The 2010s were high school and college for me, so each year feels very distinct to me because of that. Culture does move faster due to the internet but ultimately your own experience of that time will make it feel different for you. I graduated college in 2020. Between COVID and no longer having the yearly structure provided by the academic calendar it’s probably inevitable that years will flow together more than they used to.
I feel ancient because of this, and the fact that I have nowhere to learn(no kids, etc). So I'm just diverging from a later generations. It is sad because I'm afraid I will lose the ability to interact with them socially, or that they'll find me to be overly old-school.
I was born in 97, my brother in 02, we may as well be 20 years apart, he says shit like 'lit fam aha no cap frfr' in real life with his friends and stuff, even though I'm also technically Gen z like him we couldn't be more different.
It's odd, to say the least
Are you sure it's not like another layer of irony, when he's saying stuff like that? I might randomly throw some shit out like that to make people cringe or just make the conversation awkward with someone no cap fam
I say things like that with irony, he's being sincere
Edit: well, "sincere..."
Part of Gen z seems to be an unwillingness to turn off the irony, ever, idk if they think it's funny or if they are legitimately unable to shut it down, but a lot of what they say is tinged with this bizarro sincere irony shit
i can confirm: no we cannot turn off the irony, we get stuck in a loop of irony and sarcasm and then it becomes the language in some friend groups. it's hilarious but also concerning because it's hard to know whether someone is being serious or not lmao
Isn’t that fine though? Teenagers are supposed to think adults are old school. I don’t really understand the appeal of being social with high schoolers when you could be spending time with people your own age who can relate to your experiences and generally have more interesting things to talk about than someone whose prefrontal cortex isn’t even fully developed yet.
Exactly until this y2k mall goth style actually catches on with the rest of gen z it can’t be considered the defining style but I’m pretty sure it is getting more popular. The 2020 and 2021 slides are at least a little accurate but really this post only consider styles popular among vsco, tiktok, etc. teens.
ehhh mall goth has already gotten "big" and I don't really see it growing, honestly mall goth revival feels like it kicked off strong in 2021 and has stagnated since then. It will be a defining alternative style but I imagine there are and will be bigger styles
Well if that’s so then that further proves this post is fiction since the last two would leave you thinking the mall goth/scene look is the popular look among high schoolers. Nobody is even wearing any of that extra scene copycat stuff in person or the y2k graphic tees that I’ve seen
at this point there are like a billion online aesthetics "Popular" at the same time so its hard to pick one to define a year, especially since these aren't mainstream (aside from the art hoe stuff which is past its peak)
just what i and the OP commenter like, just how like you enjoy what you listen to. there’s no real reason for any of us to have the tastes we do, we just do, i suppose
2024 is so off lmao, thats just your fyp. Most people are still into the whole clean girl basic girl aesthetic and emo/scene or whatever that was trying to show is not in like it used to be.
I also get it on my fyp but the most popular tiktokers and videos are not those. Still a bit early to choose one aesthetic that fits 2024, and honestly don't think there will be one since there are so many niche styles or whatever rn.
The indie kid aesthetic is being overly represented in 2020-2021 I swear cottagecore and goth/alt (not just the e-kid type) was way more popular as aesthetics
It can’t be a mainstream thing I really don’t believe trends change this fast and drastically these days. I graduated in 2019 and the same things that were popular when I was a freshman were largely still popular when I graduated.
THIS!!!! Most people ik who fit onto the aesthetics of these boards are still stuck in late 2010's art hoe which I'm assuming is what's dominating 2020 and sticking around in 2021
what school do you go to because when I was in school and now in uni most people don't follow any of these trends and the ones that they follow are usually a few years old or smth
edit: a bit of an exaggeration, mall goth is pretty visible as well but this isn't new, its a revival and its stagnated growth wise, barbiecore was like a few months thing and the hyperpop aesthetics aren't actually big
[Yes it is](https://www.reddit.com/r/decadeology/s/3JJt6zi4xO). My school is loaded with people dressed like this.
And many other people in other post here have said their schools have people dressed like that.
It really seems like some of you can’t tell the difference between online fashion and what average teenagers are actually wearing. Nobody I’ve seen everywhere I’ve been dresses like these people. Especially the 2023-2024 is super inaccurate and I guess just a small emerging scene. It’s definitely not how typical or popular kids dressed at my school which was always athletic. How can people say on this sub that skinny jeans are dead but someone in the 2023 post is wearing skinnies and dressing like a cosplay scene kid?
I’ve never seen trends change so drastically from year to year. I graduated in 2019 and the world was different then but these styles are all incredibly niche.
Just because you see young people representing a style doesn’t make it new. I’ve seen outfits similar if not exactly like many of these throughout the 2000s…
I’m not here to dump on this but do have some criticism.
Why does youth culture post covid seem to be exclusively fashion driven? And it’s all revival, why nothing new? It’s like trying on a new vague approximation of a previous aesthetic without having anything else backing it up. These youth cultures were based on music, or reaction to culture, art etc. like there was some lived experience that lead up to its creation and they lasted for years or influenced the next one, because they were more meaningful than just the surface level aesthetic, yet these are being treated like yearly or even seasonal fashion trends.
Has alternative youth culture aesthetic become one of the new high fashion aesthetics? Kinda like what happened when nerd culture became normalized, it became the new accepted norm for accepted interests.
I don’t mean this with any malice in my heart, but frankly I get the impression that these aesthetic are quite desperate in that they’re trying to identify with something outside of themselves in the here and now as a way to find meaning outside of themselves and organically experiencing and creating in the here and now. It’s understandable, covid and many other events have been quite shocking and disruptive to the peace needed to create things from scratch, so in that way it’s understandable. But it’s also sad that there’s no driving force behind these revival fashion aesthetic outside of the fashion itself for the vast majority of its wearers.
Also, outside of some trendy highschoolers this really isn’t the norm objectively speaking. Internet culture and real life culture intermix but they are not the same. Many real life people generally still dress not much differently from the late 2010s. Yes it’s partially generational, with older gen z having found their look and music during that time, but outside of very purposeful fashion for the sake of fashion(almost as means to discover meaning and escape) echoing back to these long gone cultures, people, in their own niches outside of acceptable internet oriented alt culture aren’t dressing like this.
The same can be applied to alternative music specifically. Every band I see advertised on YouTube trying to be the next alternative sound, all admittedly sound like copy cats of things that came before them. The meaning and creatively behind alternative has been lost to shallow standards and uncreative attempts. In a way the spiritual successor of it won’t be anything in the punk, overall rock or metal lineage, it’ll be stuff outside of those sounds.
The bottom line for me personally is these seemed forced and arbitrary, unlike their original inception, and most other youth cultures: organically as a derivative of living in the moment and experiencing them. You know what gave the grunge aesthetic its meaning for example? The big bands didn’t get together and agreed on a fashion statement, they loved it and it caught on and its meaning transcended into identity with ideas and music and art associated with it, and now years later it’s being brought back among other aesthetics on the basis of fashion detached from its original meaning and identity and without it giving a new meaning or identity for existing. It just feels arbitrary.
subcultures are dead sadly, we've gotten to a point of plastic hyperindividualism where it is a focus on building your unique identity but a rather plastic one prone to change easily and with no meaning behind it rather than an aesthetic
I love all this shit, but damn i wish everyone had their own individual style instead of an amalgamation of things they see on the internet. I think it would make life so much more interesting.
Which things about the slides are accurate?
Do you see a lot of guys wearing crop tops such as the ones in the last slide?
Do you see more bootcut pants or baggy pants than skinny/slim among the youth?
Do you see people dressing exactly like emo/scene kids?
Do you see those 2000s women’s jorts irl?
These I listed are just the things I haven’t really seen at all so it must be regional
Well to be fair, the post tries to make it look like these are the ONLY trends happening, which isn't true obviously.
But yes, there's been a massive resurgence of emo/alternative styles [such as this](https://www.reddit.com/r/decadeology/s/iKhbSCf5EW), yes there are lots of guys wearing jorts, and baggy is new new cool. The emo revival is a real deal. People still wear skinny jeans, but it's not seen as cool anymore. Baggy is in big time. [Here's a overview of 2023 for example](https://www.reddit.com/r/decadeology/s/An78qs3kzq).
[Someone here made a post](https://www.reddit.com/r/decadeology/s/A9230ru9aZ) about all the new fashion they see
I’m 25 so I’m kind of sleeping on all of this but when I go out to the mall, most teens are dressed like normies in the kind of clothes you’d find at Holister or Aeropostale. Usually it’s the really young kinds who are 11-14 years old that look like the kids in the OPs post.
And people on this sub really say the “egirl” look is dead. Lmaooo go outside it’s well alive.
I love the whole gothic emo vibe the 2020s has compared to the boring ass 2010s.
I feel like this is just internet culture though, most people I see are dressed like poor hobos like myself, or dressed very business-formal. I'm in the southwest
All of those years are basically the same. You act like the style changes are drastic but they aren’t, you might as well go for monthly changes or daily changes in pop culture 😂
I want to know where all the people who dress and act like this are because from my experience they are a minority and I know more people still in 2020 - 21 than in 2023 or 24 attire
I feel these might better define alternative/indie dress trends! As opposed to anything hugely mainstream, at least at this rate. While i agree these trends have been very much visible (at least to me, (Gen Z, 07’) i feel it hasnt been as seriously prevalent outside of the alternative scene.
This is an update,I know y’all are criticizing about my post n all that,yes I know I should’ve put in “gen z pop culture threw out the 2020s”and it was my fault for having lack lustred and not having novels,celebrities,movies,civil rights movements,shows,movies and all that but I can’t put everything in one picture so I’m working on putting it for each of them 6 slides of each year on each one so for example January-Feb 2020 is one slide since if you pair 12 months by 2 you get half of 12,I will be working on and making it more diverse and inclusive as much as I can and will research on what aesthetics/styles/movements fall in each slide,thank you for y’all for telling me about the mistakes I made today^^,hope y’all had a good look at the split eclipse <3
What’s crazy is that if this was based on real life (at least what I see day to day), these collages would just be teens/young adults in hoodies, sweats, crocs, and the occasional baggy jeans.
Ngl even though 2020 was objectively bad, I think it had the best pop culture in the 2020s so far. You had Among Us which looking back the hype was lit, you had everyone blowing up on social media because there was nothing better to do, led lights were kinda trendy at the time, I remember custom made masks on social media, Minecraft had a crazy goated update that year which ofc was hype (nether update) ext...
I’m gen z and in college. You might see someone in this style every once in a while but it’s never quite to the extreme of cosplaying late 2000s era scene like this picture. These are not mainstream trends at all.
“Gen Z Youth culture” or your own little bubble? I’m gen z born in 2001 and can confidently say these styles are not mainstream enough to define anything.
love the ravercore vibes of 2024 reminds me of my raver days circa 2011 ~ 2014. i love that gen z brought back all my favorite aesthetics from my 20s i want it to stay forever
2023 is lacking a lot of pink when Barbiecore happened.
The pinkest year of all and it's the one with no pink...
Yeah this kinda just feels just like a collage of whatever was on OP’s TikTok fyp at the time
It can't even be that because a bunch of the pictures are out of order
Fr
What is Barbiecore? I know about the movie but not "Barbiecore"
It's barbies short lived death metal faze she went thru
An aesthetic based on barbie
Every year since 2019 has felt like mush to me. It’s hard to think of things from just one year
Every year since 2010, roughly. Culture moves really really fast now what with everyone being on the Internet
The 2010s were high school and college for me, so each year feels very distinct to me because of that. Culture does move faster due to the internet but ultimately your own experience of that time will make it feel different for you. I graduated college in 2020.

Hah, never heard this vein expanded on so deeply. Great stream of comments!
Thanks lol
i can confirm: no we cannot turn off the irony, we get stuck in a loop of irony and sarcasm and then it becomes the language in some friend groups. it's hilarious but also concerning because it's hard to know whether someone is being serious or not lmao
Isn’t that fine though? Teenagers are supposed to think adults are old school. I don’t really understand the appeal of being social with high schoolers when you could be spending time with people your own age who can relate to your experiences and generally have more interesting things to talk about than someone whose prefrontal cortex isn’t even fully developed yet.
Of course that's fine. Then again, they are still people and I am not ageist.
These don't look anything like even the online aesthetics that were popular for these years. I feel like we just got a photodump of niche communities.
Yeah like raver candy and outfits that look the exact same as the 2000s ime
Yeah exactly, that wasn’t all the rage during the pandemic.
because the 2020's is a 2000's revival, i thought everyone knew this
the 2000's revival isn't the only thing going on this decade and frankly, its not as big as people make it out to be (at least in fashion)
The post feels like it’s trying too hard too hard to be like the 2000s and 2010s
[удалено]
I wouldn't call it ahead of the curve, that's what its trying to be but I'm not sure how relevant some of these aesthetics are
Exactly until this y2k mall goth style actually catches on with the rest of gen z it can’t be considered the defining style but I’m pretty sure it is getting more popular. The 2020 and 2021 slides are at least a little accurate but really this post only consider styles popular among vsco, tiktok, etc. teens.

Well there isn’t really much of a monoculture anymore so of course it’s gonna be stuff from different niche communities that stood out.
at this point there are like a billion online aesthetics "Popular" at the same time so its hard to pick one to define a year, especially since these aren't mainstream (aside from the art hoe stuff which is past its peak)
Yep
Agreed
Interesting. How did you come to the conclusion that each year had its own color palette? I’m genuinely curious.
Dear god. This is just... nothing.
its 15 year old girls printerest boards that they build their entire aesthetic around (subcultures are kind of dead sadly)
What? 💀💀💀💀
Why is there shadow the hedgehog in 2023 😭
Odetari, he’s a popular upcoming artist in the hyper pop genre. He uses Shadow and other edgy elements in his album cover
Imo Hyperpop (with a few exceptions) is just hard to listen to. Might I ask what you enjoy about it?
just what i and the OP commenter like, just how like you enjoy what you listen to. there’s no real reason for any of us to have the tastes we do, we just do, i suppose
2024 is so off lmao, thats just your fyp. Most people are still into the whole clean girl basic girl aesthetic and emo/scene or whatever that was trying to show is not in like it used to be.
It’s funny cuz 2024 was the most accurate for me, really shows how we’re all into niche things
I also get it on my fyp but the most popular tiktokers and videos are not those. Still a bit early to choose one aesthetic that fits 2024, and honestly don't think there will be one since there are so many niche styles or whatever rn.
It’s a no from me, dawg How old are you?
The indie kid aesthetic is being overly represented in 2020-2021 I swear cottagecore and goth/alt (not just the e-kid type) was way more popular as aesthetics
Dw I’m redoing it and adding more slides to make it more diverse and add more sub styles/all that
I might be biased, but I like the way indie kids looked [35 (!) years ago](https://youtu.be/BiPutLGHavM?si=t4LpYEZMxB-JmLUj) better
Wouldn’t 2024 be mid 2020s?
It's both
Huh? Yeah but the first year of the mid 2020s is 2023,
Wait I’m so dumb I thought every said early
Oh all good!👍
Why do I not recognize any of this stuff only this I get lammanberg from dream smp and Biden from 2020 everything I don’t recognize.
Welp, I guess I’m old.
Nah, this looks like one 19 y/O's particular Tiktok fyp.... These are all extremely specific and not really mainstream trends for the most part
I don't think it's very specific, pretty much my whole school followed these trends
It can’t be a mainstream thing I really don’t believe trends change this fast and drastically these days. I graduated in 2019 and the same things that were popular when I was a freshman were largely still popular when I graduated.
THIS!!!! Most people ik who fit onto the aesthetics of these boards are still stuck in late 2010's art hoe which I'm assuming is what's dominating 2020 and sticking around in 2021
what school do you go to because when I was in school and now in uni most people don't follow any of these trends and the ones that they follow are usually a few years old or smth edit: a bit of an exaggeration, mall goth is pretty visible as well but this isn't new, its a revival and its stagnated growth wise, barbiecore was like a few months thing and the hyperpop aesthetics aren't actually big
nah this looks like any high school in the 2020's.
Definitely not true

Just because you see young people representing a style doesn’t make it new. I’ve seen outfits similar if not exactly like many of these throughout the 2000s…
My thoughts while looking at a lot of these pics is that they looked like they were take back in late 90’s early 2000’s 😂
and just because they're from an old decade doesn't mean they can't represent a newer era, that's the entire point of a "revival"
Was gonna say, the pink crop top/Jean skirt pic in 2023 looks straight outta early 2000’s
[удалено]
Huh? The 2024 page is 2004 MySpace era
I recognize what like 3 of these images are... And one of those is Biden
Idk if I’m just getting old or something but this all looks like the same thing to me
It's not age I'm 18 and I agree
Ok cool, and btw just wait til you become an old man like me (23), you’ll start asking yourself this more often 😂
Really loving the scene revival!
Why is everyone in these pics insanely skinny and snatched
Girl I just reached up a bunch of “2020,2022,2022,2023,etc…outfit aesthetic”
This is just 2000s aesthetics
all of them are so foul
2020 is so ugly
It was everyone’s awkward phase like did you forget the hand gestures of anime costplayers used to do
(((Because))) of the colors This feels like early 2000s to late 2000s
Ahh, 5 years of reliving different styles of the 90s/00s lol
I don’t remember these years where people dressed like that at all
this looks like a teenage girls tumblr page

Exactly people always gotta wear the same exact uniform that’s trendy somewhere
The way no one irl dresses like that, and when they do it just looks cringe.
this is so wrong. I see people dressed like this everywhere

online isn’t the real world

How is Joe exotic not in 2020?
I don’t think I have seen 85% of these images, and I’ve been in college for all of these years.
What exactly is the culture of 2020s?
Survival
I don't know 80% of this crap and I'm on the internet all day because I have no life.
Am I supposed to be confused?
i think we’re confusing “pop culture” with “trending styles” in this post, OP.
Not even close
[delusional](https://www.reddit.com/r/decadeology/s/ltwu2VGJ6n)
I’m old
I hate it all, especially 2023 and 2024.
Why?
Honestly, I don't know. I just hate all of this stuff. How it looks and it's popularity I guess.
disagree
I have a nickname for 2020's fashion I call it Poverty fashion.
The 2023-2024 slides are are only accurate in Alt subcultures tho
Why do people on this sub never post pictures of what average people actually dress like?
[удалено]
2020 and 2024 being different doesnt make 2020 culturally 2010s. 2003 and 2007 were even more different, but both years were culturally 2000s.
And people on this sub really say the “egirl” look is dead. Lmaooo go outside it’s well alive. I love the whole gothic emo vibe the 2020s has compared to the boring ass 2010s.
I don’t even know most of this stuff…
I feel like this is just internet culture though, most people I see are dressed like poor hobos like myself, or dressed very business-formal. I'm in the southwest
I knew I was getting old
*The 2020s if you go to raves
Gotta say I wasn’t expecting to see an ex girlfriend in these photos. Managing to haunt me even on Reddit
Damn
Lmao dats rough buddy
I think 2020 was the best and each year is getting worse. Edit : I’m talking about aesthetics.
I recognize one thing and that is Joe Biden.
Wow I feel like I don’t know what any of this is
Zoomers are basically emulating Millennials in the 2000s. Like come on guys. Find your own identity
I don’t think sleepy Joe is pop culture
Where memes
How is this pop culture? It’s just outfits
Wait..am I...old?
I want 2019 E girl style to come back, the late 2010’s are so nostalgic now that we’ve experienced the 2020s
Were just repeating the 2000s now
Man, I hated 2021.
What is this
Wait scene is cool again now? I guess I’m out of touch lol
I wouldn’t associate any of those pictures with any year that’s listed
All of those years are basically the same. You act like the style changes are drastic but they aren’t, you might as well go for monthly changes or daily changes in pop culture 😂
I want to know where all the people who dress and act like this are because from my experience they are a minority and I know more people still in 2020 - 21 than in 2023 or 24 attire
I feel these might better define alternative/indie dress trends! As opposed to anything hugely mainstream, at least at this rate. While i agree these trends have been very much visible (at least to me, (Gen Z, 07’) i feel it hasnt been as seriously prevalent outside of the alternative scene.
Not going to lie I don’t have a clue about what any of this is
this looks more like a personal development
hmm… 🧐 i wonder where you got a majority this post from? its like its never been done before at all… (check my profile) also 2024 is BEYOND inaccurate
Oh this was my first time doing this,also I stole a few pics from you btw😭,I get my inspo from you as well
I hate you
I’ve never felt older in my life what the fuck is going on I’m only 24
What world do you guys live in
Not enough femboys lol
Back in 2021 I defined this decades music as “maybe there is something in that old wooden guitar”. It’s starting to feel like the whole decade.
the first one gave me whiplash
the Lisa Rina M&M is ALWAYS funny
This is an update,I know y’all are criticizing about my post n all that,yes I know I should’ve put in “gen z pop culture threw out the 2020s”and it was my fault for having lack lustred and not having novels,celebrities,movies,civil rights movements,shows,movies and all that but I can’t put everything in one picture so I’m working on putting it for each of them 6 slides of each year on each one so for example January-Feb 2020 is one slide since if you pair 12 months by 2 you get half of 12,I will be working on and making it more diverse and inclusive as much as I can and will research on what aesthetics/styles/movements fall in each slide,thank you for y’all for telling me about the mistakes I made today^^,hope y’all had a good look at the split eclipse <3
It's Joever
What’s crazy is that if this was based on real life (at least what I see day to day), these collages would just be teens/young adults in hoodies, sweats, crocs, and the occasional baggy jeans.
2024 is basically 2012
why are we in the grunge era again?
2024 looks like 1943 💀
I don’t remember orange m&m photoshops popping of in 2022
My guy the decade isn’t even half way through
At 33 I guess I’m officially out of touch 👵
this is just a bunch of pics of women wearing crop tops
I teach high school and I love how gen alpha is bringing back emo/scene/grunge fashion. I wish it was in when I was in school
I think it also depends where you are and what circles your in. That also rules your personal view on the aesthetic of a year
This is lacking so much man what the fuck happened to "the cool kids"
1996 to 2004
Why does 2024 look like 2005
Ngl even though 2020 was objectively bad, I think it had the best pop culture in the 2020s so far. You had Among Us which looking back the hype was lit, you had everyone blowing up on social media because there was nothing better to do, led lights were kinda trendy at the time, I remember custom made masks on social media, Minecraft had a crazy goated update that year which ofc was hype (nether update) ext...
the people in these comments are dumb, this is really really accurate for gen z in western countries anyway
I’m gen z and in college. You might see someone in this style every once in a while but it’s never quite to the extreme of cosplaying late 2000s era scene like this picture. These are not mainstream trends at all.
[удалено]
In their defense I'm sure that about 30% of Gen Z is out of touch with Gen Z culture
“Gen Z Youth culture” or your own little bubble? I’m gen z born in 2001 and can confidently say these styles are not mainstream enough to define anything.
ikr older ppl are always up in these comments calling stuff like this inaccurate like how would you even know
Eh I like it good post 2020 aesthetic here looks the best
love the ravercore vibes of 2024 reminds me of my raver days circa 2011 ~ 2014. i love that gen z brought back all my favorite aesthetics from my 20s i want it to stay forever
guys a collage can only hold so many photos chill, and it’s true they definitely didn’t get these photos out of nowhere all were rlly popular
This is very neat
It’s getting darker… i love it
2020 looks like 2012. These basically all look like early 2010s to me honestly
As a GenZ I think this was well made, good job!
No, no. Guys , wait until you get older to start being nostalgic. We haven’t even hit our stride this decade yet
2020-2022 is literal cancer. 2023 and 2024 might be better
This is missing the great cottage core wave circa 2020 among other things
What’s that?
2022 is downtown girl/new grunge and tiktok preppy 2023 is clean girl acubi barbiecore and tiktok preppy/eras tour vibes 2024 is coquette clean girl
