I'll need something new to listen to when driving places. If it's good I'll listen.

I wonder what it will be like. Two and a half years... It's not that far away when you think about it.  :o

Hopefully it's a roaring 20s culture wise.

If the 2010s are the age of Adele, Katy Perry, and Drake, then the 2020s will most likely be the time of Meghan Trainor, The Chainsmokers, and Kendrick Lamar.  It's a safe bet.

Hopefully it's a roaring 20s culture wise.


I hate to say it, but I have a feeling that some Generation Zers will become nostalgic for the '10s in the 2020s. They will probably see the early '20s (2020-2022) as an extension to the 2010s, but they won't like the years that come after the early '20s.  I can almost see the year 2020 right now. "Keep Calm" merchandise will be on clearance somewhere, a new version of the fidget spinner will be sold at toy stores, and Harry Styles will have a new single. When we look back at the year 2020, none of that stuff will be mentioned. Those items will be a thing of the past (associated with the 2010s).

You mean the late 2010s. The 2020s will be totally different.

Honestly, I feel as though the 2020s will have more of a Blink 182 vibe than a Chainsmokers vibe. But that's just me.

There will be more hate and you'll still only be celebrated as a minority if you conform to your group's stereotyped culture.

i just want a girlfriend i can love what am i saying thats rude i shouldnt want a girlfriend now excuse me i have to let that person get back to her girlfriend

I'm with Unconventional. These artists are going to define this era considering by the early 2020s, there will already be new music scene.

I don't think that will happen. You're forgetting that the next decade will be heart of pop culture for Generation Z as the 2000s were to the Millennials.

I hope you're right. Every song sounds like a Chainsmokers feature at the moment. Their name wasn't meant to be literal. Mess!

Only time will tell.

I think pop culture in the 2020s will be something nobody will see coming. Very few predictions come true so it's hard to know what will be popular. I think it will be very different from the 2010s because by the time 2020 comes, people will really want change. I bet fashion will look really different by 2025 and it will seem like a big change. I think people will totally get over this divide between the left and the right next decade. I think the style of music will be something we don't see coming. One thing I do feel will stay the same is the primary target demographic for music will still be young females, and songs will still be primarily pop. I do not think rock will make a come back but who knows. I think the style and how music sounds will sound very different from now though. I will also follow culture next decade. Hopefully I will still be around these forums for next decade if this site still exists.  :P

The 2020's should be a blast for me, my mental health is where I can enjoy things, pay attention to things, and be less in my own head. So I'm definitely going to pay attention to pop culture in the 2020's.

Just out of curiosity, why do you want popular music to continue targeting young females? I'm not necessarily suggesting that pop culture targeting young females is a bad thing, however I do think that popular culture would be better of if it targeted an entirely new demographic.

I never said I wanted it to keep targeting young females, I said I think it will keep targeting young females lol. I think it's a bad thing from my perspective, but I certainly don't think the target demographic will change and the target will remain to be young females. And while the sound of music will change, I do not think it will be any less trashy than many of the popular songs we have today. The whole sexual/money/drugs content that was popular since the 2000s will probably not go away.

Pop music has targetted 8 to 13 year olds the past 15 years, maybe a little more. I bet before roughly 1999, the target audience was more 12 to 25. Older people have more depth, complexity, and experience, so their musical tastes are better than an 11 year old.

I'd have to agree with you here.

It's probably more like 8 to 17, rather than 8 to 13. ;D

I’m definitely going to keep up with pop culture in the 2020’s. It’ll be exciting to see how the new decade will be.
Things will be very different 10 years from now.

I think I did a pretty good job with the 10s, even though I gonna try to catch up on stuff like albums, series, movies and trends that I skipped in its last year (gonna be a blast :D)

I gonna try to keep the same for the Roaring TwentyTwenties

Since we’re both Generation Z, the 2020’s will be our decade, like how the 2000’s were to Millennials. I really do wonder how the culture will be like.

I think the 2020s will be a huge improvement from this decade. I do think music and pop culture will have a little more variety.I can't imagine this homogenous culture lasting forever.

Today's culture definitely won't be around anymore 10 years from now. I mean, just look at now compared to 2008, and 2008 compared to 1998, and 1998 compared to 1988, and so on.

Charleston Rave Culture, Nu-Vaudeville, CGI Slapstick, Electro-Big Band, Swing Rap, Art Déco Revival

You know, the usual stuff  :D

Two genres I would bet money against dominating the next decade are pop-punk and electro-swing.

It will be a mix of Millennial and Z just like the 1940s were a mix of Silent and GI.
Or how the 1980s were a mix of Boomer and Xer

Yeah, I said they won't dominate the next decade.  A lot of people are itching for a pop-punk revival and some kind of ode to the 1920s, but I don't think either will happen.

There was a Swing/Exotica Revival in the 90s out of seeminly nowhere, why wouldn't happen in the decade that actually has a reason for that?

But how long did it last?  How many swing revival songs made it into the Top 40?  How many do people remember?

Most people remember Zoot Suit Riot by Cherry Poppin Daddies.  A few people remember Royal Crown Revue.  Past that, it was a fad that not many people remember.

Yeah I wouldn't mind a pop punk revival but I would want it to be like the pop punk from the early 2000s.

I don't want any revivals such as pop punk. I want something new and innovative. It is boring reviving old genres and doesn't make a decade unique. I can get behind electro swing, even though it has part of an old genre the sounds is still very fresh.

Most Gen Zers don't even remember the 2000s. The core and middle part of gen z were born in the late 2000s. Gen Z officially starts around the year 2000.

Tbh I hope 2000s fashion doesn't get revived and we leave as it. It's much nicer this way for themed costume parties :D

I think they would bring back things from both eras. The 00s for most of the era and the 10s towards the end.

Actually, there's been a decision on when Gen Z starts. Pew puts it at 1997 which means most could and will remember the 00s.

There doesn't seem to be a consensus. I saw some say mid '90s and others say 2000. But at any rate, even if it starts at 1997, that doesn't mean most can remember the 2000s.... Only the earliest of Gen Z can remember it. The core group would still be born from the mid 2000s to the early 2010s, and therefore would still not remember the 2010s.

What comes after gen z anyway? I'm asking since i wonder what generation 2010s babies will be in.

Early 10s?? The last year for Gen Z is 2010. After that its Gen Alpha. Get ready to be wrong when tons of Gen Z recalls the 00s in the next several years. The 00s isn't just the early part. It's more than that.


What comes after gen z anyway? I'm asking since I wonder what generation 2010s babies will be in.
Alpha.

Alpha.

Generation Alpha? Wow.

Generation Alpha? Wow.
Yeah, and then after that it's Beta. However, I don't think those names will be there to stay. There could be something much better in the super future as they age just like Gen Z as a name isn't going to last forever.

Uh no, Gen Z haven't even finished being born yet what are you talking about lol. Generations last 20 years, not 10. 2020 is when the next generation will get born and we don't know what the next generation will be called. It goes like this:

2000 - 2006 = Early Gen Z
2007 - 2013 = Core Gen Z
2013 - 2018 = Late Gen Z

Of course give or take depending on when you think Gen Z started and if you take into account cusps.

It's been like this for every generation. Gen Z is not shorter than the rest. Around 20 years is the standard. There are ZERO people alive today who belong in the next generation (gen Alpha code name) they are all part of gen Z still. Nobody is born yet who is part of the next generation. We don't even know what the next generation will be called, it's all Gen Z right now. I have no idea where you get the idea there is another generation being born now...

Last year for gen Z being born 2010? LOL that's so wrong it's funny. You are missing all the babies who were born this decade... 2010 isn't even late Gen Z it's still the core part. So my original point stands, no most of Gen Z does not remember the 2000s. Gen Z are just kids and teens right now.

Oh ok so like is there for a generation from A-W?
Not quite. The generation concept didn't begin until sometime in the 1920s. After that though, there were terms for each generation going back the start of this region.

Yes, they are. If you do your research, there are tons of articles ending the generation in 2010. Since then, it's been nothing but Alphas.

Yeah, generations are around 20 years, but not all of them are especially if they are generally small. Gen Z

No. I'm not. Anyway, they will remember the 00s just like there are Millennials who recall the 1980s.

Sorry but you are wrong. Please show me this "article" where Gen A ends in 2010. You can't because there is none. Gen Z is not smaller lol that's ridiculous why would Gen Z be smaller compared to to other generations for no reason. Gen Z is still around 20 years, and the people in Gen Z are still being born and will continue to be born until around 2020, more or less. Gen Alpha or whatever the next generation will be called doesn't exist yet. Gen Z ending in 2010 is ridiculous. The generation is not 10 years only lol. Hell a lot of people still think millennial are being born in the early 2000s and stretching it out further. Gen Z is like all other generations, and will last until the 2020s.

The most common ending points I've seen for generation Z are 2009, 2010, and 2012.

It wasn't just one, but tons of articles say Gen Z ends in 2010. Don't believe me? Google Gen Alphas and you'll receive a ton of results. It starts at 2011.

Oh, and I never said generations were 10 years. I agree they are around 20.

Well, those people are wrong. The only reason they do that is that they don't know who or what a Millennial even is. The term means they grew up around the Millennium and after, not born around that time.


The most common ending points I've seen for generation Z are 2009, 2010, and 2012.
This! Where he got 2018 and 2020 from is beyond me.

Yeah, I've never seen any source end it at that time. 2018 is definitely no longer Z in my eyes let alone 2020.

Yeah, I've never seen any source end it at that time. 2018 is definitely no longer Z in my eyes let alone 2020.
Agreed and the sources don't even start Gen Z at 2000-01 anymore either. It's now between 1995 and 1997. However, there is a reason why people between the 1995 and 1999 timeframe didn't want to affiliate with Gen Z and that's due to the terrible, false stereotypes I explained on another site.

I'm not googling anything. It simply isn't true and its obvious these "articles and sources" are just made up given you can't even post it here when I asked you to. Gen Z don't end in 2010. Gen Z are still being born and will until 2020. And most of Gen Z will NOT remember the 2000s, end of story.

Yeah, I've never seen any source end it at that time. 2018 is definitely no longer Z in my eyes let alone 2020.

There is no generation that exists right now other than Gen Z and the ones before it.

I agree, Generation Z isn't barely defined by anything so far and the cohort really need to be fully adult (or at least everyone in or past their late teenage years) so it can finally take part as a whole of the workforce and political events, just because they used a bunch of late 90s/early 2000s borns in studies simply isn't enough. Give it a decade or so.

Trying to put dates on Generation Alpha is so ridiculous to do right now, I wouldn't even consider it as a thought.

Can we please get back on topic? I'm starting to get sick of these generation cut-off debates. Who cares? Anyway, I'm hoping that 2020s culture will be better. I'm not asking for a perfect decade, just one where there's something for everyone. The 2010s are too much of a homogeneous, "one size fits all" culture, and I think a lot of people feel the same way as I do.

I posted this in another thread, but I figured it fits here too. If the 2020s were in my hands, I'd probably have turned them into this flashy and obnoxious decade :D.


Not gonna take cues from previous decades cuz thats boring, gonna take the 2020s and imagine my own pop culture for them (not gonna happen cuz its way too over-the-top).

Music: Grime finally crops in the mainstream and replaces Trap as the dominant form of Hip Hop. The current Trap, Dancehall-inspired and Tropical EDM dies out and replaced by a more energetic, chaotic and manic form of EDM such as Bubblegum Bass, Happy Hardcore and Vocal Speedcore/Breakcore. Pop follows the same way and becomes ultra-energetic and cute and somewhat J-pop inspired, in reaction to the current Pop. An new type of Rock, a form of Electro-Rock, becomes a scene in the mid-part of the decade and gains mainstream momentum by the end part of it. It's not like Imagine Dragons and co., a much rougher and aggressive Rock taking cues from Drum 'n Bass, Breakbeat and Dubstep.

Technology: - VR Technology gets perfected and now you can transfer your "consiousness" into a virtual world where you can do whatever you want, akin to the internet.
- The electric cars industry booms as electric cars can now do more distances with less recharging.
- Watch-based phones outsells normal cellphones and have of course cool holographic, non transparant projection for browsing :P

The 2010s are too much of a homogeneous, "one size fits all" culture, and I think a lot of people feel the same way as I do.
I hope that becomes true as long as there's no wars or an economic depression involved.

The only thing I'm wondering is what kids of the 2020s will be into what shows they will watch and what kid/teen trends there will be.  ???
I mean I will be 16 in 2020 so.
I have two cousins who are 2010s babies so I'll observe them jk.

They will be into shows from this decade. Some of them are going to go past 2019 like shows have done for each turn of the decade.

Yeah.

I was just about to say that. Yeah, I agree. Let's get back on topic now.


I agree.

Oh wow I didn’t realize what I said would start another generation cut off debate.

Don't feel bad. What you said is accurate. There will be Gen Zers nostalgic for the 00s in the next few years especially that the 2020s will be their era.

I agree the Lost Generation ends at 1910 not 1901 like some people say. As a person born 1906 I have some nostalgia for the 1890s because it didn't end really until 1914.

The 1990s and 2000s were hugely changeful decades. The 1980s and 2010s were not as changeful and they were consistent decades. Given the pattern, I don't know if the 2020s will be very changeful. It seems to be that every second pair of decades is the pattern but nobody knows because anything can happen that triggers change. I do predict the 2030s will be very changeful though like the 1990s and 2000s were. No doubt the '20s will see change and it will be different to the '10s. But will the change come close to the change we saw in the '90s and '00s? I'm not sure. We shall wait and find out.

The cultural/geopolitical change between 1990 and 2000 was incredibly dramatic. The '00s were also changeful, but the change wasn't as dramatic compared to the '90s. I think the '20s could mirror the '90s in a lot of ways. The 2010's has been filled with a huge fakeness in all parts of our culture (acting fake on social media, fake youtube pranks, youtubers like RiceGum and those other trolls, IG models, unrelatable pop stars, unrelatable trap music etc.), and Gen Z/Millennials might start to get sick of it. People need to remember that pop culture doesn't change out of nowhere, most of the time it's a reaction to something. Honestly, I hope the '20s brings about a huge cultural change for the better; the first "real" 21st century decade.
