so now that the decade has only 2 years left to prove itself, what do you think of the 2010s so far?

does this bitch have anything left to surprise us with? what will this piece of poo poo decade go down in history as? what will we remember, and will this decade influence the coming times like previous decades are remembered as doing?

if you ask me, i don't think there's anything special about the 2010-2020 period as much as there's anything special about the 2008-2018 period. both of them are decades all the same.

2000's-2010's don't really feel as strictly defined as like the 1970's or 80's, but they are when you think about it. Who the gently caress knows.

all decades since the 60s start in the 2nd year. 62-71, 72-81, 92-2001(like 3 months early), 2002-2011. We've got four more years left of this bitch

2000 -2009 brought us apatow movies, step bros, and tropic thunder.

nah 2000-10 was very defined, especially such a drastic 180 turn away from the 90s which feels pretty well defined so that contrast rather sticks out.

patriot act and gross violations of human rights and gladly giving away all privacy, PMC poo poo, numetal as an outlet for impotent feeling-helpless aggressive, electronic-pop n dubstep and stuff, lovely comedies churned out by the dozens, rise in always-online connectivity with phones and social media relations

probably 10-20 is murkier as its not really a lot different than 00-10, except going even more in the corpo-fascist direction

Dont know about rest of world but as far as America goes: Obama, Trump, Black Lives Matter, the alt-right, expansion of LGBT rights. Outside of politics, there's entertainment poo poo like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which i think will define this decade since its popularity will probably recede in the 2020s, and all the lovely remakes and reboots.

I think it would help if we knew what defined the 2000-2010 decade. I've noticed people just sort of lump the 2000s and 2010s together as just "the 2000s".

The 2000s are going to be defined as the transition from a powerful late-20th-century America to a less powerful but still significant nation to, circa 2050, a protectorate of the Undying Empire of Guatemala.

Same but I’ve been drunk. Feel like I went to the store to get a case of beer and now Obama’s isn’t president and trump got elected and gave me a nice tax cut.

well one thing is that american presidents are so culturally symbolic, it feels like the culture moves with them; and people think about eras in these terms. but it's also a chicken and egg situation where you don't know which one comes first.

when i think of 2000s music i think of creed and nickelback, vaguely christian, inspirational, conservative post-9/11 stuff; i also think of bush. then obama in 2008 and lady gaga gets really popular circa 2009-2010. rihanna and beyonce, etc.

now we're stuck with trump and taylor swift for awhile.

Either the beginning of the end for North American stability/prosperity, or "the bottom of the barrel but only goes up from here." Ditto for environmental issues.

(Anyone else spent most of the decade between jobs/unemployed? That situation is where a 2006 English degree and a few years of an electrical apprenticeship got me so in November I went to truck driving school in order to have more prospects, or at least more steady work.)
