2018 was the first full year Gen Z really took over Millennial pop culture and it's when TikTok became a thing even though it really blew up in 2019. Hard to believe it's 5 years ago now even though there was a whole pandemic in between.

Some things changed here and there. I think we are starting the core 2020s.

Nowhere near as big as the change of 2018 from 2013, that's for damn sure.

Like nothing at all. 2013 was when the electro-pop era started dying, Vine came out and gradually gained popularity throughout the year, smartphones officially surpassed feature phones, the Black Lives Matter movement came out that year (although it didn't really gain attraction until like 2015-16) social media apps like Instagram and Snapchat started taking off. It was literally the start of the core 2010's and a completely different era from even 2009. I don't think anytime after mid-2011 has anything in common with the late 2000's, if I'm being honest.

BLM gained attention in 2014-2015 with Baltimore and Ferguson.

Overall, 2018 and 2023 are pretty similar.
I feel like you could easily group them together into one big cultural era and it wouldn't seem too controversial. The pandemic changed a lot, but I have always felt as though there's a lot of overlap between the late 2010s and the early 2020s as eras. Even 2017 doesn't feel that far removed to me. Trump's election victory feels like the cut-off point between what is still sort of "current" and what is now noticeably a 'different era'.
That being said, there are definitely some noticeable differences when you compare 2018 with 2023. I would say the two biggest ones are the absence of Trap 808s in pop music, and the rise of AI (e.g ChatGPT). 2018 was no doubt when Trap reached it's peak of success in the mainstream and the likes of Migos, 6ix9ine etc. are nowhere to be seen on the top-40 charts now. Even Post Malone has moved away from that sound in the years since. I'm not really sure how you would best describe what is currently popular right now, but trap has been absent from the charts for quite a while. It definitely doesn't have the influence that it had during the late 2010s.
Television has seen a pretty significant shift. "Game of Thrones", "The Walking Dead" and "The Big Bang Theory" were some of the biggest shows on-air back in 2018 and they're no longer even in production. In 2023, shows like "The Last of Us", "Wednesday" and "The Mandalorian" are making the most impact. In gaming, the 9th-generation of consoles weren't around back in 2018. It started in November 2020 with the releases of the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Superhero movies continue to be the best-performing movies at the box office. I would argue though that they haven't been as culturally influential since "Endgame" came out in 2019, but even with that said, there's no questioning that they're still massively popular overall.

From my observations, 2018 and 2023 feel quite different. However, I will include elements from the years in between. This is more 2022 based as 2023 just started. Musically, mumble rap has pretty much lost its cool (Thank God). Trap remains somewhat popular although rap has taken a more bounce approach. As shown with Megan Thee Stallion, Saweetie, Latto, and Doja Cat, and other female rappers, female rap has been more prevalent and either uses samples from 90s/2000s rap, or uses a more sophisticated and happier form of Trap beats rather than the dark generic trap beats from 2016-2019. Rap music generally uses happier instruments, as shown with Lil Nas X. You wouldn't hear of DaBaby or Roddy Ricch in 2018, as they are lyrical rappers that dominated the charts in 2021. Emo Soundcloud rap somehow isn't that popular anymore, though this has been the case since late 2020-ish. Pop music on the other hand has taken a more viby and chill approach, using some influence from 80s New Wave, as opposed to the EDM or sad trap inspired approach from 2018. Songs like Adore You, Heat Waves, As It Was, and sunroof present this summer vibe. Bedroom Pop, which defined 2019 and 2020, unfortunately isn't as popular anymore. 2020-2022 had hyperpop with sugarcrash and Brooklynbloodpop, that emerged in tiktok and was generally prevalent in the gaming community. Unfortunately, that genre fizzled out. Meanwhile, drift phonk music, which emerged in Russia in late 2021, became mainstream around the summer of 2022 here in Canada and the US, replacing hyperpop. Phonk music is basically the new Dubstep, which is the successor to Trap EDM that was dominant among the gaming community in 2018. Rock has made a slight comeback in 2021 with Olivia Rodrigo, Maneskin, and Gayle, although I'm not sure if that trend will continue or be revived considering it also kind of lost its cool in Summer 2022. Movie wise, nothing much changed. However, the MCU is no longer in the Infinity Saga. 2018 was the second last year of that era. Infinity war showed that the end of the Infinity Saga was coming, and Endgame did just that in 2019. The MCU backlash has become more prevalent in 2021 after the release of Eternals, and continued with Thor Love and Thunder and Quantumania. The only good phase 4 movie was Spider-Man No Way Home, also the only phase 4 movie to cross 1 billion at the box office so far. Disney remakes and sequels are also nothing new, still ongoing. While this may not be important, Avatar 2 has reached 2 Billion in the box office in 2023. TV is vastly different from 2018, aside from a few Exceptions. 2000s and 2010s shows such as The Bing Bang Theory and Game Of Thrones were still ongoing in 2018, both ended in 2019. Disney+ and new netflix shows have taken over in 2019/2020, and that trend continues today. Star Wars shows such as Mandalorian, and MCU shows such as Wandavision show that this is evident (She-Hulk was a fail though, yuck). With Netflix, Squid Game has taken the world by storm in 2021, and the hype for season 2 continues today. Wednesday is the latest trending show here. While Yellowstone was released in 2018, it is more popular now than it was then. I could be wrong but the only TV show that I could think of that was popular in both 2018 and 2023 is Stranger Things. Video Games and technology have seen noticeable changes. Fortnite was HUGE in 2018. That is still the case but it is no longer dominant in 2023 since there are newer games like Elden Ring and Warzone that took over its popularity. Overwatch is also not as popular anymore. Tiktok, which was released internationally in late 2018, and became really popular in Spring 2019 made a difference in music and memes, and that trend continues. A lot of the things I said can be wrong but these are just my observations
