Over the decade, a lot has changed within culture, technology, and other factors among our society, and this in fact has happened all over the world.

Not only have streaming and advertising music changed but international music has become a huge factor for the music industry where artists from different backgrounds have become more than welcomed across the world. For instance, billions of people have noticed and are enjoying the diversity of K-Pop known as Korean pop music. Artists today also have the choice of changing up their genera of music. Meaning if they are known for their pop they can also be known for their country music. Among this cross-over of genre artists like Taylor Swift have started off making country music to making pop music which is highly known and popular among the world. These transformations become a well-diverse music industry for the next generation.

Not only has fashion changed but so has typical standards for it. For example, Gender-Neutral Fashion. Unisex fashion had become such a huge topic today through the mainstreams of the media. Many fashion brands have taken part in changing the fashion industry by creating fashion lines of gender-less collections. Apart from these collections are all-time models and celebrities like singer Harry Styles. In many photo shoots, Harry styles have worn dresses and skirts. Not only are men changing fashion norms but so are women such as singer Rihanna. Rihanna is often viewed by the media wearing oversize T-shirts, baggy shorts, or pants. Fashion will continue to change including other factors that we enjoy today.

Pop Culture
A lot can change in 10 years and the music industry definitely has. Before "Tik Toc" became a worldwide mainstream for artists to advertise their music and for others to listen to there was a time when people all around the world would listen to artists through the use of their iPods and physical copies of albums. That's all changed in the past 10 years as streaming apps like Apple music, spotify, and Pandora among others dominate song streams. To advertise music many artists 10 years ago would promote their albums and singles with great efforts but today many artists don't. Many artists tend to release their albums and singles without press which was very uncommon 10 years ago.

As for teaching methods, they always change because there are easier and faster ways to answer solutions. Some teachers learn from others and help each other out to become better teachers. However back in 2012 nothing would change because the methods from back then were good enough for them. Now, society is more open-minded than ever. As well as we used to use more actual books and now we use more laptops, phones, tablets, etc... to learn.

Among the transformation of the fashion and music industry, over the past decade inventions have been made across the whole world where today we progress and function to better and advanced technology. Technology, along with teaching methods, and movies were rented from Red Box. People would actually have to get up and go do something other than being on their phones. People are more addicted to technology in 2022 than getting up and doing something productive.

If you wanted an accessory you had to get up and go get it. Now you can just order anything you want online. In 2012 there were methods that just started becoming popular now like medicine or religious dances. As well as creating better doorknobs and improvements on the camera. For example, ten years ago they didn’t have a “Ring” which is known as today the doorbell that has a camera and notifies people every time someone rings it.
Methods to create movies more realistic even changed over the ten years. The way we watch or find our movies have also improved as we went from DVD''s to Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, etc. Television has also changed over time. Today we have many shows that have inspired upcoming shows. For instance, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Although this show was created in the era of 'the 90s a new show called Bel-Air has been created and has risen as a popular show among the youth. another one of these shows is Sofia the First which has also changed within the past decade as far as animation-wise.
