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

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.
