What would you name the era were in now ?

The COVID-19 Pandemic Era.

The perfect sh!t storm.  ;D

The stay indoors era.

The COVID-19 Pandemic Era.


I've calling it the Coronavirus Time. Some refer to it as the Coronavirus Season as if it's like the flu or hurricanes.

Coronaviruses are a group of related RNA viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, these viruses cause respiratory tract infections that can range from mild to lethal. Mild illnesses include some cases of the common cold (which is also caused by other viruses, predominantly rhinoviruses),.

Like SARS, MERS, COVID-19. Is a variety Coronavirus disease, but ate more lethal.

Put Your Mask On Era

The early 2020s will probably be regarded as the Quarantine Era to me.

Often eras don't have names until they are over. The Vietnam era, for example, wasn't a term until the war was over.  During the depression people may have said "we are in a depression", but it wasn't called THE depression until later. And often eras are defined by what came just before, even if the era that came just before wasn't called that. "The post World War II" era. We will most certainly have a "post-pandemic" era.

You know, because everyone has to wear a mask.

What if the entire 2020's decade turns out to be the same as the year 2020, or worse?

It might be but you never know.

The name likely would be inappropriate for this forum....

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole decade turns out to be grim and dystopian. You have China being a global superpower, the US on the verge of a civil war (which seems farfetched, but it's possible with political centrism dying out), and a pandemic with unprecedented repercussions. I hope I'm wrong, but we're really starting off awful.

A lot of what you say is true. Yet we've STILL got a handful of people here who insist we are not in 2020s culture but in a "transition". They love that word. It's like they just learned it in high school and are determined to apply it to anything and everything. It's often true, but this particular time things just skipped right over any sort of "transition". But not according to them. Because the pop songs don't sound different enough. Can you imagine such a narrow view? It's like everybody is in high school or something. And besides, pop songs or rap songs and what they sound like is not relevant. We are not in an era when music drives the culture. The 60s and 70's, now THAT was an era when music drove the culture.

(which seems farfetched, but it's possible with political centrism dying out)

Yes, that's why I think you need more parties than just two. How are two political positions supposed to reflect the political will of hundreds of millions of people in a country that has a strong focus on individuality?

Back on topic I would say that so far with the climate change, Covid and the political situation that's currently going on this seems to be the dead end era.

Lol, good one.  ;D

I feel like I've woken up and started living in this silly Sci-Fi film for the past 6 months.

A strong focus on individuality unfortunately seems to be a thing of the past in this country. In the current climate (and this has been fermenting for quite some time) one is expected to lockstep into the groupthink and not deviate ONE INCH. This indoctrination starts in schools and continues on. What once might have been taught as opinion but is now taught as strict fact, and one is penalized for expressing any differning opinion. One is accused of "microagressions" and worse, until it escalates to one being cancelled and unpersoned. I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime and I'm not young.

Yeah, those crazy SJWs are certainly a big contributor to the Trump fan base. I wonder whether they actually realize that...
Extremism is always bad and something in the middle is needed.

It's simply The Trump Era. His presidency overshadows all these events one way or another.

THIS.

It can be described thusly with neither good nor bad connotations. It simply IS.

The COVID-19 Pandemic Era.
...Second Wave Era?

The Donald Trump says something dumb era  ;D

The Stupid Era.

The Dire Era.

Pandemic Era?
End of the World Era?
The Sh*tty 20's?

Doom and gloom era
The depressing 20s

Perhaps the opposite of the last '20s? So instead of "Roaring '20s" it will be called the "Terrible '20s".

Roaring could be good or bad depending on which side of the roar you are on. A century ago we were the lion. This year we are the antelope.
