Audiences are invited to look back at The 2010s, a turbulent era marked by political and social upheaval, culminating in the single most dramatic year of the 21st century: 2020. It was a decade in which social media transformed society and streaming upended entertainment, resulting in genre-defying music and ushering in the era of "peak TV".

A deep dive into the major trends and innovations in popular music during the 2010s as streaming dominated, genres collapsed and music underwent a profound mood swing from EDM-infused pop to darker more intimate stylings by decade’s end.
A candid reflection not only on Barack Obama’s presidency, but also the seismic political shifts that took place in both the Republican and Democratic parties while he occupied the Oval Office.
