So, since we're getting closer to it faster than before, what do you guys think about this particular year? I have this feeling it's going to be more futuristic than ever before and even more so than the new Millennium.

I'm pretty sure I'll see some changes. Even though I'll be more focused on 2000s nostalgia.

But there still won't be any flying cars, unless they're secretly being made now 😛

You sure will and isn't 00s nostalgia almost in full force? I've seen it being subtle with some things being current.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Probably not! Maybe they're going to surprise us.

I still see a lot of nostalgia for the early 2000s. I do see more mid 2000s nostalgia compared to last year, but it's not enough to me.

Whoa really? Even after 10 years, there's already mid 00s nostalgia? That's crazy! :o

Whoa really? Even after 10 years, there's already mid 00s nostalgia? That's crazy! :o


Well, there isn't a lot of mid 2000s nostalgia. Just a bit. It's not that big compared to early 2000s nostalgia.

Well, there isn't a lot of mid 2000s nostalgia. Just a bit. It's not that big compared to early 2000s nostalgia.
Well, it's going to be huge soon. I can possibly see it occurring more by 2020. Early 00s nostalgia though, I know is here to stay for right now.

I've been excited about 2020 for a while now. Been very eager to see the newest innovations in tech and pop culture. It's funny how I see 2020 as this futuristic decade, but by the time we reach 2050 the 2020s will look insanely dated. I wanna hear the music, see the fashion, use the latest tech etc etc

I hope this whole 'dumbed down' culture of the 00's and 10's will go away. People like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, and Kanye West, are popular in the 00's and 10's.

And yes, I'm excited to see what the technology of the 20's will be like, and look like.

Now that you mention celebrities I'm a bit curious on seeing who'll be the next big icons of the 2020s. New people who come up and do some unique/original and set new standards or something.

It's creepy that we're only 3 1/2 years away from 2020, AND the fact that it's 30 years, THIRTY years from 1990. People you remember who were young in the 90's will now be considered as old (just kidding...). Anyways, I don't think 2020 will be futuristic, but I can definitely see the 2020's being the most transitional decade since the 90's. The early 2020's should be an extension of this upcoming late 2010's without a doubt. When it comes to technology, the advancements should become noticeable by the mid or late 2020's.

Yeah, we're going to be hoverboards, VRs, teleports, etc.

Well there's a few in mind. Some of the celebrities from today will be popular in the next decade especially those who are currently in the teen sitcom shows.

I know right? Damn, even 2000 will be 20 years old by then and I remember that year like crazy. It's also amazing how some of us will be preparing for our high school reunions and will be closer to 30 as well ;D :o. This decade just went very quickly in 6 years :o

But there still won't be any flying cars, unless they're secretly being made now 😛


But we got hoverboards.

The fact that it's gonna be thirty years since 1990 passed in 2020 is really weird. I could remember in the 2000s, I could tell the 70s were really old, even for 30 years. But seeing the early 90s as almost 30 years, it's really just seems like time's going fast.

But there still won't be any flying cars, unless they're secretly being made now 😛


I don't think flying cars will ever take off, at least in the next 100 years, because governments won't probably allow flying cars to become mainstream. We mostly likely going to get self driving cars powered by alternative fuel instead.


Yeah, we're going to be hoverboards, VRs, teleports, etc.


Plus, 5G phones, 9th gen consoles, 4K TVs, etc.

Self driving cars will be really common by then, maybe 20% of cars on the road. Home automation will be more common too.

I agree, I can easily see electric cars or solar powered cars taking over long before flying cars become the mainstream. Automatic driving cars (which I don't feel 100% comfortable with personally) are already on it's way.

The early 2020s will probably be the last time some of us see these things:

Yeah, a lot of the things that were a part of 2010s culture will fade by the end of the 2010s or early 2020s. A bunch of new tech, fashion, memes etc will take their place.

It's creepy that we're only 3 1/2 years away from 2020, AND the fact that it's 30 years, THIRTY years from 1990.

Just you wait until we actually reach 2020 and realize that the 2010s would've started 10 years prior. Meaning you've aged 10 years. 1990 would've been 30 years, 2000 is 20, and 2010 becomes 10. All 2010s born would be 1-10, 2000s born 11-20, 1990s born 21-30, 1980s born 31-40, and 1970s born 41-50. My youngest sibling gonna be about 4 once we reach 2020 while one of the oldest of the younger siblings will be 12 by 2020 (born 2008). Time flies on by.

It sure does. I still can't believe how this decade went so fast. Just wait to we get to the 2020 election. It's gonna be epic.

It's definitely going to be crazy when 2010 hits 10 years old just like when 2000 was 10 back in 2010!!!! :o :o

Then, the new tech, fashion, and memes of the 2020s will fade by the very end of the 2030s and we'll be a lot closer to the hologram age.

MAN! Within just another 4 years and we'd already be back into another election. We're not even finished with this one yet! 2010s so far felt the fastest. Time just flies by. By 2020 I'd look back on 2010 and be surprised to see all the things that changed since then.

1. Wow, the hologram technologies of the near future will make things made in the 2010's look vintage.
2. Elections happen every 4 years and it's been like that for a long time. I do like how time flies all the time.

By 2020 I'd look back on 2010 and be surprised to see all the things that changed since then.


2011 will even be dated in 2020. The 2020s will be the day and age of mainstream '90s nostalgia, robots replacing even more workers, and Meghan Trainor becoming a mega superstar.

It'll be a decade with a name, finally. Instead of guessing of a name, like for the 00's and 10's, the 20's will have a more solid name, the two thousand twenties.  :)

That's the weirdest thing to me. As strange as it is to think about 2000 being 20 years ago, I honestly can't even fathom any year in the 1990's being 30 years old.

As a kid, I remember watching shows that were 30 years old back then (like Bewitched, The Munsters, The Andy Griffith Show, etc.) and thinking about how long ago the '60s seemed. Imagining kids in the next decade watching stuff like Seinfeld, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air or Family Matters and feeling the same way about the '90s is just bizarre! :o

Twenty Twenties is how I pronounce it. All '00s decades use a different name. 1900 was pronounced as "Nineteen Hundred" while 1910s was called the "Nineteen Tens". In the '00s for the 21st century the 2000s is called the "Two Thousands", but I remember someone calling it the "Twenty Hundreds" a few times before. As for the 2010s I mainly here "Twenty Tens", but I'd also hear "Two Thousand Tens".

Kids will see '90s things and think that those things are insanely old and outdated. Heck to kids nowadays most of the '00s will be seen as old.

2011 will even be dated in 2020. The 2020s will be the day and age of mainstream '90s nostalgia, robots replacing even more workers, and Meghan Trainor becoming a mega superstar.

Oh snap. Wait wait wait robots replacing workers? Ohh nooo...  :( Last thing we need is more unemployment around these parts. But yeah I can see the early 2010s being dated by 2020. I mean as of 2016 it's easy to spot the differences from 2010 and 2011 when comparing them to 2016. By 2020 those years will look pretty dated.



1. Wow, the hologram technologies of the near future will make things made in the 2010's look vintage.
2. Elections happen every 4 years and it's been like that for a long time. I do like how time flies all the time.


The innovations tech wise in the 2020s will instantly make the 2010s look old. Holograms being more advance, Virtual Reality being used more, Cybernetic limps may become common (we already have them as of 2016), self driving cars, Machines can now make 3D printed food etc etc

Yeah, I know the election happens every 4 years. I'm just surprised as you are on how fast time flies. It felt like we've been in the 2010s for a long time, but when I look at my time in this decade I'm surprised by how much as changed since 2010. 2017 is right around the corner.

I don't think flying cars will ever take off, at least in the next 100 years, because governments won't probably allow flying cars to become mainstream. We mostly likely going to get self driving cars powered by alternative fuel instead.

Plus, 5G phones, 9th gen consoles, 4K TVs, etc.

How many times do I have to get people to understand this.  ;D In society, only from 2000-2009 people pronounced the year as "two thousand and ......", however, since 2010 and probably on to the rest of this century, it will always be pronounced as "twenty ....." So yes, it's "twenty twenty". We're in "twenty sixteen" right now. "twenty ten" was six years ago. "two thousand and nine" was seven years ago. "twenty thirteen" was three years ago. "twenty twenty two" is six years from now. "two thousand and two" was fourteen years ago.

Due to wanting to be consistent I don't even say "Two thousand and two" anymore. I just say "Twenty oh two" (20-02). Like how people in the 20th century called it "Nineteen oh two" (19-02). Don't like having to change the pronounciation whenever I'm talking about a certain year number. So I just say "Twenty..." for all years 20-01 onward.

There are only a few people who says the 2000s as "twenty-oh-*". I only remember hearing one person calling 2005 as "twenty-oh-five" and that's about it.

I just find saying "two thousand and nine" for 2009 and then "Twenty ten" for 2010 to be just plain weird. Guess I'm that odd man out. Oh well. "Twenty oh.." is my forever used pronunciation format until we reach 2099.

can't afford it.

can't afford it.


Gonna run a campaign to drop the prices on hover boards.  >:(

Kids will see '90s things and think that those things are insanely old and outdated.


Have you seen the last seasons of Dance Party USA, Charles in Charge, Funhouse, Teen Win, Lose, or Draw, Superboy, The New Lassie, My Secret Identity, and Out of this World from the early '90s?  :o

Have you seen the last seasons of Dance Party USA, Charles in Charge, Funhouse, Teen Win, Lose, or Draw, Superboy, The New Lassie, My Secret Identity, and Out of this World from the early '90s?


Not all the shows you've mentioned. I did see Dance Party USA, Funhouse, and Teen Win. All are pretty distant from the things you nowadays.

I think that 90's nostalgia should have waited until 2020. But that's just me.

Twenty Twenties is how I pronounce it. All '00s decades use a different name. 1900 was pronounced as "Nineteen Hundred" while 1910s was called the "Nineteen Tens". In the '00s for the 21st century the 2000s is called the "Two Thousands", but I remember someone calling it the "Twenty Hundreds" a few times before. As for the 2010s I mainly here "Twenty Tens", but I'd also hear "Two Thousand Tens".


I'll just call it the twenties.  :)

Imagining kids in the next decade watching stuff like Seinfeld, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air or Family Matters and feeling the same way about the '90s is just bizarre! :o


Could you imagine anyone wearing these clothes in this time:

Hopefully it won't suck. When it comes to technology, I'd like to see some true advancements and not the same old repetitive, trend technology of the 2010s. Some of the stuff I'd like to see would be hoverboards, VR (perfected, that is), more cars powered by alternative methods (such as electric and solar powered cars), teleportation (possibly), etc. When it comes to entertainment, people really need to step it up in the 2020s. The current state of the entertainment industry is just unacceptable. Movies, T.V. shows, music, video games, etc., all need to start appealing to people with a wide variety of tastes. Everything feels too homogenized right now. For example, in the 2010s, if you're not into serialized dramas, you will probably not like many of today's T.V. shows. If you're not a fan of generic shooting games, you will not like today's video games. And of course there's music. If you're a rock fan (or even a fan of true electronica) in the 2010s, then this decade's music is truly painful. We need to go back to the days where there was something for everyone to enjoy, so that everyone's tastes are represented. It's all about creating a balance.

I hope there are no revivals...please!  :-\\ I do not like revivals. The 2020's should have a pop culture all it's own, like the '90s did. The '80s have been revived too many times and that's what nearly happened with the '90s. I mean it's ok to play music and bring back some fads from the past, but to try and make it a previous decade all over again is ridiculous. Anyway, I wish to do it all in 2020. I'm thinking more instrumentals coming from the music industry that year. Let's hope!

Feel the same way. The 2010s is annoying as everyone has this dumb obsession with bringing back the 1980s and 1990s. If there is one thing I'm happy about with the new generation is that due to them being so young the idea of reviving the 1980s and 1990s will die out. Although I'd expect a 2000s revival to come soon enough.  :-\\

I agree, we need new culture, not rehash old ones. I just hope that the people in Hollywood, behind the scenes, are unconsciously, or consciously, saving their best cards, and creative genius, for the 2020's. It's like the people in the music industry, and movie industry, planned for the 00's and 10's to be culturally horrible, or something.

Guess people in hollywood are obsessed with the past. Add that to the fact that there are too many people in this world who're also stuck in their old past nostalgia. Add to the two together and you got yourself a decade's worth of nostalgia pandering products that're made to appeal to the kids of 20th century. Was cool at first, but it's gotten out of hand.

Like mentioned there are already early 2000s nostalgia coming back. With fashion and even in movies such as Finding Dory which is a sequel to the 2003 Finding Nemo. Also getting an Incredibles 2 from Pixar as well. I'm fine with 2000s nostalgia as long as it isn't taken too far like how it was during the 1990s-2010s. But I guess revivals will keep on happening no matter what. Oh well.  :-\\

1920s REVIVAL PLEASE  :D


No I don't think soooo! Lol


That would be weird.  :(

Hey if it means the revival of Jazz then I'm all up for it.  8) 

1920s REVIVAL PLEASE  :D


That won't happen anytime soon.

Besides a 2000s revival I'm excited to see what unique pop culture the '20s will have. For the love of all things xtreme I hope pop culture is upbeat and lively. Getting sick of all this mellow drama and emotional stuff that exists within these dark times (okay this is an exaggeration, but still....).

Hey if it means the revival of Jazz then I'm all up for it.  8)


Modern jazz mixed with hip hop, and with a current sound.  :)

I think that's Electro Swing (Mixing Jazz with EDM, House, and Hip Hop). But then again I'd love for Electro Swing to become more popular.

Can't get enough of Electro Swing, but Jazz just doesn't seem to interest people anymore. Don't know what happen. Last time Jazz was ever popular was during the Swing Revival (1998-2001). But that was 15+ years ago. Hopefully we'd see a Jazz revival in 2020-2029.

2020s needs more of this

Absolutely. With the exception of GTA V, I think that video games have become way too simplified (e.g. Saints Row 3 from its previous games; DOOM, which lacks the horror element).

The "hoverboards" we have are a poor excuse. Can't ride them anywhere. I would like to see us phasing out fossil fuels and recycling more. Teleportation to me is a little far-fetched.

TV feels a little boring to me now (e.g. Doctor Who since Matt Smith, as there were much fewer companions and it overall felt less compelling probably as a result of fewer companions and the lack of other characters in its settings, and with more frequent transitions between the doctors), although I have the Web to be thankful for.

There hasn't been a lot of rock music that has tickled my tastes as well. The entire culture of this decade lacks that edginess/badass feel that the 2000s had. I feel like I'm living in the dream world of some Republican from the 1960s, but minus the racism and the homophobia, or that of a hippy minus the long hair and plus the tobacco.

I also really hate 2010s fashion. Too many thin clothes, and, come on, are we living in the 50s? Why don't we make long hair on guys more popular, and not that stupid quiff haircut?

Basically, gimme back 2000s culture, music and fashion, but with less hate towards each other. Gimme car-free cities and more dependence on alternative fuels. Also, gimme flying cars and actual hoverboards, but those are less of a priority.

Especially when video games nowadays are just really boring and repetitive. The only interesting console games that you could go play is GTA V, Mafia II & III, and Mortal Kombat X. It's one of the reasons why PC gaming would slowly take over the video game industry, while console gaming would become a minority in the near future.

The hoverboards were just awful. I don't know why would people believe that stuff from Back to the Future II would actually become real? They didn't even have DVDs in 1989 (the year Back In The Future II was released), so it just seems technologically impossible to have hoverboards, automatic shoes, and other bullcrap to exist in 2015.

At least with the Web, you don't have to watch so many godawful commercials mixed with overrated TV shows.

I feel like it's more liberal than conservative that this decade has. I mean, we have a half-black president in the US, more feminism, and other sorts of stuff that relates to civil rights in this decade.

I also really hate 2010s fashion. Too many thin clothes, and, come on, are we living in the 50s? Why don't we make long hair on guys more popular, and not that stupid quiff haircut?

Dunno, but PC gaming may cease to exist because of this: http://www.pcworld.com/article/3058837/components/as-intel-shifts-its-focus-to-the-cloud-it-commands-its-pc-products-to-fightor-die.html

AMD may seem the lesser of two evils; they make CPUs for consoles, but the most mobile they've been is laptop CPUs, and most people who want AMD CPUs are poor gamers and those who work with encryption. Meanwhile, Intel has CPUs in a handful of Android phones and tablets.

We'll have mobile games to replace them *shudders*, if Intel gets their way.

If that's the case, then gaming would certainly be doomed. I should really feel sorry for today's kids, since they don't have a lot of time to have a prosperous future of playing their favorite games. Whether it's on any console or a PC.

I wonder if jazz will ever come back?


Depends on if we can have some big Jazz celebrities. None of the current ones seem to do Jazz which annoys me. They all into their pop and rap.

All that innovation thrown away, like with what I said with Volition Inc and their newer Saints Row games.

Meh.

Cartoons in the 2000s had an anime-esque aesthetic to it. Even the emo hairstyle might have been influenced by it.

Well, they wouldn't be that relevant once mobile gaming becomes more seen in the industry, while console and PC gaming are just minorities.

I guess it's because anime was really popular back then. Especially when 4Kids, Funimation, and other Americanized anime companies were booming during the decade.

Notice the music of that decade? It was both somewhat mainstream and in the theme tunes of the cartoons or in its soundtracks at least.

1. I don't think mobile gaming will completely replace traditional console gaming in the near future. I was hoping one day that video game developers stop doing DLCs and season passes and make 100% complete games again.
2. I hope anime comes back in the 2020's. That would be awesome!

Why should we go back to the past with car-free cities, when we been driving cars for over 100 years? Unlikely to happen.

I'm waiting for NVIDIA to include Saints Row 2 to GameStream (if ever). I think gaming will go that way instead even though there's no competition to this model. I see DLCs as another way of publishers and developers asserting their rights to that game, and streaming kind of does also, esp. for music and films. Note that only rich people like us will only benefit from it in addition to the DLCs business. Overall, I want to see copyright reform soon, and full games for cheap or free.
The cartoons I watched weren't exactly anime, but had that aesthetic and a lot of rock/electronic music, e.g. W.I.T.C.H., Ben 10, Teen Titans.
Why should we go back to the past with car-free cities, when we been driving cars for over 100 years? Unlikely to happen.

To save the planet, but then again, North Korea is strictly car-free for most of its citizens. There's freedom in car ownership, but a high cost.

That won't happen anytime soon.


Made me laugh!

Pretty much anybody would do that soon in the future.

Yeah, that would make the 2020s a much better decade. As for the teleportation thing, it may be a bit far-fetched for the 2020s, but perhaps it'll catch on sometime in the 2030s or 2040s.

I didn't expect teleportation until the 22nd-24th centuries. I'll see you all within the next few hundred years. 

There will be something better as time goes on.
Yeah, there will be, but for now those Beats are here and popular.

Oh. It will. It might not be popular as it was back in the 00s, but there's a huge fanbase :)

Uhhh, I don't know. It could first happen later this century. In the early 20th century, there were almost essentially no cars; however, towards the end they were everywhere!

Cars and teleportation can't be compared. Cars are tangible machines that provide transportation. They only involve the person getting inside and operating it. Teleportation literally involves ripping the atoms from something and shooting it to another location while then proceeding to put the atoms back together (and who knows if the person/thing would be put back together correctly). Getting something like this right won't be as easy as building a car (which can already be challenging). And even if some form of teleportation exists within the 21st I doubt it'd even be safe to use. But we shall see.

2020? Perhaps the year will give us a clearer vision to the future?

Teleportation would provide a lot of benefits. Heck I'm not even sure if people would use cars as much. Besides teleportation I'm also interested in intergalactic space travel. I'm not sure if it'll happen in 2020, but hey maybe in 2120.

Hm, I think that every area will have a teleport station. So when you activate your teleportation device you set it to where you'd end up at the teleport station. Do maybe the place you work would have it placed somewhere outside the building or within the front area.

I think so.

Here are my predictions for 2020:

1. Trap rap will be gone by this point and hip hop will just fall into dormancy, only still popular by die-hard fans. Non-rap influenced R&B will become popular again.
2. Electropop will fall into dormancy and most kinds of popular music will not be electronic influenced throughout the 2020's.
3. Most forms of rock music will become popular again throughout the 2020's.
4. Emoji/Selfie culture will be gone by the year 2020.
5. The last games in the Battlefield and Call of Duty series is released, signaling the end of FPS dominance in the 7th and 8th gens.
6. Tattoos will fade into obscurity and tattoo removal becomes popular among the mainstream population.
7. We could see a new technological invention sometime in the 2020's. Maybe a few.

A lot of this is wishful thinking by you  ;D

Half of this isn't going away anytime soon!  ;)

Some is going to stay forever due to becoming more popular or accepted every year, and some pop culture aren't going to ever be the same as it used to be back in the 90's or 2000's.

Yeah, a lot of the things that were a part of 2010s culture will fade by the end of the 2010s or early 2020s. A bunch of new tech, fashion, memes etc will take their place.


That would be nice, but I have a feeling that 2020-21 will still be thought of as "years of the 2010s" by society in the future.

Why do people hate emojis? It's just like 90s/2000s emoticons, except they're universal across all platforms 😕

Why do people hate emojis? It's just like 90s/2000s emoticons, except they're universal across all platforms 😕


I guess it's just that emojis are more corporate than emoticons ever were. The fact that there are advertisements for emojis on YouTube and even a friggin' motion picture based on them just causes them to come off as more pretentious to a lot of people. I personally like that there's such a broad range of emojis to choose from, including lesbian-related ones (<3), but the fact that executives are milking them in the same way they've milked the Despicable Me Minions this decade shows just how shallow capitalism can be these days.

I envy the fact that the Japanese were the first to come up with emojis, just like how I envy quite a lot of stuff from them. It's quite annoying that you can't see them unless you have specific fonts and browsers installed on desktop computers.

Not to mention that they keep having people making them look obnoxious, which is why I barely use them on my phone.

It sucks that I couldn't see them on Windows 7, because the OS was made before the rise of emojis. So I had to upgrade to Windows 10, since they're goddamn everywhere.

Could have installed Firefox instead. Mozilla has their own emoji character set.

Here are my predictions for 2020:

1. Trap rap will be gone by this point and hip hop will just fall into dormancy, only still popular by die-hard fans. Non-rap influenced R&B will become popular again.
2. Electropop will fall into dormancy and most kinds of popular music will not be electronic influenced throughout the 2020's.
3. Most forms of rock music will become popular again throughout the 2020's.
4. Emoji/Selfie culture will be gone by the year 2020.
5. The last games in the Battlefield and Call of Duty series is released, signaling the end of FPS dominance in the 7th and 8th gens.
6. Tattoos will fade into obscurity and tattoo removal becomes popular among the mainstream population.
7. We could see a new technological invention sometime in the 2020's. Maybe a few.


I think this will stay.

I can only wish. I hope the next dominant game genre is more feature rich, like Saints Row 2 and Sims 2.
I'd like to celebrate the death of trap and bland music, but I don't know in what way.

I think you should celebrate by listening to your favorite song. That would be great.

People are too obsessed with shooting things. So the plague known as Call of Duty and Battlefield will be popular till the ends of time. #7 makes sense, but then again it's a given. Technology always improves. And the rest may be seen as wishful thinking.

With the VR craze happening at the moment I wonder if there will be Virtual Reality movies and tv shows. For example you could put on a set of goggles and next thing you know you're within the world of the next Dreamworks or Pixar movie. Heck you could probably see the world through one of the character's eyes. I'd pay for that.

Yeah. I hope it will also kill off MOBAs and the similar genre that's dominant on mobile (Clash of Clans clones).

Even when I had Firefox on Windows 7, it could only see the emojis as text. Now that I have Windows 10, I could pretty much see everyone's emojis as colorful.

Well I'm not sure if VR will have much effect on MOBAs.....unless we end up with VR MOBAs. Competitive games will always be popular. It's why FPSs and MOBAs seem to be everywhere.

Although I do think that VR FPS games will be awesome.

I'm tempted to say "Not like Saints Row 2? Not important", but I just remembered I had some excitement for DOOM (partly due to its soundtrack) which is a first person shooter that lacks features and customisation compared to Saints Row 2, and VR is in its early stages.

One thing I would like to see is improved character movement; of course, you can walk around on a bit of space, but since it's quite limited due to (currently) the cables you're tied down to, the way they have movement in Hot Dogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades is quite artificial where you teleport to a short distance by pointing to a place you want to go to.

Reminds me of TV shows and movies which depicted moon bases by the 1980s and manned space travel beyond the moon by the start of the twenty-first century.

Also, we'll probably have to deal with limits to growth first:

I'd like to see that.

Yeaaahhhhh, VR certainly needs its improvements. But then again we can easily classify the present day as the early era of mainstream of VR technology. Within the mid 21st century when we're all in our 50-70s I'm sure VR won't be as limited.

I hope 2020s culture will be so good that it makes 2010s culture easy to forget.

This. I hope this decade is backlashed against even more so than the 80s was in the 90s

I think it will be awesome too :)

I hope so too.

I really can’t wait for 2020 when I finally turn 18 and won’t have to live under my stupid mother’s roof anymore.

I just try to enjoy my youth while it lasts. You should too.

I can't wait for 2020. I will graduate from HS in June of 2020 and will very likely be living in a different country by the end of it :D.
I really hope culture will have changed by then, but it's only 2 years from now and everything's still the same 8-P.

If you move to another country you can literally move to another culture lol.

I am very excited for 2020! I will be 17

I'm very optimistic about the 2020s. Hope to see some cool changes.

I agree with these points. I do believe non-rap influenced rnb will comeback sometime in the 2020s.

I will be 16!
I wonder how great it will be to be a teen in the Early 2020s.

If you move to another country you can literally move to another culture lol.

lmao true

2020 sounds so cool to prononce. Fun fact: it will be the last time this century we'll see a symmetrical/mirrored looking year. Last time was 2002.

I hope we'll see a comeback of the new year's glasses from the 2000s ;D
