Politically more 10s? Sure, especially in the US.
Culturally more 10s? Nope. Pop culturally still felt much more 00s for the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 school year.

100% agree on 2008. MySpace was still the dominant social media platform, Circuit City and KB Toys were still open, and scene was the defining subculture, not hipsters.
2009 I'm not sure. I mean, you had Windows 7, electropop really taking off, Obama as president, the beginning of the recovery from the recession, the start of the retail apocalypse, Nickelodeon changing their logo, etc.
2009 however doesn't really feel 2010s to me either. Scene was still bigger than hipster, some people still used MySpace, smartphones were not common, in fact, BlackBerries peaked this year, you still had some rock songs on the radio, Cartoon Network hadn't changed their logo, Adventure Time hadn't come out yet, nobody knew what Minecraft was, etc. etc.
2010 is where the 2010s really takes over. Seriously, people REALLY underestimate how changeful 2010 truly was as a year. By the end of that year, you knew you were no longer in the 2000s.

By the end of that year, you knew you were no longer in the 2000s. 2010 IMO was rather changeful thinking about it: You had the release of the iPad, Toy Story 3, MLP Friendship Is Magic, and the Kinect, MySpace was completely dead, rock music basically left the pop charts entirely (I think 2009 actually had a few rock crossovers like Gives You Hell), Cartoon Network changed their logo and released Regular Show and Adventure Time, and Dragon Tales stopped airing on PBS Kids completely and left the network (and Sprout).

That last point isn't really significant TBH, but you're right about everything else. It was especially changeful for television, technology, and music. Your point about rock music is very right. Look at these songs too

Look at these songs too Blockbuster also closed much of it's locations in the US and filed for bankruptcy. I guess the last point is kind of weird though. To me it was kind of sad because I remember looking through the Sprout schedule on the website and they had something on the site that said they were getting rid of it.

Hollywood Video also shut down in 2010. That's two things that defined the 90s and 00s that both died out in 2010: alternative rock, and video rental stores.

Crazy 2010 is only a decade apart from 2000... It seems a lot more like today than even 2002 or 2003.
