What I mean by that is it is considered to be a part of two different decades - the first year of the 2010s and the last year of the first decade of the 21st century (because the 21st century officially began in the year 2001). I was wondering if anybody has ever realized this? Does anybody agree or disagree?

But is 2010 more like 2001 or 2000.  We should all type a 1000 word essay on this to see which one makes the least sense

I disagree.  I chose Gilbert Gottfried for the 5 square win!

It's definitely the very first year of the 2010s decade, a decade is 10 years right? 2000 was the last year of the 20th century but it is techinally still part of the 00's.

I guess technically, but I consider 2010 to be more 10s than 00s. There's actually been a surprisingly little amount of 00s holdover in 2010.

The idea that the year 2010 is part of the 00's decade(which is over now) MAKES NO SENSE WHAT SO EVER!!!!!!! It is really not that hard to understand.

^You got it wrong, the year 2000 may have been the last year of the 20th century but it is STILL THE 00's, having one year be part of two separate decades is illogical and nonsensical. A decade starts with the 0 year and ends with the 9 year.

My Dad told me that he had felt much the same way in 1910 back when he was 3.

Right,we're still in the 10's.

I'm not saying that it's part of the '00s decade, I'm just saying that I also think it's part of the first decade of the 21st century. If I were to say that the year 2000 were also part of the last decade of the 20th century, that doesn't mean I'm saying that it's part of the '90s, I'm just saying that it could be categorized as being the first year of the '00s and the last year of the last decade of the 20th century.

What I'm saying is basically this:

'00s = 2000-2009
First Decade of the 21st Century = 2001-2010

BOTH 2009 and 2010 sucked major ass! >:(

2011 SHOULD be the start of a new decade...at least for me!

2010 sucked even more.

With all the '00s hate, I may see the '00s as being a "short decade", much like the '70s were in relation to the '60s and '80s were (only about 6-7 years). Late 2007-2009 were really a bridge between "00s style" and what will dominate the first half of the '10s as it seems. 2000, while not really the '90s both on the calendar and economically, still had Clinton, the Internet was still seen as something pretty new, CDs were still dominant, and most pop culture was still '90s, though Survivor/Big Brother got big that year. I'd measure the popularity of regular DVDs as a barometer that it was the "00s", given you still had some VHS alongside DVDs in 2000 and 2001, but losing ground in 2007-now as Blu-Ray and streaming take over; but not like 2002-2006 when DVD was the predominant home video format. Flip cellphones are another barometer; it's definately not the '00s anymore when in 2010 flip phones are in a small section at the back of the phone shop; flip phones overtook standard "cordless-style with caller ID" cellphones of the '90s around 2001 and from mid-2007 onwards getting phased out in favor of smartphones. But there are certainly fewer "00s holdovers" in 2010 than there are "90s holdovers" in 2000. People want to try to make the '10s a go-go, upbeat, friendly time in comparison to the apathetic '00s.

I would say that 2006 seems like a totally different era than what we are here now.

What did 2006 have that 2010 doesn't have? ???

What did 2006 have that 2010 doesn't have? ???


Glam rap, emo, post-grunge, George W. Bush, holdover 90s fashion, baggy saggy clothes, grillz, rap as the dominant genre. Autotune wasn't around yet either.

2006 and 2010 are very different. Way more different than 1996 and 2000 were.

I think what he meant was that culture has changed alot in the last few years, like the recession, new president, euro-techno replacing urban/hip-hop, different fashion ect.
I definitely agree that it feels like a different era, anything past 2009 feels VERY VERY different from the 00's(esp '03 to '07).

I don't really think 2006 was that different from 2010. There are some fads from 2006 that survived until 2010, such as skin-tight clothing (for women, at least) and various elements of emo.

Fashion wise it wasn't that different and tighter clothes were getting popular at that time, though that's more popular now. Musically I think it's way different really though 2006 was the start of a trend towards more electronic sounding music (Rihanna and Timbaland were huge in advancing this) on the pop charts but the mainstream at that time was still mostly revolving around pure southern rap and r&b and the occasional post grunge song. We've now reached a point where on mainstream top 40 radio southern rap is essentially no long played period (huge contrast to 2006), and the only rap that is played is a very watered down variety.

I also think these upcoming years wil be entitled "the badass era",people showing off how big their cars are,driving fast,hot women,and just being a big shot,It's all about "me".

Yeah I was going to say that some of the fashion in 2010 has a few 00's holdovers, like a watered-down neon emo look. But alot of things from 2006 are gone with the wind, the hugest difference is the change in mainstream music, I don't see how anyone won't notice that.

Auto-tune began in 2006 with T-Pain.  There were a few artists such as Cher who used it as far back as the '90s but T-Pain really brought it into the mainstream.  People used to say in the late '00s that culture hadn't changed much.  You could dress the same in 2007 as you did in 2000 and not really look out of place...the same could not be said about 1990 fashion in 1997.  I have noticed that starting to change in the past couple of years.

I wonder if the recession had anything to do with the change.  The entire mood of this country changed in late 2008, which was the same time there started to be major changes in popular culture.

Wasn't that the 2003-early 2007 culture?

I think it was.

I'll now agree with you on that! Here's why....

My Parents Business Failed and are now flat-line broke!
Despite living on my own, I lost more money than gained (see above)!
My dog died this year!
I couldn't get what I wanted and missed-out on many things this year, like last year!

I usually think that a Christmas falling on a Saturday in a year would be good...I was wrong, I just had the worst year ever!

T-Pain actually started in 2005 with "I'm Sprung", other artists didn't really start copying the autotune until 2008 imo, I think Snoop's "Sensual Seduction" and then Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" came in early 2008 and before you know it everybody was using the autotune. Now in late 2010 T-Pain seems mostly irrelevant.
