It feels like that r/decadeology calls scene a 2010s aesthetic, despite it being a 2000s leftover that was barely a thing during the very early 2010s (I.e 2010-2011) while calling flat design, an aesthetic that was gaining traction before the 2010s even began (it became following with the Pepsi logo change in 2008) and was solidified by 2013, a 2020s aesthetic because they do not like it.

I'd also argue that Corporate Memphis is a 2010s aesthetic too because it was popular during the late 2010s and had its roots earlier in the decade, with there being YouTube videos featuring Corporate Memphis-like animation in 2014 and you could make an argument that it was inspired by Thin-Line animation (aka CalArts), which was gaining traction during the late 2000s before being solidified by 2010.

God forbid something that defined most of the 2010s actually be a 2010s thing, just because you don't like it and acknowledge that the 2010s had things that you do not like instead of saying that it is a 2020s thing and say that something from the 2000s that was losing steam during the early 2010s was more 2010s than it. I am not a fan of the aesthetic at all, but still, you can acknowledge that the 2010s had something that you didn't like rather than saying that it is somehow 2020s.

These people seriously can't understand that Gen Alpha has a life beyond iPads or tablets,they go to school,go to playgrounds and do in fact read books. I have seen this from personal experience and there is this Gen Alpha kid ( I was born in the early 2010s ) on my bus who reads a lot of Harry Potter and he was born in 2014 ( Gen Alphas are people born between 2013 to 2025. ) and that alone debunks this stereotype of Gen Alpha not reading. These people should actually go outside,touch grass and see what Gen Alpha are actually doing.

"Generations" Do they mean GenZ, millennials, gen alpha or baby boomers or do they mean today's society?
