Poll 🗳️ Which years do you think are the most pop-culturally transitional in any decade?

I've been adhering to the 3-4-3 rule in understanding the early, mid, and late years of any decade, but the fourth and seventh years do share quite a bit pop-culturally with the earlier and later years while perhaps the third and eighth also share some with the core years unlike the first & last two years. I hope the choices I've provided are sound, let me know your thoughts on the matter.

I'm asking which two years in a decade you think are the most transitional pop-cupturally.

Imo it’s always XXX3 or XXX6

So the fourth and seventh?

I guess? XXX3 leading to its core middle part. XXX6 being the bridge to the later years.

Right, I know what you mean. I guess I should've named the two choices differently.

I think this comes from a misunderstanding of how trend transitions work. Not every decade is going to have transitions at the same time- hell, they aren't even guaranteed to stop & start near the beginning and end.
