2023
A decade marked by a surge in pop culture trends like the dominance of superhero movies, the rise of social media, viral challenges like the Ice Bucket Challenge, the explosion of music streaming services, the popularity of dance-pop and electronic music, and the cultural impact of shows like "Game of Thrones" and the Marvel Cinematic Universe
The 2010s were defined by hipster fashion, athleisure, a revival of austerity-era period pieces and alternative fashions, swag-inspired outfits, 1980s-style neon streetwear and unisex 1990s-style elements influenced by grunge and skater fashions
The decade saw the domination of genres such as pop, hip-hop, and electronic dance music (EDM), while independent artists gained unprecedented visibility through online platforms.
