I saw a comment on youtube where they said maybe the 2020s will have a 90s vibe like the 2010s had an 80s vibe and it confused the heck out of me. It had basically nothing to do with the 80s or as much as it had in common with it as it did with the 70s and other 20th centuries decades.
If any modern decade is similar to the 80s it's the 2000s for various reasons like materialist values, a crisis(9/11, Aids crisis) very early in the decade, an election in the first year which elects a republican president that stays for the rest of the decade, rock being popular, electro music blowing up towards the end of it, etc.

The 2010s had a lot in common with the 80s too though, especially aesthetically. It’s a very soft, pastel aesthetic common in both decades.
Electronic music also dominated both decades, vs the rock and rap of the 90s and 00s.

Electronic music also dominated both decades, vs the rock and rap of the 90s and 00s. You can make comparisons with any two decades. Overall the 00s had far more in common with the 80s like the overarching theme of materialism and the republican president lasting all throughout the decade. The electronic music in the 80s and 10s couldn't sound any more different as well like electronic as a genre is pretty damn broad. The 80s also had rock and metal which is borderline non-existant in the 10s. The soft pastel aesthetic was bigger in the 90s than the 80s(like with barbie girl) also bigger in the 2020s than the 2010s with the exception of 2019.

Core 90s aesthetics were grungy and muted, whilst the Y2K era (which is what Barbie Girl is) is about vibrant colors. TV animation in both the 80s and 10s has a soft pastel look to it. Which it didn't in the 90s or 00s.

Regardless, The 80s and 2010s doesn't have a pastel aesthetic. 2019 has some pastel aesthetics like in taylor swifts "ME" music video and that looks very out of place in the 2010s with its more dull colours.

Neon colours was only really popular in the early 10s as well because of the electropop explosion. Yea but the early 2010s were one of the most memorable parts of the decade so it definitely will be associated with the color scheme of the decade in terms of what lenses people view it with in the future

The mid 2010s had plenty of music videos that looked like this

One noteworthy similarity I noticed.
Maybe it’s just me, but both decades to me have a very “upper-class” vibe to me. Especially with the 80s being defined by yuppies, and the 10s being defined by hipsters, both upper-middle to upper class subcultures. This coincides with the generally clean and polished look both decades had.
The 70s and 90s by contrast were much more low class, whilst the 00s are weird because they were super materialistic and obsessed with luxury, but had a low class “gangsta” attitude towards everything.

One of the things missing from the 2010s that the 80s had was the slow RnB and Rock ballads that reached the top billboard. The 2010s were a weird mix of the 2000s and 80s in that hipsters kind of resemble that yuppie sub-culture but at the same time a lot of the hip hop acts of the 2010s were either edgelords or super-materialistic rappers like 6ix9ine and Drake/Fetty Wap.

The 2010s also had a low class but only dressed in expensive clothes too, especially the hip hop scene in the later 2010s. Both decades were filled with posers. I remember in high school wearing Supreme branded clothes were all the rage since they were only sold at exclusive stores along with Hollister in the early 2010s I think hipster culture was more of a thing in people who were in they’re 30s and late 20ish at the time, while hip hop was more of a thing among teenagers even the white ones.
