What IS this decade called?

[Barb D]

Here we are, half way through the decade, and I still don't know what this decade is called. In 20 years, how will they refer to the music of this decade?

Edited to clarify: We had the eighties - "80's music", then the nineties "90's music", then the --- what? Has anybody heard anything in common use yet? The Oh's? "Oh's music?" The Zeros? "Zero's music?" The Oughts? "Ought's music?"

well there was the hair metal of the 80s, the grundge of the early ninties. Now we have so many different kinds of music I just dont' know. Theres alot of punk and metal still around, but there is pop and rap too...

I 've thought of this often too? The lost decade!

What did they call that first decade in 1900?


I think until the 10s...it just gets an "early" or the actual year as it's monniker (sp?).

Like early 1900s....covers roughly the first 20 years....and then it's the 20s, 30s, et cetera.

Also, turn of the century.


Speaking off the cuff, i really have no idea.

I've been calling it the "nothings" pronounced as "nut-ins". I think the best descriptive name would be the DoDs (decade of disasters). ~sigh~

Most people I know call them the "aughts," but really it will be the generations that come after that will decide for us.
