2005 was really dull. 1995 seems much better in retrospect.

What are your thoughts on 2015?

2015 was an alright year for me. I rated it 7.5/10. I thought it was a bit bland in pop culturally, 2016 however has been a very great year for me so far. I am very happy where my life is right now.

Still not better than 2014 though. But it was worlds better than 2013. :)

Not going into details, but some may recall, last year contained one of the happiest days of my life.

Miley Cyrus is still a disaster today. She's one of the things who ruined this decade for me.

Post-2003 culture is like sometime took a big wrecking ball to society and decided to call mess "culture."

Do you just find everything post-2003 to be terrible? I mean, didn't you say that you liked kids cartoons during the early 2000s?

No, I actually like stuff some post-2003 like a few TV shows and one or two movies or albums here and there. A bit, yeah. In the early 00's the cartoons I really liked were shows like Dexter's and Johnny Bravo 'cause they were rad. Robot Jones and Invader Zim are also good ones. The era also had great adult cartoons like The Undergrads, Clone High, Mission Hill and Home Movies.

Miley Cyrus isn't even hot.

Compared to the 5th year like 1995 and 2005 it was VERY BLAND compared to upwswing feels of 2014.


2014 was the official start of the mid '10s. I think that is why it had upswing feels to it for you.

2014 was the first full year of mid 10's culture, but late 2012-mid 2013 was the transition into it IMO, with mid 10's culture being in full effect by late 2013.

What year do you think we're heading for in the 2020's?


I can imagine a lot of 20's culture starting around 2018. Although I'm curious on if there will be an era in between the '10s and '20s that bridges them together. Or will we have it where a bunch of big events occur that instantly moves us from the 10's culture to the 20's culture without there being a gradual transition (we're getting a new president soon as I can already imagine the changes in culture).

Wrong.

1998-2002 is the very early 00s, you should know this by now. You keep saying things that contradict the facts and I don't like that. There is the spirit of 1998 (1998-2002) and the spirit of 2004 (2003-2011). Spirit of '11 is just the child of the spirit of 2004 and it will take us into the spirit of '20 which will take us to the spirit of '29.

I can imagine a lot of 20's culture starting around 2018. Although I'm curious on if there will be an era in between the '10s and '20s that bridges them together. Or will we have it where a bunch of big events occur that instantly moves us from the 10's culture to the 20's culture with there being a gradual transition (we're getting a new president soon as I can already imagine the changes in culture).


I think it's going to be slow. I know everyone here hates it, but I don't see 2010s culture showing any signs of waning out. Actually, as the years go on, things become more and more stereotypically 2010s.  ;D

But either way, it's hard to predict the future.


Yeah, that seems fair. I wonder what the future holds... I sure hope something big and cool comes in the 2020's and makes things more interesting.

I'm sure he has re-examined the evidence and agrees with my spirit of 1998 analysis. If you tweak your chart then it'll be true to what the Early 90s Guy says.

The spirit of 2004 lasted until 2011, though. I don't think there's a spirit of 2008 now, is there?

There's a Spirit of '09.  >:(

The last 6 months of 2009 were the most 2010s ever. Ever since then we've been moving away from 2009 and we're all about getting to 2020 (or whenever Google releases their stupid cars).

So... Spirit of 2008?

Spirit of 2008 (2008-present)??

I dunno. Like that album says, 2004 to infinity.

I've always heard Early90sGuy say the 90s were all about getting to the spirit of 1999. Sorry Jordan, I'm not sure I've ever seen him agree with your theory, except maybe once when he said 2002-2004 has more in common with 1999-2001 than it does with 2008-2010 (which is kind of stating the obvious). Either way, it contradicts how God intended everything to be in three year boxes. 1998-2002 is 5 years, that's not even divisible by 3.

You can say what you want but no, the spirit of 1998 was strong until 2003. In 2003, we were getting out of our spirit of 1998 chairs and moving towards our spirit of 2004 chairs. It's like a chair on two ends, 2003. The spirit of 2004 is still going on strong today. Can't say the same about the spirit of 1998 unless I see some chain wallets and frosted tips again.  Jesus, himself, would probably agree and make an exception for a 5 year box.


That album is a lie!  >:(


Is not! How is it a lie!?

#SecretFridays I will like to make a confession. I actually am still sitting on the computer chair I bought in 2004. ;D

But I have a study chair as well that contains the Spirit of 2015.

No. Your computer chair came first and the fact that you still use it proves the spirit of 2004 is still alive and well.

IMO, late 2012-mid 2013 and late 2013-mid 2014 were both the transition into it. Maybe I'm a bit biased because I was transitioning from high school to college during that time! ;D

2016 and beyond is the spirit of 5000000000 when the earth is destroyed haha.

I agree. When do you think the Core 10's began?


I would say late 2012 (only) was the transition, around the time of the 2012 election. I can't really pinpoint why other than that election though.  ;D (maybe the launch of the Wii U?).

Core 2010s feel like they started very early, this decade has such a strong identity unlike the 2000s. I would say late 2011 is when the core 10s started, with the Occupy movement, smartphones becoming more common than dumbphones, and most 2000s influences being completely dead.


2016 and beyond is the spirit of 5000000000 when the earth is destroyed haha.


We are still sitting on our Spirit of 8000 BC rocks imo. Our genes have not changed much since then.

The changes that took place between 10000 and 6000 BC feel so much bigger than the differences between 2000 BC and 2000 AD. Humanity has really stagnated.

Miley Cyrus isn't even hot.

How do you know?

What year do you think we're heading for in the 2020's?


I have no idea, though I feel compelled to say that we'll be headed towards 2032 at the moment.

Here's the pattern I go by:

The 1980s (Start date: 1978/End date: 1990) - 12 years
The 1990s (Began in 1990/ Ended in: 1999) - 9 years
The 2000s (First year: 1999/ Last year: 2011) - 12 years
The 2010s (Started in: 2011/ Due to end in: 2020) - 9 years

2015 was bland aside from the peak of my creativity in my perspective. You have to be in school or the internet to have fun these days. That's how its been since 2007 if you don't live in the right neighborhood.

How do you know?


she smokes cigarettes.

she smokes cigarettes.
You have been close to her to smell?

I agree. When do you think the Core 10's began?

The core 10s probably started in late 2013, but the mid 10s; 2014.

The core 10s probably started in late 2013, but the mid 10s; 2014.


Thats interesting, though I was thinking more around more around 2013, when a lot historical moments occurred like the Boston Marathon Bombings, The Edward Snowden Leaks, & the Controversial State of Florida v. George Zimmerman decision, this all represents the start of the core 10's IMO.

But I agree that 2014 (particularly Mid 2014) was probably when Mid 10's Culture began.

Perhaps the late 90s?  ;D

It was in that millennium that we domesticated a lot of animals and also went urban, I think writing was also invented at that time. I feel like we've been living in 6000 BC ever since, not much progress has happened.

I agree. 6000 BC is when we switched to modern rocks, instead of just regular rocks.

There have been no cultural changes since 6000 BC.

Yes.

I have no idea why it is like that, but I know every subera is a period of three years. One or two crazes usually occur at the start of every subera. So, I go from there.

True. 2016 rocks are much more trashy.


2016 rocks don't make as many splashes in the water like 6000 BC rocks did.

I love the 500000000 BC Paleozoic rocks. They rock the most!!

That's a pretty interesting theory.

2016 rocks are basically useless. Real men used 6000 BC rocks.

This is true. I'd say 49387403257207 BC is when rocks began to really get good but it wasn't until 485934703275 BC that the changes truly took effect.

I can imagine a lot of 20's culture starting around 2018. Although I'm curious on if there will be an era in between the '10s and '20s that bridges them together. Or will we have it where a bunch of big events occur that instantly moves us from the 10's culture to the 20's culture without there being a gradual transition (we're getting a new president soon as I can already imagine the changes in culture).


2017-2020 will be that bridge.

The next President, be it Trump or Hillary will only serve one term (mark my words on that).  There will be a noticeable shift around 2020 or 2021.  2016 is the last year of the Obama era and I think after this year we will start moving away from the zeitgeist that defined 2009-Present.  Of course there are differences between the early '10s and the core '10s but there are also a lot of similarities.  The core '10s have been a more watered down, whitewashed version of what was introduced in the early '10s.

That seems true. Although, I think it's obvious that Clinton or Trump's presidencies would represent the late 2010s/early 2020s.

You have been close to her to smell?


I've seen her smoke them on TV.

I've seen her smoke them on TV.

So 2009-2016 can be seen as the 2010s era. By 2017 we'll still have 2010's culture, but we'll also start seeing some changes. And if Trump/Hilary on go for 1 term than the the culture may end up changing again when the next president comes.

So assuming that the next presidents actually end up doing 1 term then we can expect quite a lot of changes during the next 10 years. 2017-2021 would be the era of the next president and also tons of other things that'll transition us from the '10s to '20s. And by 2022 if we get a new president then we'll be getting even more changes along with new cultural trends. Prepare yourselves, everybody. The late '10s onward may be a bumpy ride in terms of cultural shifts.

My guess is the late '10s will be like the late '70s.  There was a distinct culture during the Carter years that was different from the Nixon/Ford years and also quite different from the '80s.  2017-2020 will be a distinct era.  Ten years from now, we may look back on those years as the "real '10s" just like the Carter disco era represents the '70s for a lot of people.

I don't think anyone can predict the future that far out. Didn't I mention my 2007 class project about how I thought everyone will drive hydrogen-powered cars and use those fancy PDAs for cellphones by 2012? :P

You must watch the wrong kind of programs?


I think she lit one on The Jimmy Kimmel Show.

I don't think anyone can predict the future that far out. Didn't I mention my 2007 class project about how I thought everyone will drive hydrogen-powered cars and use those fancy PDAs for cellphones by 2012? :P


If you mentioned Touch screen smartphones instead of PDAs for cellphones by 2012 then you would've had a very accurate class project. As for the hydrogen cars...errr...maybe someday.


My guess is the late '10s will be like the late '70s.  There was a distinct culture during the Carter years that was different from the Nixon/Ford years and also quite different from the '80s.  2017-2020 will be a distinct era.  Ten years from now, we may look back on those years as the "real '10s" just like the Carter disco era represents the '70s for a lot of people.


So a distinct era that separates the 2010s and the 2020s and also acts as a bridge between them. Now to wait and see how the whole presidential election goes. 2016 may be the last '10s year that felt consistent with the  previous few years. Now I wonder what new cultural trends will actually pop up. And what trends of the '10s will begin to fade away as we draw closer to 2020.

Y'all just want to kill my beautiful 2010s, you'd even vote Donald just to kill it. Haters gonna hate.

Drumpf ain't gonna win crap except maybe Alabama/Mississippi. Clinton will win a landslide and culture will be the same until 2024/2025. BELIEVE.

Except we might get self-driving cars and VR and other cool stuff by 2020. That's the kind of change I want to see :P

Hey I'm the type of guy who loves cultural changes sometimes due to always being curious on what new eras are like. I'm always wondering what the future holds instead of thinking of the present (although I do try my best at keeping my head in the current era) or being overly nostalgic for the past (while I am nostalgic at times I will admit that the internet killed my love for nostalgia).  Hey you may learn to like the '20s once it starts.

Virtual Reality is right around the corner. And some self driving cars sound a bit scary to me, but hey I can't knock it 'till I try it.

I don't think anybody would want Trump as president. Hell, even Republicans don't want him. He's doesn't have any political experience at all. So, I guess Americans would most likely vote for Clinton.

Looks like another Clinton will take charge.  8)

Although I'm very curious on how everyone's reaction would be if Trump actually becomes the president.

If Trump wins, he'll be worse than George W. Bush, and Richard Nixon combined. He's a man who basically wants to get rid of Mexicans and Muslims, while white supremacists defend him for that. Not only that, he basically thinks of all of this radical bullsh*t that nobody likes, except for idiots (e.g. thinking autism comes from vaccines, making fun of disabled journalists and Republican opponents, etc).

They'll most likely freak out that he's our president for the next 4 years. I'll wish that I could live in Canada with Slowpoke if he wins. Sure, their current prime minister is an ass, but he's no Trump.

;D I get ya.

VR is actually here, though it's in primitive form. They are selling the Gear VR with every sale of the new Samsung Galaxy S7, so a lot of people are getting to play around with it. What I'm excited for just at the moment is 3D photos. Not photos with depth in them, but photos you can actually walk in and look through stuff. I saw it in Google I/O 2015.

Our current PM is amazing!  :D I had my doubts about him but he's exceeded my expectations so far through and through. (but he's only been PM for 5 months) Another reason to love the 2010s.  ;D

You are probably thinking of Harper, he was PM from 2006-2015. He lost the 2015 election.

I also find it interesting that none of the people I know in real life also think Trump is a joke. Saying they'd rather vote for Clinton. If all the bad things of Trump is true AND he becomes president then we'll be in for some crazy times.  :-\\

Soon we'll be living in a world where can create our own worlds....virtually anyways. What amazes me is that while VR is this big new cutting edge trend that's happening lately it's in a very early form. What we have now is still VERY primitive to what we'll get within the next few decades. But then again this can be said for all technology.

I do have some spare bedrooms for American refugees, but there is a talk about building a 10 metre wall made of ice to stop the American migration should Trump get elected. Naturally, you guys will foot the bill for this wall. :P

He probably wants Mexicans to get out of America, even though it's not helping his case. No sane person would want to build a damn wall near the Mexican-U.S. borders.

If Trump wins I will pack up my clothes and my wife move in with my uncle in Canada. No need for SlowpokeMc2001's space 'cause he'll just subject me to hipster indie pop.

HEY! That's a good idea! Why didn't I think of that?

2015 wasn't bland.  It was grand, but this topic sucks, so read this super long joke instead.

A man was driving in the middle of nowhere down a secluded country road far from any cities. He got a flat tire, and got out to walk for help.After walking for some time, he came to a small stone monastery. He knocked on the door and roused the monks. "I've got a flat tire. Can I use your phone?" He asked.

The monks said they were sorry, but they did not have a phone. "If you stay tonight, you can get a ride on our wagon into town tomorrow," they said. So the man stayed the night, and they put him in a small room in the monastery.

In the middle of the night, the man was awakened suddenly by a noise. Not just any noise, but the loudest, most wonderful, most terrifying, most hair-raising noise ever.

He sat there, his heart beating for a few minutes, and he heard it again!Getting out of bed, he went running in the direction of the noise. It came again, making the hair on the back of his neck rise and his skin crawl. Finally, he came to a large door where the head monk was standing. The door was at least 15 feet tall, and made of solid-looking wood and metal. It had chains and bars and locks and a deadbolt on it, and was the most formidable door the man had ever seen.

"What was that sound?" He asked. "What made it? Is it behind that door?"

The head monk shook his head. "I'm sorry," he said. "I can't tell you; you're not a monk."

As the man turned away, he heard the noise again. "You have to tell me what it is," he begged.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you, you're not a monk," said the monk.

The man tried to sleep, but couldn't get the noise out of his head. In the morning, as he was getting ready to leave, he heard the sound again. It made his ears ring and his mind whirl."Please tell me what made that sound," he said.

But the monks wouldn't. "I'm sorry, you're not a monk" was all they said.

The man left, and eventually got his car fixed and went back to his life. But he couldn't get the sound out of his mind. After a few months, he got in his car and drove and drove until he found the monastery again. He got out of his car and found the head monk. "I can't forget that sound from that night I was here. Please, please please tell me what made that sound." The head monk just shook his head.

"I can't tell you; you're not a monk," he said."Then tell me how I can become a monk," the man said.

The head monk said "It's very difficult. Are you sure you want to do this?"The man said "I've got to. I have to know what made that sound."The head monk said, "To join us, you have to perform several tasks. Your first task is to count all of the stars visible in the sky."

The man thought about how hard that would be, but he had to know what made that sound. He sat up every night for a year, counting the stars over and over until he was sure how many stars were visible in the sky. He went to the head monk and told him, and the monk nodded.

"Very good. Your next task is to count all of the grains of sand on the beaches around the world."The man knew this would be even harder, but he could not get the noise out of his head. He had to know what, what kind of animal, could make that terrible horrible mind-bending sound. So he left on his journeys. He crawled the length and breadth of every beach in the world, counting the grains of sand, and he returned to the monastery years later.The head monk heard his answer and nodded.

"Excellent. You are almost done. Your final task is to climb to the peak of the highest mountain in the world, and see yourself in relation to the rest of creation." And the man knew this would be hard, but he outfitted himself, and he went to the highest mountain in the world, and he climbed to the top, and returned months later, older and wiser and more tired than years before when he had first heard the noise, the noise that would not leave his mind and that echoed in his every waking thought.He returned, and the head monk saw that he was wiser, and said "At last, you are a monk. Come with me."

And they walked through the monastery, its twisting and turning halls, and as they went the man heard the noise again, over and over, and he was no longer sure if it was the noise or merely his memory of it.And finally, finally, he stood in front of the door and the head monk opened it up, and the man saw what had made the noise.

But, I can't tell you what it was. You're not a monk.

2015 was definitely not bland. A lot has happened that year. If there is any bland year in the 2010's it's 2014, though 2014 wasn't a bad year, just bland.

I would love to see that by 2020.

Okay. Then I guess I could move to Canada with no problem, if Trump wins.


So if Trump loses will you stay?

u3w876HsJpM

Also what is up with Trump and his walls?  ::)


I agree, he sure loves his walls. ::)

2015 was definitely not bland. A lot has happened that year. If there is any bland year in the 2010's it's 2014, though 2014 wasn't a bad year, just bland.


I agree with this. 2014 was the most bland year of the decade. 2015 was an improvement, even though it was still bland. In fact, the entire mid-2010's is pretty bland. I could go even further to say that this entire decade is bland compared to the 2000's and especially to the 90's.

So if Trump loses will you stay?


Most likely, I would say yes.

If Drumpf wins I will pack up my clothes and my wife move in with my uncle in Canada. No need for SlowpokeMc2001's space 'cause he'll just subject me to hipster indie pop.

Err.. what? How can the year that gave us Interstellar, Guardians of the Galaxy, Boyhood and many others be described anything like "bland"? Even in 2015, they were playing late 2014 hits on the radio such as Shake it Off, Blank Space, Uptown Funk etc. I heard those songs on the radio as late as September. Every TV show 2015 has, 2014 has as well, including How I Met Your Mother, and it had the better season of Game of Thrones, House of Cards.

all of THIS.

2014 was probably the most balanced year of the 2010's for me so far. So it's my favorite, although, not everything perfect happened that year though. If you took my UGA Bulldog and ATL Falcons teams from 2012 and my Summer 2011 and put it in 2014, then that year would have been completely perfect for me. Summer 2014 wasn't the best although my 2nd favorite and my UGA Georgia Bulldogs and ATL Falcons had mediocre years.

Well, it's not like some people would agree with you. I for one, dislike the 2010s, and I just want this decade to be over.

Haha, I'm joking. But if you want a real 2000s vs 2010s debate, I'll fight any of you. >:(

Same! 2014 had everything, I know I'm going to be very nostalgic for it in the future. Heck, the reason I don't know many 2015 songs is because they kept playing 2014 songs on the radio and at parties all day! It's weird, 2015 in music just draws up a blank for me.

Haha, trust me, none of us are THAT desperate to kill off the 2010s. Anyways, we wouldn't need to do that. Pop culture will gradually change on it's own from 2017-2020. This is indisputable fact, not opinion. I have foreseen it, with my special psychic powers! The 2010s are doomed! Doomed I tell you! Muahahaahhahaa  :D!


In all seriousness, when it comes to VR, that could happen sometime in the 2020s. Self-driving cars are a bit iffy in my opinion, but it's possible that they'll be in their early stages in the 2020s. Though nothing is for sure at this point. Guess my magical psychic powers aren't as strong as I thought  :-\\

I would agree the mid 2010's in general is pretty bland. Adele is popular now, Sam Smith was popular in 2014, nuff' said.  ;D

I went to a psychic who told me that 2010s culture will last until 2023, and will experience a revival in 2028 as people get very nostalgic.  :D

Self-driving cars already exist though, to some extent. We have cars that parallel park themselves, automated braking systems, and the Teslas that actually do drive themselves, all available to the public!  :D I think sometime in the early '20s, Google will release their cars (they say 2020, but it will get delayed obviously), by the mid-'20s I think pretty much everyone will have them.

Trudeau hasn't even done anything yet though... How is he amazing?  ;D His personality is good though because you can see he actually cares about the job.


Well this winter has been very warm and sunny, I mean a few weeks ago it was the dead of February and it was 15C and people were wearing shorts! Harper winters though were always very tough. We had the ice storm, and last year it dipped to -40C. It's only been 5 months and Trudeau is already delivering amazing winters.

But really, I've lived through a lot in my time, young grasshopper. Harper, Dalton McGuinty and Kathleen Wynne are all horrible, and Trudeau is like a breath of fresh compared to these three stooges ;D He did a good job at COP21 and he already got rid of the Bill C-21 (the second class citizen bill).


We do have VR though.... I own a Samsung Gear VR and it was only around $150...


Haha yeah, I explained that in a later post. The technology is still pretty primitive, it still requires a phone, still requires a wired connection, you can't experience VR with other people, you cannot interact with the world around you etc. There is still a lot of work to do.

I think anybody would know that the last 2010s influences would end in 2023. So, it's not like anybody needed a psychic (even though you're joking).

Hm, I may have a few choice words for this phony psychic. My powers may not be developed, but they're enough to defeat this imposter!  :D

As for self driving cars, it all depends if they turn out to be reliable. A lot can go wrong with something that is programmed by a computer. The system can malfunction, catch a virus, etc. I'm not saying that they can't be a success. They certainly can. I'm just saying that nothing is set in stone at this point. There needs to be a lot of work done to ensure that they are safe and reliable. Not to mention a lot of people do enjoy driving. There will be a lot of skepticism towards the idea of self-driving cars in general. Taking all that into account, I just don't see self driving cars completely taking over by the mid 2020s.

Well yeag, there may be holdovers from the late 2010s in the early 2020s, but I doubt there will be any holdovers from the early or mid 2010s.

Hm, I may have a few choice words for this phony psychic. My powers may not be developed, but they're enough to defeat this imposter!  :D

As for self driving cars, it all depends if they turn out to be reliable. A lot can go wrong with something that is programmed by a computer. The system can malfunction, catch a virus, etc. I'm not saying that they can't be a success. They certainly can. I'm just saying that nothing is set in stone at this point. There needs to be a lot of work done to ensure that they are safe and reliable. Not to mention a lot of people do enjoy driving. There will be a lot of skepticism towards the idea of self-driving cars in general. Taking all that into account, I just don't see self driving cars completely taking over by the mid 2020s.

Trust me, computers are way smarter than humans. A lot can go wrong with stupid humans driving as well, more can go wrong than if a computer was driving. Even if there are accidents, it will be nowhere near the death rate of car accidents today. Self-driving cars ARE happening and we will see them take up the 25% of the roads in the next 5 years and 50% in the next 10 years at least.

How would anybody know that? NOBODY knows what the future will bring, not even decadologists.


Well yeah, but we already there would be self-driving cars in the near future.

Precisely. There wouldn't be any early-mid 2010s crap holding until the early '20s, since it would feel rather old for the era.

It's not like we're taking this topic seriously. We were just trying to predict the future, somehow.

Humans will always be smarter than computers no matter how far society advances in technology, because we invented those things and made it possible. I can do 17 X 10 a lot faster than wasting my time putting it in a calculator.

There is nothing wrong with predicting the future. And yeah everyone is just having some fun throwing ideas around. It's not like things are getting out of hand.

What does that have to do with the D word? People are just talking about the pop culture and what was relevant during a certain time period. It's not a numerical thing.

I always believed in the logic that a person cannot make a machine that is smarter than he/she actually is.

Machines or computers can be programmed to do all kinds of impossible things, but we still control it though, just like how we can't let technology control our lives all the time. People complain all day about the kids now being on their iPod's or iPad's all day long, but in the end, it's still our choice and decision to allow them to do that all day. We have the choice to force kids to go outside a lot more or play indoor board games or hiding go seek.

Okay, well having a smart human program a self driving car is still safer than having a lot of dumb humans driving.

You can't say that for sure, because self driving cars haven't taken over yet. I know self driving cars seem safe in theory, but we haven't seen them completely in action. We've only seen a few test runs of self driving cars, compared to nearly a century of manually driven cars. It's easy to say their safer now, because they've barely been in usage. For all we know, they could end up being a disaster. You can't say for sure that the death rate will go down.

As for your 5 year and 10 year predictions, once again, it's still up in the air. It's not set in stone at this point.

That's really not how it works.

First of all, while you can calculate 17 X 10 faster than (entering it on) a computer, you cannot do 17 x 1 all the way to 17 x 10000 in a matter of mere milliseconds like a computer can. (I just tried in Python, it took the computer 0.064 seconds for it to do 17 x 1 to 17 x 10000 and to print it onto screen) What this means is that a computer can take many variables into account in its driving environment and make decisions based on these variables faster than you can. As an example, it takes you a while to process that the car in front of you is slowing down, and then thus you should slow down with it. The self-driving car on the other hand calculates the speed of the car ahead of you thousands of times a second and knows exactly when to start slowing down.

Second of all, humans are biological, computers are mechanical. Humans get sleep, angry, worried, horny, have to go to the washroom, all things which impair driving. Computers on the other hand make calculations as well as the day you bought them, there is very little room for error. Computers do exactly what you tell them to do. If there ever is a self-driving car accident, then it is more than likely that there is a bug in the code, rather than actual incapacity for the computer to carry out the task.

There are automated cars on the road right now. As I've said, there are cars that can parallel park by themselves, automated braking systems, and the Tesla Model S which is a self-driving car you can buy right now in 2015/2016 (although it is very primitive). It's my belief that the first completely autonomous self-driving car will be in the market sometime in the first half of the 20s, or sometime in the 20s. Them being popular instantly is almost a no-brainer. There might be "driving enthusiasts" but they're negligible. It's like having a "letter writing enthusiast" when you've got a word editor on a computer. People might be afraid at first, but assuming that the deployment is successful and self-driving don't cause a ridiculous amount of accidents, we can expect these people's fears to be assuaged rather quickly.

2015 was kind of boring mostly. Music and TV: Blah. With that said I don't like Trump or Hillary. 

New York Sports Teams: They suck except for the New York Jets even though they didn't make the playoffs. The Yankees season was over once Mark Texiera hit a ball off his leg and actually broke his leg from that incident and was out for the rest of the season. The Mets lost the World Series. Ok the Jets and Mets had good seasons especially the Mets.

I think Super Bowl 49 was pretty good with the Seahawks and Patriots.

Watching Steph Curry that guy is a legend on the basketball court thus far in his career.

If Trump wins, he'll be worse than George W. Bush, and Richard Nixon combined. He's a man who basically wants to get rid of Mexicans and Muslims, while white supremacists defend him for that. Not only that, he basically thinks of all of this radical bullsh*t that nobody likes, except for idiots (e.g. thinking autism comes from vaccines, making fun of disabled journalists and Republican opponents, etc).
Nixon actually had acceptable approval ratings in the low 50's before Watergate happened.

The only NY sports teams that went to the playoffs were the Yankees and Mets. The Yankees lost the Wild-Card Game to the Astros, since they had a terrible pitcher at the game. The Mets somehow went on to be the National League champion. I was surprised, since I thought the Mets were going to flunk during the NLDS.

Nixon actually had acceptable approval ratings in the low 50's before Watergate happened.


Well yeah, he sucked because of the Watergate scandal. Barely anybody liked him after that.

R&B was still pretty good, WWE was damned good that year... until the end. Gaming was slowly heading towards a different direction, but that was still pretty good that year, NBA was still in a dark period but gave us a GREAT NBA Finals, Movies were pretty good. And the kid culture was still decent. So yeah it was good to be a kid, but... and I don't mean to sound racist; but it was great to be a young black boy at the time. Right now being a young black man in my early 20s, is kind of a struggle in today's society; and if you've seen the news I shall say no more.
Which finals? 2004, 2005, or 2006?

Google Cars had driven over 700,000 miles by the end of 2014, over 1.3 million miles now. It has only been in around 20 accidents, only one of which where the car was at fault (in the rest, the other human driver was found to be at fault). It still needs human intervention every now and then, which is the only reason Google hasn't released it. They want the car to be completely autonomous and not require a human driver, instead of basic assisted-driving.

Yeah... I don't want to go into full detail for how today's politics suck. It makes the 2000s look decent compared to it, albeit it was pretty terrible.

Now if there ever was a year that was bland it was 2005.  ;D  Crunk rap dominated the radio, cheap reality TV shows blasted the air waves, GTA clones flooded the video game stores, King Kong and The 40 Year Old Virgin were the best Hollywood had to offer, fashion was all about how to out-boring and out-bland each other, there were natural disasters left and right, the political situation makes it look like the dark ages only 5 years later, and no one would shut up about Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and other celebrity trainwrecks. I know a lot of people here like 2005, but I don't think 2015 was that bad.  ;D
I thought Lindsey Lohan and Britney Spears were trainwrecks 2007 and after not before 2007. I remember Britney shaving her head in 2007 and Lindsey Lohan going nuts in maybe 2008 or 2009. Yeah Paris Hilton she was popular from 2003-mid 2006 for no reason and than after mid-2006 you never heard about her after that. I think "The Kardashians" came on the scene in 2007 filling that Paris Hilton "tabloid reality star" void. I guess "The Tabloid Media" didn't find Paris intriguing to write about or cover anymore for some reason.

and his balls.


And his daughter... 8-P


How would anybody know that? NOBODY knows what the future will bring, not even decadologists.


True decadeologists can tell the future. If you can't tell the future, you're not a real decadeologist.

Which finals? 2004, 2005, or 2006?

2005 and 2006, 2004 was embarrassing!

I would agree the mid 2010's in general is pretty bland. Adele is popular now, Sam Smith was popular in 2014, nuff' said.  ;D

The mid 2010s have been characterized by VIOLENCE, lgbt movement, the new civil rights movement, mindless shootings in school and workplace, sheeshty video games, mindless blockbuster movies, distrust in government, but great and memorable sports moments. Overall, we have seen some pretty dark times lately, things aren't peaceful AT ALL! :\'(

Predicting the future is decadeology now? I mean technically it can be since the suffix "ology" means the study/research of, but I mean for the purspose of the rules of this forum. Now if someone were to say that "2020 will be the new 2004", I can see how some might get annoyed at that.

The only album I really liked from 2015 was To Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar.

That sh*t has been happening since 2012 to me. That year was like the build-up to mid-2010s politics. I could say 2005 also had a similar political movement like this, but I think there were less shootings in America back then.

Yep, the Trevon Martin shooting in 2012 was the building branch, however, I would say since 2013 it's really been in full effect, especially when Zimmerman's trial was going on throughout Summer 2013 and was pleaded not guilty. This is why I keep saying that the 2010-11 school year or 2011 as a whole was the quintessential early 2010's period. 2012 was still mostly early 2010's but it was NOT quintessential anymore, because it was the start of mid 2010's influences, not to mention the start of 2010's cultural movies too with the Hunger Games, Avengers, etc.

Nope, not at all. 2014 was when it OFFICIALLY went FULL effect cause of the Mike Brown shootings here in Ferguson, and the Eric Garner death.

It was actually made in 2013 after George Zimmerman was found not guilty.

That's not my point. My point is that the shooting of Trevon Martin and the Zimmerman trial was still the very first to start that trend in 2012/2013, regardless of when it started peaking (which was 2014), followed by the shootings in Ferguson and the Eric Garner death later on. 2012 and 2013 brought in a lot of mid 2010's trends but still had a lot of early 2010's trends at the same time. 2012 leaning towards early 2010's, while 2013 leaned towards mid 2010's.

I agree with both of you in a way. If we're talking about the core 2010's, then I would say it began in Mid 2013 because of these events:


-The Boston Marathon Bombing, which created a new fear of terrorism in the core 2010's

-The Controversial ruling on the Trayvon Martin Case, which reignited racial tensions in the core 2010's

-The Edward Snowden Leaks, which created a new sense of anti government sentiment in the core 2010's


These 3 events are CRUCIAL, because it laid down the frame work of our current society; the racial (and political tensions) which have resulted in numerous protests and riots on all sides, the new fear in domestic & international terrorism with the rise of ISIS & increased coverage of mass shootings, and finally the growing anti government sentiment (for instance currently Congress has an approval rating of only 11%!).

All of this along with certain pop cultural trends like the new emergence of teen pop (Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Lorde, etc.) emerging this year, EDM overtaking dubstep in popularity, new wave disco music with 'Blurred Lines' & 'Get Lucky', Twitter overtaking Facebook & the rise of Vine & Snapchat, YouTube's decline becoming noticeable with the Google+ Debacle, and the transition from the 7th generation video games to the 8th generation video games, along with other important assets that currently affects our contemporary culture.

Now I agree with most people on here that the actual Mid 2010's didn't begin until Late 2013/2014, but the core 2010's began in or around 2013 and had noticeable effects as early as 2012.

With that said it seems like 2015 or the current year would most likely be the quintessential year of this decade! In fact I see this year, or possibly next year, as the culmination year (the year the core 2010's leads up to, and thus creates an important cultural year for the decade overall zeitgeist). Basically 2016/2017 would be this decade's 2007/2008.

Overall as of early 2016 there is a mixture of pessimism and optimism in the air right now, Its actually a very weird feeling.

Very good points. Mid 2010's culture was definitely in full effect by late 2013, and I believe 2015 as a whole or the 2015-16 season/school year will be looked back as the quintessential mid 2010's period. However, if I had to pick a starting point for the core 2010's, that probably be late 2012 or early 2013. Once again people, the 2010-11 season/school year or the entire year of 2011 was the quintessential early 2010's period.

Yeah once Obama was reelected for a second term, there was definitely a shift. For instance the Sandy Hook shooting occurred in Dec. of 2012 which was VERY traumatic! That definitely reignited the gun debate which sort of took a back seat for much of the 2000's despite school shooting rising rapidly during that decade.

I agree that the 2015-16' school year would most likely be the quintessential era in the 2010's looking back similar to how the 1995-96' school year was the quintessential school year in the 90's or how 2005-06' was quintessential for the 00's.

Huh.  :o

Honestly, the whole 2010s have a very consistent feel to them. You can even make a good argument for the core 2010s starting in late 2010 with the creation of the Tea Party through Twitter, and the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. In early 2011 we had the Arab Spring which would cause problems in the Middle East and the international community in the mid-2010s. In late 2011 there was the Occupy Wall Street movement which really drove the progressive bent of the 2010s home. Then in early 2012 we had the murder of young Trayvon Martin, and in late 2012 we had the election and a lot of the racial and economic/socialist rhetoric was already present, and we had the Sandy Hook and Aurora theatre shootings.

True! The 2010's are much more consistent that the 2000's IMO. Heck it seemed like there were 4 decades in the 2000's; Most of 2000 & 2001 riding off the tail of the 90's, 9/11-2004 Acting as the 'Bittersweet Era', 2005-2008 as the 'New 60's Era', and finally Late 2008 & 2009 being a segway to the 2010's. Each of these eras I listed had different sets of values, beliefs, and iconic pieces of culture.

The 2010's in contrast seem to be very consistent in values, beliefs, and iconic pieces of culture. A lot has changes since 2010 based upon a 2016 perspective, but not in the same crazy was as was the difference between 2000 & 2006!

As I've said before the 2010s has been way more consistent. Before the 2010s the last decade to feel consistent was the 1980s. With 1990s & 2000s having quite a lot of changes to the point where you can say they're full of mini eras.

Except that 2016 is like the year of Trump/Clinton instead of Obama. It might feel like another decade if Trump wins the presidency.

With presidential elections that happen two or three times in a decade, I believe there's multiple political eras for a decade. For instance, 2009-2016 would be like the Obama Era, while 2017-2021 would be the Trump or Clinton Era.

True but sometimes there's even more sub eras. For instance Bush 43's first term was dramatically different to his second. In his first term (for the most part) he was a popular president and there was a lot of American nationalism in the country. But his second term for the most part was tumultous, he was very unpopular and there was a lot of shame of being American (similar to today) back then.

How would anybody know that? NOBODY knows what the future will bring, not even decadologists.


I don't know what the future will bring.

You told me you studied Decadeology in school. How can you not tell the future!?!?!

Well yeah, but you just mentioned two eras of Bush Jr. One in the early 2000s, and one in the mid-late 2000s. I also wouldn't say there isn't a lot of shame of being American, aside from the presidential candidates who are running this year.

Well like I said there was also the 2000-Mid 2001 Era which was just a continuation of the Y2K Culture from 1999 and the Late 2008-2009 Era which was mostly defined by the Great Recession and the election of Obama. On the second point, I understand where your coming from but the U.S despite being a superpower, is resented across the world. Especially in the middle east. People in European countries tend to just make fun of us because we don't have reasonable gun regulations of single payer health care, but overall we tend to get along.

Very good points. Mid 2010's culture was definitely in full effect by late 2013, and I believe 2015 as a whole or the 2015-16 season/school year will be looked back as the quintessential mid 2010's period. However, if I had to pick a starting point for the core 2010's, that probably be late 2012 or early 2013. Once again people, the 2010-11 season/school year or the entire year of 2011 was the quintessential early 2010's period.

I would say early 2013 was the start of the mid 10's. That's when I started noticing change happen.

American politics have little to do with a decade's culture overall because most people do not live in the U.S.

You sure? You strike me as an expert decadeologist. I thought you had the Ph.D?

Howard doesn't seem to talk about decadeology with us.

Yeah, but most of us are American citizens. That's why we mostly talk about American pop culture, along with its politics.

Trust me. Howard is really into his decadeology. He's currently writing a book about the subject and even has plans to do a TED talk.

Can't wait to hear his opinions on the spirit of 1990.

Me too. Howard's very insightful when it comes to his decadeology. And he also agrees with my spirit of 1998 facts. A man you can trust.

2005 and 2006, 2004 was embarrassing!
Oh the way the Pistons beat the Lakers was embarrassing? It was great if you are Lakers hater like myself. 2006: The Mavs blew that finals to the Heat. 2005: The first 4 games were blowouts between the Pistons and Spurs The last 3 were close. I say Game 5 was the deciding game when "Sheed" left "Big-Shot Bob" open for a game-winning 3 Pointer. Loved the 2002-2008 Pistons Teams.

Except that 2016 is like the year of Trump/Clinton instead of Obama. It might feel like another decade if Trump wins the presidency.
He won't win even Republican Voters can't stand him. The Presidential Election is already over. Only Rubio could have beaten Hillary of all the Republican Candidates running.

But Trump is the frontrunner. How can you have Rubio beat Clinton, if he doesn't even have a thousand delegates? I don't even think he won any state yet.

I meant if Rubio actually won the nomination he would have a shot at beating Clinton. He isn't gonna win the nomination.

Okay. I don't know about Rubio, but I'm not sure if his points are going to get him elected. We're not sure yet.

What do you want to know?

I don't like when people like to despise the 2010's, especially 2015. That's why we have this thread.

I don't like it because you can barely find good sh*t today. All the 2010s have for people is the Internet, and that's it. Video games consoles are even mediocre, since most people use them to watch Netflix, or anything else besides actual games.

I had a fair time in 2014 since I was anticipated in Smash speculation hyped for the release of Smash Wii U. I didn't have a radio that year so I don't know if the music was tolerable are not. Aside from that, I don't like the mid 2010s at all right now. The music is the most important part of a era and right now my main genre is tedious and depressive.

You got a point there.
