was the 8-bit NES, while in 1999, Sega released the 128-bit Dreamcast. That's a vast difference right there, and it all happened due to the advances in video game technology that happened in the 90s. I agree. It's quite incredible to think that music could progress to the extent that it did during the '60s. The '60s would have been an amazing decade to experience. 1970s: I still can't believe this song is from the same decade that vintage counterculture music was still prominent. For quite a long time, I completely assumed it was from well into the '80s because of its synthy, futuristic sound. Yep. "Heart of Glass" must have sounded very futuristic at the time of it's release.

SharksFan99 Except for the fact that being a teen in the 60s would've also risked a Vietnam War draft. @ghost If rock music was examplified as a human being, it's age stages would go like this. 1949 = Its birth (Rock the Joint) 1950s = its childhood, when it was young and playful 1960s = Its adolescence, when it was still developing and trying to figure out what it wanted to be. 1967 = Its 18th birthday, when it became an adult. This is due to "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band", which heavily helped mature the genre. 1970s = its 20-somethings, when it was fully matured, and at the prime of its life. 1980s = its 30-somethings 1990s = its 40-somethings, when it had a mid-life crisis. This is due to the re-emergence of the grittiness of the genre with grunge. 2000s = its 50-somethings 2010s = its 60-somethings, when it retired from work. This is due to the genre no longer being prominent in the mainstream.

The Little Mermaid is commonly seen as the starter of the Disney Renaissance, therefore it is often mislabeled as a 90s movie, while in fact it came out in 1989. This means it shares the same decade with The Black Cauldron, which is commonly seen as one of the worst Disney movies ever.
In fact The Little Mermaid is closer to the release of The Black Cauldron (1985) than to the peak of the Renaissance, which is The Lion King in 1994.

When you consider it from that perspective, it makes a lot of sense.

I honestly don’t think “Fireflies” sounds that futuristic, to be frank. Sure, it has a wonky vocal performance and a few vibrant synthesizers, but the percussion is extremely 2000s, and the mixing really lacks the heavy reverb that you’d typically expect from 2010s songs. In fact, I think “Fireflies” sounds extremely similar to this song by East 17, taken from their 1995 album Up All Night and popular in Britain in early 1996:

You might be right on that fact that it's a bit dated on a few technical levels such the more pronounced, slower snares (though tbh I noticed a resurgence of it lately). But these last few years I personally think it really has that flavor of being a song that would have big around 2013-2015 when electro-indie pop acts like Imagine Dragons and Capital Cities were becoming ubiquitous. Imo it really feels and sounds it will would have been more at home amidst hits like "La La La", "Rather Be", "Cool Kids", "Elastic Hearts" and "Team" rather than anywhere in the late 2000s.

1930 ) 1939  The 1930s are arguably the most transformative decade for animation since its creation. The decade started with a very stylized art style, stretchy motions and in black and white, and ended in colors, very refined with far more realistic motions. Animated full length movies were also a groundbreaker from that period. That decade was also very changful for cinema in general.

Thing is though,1930 was the first year talkies were completely mainstream. Silent movies declined primarily in the late ‘20s. However, I would point to the Code as dramatically impacting the industry.

Now that we're close to the end of the 2010s, I can't help but feel astonised by how dramatically music has transformed since 2010.
Rap at the start of the decade:
Rap later in the same decade:
We went from funky, fleshed-out, melodious, earnest, and somewhat corny hip hop to extreme post-modernism all in less than 10 years!
Pop itself also seems incredibly different between then...
And now...
I also can't believe this...
...is from the same decade as something like this...

^Yeah I agree. The 2010s in popular music has to be one of the biggest and weirdest shift in tone out of all the decades so far. Even the year 1969 had plenty of corny hit songs that could have easily fit into the early 60s. I think it will be even more obvious in restrospect.
We started the decade with most songs being anthemic, abrasive and highly sproingy and end it with most of them being gritty, atmospheric and down-to-earth.
Right now this is one of the biggest songs in Hip Hop:
Only a few years ago this was a huge Hip Hop song:
How more constrasting can you go?

In 2016, the biggest rap song was about how being a child was easier. In 2015, the biggest rap song was a tribute song. In 2014, the biggest rap song was by a white Australian woman accompanied with a DJ Mustard-type beat. In 2013, the biggest rap song was a take on materialism in Hip-Hop with a looping Saxaphone beat. This decade was very shifty and changeful in hindsight.
