I like to think of the 2010s, especially the late 2010s as a redux of the 1970s. The early to mid-2010s was akin to the late 60s, and the 2000s was like the earlier parts of 60s and the 50s. Therefore I think that the 2020s will be like the 1980s, and since there was a huge backlash against the 1970s in the 1980s, so I think that the same thing is going to happen. There is a lot to hate about this decade, and I mean a lot, and all of that is just going to erupt sometime sooner or later.

I think so too now it's only a matter of time

I hope you are wrong about the 2020s being like the '80s.  The '80s weren't good times if you weren't white, straight, rich, and Christian.  I would say the late 2010s is more like the '80s and I hope it's a short-lived era.

Yeah there is going to be a huge backlash within the next year or two hopefully and I think the backlash will be big like how the 90s was a backlash to the 80s!

There will definitely be one on this forum, that's a given. In general maybe there will but I always wonder if people care about decades anymore. Most people think decades just aren't a thing after the year 2000. Normal people say "early 2000s" but don't actually mean the early part of the decade, they always refer it to as the early part of this century which is crazy.

Naw. When everyone starts preparing for 2020, they'll begin waking up.

Y'all so thirsty for a cultural shift lol. New trends are nice, but asking for a backlash is rather silly to me considering y'all will hate on the new stuff anyway in the end after awhile.

The hair was ugly, the music was crap, and yeah, Reaganism is basically to blame for all of our societal problems today.

This. Everyone just learn to enjoy the present moment, please, for the sake of your mental health and mine.

I'd even say today's music parallels the '80s in many ways.  It all sounds the same and there isn't much diversity.  That's not to say I dislike today's music because it has its charm, but it is getting pretty stale, similar to how music was getting at the end of the '80s.

Overall, the late 2010s is a pure nightmare era defined by bigotry and hate.  The sooner it goes, the better.

Naw. When everyone starts preparing for 2020, they'll begin waking up.

I guess the media and TV will air end of decade specials and greatest moments of the decade like they did back in 2009. That will probably wake people up. Many people don't even realize we are in the last year of the decade or they just don't care. They're too asleep or focused on their smartphones.  :P

I really just want the early 2020s to be its own era completely separate from the late 10s.

That would be a first then because nearly every decade's early part is strongly connected to the previous one's late part, which makes perfect sense.

Not at all. In the early 2000s and early 2010s this was definitely not the case. 1998 and 2008 marked the end of that decare. For the early 90s it was though, where '80s trends didn't fully go away until 1991. That may be the case this time. But that is wrong to say every early part has similarities with the late part of the previous decade.

This culture is also long in the tooth. So there will be change pretty soon.

the 80s died off in 1993

The early 2000s late 90s were their own era. So were the late 2000s early 2010s. The core culture of both those decades didn't last too long. Which proves Mr. Shruggie's point about the last few years of a decade being related to the early years of the next decade. I personally think that this is the first decade in a while where this hasn't been the case. I expect the early 20s culture to be different compared to the late 10s culture. Like how Late 70s culture was different from Early 80s culture, though they both still shared many similarities.

the 80s died off in 1993

Some on here say 1993, some say 1991, and some even 1989. I have no idea. All I know is from the last two decades, the shift of 1999 and the shift of 2008.

what makes you think that this decade is so hate? i mean we already have people that love the early 2010s and feel nostalgic for it and the decade's not even over yet :P. the amount of hate for this decade is not more than normal and most of the people who hated this decade will hate the 2020s, 2030s, 2040s, and every other decade just the same

This decade was awful and it deserves to be hated on. Maybe in 10 years people will be nostalgic for it.

The 2010’s ROCK. What’s there not to like? ???

I will actually call the late 70s and early 80s its own cultural era, particularly 1978 to 1981 in which PC's and video games became fully mainstream (the latter would suffer a huge crash in 1983 which almost killed the entire console game market), as well as the charts being a fight between Soft Rock and New Wave, and Disco losing more and more grip (but still had some presence as late as 1981 with "Celebration" and "Stars on 45" topping the US charts).
I don't think 1981 really fits that much with what people usually call stereotypically "80s" based on the sounds and looks alone.

Plus Mtv came around this time but would take some time to really mark a shift.

IMO, 1981 is more 80s than 70s. In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins was released in 1981 and it sounds really 80s to me. Same with Jessie’s Girl, I Cant Go For That, Bette Davis Eyes, Physical, Waiting For a Girl Like You, Young Turks, and Don’t Stop Believin.

Donald Trump, the entire culture that got him elected and the culture that keeps him so popular in much of the US.

Please let this be a joke. Everything about this entire decade has been absolutely garbage from the economy, music, cartoons, video games, to social media and smartphones taking over the world, and don't even get me started on politics, plus so much more.

Yep there were way more negative things about the 10s besides trump. Heck I remember people being ultra pessimistic about 2010.

The whole decade was pretty depressing from start to finish. The early 2010s are not redeemable, not in my eyes.

The politics are about the only thing I don't like about this decade. The music (for the most part) is pretty good-to-great. Great movies. What I've seen of TV lately is great. I'm less versed in video games (Haven't had a system since N64). Social media isn't too bad; a lot of the drama is political anyway.

I don't see there being much of a backlash other than politically.

Ah yes one aspect of the '10s that sucks are all the vague, whiny and putting-everything-into-one-bag comments like this one.

Gen zers on here LOL  no one cares or even finds it noteworthy the decade were in anymore  "it's 2019 not the 90's" how many times have we heard this, "playing 80, 90s and now" Look the spirit of decade identity died on 1st January 2000 AM, although 2000 and 2001 were different I guess due to the spirit of everyone still being exciting over the new millennium,  after the 9/11 attacks though we all started to get sick of the new millennium by 0'2, anyway the concept of decade backlash was a 20th century thing you know when decades used to have a distinct identity to actually backlash against, it wouldn't work when all we have now is a never ending cycle of perennial trends that is the 21st century

Bland music and gendered fashion being popular again. The politics that empowered the far right in the latter half of the decade is also why I hate it. Technology and its move to streaming as opposed to letting people keep copies of culture they love is also a bad thing about this decade.

You didn't say why you think the 2010s are like the 1970s.

Many reasons, for example, the economy, a president that a lot of people don't like, the dominance of left-wing politics and feminism in culture, everyone seems to be depressed. I can't think of all the reasons from the top of my head, but a lot of people would agree with me on this if you search it up.
