20->''"2013? I'm sick of hearing about 2013! If it's supposed to be 2013, how come I'm stuck driving this old beater instead of a flying car, eh? And why am I still wearing this threadbare old suit? Couldn't you give me something more dashing?"''

23The Twenty-Tens or Two Thousand (and) Tens. Or "the Teens". The Tense 2010s.
24
25The first uses of the year 2010 surged late in the 20th century as a TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture date as the year 2000 was getting closer, apart from looking for something more original. The word "New" is used to distinguish the 2010s from the 1910s -- arguably unnecessary since there are few people alive who remember TheEdwardianEra (the current oldest living person as of 2023 was 3 when King Edward died, and just 7 when [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI WWI]] began, and the oldest-known living Brit was 4).
26
27In political terms, the decade began between 2008 and 2012, with the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 and UsefulNotes/BarackObama's election as the first African American President of the United States in November. This was quickly followed by the swine influenza pandemic (2009); the first UK coalition government since UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, the rise of [=WikiLeaks=], the American Tea Party, the British UKIP, the Spaniard "Indignados" and the BP oil spill (2010); "Occupy Wall Street", the Arab Spring, the death of UsefulNotes/OsamaBinLaden, Anonymous, the first American government shutdown since TheNineties, the Tucson and Oslo massacres (2011); UsefulNotes/VladimirPutin becoming President of Russia--for the second time, the Aurora and Sandy Hook massacres, and Barack Obama's reelection (2012). In popular culture terms, the decade began in 2010-12 with the rise of Hipster culture, which coincided with rock being replaced by electronic and urban music as the driving force of pop music. Smartphones and tablets quickly became commonplace, and Creator/{{Netflix}} and Spotify surged as major players, kickstarting the streaming business.
28
29In the West, the decade began with young, cosmopolitan and progressive leaders being voted to replace the folksy, "gut feeling"-centered and conventional politicians that marked the 2000s. Their modernizing ambitions however ended up colliding with the realities brought upon by the economic downturn of 2005-10 and the Pyrrhic outcome of UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror, which led to a widespread climate of distrust towards the establishment, embodied by the surge of populist movements both on the left and the right, gradually leading to a level of political confrontation not seen in decades. "[[WesternTerrorists Homegrown terrorism]]" became increasingly common, with politicians engaging into an endless debate about a response.
30
31Social reforms (primarily regarding same-sex marriage) met with little approval and fierce criticism both from conservatives who did not ask for them as well from progressives who felt short-changed. The loss of economic certainty following the 2008-09 financial crisis led to calls for wider welfare provisions as well as the return of high-paying manufacturing jobs as the rise of the tech industry generated a long period of economic growth offset by little improvement at best for those not in said sector. A number of controversies regarding digital piracy and net neutrality generated more suspicion over the relationship between political and corporate interests, and the uncovering of the National Security Agency led to concerns about surveillance. Cases of [[PoliceBrutality police brutality]] against black people, anti-immigration policies, and hate crimes against minorities reduced faith in law and order among these groups. Feminism returned to prominence as the "gender gap" became a major source of concern. Towards the end of the decade, the exposure of prolific film producer [[Creator/TheWeinsteinCompany Harvey Weinstein]] as a serial sexual abuser and anger over U.S. President UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump’s alleged treatment of women kick-started the #[=MeToo=] movement,[[note]]The term was coined by black civil rights activist Tarana Burke in 2006 but was popularized by actress Creator/AlyssaMilano shortly after the Weinstein revelations went public[[/note]] in which women (and some men) in Hollywood and beyond opened up about their experiences of sexual abuse, leading to the resignations and ostracism of many powerful men and the demand for greater sexual equality.
32
33In the Arab world, the death of UsefulNotes/OsamaBinLaden in 2011 did not end Islamic extremism. UsefulNotes/TheArabSpring, which began as a pro-democracy protest movement, soon gave way to civil war and brutal suppression in most places, particularly Syria and Libya. [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters Many rebel groups sprang up]] (with those fighting the Syrian government being supported either by oil-rich Persian Gulf States, Western countries, or both) and began occupying territories that fell into anarchy after the U.S. pulled out of Iraq. Before long, during the second hald of the decade, the militant "Islamic State" had not only spread over numerous Arab countries, but also became infamous for taking hostages and beheading them. Their deeds also led to [[WarRefugees a massive exodus from those countries]] towards Europe and North America. The migrant crisis generated even more tensions, with anti-Muslim sentiments gaining traction over the ensuing rise in crime rates and fears that terrorists were trying to break through.
34
35The East saw an increased influence over global affairs: China and (to a lesser extent) India largely avoided the Great Recession, becoming economic powerhouses, which seemed to make ChinaTakesOverTheWorld closer to reality. Russia recovered some of its Cold War-era power (becoming decisive over the Syrian conflict and supporting rightist populist movements throughout the West), and North Korea had the world worrying about a nuclear conflict with the West. In cultural terms, Japan's place as the continent's cultural and economic powerhouse became disputed by South Korea.
36
37On the one hand, the early years of the decade were marked by escapist fare, such as ''Series/{{Glee}}'', the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse films, young adult-geared romantic dramas and "[[LighterAndSofter shiny reboots]]". However, [[DarkerAndEdgier sordid settings and cynical attitudes]] thrived in media, reflecting the turbulent sign of the times. {{Dystopia}}n fiction (''Literature/TheHungerGames'', ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'', ''Literature/{{Divergent}}'') and horror films (''Film/{{The Purge|Universe}}'') served as allegories for the growing social and economic divisions in American society. Dark cable dramas (''Series/GameOfThrones'', ''Series/TheWalkingDead'', ''Series/BreakingBad'') took away the spotlight from broadcast network shows, and several franchises got acclaimed grim-and-gritty interpretations in the vein of ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy''. Even nostalgia got [[NostalgiaAintLikeItUsedToBe an ironic twist]] thanks to the {{Hipster}} subculture, ironically popularizing the past like never before, most markedly indicated by a noticeable burst in newfound enthusiasm for analog audiovisual media such as vinyl records, film stock, and CRT televisions. As the social climate became even more tense by the second half of the decade, escapism not only became [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids totally unfashionable]] outside of kid-geared works, but also triggered a raging debate about works becoming [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical either too politicized or not political enough]].
38
39The earlier years of the decade saw a change on what "manliness" meant in the West, while 1990s/2000s-era "lipstick feminism" took a more progressive, [[TamerAndChaster less debauched]] direction and popularized terms such as "empowerment" and "mansplaining", also reclaiming others previously used as slurs such as "witch" and "bitch", although by the end of it, gender conventions in general became openly questioned and defied. Similarly, LGBT characters began popping up in fiction and a number of celebrities came out/transitioned to little controversy, whereas the mere presence of gay characters in mainstream media had been an extremely touchy subject as recently as the end of the previous decade. In some ways, the late 2010s proved to be a turning point for the visibility of transgender and related subjects much like the late 1990s were for homosexuality.
40
41After almost a half-century defining popular music, rock vanished from the mainstream (with only a few crossover hits), being replaced by [[ElectronicMusic Electronic Dance Music]] and HipHop, as pop culture became increasingly centered on affluent urban, non-white and female audiences. Electronic Dance Music replaced the more upbeat Eurodance and Disco genres, and both cynicism and escapism were seen in this era of music videos. Whereas more adult-oriented music videos of the past tended to be upbeat and exciting, in this era they were often marked by the aesthetics of being tired or depressed. The beginning of the decade also marked the revival of the "musical heartthrob" phenomenon -- but, this time, American acts took a backseat to those coming from Great Britain, whose culture became popular again as it gained a reputation as being highly sophisticated relative to more lowbrow North American counterparts. During the second half of the decade, Hispanic "Reggaeton" and Korean [[KoreanPopMusic "KPop"]] acts became popular around the world after years of unabated dominance of their home bases.
42
43While globalization became increasingly unpopular in politics, entertainment in general became more international (a notorious example being the influence of the Chinese market over Hollywood and sports), something attributable to the rise of mobile technology, which allowed anyone to keep "in touch" anywhere, absorbing social lives to a degree unimaginable ten years earlier. This also allowed "selfies" and [[MemeticMutation "memes"]] to spread worldwide instantly. From a commercial point of view, online advertising encouraged [[DoingItForTheArt some authors to prioritize the work over the earnings]], and develop closer relationships with their fanbases. Content-wise, this also led to [[ProtectionFromEditors a substantial increase in creative freedom]] compared to the increased scrutiny in the mainstream, a development made visible by the explosion of streaming services, with series such as ''[[Series/HouseOfCardsUS House of Cards]]'', ''Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack'', ''Series/StrangerThings'' and ''Series/TheHandmaidsTale'' becoming huge hits. Meanwhile, Hollywood became dominated by superheroes, animated movies, continuations/reboots of popular franchises and action vehicles, with Creator/{{Disney}} gaining an unprecedented domination of the movie industry: out of the 10 highest grossing films of the decade, only ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2'' and ''Transformers: Age of Extinction'' were not made by the company.
44
45The gaming space saw an immense amount of growth this decade compared to prior ones; the first half of the decade saw the MobilePhoneGame genre absolutely explode into popularity, with ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'' , ''VideoGame/CandyCrushSaga'', and ''VideoGame/PuzzleAndDragons'' not only bursting into the mainstream, but also introducing the {{Freemium}} business model into gaming, leading to the rise of {{Microtransactions}} that would controversially make its way into PC and console gaming, namely with ''VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefrontII'' and ''VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfWar''. On the flip side, narrative-driven games became an even bigger commodity than they were in previous decade, namely with ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'' and ''VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt'', being standout examples of narrative-driven games receiving mainstream attention throughout the decade. The SoulslikeRPG genre also boomed in popularity thanks to the monumental release of ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsI'', as did the WideOpenSandbox genre thanks to ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' and ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity''. ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' both became ''bona fide'' cultural phenomenons in the first and second halves of the decade respectively, leading to the boom of the SurvivalSandbox and BattleRoyaleGame genres. In the console space, Sony managed to retake the lead from Microsoft with the Platform/PlayStation4 as a result of Microsoft fumbling the Platform/XboxOne and Sony's own growing lineup of first-party exclusives such as ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'', ''VideoGame/Uncharted4AThiefsEnd'', and ''[[VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4 God of War]]'', which has extended well beyond into TheNewTwenties. Meanwhile, Creator/{{Nintendo}} saw sales of the Platform/{{Wii}} plateau ''hard'' at the beginning of the decade, leading to the rushed launches of the Platform/Nintendo3DS and Platform/WiiU. While the 3DS ended up gaining a large amount of momentum overall, the Wii U never did and so Nintendo were saddled with their biggest commercial failure until they discontinued it in 2017...upon which they released the Platform/NintendoSwitch and did a complete 180º, with the Switch quickly becoming their biggest console since the Platform/NintendoDS, and quickly amassing a library of desirable exclusives like ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'', and ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', as well as being the first Nintendo console in a while to receive actual third-party support, with popular titles like ''[[VideoGame/Doom2016 Doom]]'' and ''VideoGame/DragonBallFighterZ'' making their way into the console early on. The Nintendo Switch's release and games also coincided with a general comeback of Japanese-developed games in the industry as a whole, with titles like ''VideoGame/Persona5'', ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterWorld'', and ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake Resident Evil 2]]'' all being critical and commercial hits and marking a general re-acceptance of Japanese-developed games. And last but certainly not least, the IndieGame market grew exponentially during this decade, which titles such as (but not limited to) ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'', ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys1'', ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', and ''VideoGame/StardewValley'' all making independent game development a much more viable market than it was before.
46
47The success of apps like Uber and Airbnb led to hopes about the rise of the "collaborative economy," while Amazon was thought to solve whatever problem consumers could have. By the second half of the decade however, technological optimism gave way to [[NewTechnologyIsEvil skepticism (in the best of cases)]], as tech giants were blamed for the tribulations of numerous trades, and social media was now seen as a soapbox of sorts for scurrilous information and social engineering. The fact that start-ups from Twitter to Airbnb have spent their entire existences in the red has only flared alarms further.
48
49For the first time since TheSixties and [[TheSeventies '70s]], the political and economic climate that began to take shape in 2014–2015 came to impact the socio-cultural lens in an inescapable fashion, especially compared to the "alternative" trends of the late 90s, 2000s and early 2010s (2010–2013), with an important focus on feminism and minorities. This caused a tremendous culture shock that extended even from early [[TheNewTwenties 2020s]], and there is a good chance that, as in the 60s, this trend will extend beyond the decade. While chronologically the 2010s ended on December 31, 2019, a number of events from 2014–2019 marked a turning point that changed the political landscape into a vastly different one compared to 2010–2013, beginning with: Putin's Russia arising as an "anti-centrist" force in 2013-14 with the Syrian and Ukrainian crises, the global rise of populism, ISIS terrorizing Europe in 2015 and the Islamic migrant crisis, all of which triggered the populist wave that elected Donald Trump and decided Brexit in 2015–16. Meanwhile, there was also the Hollywood #[=MeToo=] scandals, questioning of gender conventions, the dominance of sci-fi/superhero, musical, and animated films over the box-office with more serious productions turned to streaming, the rise of [[TrapMusic trap]] and non-English pop music along with the quick decline of EDM and electropop divas, the various internet controversies and their lasting impact on media discourse (and arguably online discourse in general), and the general politicization of media. It's no wonder why many people believe that early 2010s felt like a very different decade than anything to come.

328** In RealLife July 2010, many people fell for a hoax confusing this date with the film's 25th anniversary (July 3, 2010); see that year's section for details.
329** Towards the end of [[Film/BackToTheFuture1 the original movie]], Doc traveled to October 26, 2015, and after learning about the circumstances of Marty [=McFly=] Jr.'s arrest, travels back to 1985 to take Marty and Jennifer to 2015, kick-starting the second film.
330** The film infamously predicted that the Chicago Cubs would sweep the 2015 World Series. [[YankTheDogsChain Sadly, the Cubs were swept by the New York Mets in the National League Championship Series]]... [[HarsherInHindsight on October 21, 2015]]. However, [[EarnYourHappyEnding the Cubs would finally win the World Series]] the ''following'' year in 2016. [[https://twitter.com/BacktotheFuture/status/794184901255954432 The film series' Twitter account joked that the discrepancy of the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series a year early was due to the film's version of 2015 being in a universe where the 1994 baseball strike never occurred.]]

332* ''Film/{{Zola}}'' is set at the time in 2015 when the events chronicled in the Twitter post that inspired the movie occurred. Furthermore, the use of Backpage (which was shut down in 2018) is part of a major plot point, while Derrek is seen regularly viewing [[Website/{{Vine}} Vines]], the group vibes and lipsyncs to [[Music/{{Migos}} "Hannah Montana"]] in the car, and Stefani emphasizes Facebook and Tumblr as part of her social media presence rather than Snapchat and [=TikTok=] (not to mention not mentioning an [=OnlyFans=] at all, as it was not launched until 2016), all of which are clear signifiers of the mid-2010s.
