To me, the 2000s seemed like the 2010s to me. Cell phones were big then and now, the music between these two decades seems similar in a lot of ways so far.
I don't think the music is that similar. One difference is rock. You don't hear Evanescence or Creed type of songs on the radio anymore. Also the emo style is gone. I think My Chemical Romance does not exist anymore, sort of signaling the end of an era.
Things that define the 00s to me:
Ipods
9/11
Brands(Abercrombie/Hollister)
Emo
Southern Rap
Boot cut/flare jeans in beginning with skinny coming in mid-late 00s
Cartoons(Spongebob/Family Guy)
CSI
10s :
Tablets(Smartphones/Ipads)
EDM
Still to early to talk about 10s though imo.
The late 90s seemed to already start a change that signaled the 00s with boy bands and Britney Spears. Very different from the grunge that started in the beginning. 97/98-01 are like that transition period.

in some final things 90's and early 2000 I find recent, but it's a different era we are living era.
I would say about last eras were:
1990-2001: 1990s
2002-2007: the 2000s
2008-2011 / 2012-ish: time of transition
2012-now: the era in which we
The Bush presidency was a culmination of the free market/trickle down policies started by Reagan that climaxed with the Iraq War (which was purely for profit) and the 2008 crash.
Obama, while not exactly a sea change, at least represents some meager glimmer of resisting corporatist fascism, which will hopefully continue in the future.
The 90s didn't have the whole internet/decentralization of culture thing, but people were still pretty naive about it and the internet wasn't as pervasive as it is now that iPhones are ubiquitous.
I don't think it's really the kind of question that has a definite answer.
To me, the 90s and 2000s share a similar relationship to the 60s and 70s. In other words, they are often lumped together, with the latter being seen as a watered down version of the former. As well, trends and fashion changed a lot over the course of the two decades. The 50s and 80s had a fairly uniform culture that lasted the majority of the decade, while 1992 was very different from 1997, and so forth.
The 2010s do not feel much like the 2000s at all, with the exception of 08/09, and even 2009 is already starting to look fairly dated.

Overall I agree
2000s in terms of music, clothes didn't have much change from the late 1990s. 10s already feels more distinctive to me.

I saw an advertisement of 2008 (the year that you said is very modern) is completely outdated indescribably, the years 2010s did not begin until 2012, when it appeared the LED TVs, smarthpones worldwide,
Nobody can answer this question now because we haven't finished the 10s yet. In 2019 people may change their minds. I do still see similarities between 90s and 2000s especially the first half of the 2000s. Who knows by the end of this decade many changes might happen that will make 10s completely different from the 2000s. I already notice the difference from the early and mid 2000s and now.
What do you think would be the last year of the 2000s with a 90s influence?
I would say the last full year would be 2001. Early 2003 was the last time any LATE 90s influence lasted in my opinion. Late 2001-Early 2003 was nothing more than a transitional period from the 90s to the 2000s.
