Antipolitics spans the 2010s and hyperpolitics emerges in its final years.

Evidence

Antipolitics and hyperpolitics develop, in turn, out of a conjuncture that is repoliticized but continues to be marked by the erosion—or even accelerated disintegration—of social bonds. The antipolitical phase begins in the wake of the Great Financial Crisis, as repoliticization starts to take hold of certain middle-class layers. Its locus classicus is the 2010s. Equal parts intensification of this trend and reaction to it, the advent of hyperpolitics can be dated to the final years of the decade. — Anton Jäger, Hyperpolitics, 46
