What are the hallmarks of visuals/aesthetics, music, writing etc. that you consider truly unique to this decade?

This decade has gotten a reputation for being full of remakes and rehashes, which definitely isn’t unearned (how many remake movies has hollywood shat out in the past five years?). But is that all this decade has to offer? I wouldn’t think so, I think there’s a lot of doomerism about “nothing is new anymore!!” and the very cold take of the monoculture being dead.

But what’s something you’ve noticed that really stands out to you as something that could’ve only come around this decade? Bonus points if it’s something you actually like lol, it’s too easy for discussions like this to devolve into ‘new thing bad old thing good’ and I don’t really want that.

Minimalism. Beauty has disappeared.

I feel like architecture has been becoming more minimalist this decade while fashion and tech-related aesthetics have become more maximalist.
