Y2K is such a vibe

I feel like the 2010s are the first decade in 100 years that doesn't have a recognizable aesthetic or vibe.
Every decade since the Roaring Twenties had its own recognizable culture, visual aesthetic, music and so on. In the 2010s, the Internet allowed us to become cultural omnivores. It's good that everybody had access to whatever niche subculture they enjoy but it also meant that there was no more monoculture that we all shared.
I remember like 10 years ago people saying they struggled to think of aesthetics for the 2000's, and now people are beginning to notice them and even it's shifts. I'm very curious to see what people will be nostalgic for with the 2010's aesthetic wise. I have memories of how people would dress in high school, but I wonder what will come back.
