There Was No Shift Since 2020

I don't care what anyone says. People just don't realize that cultural trends and world events are constantly changing so of course you can pick any year and call it a shift. A shift would constitute when pop culture, politics, world events all change at the same time. The last time this happened was in 2020. The 2019 - 2020 school year to be precise. Since then, I don't care what anybody says about the pandemic ending and country music being popular, there was no shift. I think this decade will be a split decade. The next shift is in 2025, when Donald Trump is inaugurated, 10th Gen Gaming begins, AI truly takes off, new music and shows and movies appear, etc. This would probably be when the next shift is. I don't know why some people think a shift happens every 2 years or whatever, people seem to think 2022 was a shift year? What? We are in the same general feel and era as we were in 2020 even if the pandemic ended. I think this will change in 2025 though for Trump's second term, when things will truly shift and change, the decade will build a more clear identity, and nostalgia will die down. This will be the late 2020s, the second half of this decade.

Separating decades into thirds was truly a '90s / 2000s phenomenon because those decades had so much rapid change so it made sense to do but it doesn't make sense anymore to be honest.
