The 2010s 

The second decade of the 21st century, lasting between 2010 and 2019.

There were certainly a lot of problems with this era (specifically its latter half), particularly regarding political divisiveness and the oversaturation of "pop politics" in general. However, while these issues could rarely be totally avoided, at the end of the day they were easy to distract yourself from if you prioritized living your life.

By contrast, the 2020s thus far have been characterized by a global pandemic and its effects on our lives. Unlike the issues found in the 2010s, these ones are nearly impossible to avoid due to the fact that most of the resources we utilized in the 2010s to live our lives either ended temporarily or permanently, or became associated with danger and recklessness.

While the 2010s were a highly imperfect decade, they were very liveable and generally had more positives than negatives, especially compared with the 2020s so far. As such, the 2010s will for a long time be seen as the last decade of comfort and normalcy.

Back in the 2010s I could go to restaurants, events, etc. to make myself feel better if life got too overwhelming. In 2020 most of these resources didn't exist, and even now they are less accessible and less associated with relaxation than they were in the 2010s.

The Crisis of the 2010s 

A decade where it seemed everyone’s favorite artists, actors, and influencers, either screwed everything up or died.
Examples include Juice WRLD, XXXTENTACION, and Cameron Boyce

*conversation in the 2020s*
Remember the crisis of the 2010s, I still miss those guys.

The 2000s 

The last good decade before everything went to complete shit.

The 2000s were the last good decade.

The 2000s 

The era before everything else that was the peak of humanity. Even though it was covered in toxic people and somewhat lazy and creepy media, it was way more creative than these newer decades.

Ahhhh.... The 2000s... I wish the kids of today would see the effort people put into their stuff.

The 2000s 

The decade sitting between the 1990s and the 2010s (2000 to 2009).

A time where women would wear low-rise jeans and Paris Hilton’s famous catchphrase "That's hot" was just born. Spilling over into the new millennium Hip-Hop culture was thriving and it was MTV’s last wave of playing music videos. It the era of the flip phone and iPod while teenagers were roaming on MySpace and communicating through AIM as they illegally downloaded music. Reality TV was just getting started and Youtube was just introduced as it gained momentum.

The 2000s were the complete opposite of the 1990s in terms of fashion, music, and culture. It was a time where it was cool to be cool. A time where subtlety did not exist. Currently, the 00s is a forgotten decade that is soon to be classified as a part of nostalgia just like the 80s and 90s.

I miss the 2000s, it was the coolest time to be alive. The 2010s were nothing compared to it.

The 2020s 

The 2020s are the current decade, as of writing. They have generally been a rough time for humanity, defined by war, disease, political division, and the rise of generative AI.

We are living through the 2020s. As of when I am writing this, Wednesday, July 9th, 2025, we are living closer to the 2030s than we are to the 2010s.
