2020s in culture (2097)

Culture in the 2020s was a continuation of the culture in the 2010s, although with some differences. Music largely veered into rap for much of the first half of the decade before beginning a culture war between pop (which itself had much rap influence) and rap. Pop music moved away from electronic sounds and became a mixture of acoustic rock style pop and synth-pop, while some pop musicians moved more towards a hip-hop style sound, known as "Pap". Popular musicians from the 2010s retained their popularity such as Taylor Swift, but newer artists, such as Olivia Rodrigo grew in popularity and came to become cultural icons and define the decade. Film franchises became increasingly popular, although by 2030, standalone movies grew in popularity.

2010s meme culture became mainstream, as did video games, with the latter being seen more as an art from than in previous years.
