I really, really hope tracksuits will comeback! I LOVE and can't wait till I get one in April  :D Even better, Minako-chan and the others think it's cool too!

I also think fashion will get wackier. Not that there's anything to support this but... the Silver Crystal will work its magic.........

Hopefully the 2020s kill 80s nostalgia for good! Don't get me wrong, 90s nostalgia has certainly been the more obnoxious this decade, but for some reason 80s nostalgia annoys me even more and seeing how Hollywood still seems to cash on it. I mean what's the point at this point? The youngest people who could remember them are approaching their 40s.

But seeing how 50s nostalgia was still a thing in the 80s, that decade will probably follow the same road and die forever, killed by our heroes, the twenty-twenties :D.

I predict the 2020s will usher in fashion trends that will include bright colors and/or metallic material. Metallic lip gloss has already become popular in some circles. I  think pop divas like Katy Perry and Taylor Swift will be replaced with a new, fresh talent. Facebook may be replaced with another social media platform by the end of the '20s. I also predict that by the end, rap music will have lost some of it's crossover appeal and return to being a more dominate genre underground. Pop will be back on top. Streaming will continue to be the most popular way to consume music consistently throughout the decade. 

Of course I could be completely wrong.  :-Overall, I have a feeling it will be more enjoyable than the current decade.

- A new music genre will dominate the mid 2020s
- Self driving cars will become the norm by the tail end of the 2020s
- 2024 or 2025 will be the most transitional years we’ve seen since 2008
- The same kind of culture we have today will stick around in 2020
- Fashion will get more bright and colourful
- Trap will start to decline starting during the 2019-2020 school year.
- 2028 will bring us early 2030s culture
- 2000s nostalgia will be in full force by 2025

I hope some form of updated Flapper fashion --ie 1920s for the 2020s--will come into style so I can get nostalgic off that.

*If Trump loses the 2020 election a new president will represent the 2020s just like how Bill Clinton represents the 90s same with the 80s and Reagan.

*VR consoles will hopefully gain popularity

Early 2020s music will be mixed with late 2010s music (maybe 2020-2021 music)

Just out of curiosity, what makes you think those years will be transitional?

Wow, the 2020s has both to counter 2010s culture and bring back elements from the 20s and the 2000s

Expectations are high I see ;D

That’s true, Hollywood has started to kill 80s nostalgia around this year and probably tv-series like Stranger Things will lose the hype that had a couple of years ago. All the signs are that early 2000’s/late 90’s will take that place

Obviously, it's a cyclus: one decade gets killed by the next, then gets revived by the following for the time of two decades before disappearing again and being officially classed "vintage".

Aka the circle of life nostalgia:
80s = 50s & 60s
90s = 60s & 70s
2000s = 70s & 80s
2010s = 80s & 90s

Meaning the future:
2020s = 90s & 2000s
2030s = 2000s & 2010s (can't wait for this one :D)
2040s = 2010s & 2020s

While it will be cool to eventually see the 2030's, I'm much more focused on the 20's since it's the next decade and less than two years away now. :)

Inthe00s posts in 2024:

"We've been living in one big era since 2018."

"Late 2018 was the start of early 2020's culture. 2019 was the first full 100% early 2020's year."

"When will there be a cultural shift? Everything feels the same as 2018."

I definitely think they're going to be popular 10 years from now. Either then or sometime in the future. It's going to be very evolutionary.

A new invention could come out like a bus-cab type car where it's a cab and it fits about 2 or 3 people in the back and 1 in the front but instead of giving money to pay the fare you just swipe your Metrocard as soon you get inside the cab.

I'll hope by the 2020s, it would at least be more positive than this crappy decade for me and other people who have suffered enough.

Or you could just dip it in just like an MTA bus.
