I came across this article from the New York Times this week and I wanted to share it with you: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1942834,00.html
In the article they have stated:
« Call it the Decade from Hell, or the Reckoning, or the Decade of Broken Dreams, or the Lost Decade. Call it whatever you want — just give thanks that it is nearly over. »
Since the 1890s each decade has been named:
1890s – Gay Nineties (as in merriment)
1900s – I only found the 1900s, or « The aughts » or « naughts »
1910s – I couldn’t find a name
1920 – Roaring Twenties or Jazz Age
1930s – The Turbulent Thirties or Threadbare Thirties
1940s – The Flying Forties.
1950s – The Fabulous Fifties or the Nifty Fifties
1960s – The Swingin’ Sixties.
1970s – The Disco Era
1980s – The Decade of Decadence or Greedy Eighties
1990s – The Decade of a New Generation
What would you suggest for the 2000s?
