contemporaneity
Existing at once
Contemporaneity is the quality of existing or occurring at the same time, or of belonging to the present era.
The word appears in academic and critical writing more than in everyday speech: The contemporaneity of these two movements suggests mutual influence.
It emphasizes simultaneity or present-moment relevance more formally than "being contemporary."
