The decade that we currently live in, hasn't found it's identity yet but is looking to be the 90s 3.0 as the 2000s just seemed like a more commercial 90s with cool technology.
The 2010s is the 2nd decade of the 21st century, and will be the decade when gen y will probably find their place, and gen z will rise, while gen y has kids that will be the generation after z that no one can quite name. Baby Boomers will start to reach retirement age this decade which will probably put a massive strain on social services, and gen x will reach a more prominent political position in the world.
The economy may get worse, and we are working towards green energy and actual worrying about the health of our citizens so this decade will probably be more realistic about the health craze instead on the 2000s where it was all Atkins diets and such.
TV will probably get better as scripted shows are making a comeback, and reality is losing popularity. Cartoons also seem to be making a turn for better with things like Adventure Time and Beavis and Butthead slated to return in 2011 with new episodes. Music seems to be moving in the direction of electronic taking hip-hop's and modern rock's place pretty quickly and becoming more popular. Hip-Hop seems to be waining, and emo is dead/dying and scene is also. Indie rock also seems to be rising as a new trend.

The decade spanning from 2010-2019, though some cultural aspects began as early as 2008. Also currently known as the "10s" or the "twenty-tens".
The 2010s are when social media and smartphones became increasingly powerful and ubiquitous, revolutionizing the layperson's daily life. Social media went from being a fun distraction for some to being part of life and vital for big business, and smartphones went from being expensive niche business tools or novelties to being a powerful commodities with PC-level capacity. Tablets became popular with the iPad's release in 2010 and various other systems later on.
Political events include the Arab Spring & rise of ISIS, Occupy Wall Street, Obama, Trump, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Brexit, Kim Jong-un, the Venezuela crisis, Mugabe's fall and others. LGBT acceptance continued to rise in many places, and various countries legalized gay marriage.
Cultural trends/fads include Gangnam Style, world ending in 2012, Harlem Shake, Doge, Pokemon GO, Fidget Spinners, VR gear, and dabbing. Pop culture had things such as the global rise of dubstep, the Korean Wave reaching the West, the Weinstein Effect and lots of marketing to nostalgia. In many places, paid broadcast TV like cable declined in favor of on-demand streaming like Netflix & sites like YouTube. Free Wifi became increasingly common through the 10s, and in many places now there are hotspots everywhere. Cell phones overtook landline phones in the mid 10s.
The 2010s are the decade when the pound symbol came to be known as the hashtag by the general public.

The broke ass revival of the 1980s decade and the 2000s little bratty brother. A decade dominated by the toilet humor of Pop EDM, the obsessed smartphone users, the War On Terror Part Deuce, and Russia's flexing off its biceps again. People are cutting the cord but media networks remain in complete totalitarian control. Smartphones gain Skynet-like self awareness and adaptive intelligence, and will cause the the human race go extinct by 2020. It is the era Barack Obama of being POTUS; yet the end of the decade gave birth to a orange manbaby for POTUS, Donald Trump. China gave the world a one great big Christmas "present" in the very end of the decade: the SARS-2 coronavirus.
Marty McFly: Doc, are we back in the 1980s?
Doc Brown: No, this is the 2010s, Marty. People are just obsessed with the '80s electropop culture, but what did not comeback is the nostalgia for 1980s hard rock and glam metal. See that person walking right there? He is mindlessly staring down into a device known as a smartphone.
McFly: What does it do?
Doc: It let's Big Brother spy on your personal life with a software program known as an app. It also robs you of your sanity and life. Obsessed smartphone users are also dangerous drivers.
McFly: Back to the Past for me.
