Does it have an identity? I would say not. The 2010s are just a continuation of 2006 with the Youtube generation and viral videos and a bunch of "famous" people I couldn't care less about. The 2010s is the teenie pop generation with Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus leading the pack. I think this is why so many people have been having bouts of nostalgia since Youtube came around in 2006 where you can watch old music videos, commercials, video games and whatever else you want. The 2010s is just a period of void where people are turning back for pop culture rather than admiring the present or looking forward to the future. I think video games are the only media where the future is still hopeful and exciting. Other than that, who cares about some new tv show?
Too soon to say. A decade's shape is usually seen most clearly after a 20 year nostalgia cycle. Long enough for those who have lived through it to determine what is most significantly remembered, and laugh at what they thought was important, and reflect on the changes in themselves and pop-culture
For example, right here on Retrojunk, discussions on Voltron, Atari,TMNT, and He-man 80's
are gradually giving way to discussion about the "olden days" of dial up AOL.Power Rangers, Dragon Ball, and Pokemon 90's
Trying to determine the identity of a decade while youre living it is like trying to read a map while its taped on your face.
you need a bit of distance
And what does Kim Kardashian do? Is she a supermodel? She's a supertramp, if anything. :lol:
Seriously, my 2010's knowledge is rusty.

She's a first class whore married to a second class Douche. I don't know who's worst, Kim or the idiots that make her famous.
Show me a news report about someone doing something heroic, then I'll start caring.
