To me, this decade.... does not seem to have an identity at all... Really

Having lived half of the 70´s, the 80´s, the 90´s and the 2000´s.... I have the feeling that that´s nothing in particular in this decade that defines it, be it about fashion or design or music or entertainment..... It´s so weird. I can easily pinpoint some highlights that defined those decades, some looks and sounds, those decades all seem very different and very recognizable, but this decade seems kind of confusing. Perhaps because popularity today, wherever its focus may be, vanishes vary fast in this age of always-available internet.

Only two things comes to my mind when thinking about the identity of this decade: the smartphone addiction and the progressive/political correctness madness dominating social media services. In the 2000´s social media was fun and entertaining, but in this decade.... everything is so boring, over-politicizing, extremely polarized, not fun and not productive at all. 

Still, those are not "things" that, in my view, would define the looks, the feels, the sounds and the identity of this decade.
