This seems fun and i'll get in on this as well: *preface: it took me forever to finish college*

2009-2010: High School Senior Year: late '00s and early '10s culture is in full swing. While some holdovers still exist from core '00s culture still exist, they're on their last leg. With the "jerking" trend becoming huge at the time, i began to see many more black guys (speaking as one myself) wearing skinny jeans and bright colored t-shirts. A lot of popular music at this point still has a lot of T-Pain(ish) autotune. Electro-pop has taken over the top 40 The 7th generation of gaming is still in full effect with the XBOX 360, PS3, and Wii still pretty popular at this point. Smartphones are starting to become a fairly normal thing, with the smartphone market not quite yet homogenized and many companies having their own OS's.

2010-2011: That Weird Personal Year That I Don't Want to Go Into: The first full school year of the 2010s. More popular music goes for a four on the floor type sound. T-Pain(ish) autotune in rap begins to decline. We see the debut of Bruno Mars and the rise in popularity of Adele. Also, "What's a dubstep?". We begin to see the rise of hipster fashion, with skinny jeans and flannel with the popularity of hipster frames in eye glasses. With the arrival of the iPhone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S, we begin to see smartphones beginning to become a new norm among cell phone users. Mobile gaming gets its most popular release to date with Angry Birds hitting iOS the latter part of 2009. Twitter and instagram are peaking in popularity.

2011-2012: College Freshman Year: The rise of "memes" (image macros such as success kid, forever alone, Y U No, first world problems, etc.) and rage comics. Electropop begins to fade into the development of what we know now as pop-EDM. Dubstep's popularity begins to grow super quickly, with dubstep remixes of songs becoming viral. We see one of the decade's biggest influences (in terms of beat production) hit the scene, DJ Mustard (Rack City by Tyga). Siri hits iOS devices that fall and begins to change the game for smartphone users. Mobile gaming is also rising in popularity. Hipster culture is in full swing at this point.

2012-2013: College Sophomore Year: DUBSTEP IS EVERYWHERE...PLEASE MAKE IT STOP. Dubstep has infiltrated the pop scene so much that there are needless drops everywhere (see Men in Black 3). Most songs on Top 40 radio stations (if they aren't dubstep related) have pop EDM drops with 4 on the floor beats. We see obvious autotune (not as vocal correction but as an obvious effect) hit the scene as we're introduced to Future. We see viral trends such as The Harlem Shake and Screaming Goats blow up on YouTube. The former becomes important soon. iOS gets its biggest update yet with iOS 6 and Samsumg proves to Apple that its a viable competitor with the release of the Samsung Galaxy S3. We see the birth of a nice little app called vine. The 8th Generation of gaming has begun with the release of the Wii U...which is sort of a commercial flop by comparison. By this point in time, most late '00s influences are gone and the 2010's have truly found themselves.

2013-2014: College Junior Year: Hi Disco, i havent seen you in...35 years. That's right guys! Disco is back...for a short while. With "Get Lucky", "Treasure", "Blurred Lines" and many other hits this year we get a short break from pop EDM for you to get out there and boogie. Vine has blown up in popularity with the rise of Viral (or at the time Vine) trends, with trends such as Harlem Shake taking the internet by storm in the previous year, the door has opened for viral trends to become a new norm. Speaking of Harlem Shake...trap. No...not T.I.'s kind of trap...EDM trap. Trap has taken the pop realm by storm, taking dubstep's place in mainstream. Everyone has a bass drop...even Katy Perry. Speaking of bass drops, mustard's on that beat ho. Mike Will and DJ Mustard's sound take mainstream rap by storm. Also, are you tired of rapping in regular 4/4 time? Do feel its boring? Well, we've solved your problem: now introducing "The Migos" (Versace) flow. Turn ALL of your flows in to triplets!!!  ::) We're also introduced to a little group called Chainsmokers...they may seem like a novelty group, but don't take them for granted. We begin to see pop EDM's rise back to popularity in early 2014. The release of the XBOX One and PS4 mark the full swing of the 8th Generation in gaming. We see the beginning of what would become a shift in the cultural and political climate with the case of the shooting of Trayvon Martin coming to a close.

2014-2015: College Senior Year...the first one: The social and political climate begins to shift into a darker state when the Trayvon Martin case leads to the exposure of police brutality and more high profile shootings (ie: Michael Brown and Eric Garner). Racial tension is beginning to build. And we begin to see the rise of the Social Justice Warrior at this point. EDM trap is huge at this point. However in pop charts, pop EDM is seeing a decline and goes to a more organic feel for a while. A new wave of Rock artists are hitting the scene.  Rap sees the beginning of mumble rap with artists such as Young Thug taking the ring. DJ Mustard's sound begins to wane at this point, thus leading to a more Trap oriented sound in Hip-Hop. Obvious autotune becomes a regular sound in hip-hop again (which happened waaaay too soon imo). Snapchat hits peak popularity.

2015-2016: The Fifth Year: We begin to see pop EDM more into a future bass(ish) kind of sound, with early form of the dance hall sound that is taking place in pop music currently. This is the last year of vine, in which vine begins (much like YouTube) to become heavily commercialized. "Dank memes" become popular with the rise of MLG parodies and remixes. A new era of rap is taking place as more mumble rappers hit the scene. And most of the political and social climate is the same.

2016-2017: THE LAST YEAR...took long enough..: Dancehall-esque pop music hits the scene and pop EDM has completely morphed from a 4 on the floor big room house feel to dancehall or tropical house. Remember the Chainsmokers? Turns out they aren't a one-hit novelty wonder anymore. If you got sick of trap rap in the previous years, you may as well turn off the radio station because EVERYONE is doing it...

I'm tired...i got kind of lazy with the last couple. lol

You're taking as long to finish university as I did. :D Those are good descriptions btw.

2010-11: The first "2010s" school year. Marked by the wild popularity of electropop and indie as well as rock music's slow exodus from the mainstream. Long hair is on the way out too.
2011-12: Electropop and indie pop still dominate the charts. Hipster fashion is on the rise, but not 100% mainstream.
2012-13: Electropop is slowly fading, but still fairly popular. Disco makes a brief, surprise comeback. Emo trend breathes its final dying breaths.
May emo, rock music and long hair on guys rest in peace  :\'(

**** you Bieber and everyone else that killed them off! I'll avenge you for this!

2013-14: The (temporary) death of electropop births the EDM craze. Last year of full political unity. Social-media networks Instagram and Snapchat reach peak popularity.
2014-15: Trap emerges as a major musical force. EDM continues to steadily gain popularity. Also country music births a bizarre mutant named "bro-country". Transitioning from a more innocent time to a more divided time--thanks to scares and incidents like Ebola, ISIS's rise and multiple high-profile police killings.
2015-16: Trap and EDM at their peak. Politically heated and divided.
2016-17: The third year of trap being insanely popular, though its popularity may be beginning to wane, and EDM maintains its strong following. Bro-country is dying. Unusually conservative youth.
The conservative youth were asking for it when they were busy killing off rock music, emo and long hair on guys!

The 2010s is hell.

I agree. The mindset of the typical late Millennial/early Gen Z (b. 1994-2002), I really don't care for. And their pop culture trends are mindless, pointless.... why, does rock music pose a threat to the right-leaning segments of today's youth? And why does it? Do they prefer effeminate, manufactured teen pop that emphasize on conformity and obedience? Is rock/metal/punk too anti-authoritarian for their liking? Is that it?

They want Hitler-Jugend to be a thing again. There's an obsession among youth of today on being "classy" and "grown up", which I think this decade is trying to reflect, what with the bland music and the fashion, and the haircuts. They're the sort that trust Trump without questioning him, like freaking lemmings, and he's untrustworthy because he's a secretive and an inconsistent politician who also wants to cause his own people pain since he's made lead bullets legal again for hunting which will give people lead poisoning.

I have a short curtain hair at the moment, which is kind of effeminate, but then I got a strong beard game too. I'm going for some Italian beach look. ;D

I am probably as right wing/conservative as it gets in my grade (C/O 2017) but I never wanted to see the whole "Hitler youth" become a thing again (basically breaks the idea in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal), and I could agree that it is repulsive indeed.

These "alt right" characters (Jared Taylor, Andrew Anglin, Richard Spencer, Kevin B. MacDonald, etc) actually are not really right wing. Richard Spencer, for example, is pro-abortion (likely for eugenics and the whole "1488" thing), ridicules the constitution, bashes "normal" conservatives (like myself, and he will call people like me "cucks"), is against individual freedom and individualism, advocates a big government, and is against free market economics. I just see them as fools who worship Germany in the 1930's and 40's.

The far right in Europe are very left wing when it comes to economics. I find it easier to call them out on their economic illiteracy rather than their racism or authoritarianism, since they don't really care about being immoral or unethical, but if you call them illiterate or stupid, it drives them up the wall.

I still think Le Pen lost not because she wanted a police state or anything like that, but because she wanted France to use a dual currency system (Franc for local trade and Euros for international trade), and that exposed her for being completely incompetent.

I don't really consider myself "right-wing" at all, and I believe in the sanctity of the constitution. I probably share many of your ideals, as I identify partially as a small-l libertarian. The Alt-Right's rise is giving unwanted attention to some very ugly ideas and ideals. If there were more "conservatives", like Rand Paul or Justin Amash, who reached out across party lines and operated constitutionally, I would have far more faith in the movement.... however, you allow fear-mongering asshats like Limbaugh to dominate your movement and you lose whatever moderate bipartisan ways you once had. Not that the left aren't without faults either.

Sadly, I'm seeing anti-SJW conservatives and the far right looking like they're beginning to agree with each other more and more, especially since someone on YouTube who claims to stand for free speech used the words "cultural Marxism" unironically.

I'm against both sides. SJW and Alt-right are two extreme sides in one coin if anything. I have a feeling that "normal" conservatives like myself are a dying breed. I haven't really been that deep into politics as I had before, and I might just get out of it for good one day.

Within five years they'll probably fizzle out of relevancy though.

I've looked at the views of the Alt-Right extensively and I'm a person who is liberal. I consider myself as in the middle of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders on the ideological spectrum. However, even though many "normal" conservatives say that they disagree with the Alt-Right...more often than not "normal" Conservatives and the Alt-Right agree with each other. The 2016 election proved that...they didn't care that Trump promised to basically form a police state as long as he was targeting "the illegals and the Muslims...even the Blacks". Many "normal" Conservatives can give up on their principles in hopes that Trump can stop the inevitable....which is the US as it is now (majority White and majority Christian) is coming to an end. They fear that how people of color are treated now is how White people will be treated when in the US becomes majority non-White. Obviously, that's just nonsensical but it's why they voted for Trump whether directly or indirectly. Everyone knows what "Make America Great Again" really means.

I'm more of an economic conservative (I agree with trickle down economics, I want a small government, I disagree with excessive government spending, I disagree with higher taxes, and I want things private, such as health care for example). To the Alt-right, I'm an undercover SJW if I were to express my views to them.

Me: I'm fine with immigration, as long as it is legal.
Alt-right: Only whites should immigrate

Me: Pro-life
Alt-right: Pro-choice (pro-life for whites only)

Me: Interracial couples are fine; they love each other and that's what matters - and if I tell any of them that I am half white and half Asian, they (like the people on Red Ice Radio, Kevin MacDonald, and Andrew Anglin for example) probably would think that I should be killed.
Alt-right: Mass hysteria over interracial couples. Ironically, you even have mixed race people in the Alt-right movement (examples include James Allsup and Marcus Epstein), and they probably don't even know that people like Andrew Anglin want to kill them.

You're better off identifying yourself as a libertarian, IMO.

That's what the alt right call themselves. And T Rex would be a "cuckservative" ;D
