Subject: Some people believe 2011 is the beginning of the next decade
Written By: Patrick on 01/01/10 at 11:53 am
Are you one of those people? People believe there was no year zero. Although there's no proof that this year exists or not. I still think it's new decade. What do you think? It doesn't sound right to include 10 in the 00s decade.

Well it usually takes 2-3 years for pop culture and the political climate to develop, but that's another story.
If we're talking literal calendar ways though (and not the feeling) I'd just include it all. You can't count that year Zero stuff, I mean chances are we're off one way or the other anyway. I bet their timekeeping back then wasn't that accurate. ;D

No because if you're talking about the "2010s" you are talking about the 10 year period between 2010-2019, but if you're talking about the "202nd decade" then that would be 2011-2020. It's like the difference between "1900s" (1900-1999) and "20th century" (1901-2000).

It doesn't matter to me since it doesn't affect me.
In one way, yes. In another way, I just wanted the damn decade to end since it gave me nothing but grief. 8-P

I conform to most people. So 2010 is the first year of the decade for me. :)
On a completely different note, will the site retain its name?

It takes about a year or two to get settled into a decade culture but, technically a decade is a decade.

no, absolutely not. well, if you're talking about the 21st century's second decade, yes, but in terms of pop culture, which this site is all about, the last decade ended in 2009 and we are now in a new decade that will last through the end of 2019. culturally, however, i do not notice much of a difference between 2010, it's still basically a (late) 00s feeling.

I noticed that some people talk about how people celebrated the new millenium a year earlier than when it really started (which they say is 2001). But even if everyone's wrong, it's just easier to celebrate the first year of a decade by what sounds better. Saying that the 1990s ended with the year 2000 sounds weird and makes things more complicated to explain.
