I have a trailing sense of nostalgia as I age. When I was in my teens, the 90s felt like a distinct time period but the 00s didn't. In the late 00s and early 10s I had a hard 90s nostalgia phase. As I get older I have that same feeling for the later decades. 00s had a vibe. 10s definitely had a vibe. I am beginning to even think wistfully about the late 10s. 2018 had a vibe for sure.
Also a lot of the ways we define aesthetics of a decade is by consumer products, especially once you get into the 80s, 90s, and beyond. It's also how we define nostalgia. You don't just remember being a kid, you remember the old brands and the things those brands sold. That's kind of a weird way to define the march of history and culture.
