The Star Wars Generation
Children who grew up with the epic science fantasy film franchise Star Wars (mainly 1980s kids that is).
I'm part of the Star Wars generation. I remember back as a kid there were Star Wars toys and games everwhere and people were really obsessed with the film.

2000s
Honestly a pretty overhated decade. It is a time where the internet and social media started getting more advanced and mainstream but weren't as prominent as they were during the 2010s decade. It was also a time where many famous events happened such as:
9/11, the War on Terror, the election of Barack Obama (the first black American president), the 2007-8 finanical crisis, the rise of many famous websites such as Facebook, Wikipedia, YouTube, etc., Saddam Hussein captured, the Y2K crisis, the release of many famous devices such as the iPod, Kindle, Blaclberry, Android, etc., and much, much more.
Then there's the media. Some are mixed about it but most consider the media to actually be pretty good. This was when many iconic movies, shows and video games came out.
Movies such as The Dark Knight, Shrek, Cast Away, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Monster's Inc., Finding Nemo, No Country For Old Men, and so on.
Shows such as The Office, The Sopranos, Doctor Who, SpongeBob SquarePants, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Malcolm in the Middle and so on.
Games such as God of War, Gradn Theft Auto: San Andreas, Half-Life 2, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, Portal and so on.
The ironic thing is that those who grew up in the 2000s complained about them and said it was a terrible decade. Now as of this year they all look back on the 2000s and say they were a much simpler and fun time.

Person 1: Man I miss the 2000s. They were a much more innocent time don't you agree?
Person 2: Uh, if I can remember 10 years ago you told me that you hated growing up in the 2000s.
Person 1: Really? I said that years ago?
Person 2: Yep. Now it seems like you and everyone else who didn't like the decade are now starting to feel all nostalgic about it since you guys constantly complain abiut the 2010s.
Person 1: Huh. Well I guess you should never say it can't get worse. At first I thought last decade was bad, but then the 2010s came and it was a lot, lot worse. Besides, maybe I was too hard on the past decade (hey at least people weren't overly obsessed with the internet so much and they actually talked to each other in person without a phone).

The Song of Ice & Fire Generation
Basically people (mainly 2010s adults, not kids) who grew up watching the hit TV show Game of Thrones (adapted from George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice & Fire series). They would normally cosplay as the characters or play games based on the series. They would also attend the Ice and Fire Con which celebrates the series as well as the show itself.
As a hardcore fan of Game of Thrones, I'm proudly part of the Song of Ice & Fire generation. Never have I seen an American fantasy show leave that much of an impact on our culture.

Decade Delusion
Basically anyone (mostly 1980s and 90s kids but not all of them) who deludes themselves and thinks that the past decades they grew up in were a lot better than the current decade they live in now despite a lot bad stuff still happening in those past decades.
90s kid: I hate today! I miss the late 20th century so much! 80s and 90s forever!
2000s kid: When will you overnostalgic people learn that EVERY decade has bad things happen in them? Were you not old enough to notice the AIDS epidemic, the Lockerbie bombing or the eruption of Mount St. Helens which killed 57 people?
Or how about in the 90s if you were even aware of the Bill Clinton sexual misconduct allegations, the suicide of Kurt Cobain, the Columbine shooting, the Oklahoma city bombing or the rise of teen pregnancy?
90s kid: Yeah, but the music back then was SO much better!
2000s kid: At least I grew up in a time where I was able to access my favorite songs and albums faster thanks to the internet. I swear most of you 80s and 90s kids suffer from a serious case of decade delusion.

The Lord of the Rings Generation
People who grew up with the Lord of the Rings books and movies (mainly the Peter Jackson film trilogy. The original series was first published in the 1950s but started to become more of a worldwide phenomenon in the 200os thanks to the film adaptations being released. That's when more people started getting into it and loving it ever since).
I was 13 years old when The Fellowship of the Ring was first released back in the early 2000s. I'm a proud member of the Lord of the Rings generation.

2000s Kid
Basically a kid who grew up in the 2000s decade. 2000s kids are generally born around the late 1990s to late 2000s (1997-2009).
I was born in 1998, but I'm a 2000s kid. Sure I may have been born in the 90s but I spent most of my childhood in the 2000s (I may technically be a 90s kid but just very barely).

Decade Fandom
Anyone who is a fan of a particular decade (whether it be the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s or 2000s). This is mostly for nostalgic reasons.
One of the most notable decade fandoms are the 90s kids. But also one of the most annoying considering how they delude themselves and think that the 90s were absolutely flawless.
