Subject: Name for the next decade
Written By: cometeer on 05/14/09 at 4:20 pm
I know this is probably a common subject- naming the next decade, but I'm new here so indulge me for a moment :)
I was thinking of calling it "The Twinkling Teens", in reference to "The Swinging Sixties". Now I know that "technically" the word "teen" refers to 13-19, but I think for the sake of convenience people generally go with whatever sounds best, so such particulars can change through popular use. I think it's an appropriate name because so much about this time reminds me of the sixties- particularly president Obama, who is so Kennedy-esque it hurts :) - along with fashion itself, which seems to be heading in a retro direction.
Thoughts?

Cars can fly next decade?
Anyways, I would keep it simple. The tens.

"The tens" is a good suggestion.
What about "X"? (10 in Roman numerals)

I would just call it the 10's, and maybe 2013-2019 would be called the teens.

2011 and 2012 can be called the tweens.

I think the term "Twinkling Teens" to be more of a nickname for the decade than anything else, as the term "teens" isn't strictly accurate. I think the best "official" name would be the twenty-tens- or the "2010's" as it will no doubt appear soon enough on this site.
Lets hope there's be some good music a-comin' in the next decade- the 00s was poor! :\'(

I think a good name for it would be, "WHO THE F*CK CARES?!?!?!"

Not sure what I will call it, but I have really strong feelings that the 2010s will kick ass.
