;D

Edit : hmm weird thread edit lol.

Who says they don't take in the present? Most the teens I know on this board like the 2010s.


I changed the topic because it would prob go over everyones heads lol

Idk if it has aged well yet, but the early 10’s has a very unique culture and aesthetics, starting with neon colors, “old memes” and other stuff, which are signs to make it a very nostalgic era in the future

I agree looking back at old photos. It won't be too long before the mid 2010s age horribly too.

I agree, because neon fashion only lasted until 2014, and the electropop rave scene died in early 2013, when other genres like Trap and EDM took over. Dubstep also didn’t last long either, when it started becoming bad in 2013, and ironically, Justin Bieber started making good music around 2012. Katy Perry and Rihanna remained popular, but they’re already adapting to the core 2010’s Trap style around late 2013, and Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande flew to the charts. 2010-2012 had no minimalism feel yet, as it was still 3D and skeuomorphic in a lot of websites, and Windows 7. This 3D skeuomorphic feel lasted until mid 2015, although with the breakthrough of Windows 8, minimalism and flat designs are rapidly growint in popularity. Smosh is still popular today, but not as big as they were in 2010-14, when other YouTubers like PewDiePie, Jenna Marbles, Roman Atwood, and a lot of other YouTubers taking over around 2013. But the surviving cultural traces from the early 2010s are Minecraft, Smartphones, Roblox, Tablets, Game of Thrones, and The Walking Dead.

It has aged for sure but I wouldn't say it aged horribly especially when you have smartphones, social media and skinny jeans that pretty much carried throughout the decade. Early 10s feels more connected to the late 10s than the late 00s was to the early 00s.

2011 was really the last year where feature phones were still dominant over smartphones. The crossover happened sometime in 2012. I got my first smartphone at the age of 17 in 2012.

Smartphones overshadowed feature phones popularity in 2011.

In the US and in most western countries, feature phones still had the upper hand on smartphones in 2011. But the pace of the transition was quite dramatically fast over the course of 2010 to 2012.

Not to mention Android and IOS started annihilating other operating systems starting in 2012

Of course it has. So much corn has come out of that era lol. It was destined to age poorly.

In my area it was common to have a smartphone in 2011.

Funny how yall  saying the early 10s aged poorly but to most normal people it was like 5 minutes ago. The early 10s is definitely old for sure but people still can't fathom that we're 10 years removed from 2009. 2000 was pretty old by 2009, yet people were saying "oh my God I can't believe 1999 were a decade ago it feels like yesterday i was playing Pokemon". I say 2019 is more connected to 2010 than 2009 was to 2000.

It was common here too, but just because something is common doesn’t mean it’s dominant or the majority. 40% is a minority but can be considered common.

Remember when "Baby" was a thing?

Yeah the early 2010s have aged quite poorly, but what you can do ;D

Early and late 2010s don't seem that connected to me, technology is somewhat similar (and still tablets were far more common and hyped up back then for example), but anything else has shifted someway or the other. Sometimes spectacularly (politics, internet culture, the mood in music)

Doesn't every time period age horribly? ???

I totally agree. It may just be our age. This website is dominated by younger folks now born in the 2000s. But yeah the early 2010s aren't THAT long ago to me either. I mean it is noticeably distant for me but it's nothing like a different world. I was still an adult in the early 2010s so that may also play a role but the people who are 18 now were children then. I remember in 2009 I thought the early 2000s were ancient lol but people older than me didn't think that at all. It's all about perspective.

I think the early 2010s will definitely age horribly in 10 years from now. It will be worse than the embarrassment of the cheesy 1980s. It was just a very, very tacky era with Justin Bieber, One Direction, all the bright colours everywhere and words like YOLO and SWAG and all the dance music and autotune and dubstep and the fact people were still BBMing... The bright fashion and clothing mixed with the hipster style that got popular made things even more awkward. And then if someone looks at a video like Rebecca Black's Friday they would think what were they thinking lol. And Even thinking about it now makes me cringe lol. The people who were kids then will love it though. To be fair the 2010s in general were pretty cheesy but the early 2010s takes it to a whole other level.

We didn't say the early 2010s felt like they were a long time ago. We said it aged poorly and several of the people saying this are older than you.

It didn't age horribly yet, too recent. In 5-10 years it will.

The things that separate the early 2010s from other eras would be out of place in today's climate. But that's not the sole reason it's aged horribly. It's that in addition to the fact that a lot of the culture was corny, cheesy, and almost juvenile. It happens to all the eras like that  (the 80s, Y2K era, early 2010s). That's why it's aged horribly.

Also, this but if the time period is corny, it makes things much worse. 

Yeah I definitely think it's THE part of the decade that will be massively ridiculed in the next decade (which is next year...).

I think the music is definitely the thing that makes the era completely stand-out, despite teens today missing it, it still a controversial and mixed era among music enthusiasts.

For example, I found this internet user who's reviewing Billboard hits as a hobby and hates vehemently on the early 2010s.
The contrast between the sound of the 2000s and the sound of the 2010s is stark. Electroclash almost completely took over the pop charts for a solid two years until indie rock and electropop wrenched back control, creating a miniature "dark age" of pop music. For me, personally, 2010 is the worst year of popular music that charted on Billboard. The number of good songs out at the time is remarkably shallow. Instead, all we had was trashy club anthem after trashy club anthem.
