I think they ended about 2010/2011.
Some reasons why:
*The decline of melismatic singers like Mariah, Leona Lewis and Lady Gaga
*The end of the Iraq War
*Singers like Kesha, La Roux and Cheryl Cole dominating pop
*The hipsterisation of rap
*The death of emo
*Movies like Kick-Ass and The Amazing Spiderman have a distinct style, and are filmed in a different way. Movies like Nick and Norah ('08 ) and Scott Pilgrim (2010) still have that 2007ish Judd Apatow type feel to them.
*Nobody cares about Ciara or 50 Cent anymore. In fact slow jams are totally dead, in 2006 they were still huge.
*The rise of the smart phone and tablets.
*Skinny jeans (probably a bit earlier than 2010 actually, but still)
*Skrillex and dubstep, and synth music being cool again.
I don't really consider 2013 an extension of the 00s. Though it's not hugely different. The 2010s aren't very original, the 90s were the last decade that was a huge contrast from the previous.
