I was having a conversation with a friend the other day about how uninteresting 00-2010 will have been as a decade. The 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s all had their own style, their own movements, their own music. You can hear a song and tell "oh this is so 90s", or "this is so 70s", just by the chords being used, the sounds of the instruments... You can do the same looking at how people were dressed, or how they talked.
Sure, maybe it's just harder to tell because we're still living in it, but it seems to me like this last decade has been nothing but uninspired rehash of previous decades. No huge generation gaps, major social movements, no definitive fashions. :conf:
Maybe I'm just getting old? :nervous:

It was the decade of the emos.

I disagree. It's been nothing but interesting. A lot of crappy things have happened, yes, but there hasn't been a shortage of things happening around the world that has made it interesting. 10 years is a long time to look back and think so you're obviously not going to remember everything. People talk more sloppy now, use more abbreviations than actually saying the entire word, so many fashion tweaks here and there happened.
People are going to remember this decade as the decade that had the Y2K scares and the people still kookoo after 12:00am 2000, 9/11 happened, execution of Saddam Hussein, now we have the Mumbai attacks. Keffiyehs, uggs and mini skirts, huge belts over shirts, dresses, sweaters. Crappy rap music, Obama, no more Bush, Youtube, Ressision, MTV stops playing music, Kanye's outbursts.
See..stuff happened.

Technology boosts, gas and oil shenanigans, high speed internet, SARS, some of the worst natural disasters have happened, rise and fall of the dollar, global warming peeks, Wikipedia, Janet Jackson's titty incident at the Super Bowl, writers strike. Don't tell me no one was deeply affected by that:p
It really does go on.
