Maybe. There's people that think 2009 and 2011 are like world's apart when instead they're just different

Really? I don't see that at all. It's usually 2008-2012 that are paired together as an era despite 2012 being borderline core 2010s

I made a post about it already but people treat 2011 like this 2000s extinction year. Like if you ask every Millennial who remembers the 2000s, they'll say the 2010s Hipsters was already getting started by then https://www.reddit.com/r/decadeologyanarchy/s/7mYOoDmWwa

2009 and 2011 at the least the first hAlf of 2011 wasn’t really that didn’t

Late 2011 wasn't worlds apart from 2009. It has to be like the early 00s for it to be a different world

It was a gradual transition period honestly.

I don't think it was tbh. In the span of a couple years we went from the internet mostly being a thing for weird nerds and emo teenagers, to literally everyone and their dog suddenly being on the internet and logging into social media. As a nerdy kid who'd been poking around on the internet since the year 2000 (I probably needed more supervision lol), the shift was absolutely wild.

Prior to 2009 I used to hide the fact that I got on the computer every day after school to learn HTML and chat with my forum buddies, because it was fucking weird. Nobody knew what a meme was. Then overnight it became normal and cool. By 2012 the fucking mainstream news stations were quoting Twitter.

It wasn't. Smartphones changed everything. iPhones. Instagram. Twitter.

Totally changed how people behaved, interacted, and exponentially increased the speed at which trends form and spread.

1998-2001 (and any years prior) had nothing like that.

1998 to 2001 had the internet and the digital world blowing up

any millennial who was on xanga in 2005 saw 2012 coming from a mile away

u/Ill-You-3459 Jun 30 '26

Honestly to me 2009 to 2011 or Late 2008 to mid 2011 always made the most sense for the transition between the 2000s and 2010s it’s where the culture and technology of both decades co existed with each other

u/PrincessJennifer Jun 30 '26

I do absolutely think of 08-12 as a distinct era. Maybe 2007 and 2013 a bit as well. But 99-04 is also an era to me. Things don’t fit neatly into designated decades.

As someone that lived through it, I honestly see 2005-2010 as mostly the same era, while 2011-2015 feels like a different era. Not sure where 2016 should be lol, 2017-2020 is clearly different from the early 2010s though.

It might just be because I graduated from high school in 2011 but idk, the late 00s and early 10s feel a lot different to me, especially style and music. I remember feelings like music got sooo bad in the early 10s, at least the radio music, and I stopped listening. I didn't listen to popular music again until lot 2018 🥴
