"Prayer in C" is actually a good example of Deep House transitioning into Tropical House, it's a little more introspective feeling than most TH, but still more sunny and poppy than most DH :)

Anyway I will add:

Indie Pop: 2011-2015
Pumped Up Kicks, Somebody That I Used to Know, Cool Kids

Alternative R&B: 2015-2018
The Hills, Hotline Bling, Needed Me

Future Bass: 2016-2019
Closer, Happier, The Middle

Wow 2013 had the most variety probably. Thanks for your list. I love that there are examples. I think it should be pinned.

I concur. This is actually an informative list.

Maybe reorder the list to be a bit more progressive tho, like have the present ones toward the end.

Blandness, blandness, blandness for the most part. I can name Despacito as the obvious exception to my ears, but I have a feeling that this decade just wanted to make itself sound like it wasn't manufactured dirt. I can understand why, but it's ended up sounding bland to me. I don't know why they chose the notes they did.
