If I had to give this decade a name it would have to be "The Narcissist Twenty-Teens" thanks to Social Media and YouTube. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Tik Tok, YouTube.ect have Influenced this decade to where we became narcissist.

I call it the Turbulent Tens since it was so changeful from beginning to end. I don't think we've seen such a changeful decade since the '60s.

Sadly you may not be wrong. I hope some better trend emerges in how we interact online and platforms to do so.  ???

I feel like every decade leading up to now has their own fair share of turbulence. But while I do agree that the 2010s are turbulent, the 2000s were possibly more hectic considering that people had to endure 9/11, the Iraq War/War on Terror, and the Great Recession.

I was thinking more along the lines of social changes. The Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, the LGBTQ revolution, the Euromaidan, the 2015 refugee crisis, Brexit, the rise of far right populism, #MeToo etc. The list is exhaustive (I had a bigger list but accidentally hit back page grrr). The world from 2010 feels unrecognizable. I don't remember this being the case between 2008 and 2000, there were technological changes sure, but socially life carried on as normal. The recession really turned everything upside down.

Then I actually agree with you on the 2010s being more turbulent in terms of sociopolitical change.

So do you think the 2010's were more transitional socially and the 2000's were more transitional technologically?

I would say yes to the former. I would say the latter is debateable. Some focus on gadgets, the 2000s had a lot of those: digital cameras, Blu-ray players, HDTVs, cellphones etc. The 2010s consolidated everything into smartphones, so there weren't many new gadgets, but I think it's wrong to focus on DVDs and iPods like they completely changed the game but then ignore Netflix or Spotify as a technological game changer.

I've been noticing that trend a lot.
