A decade is a long time

Yes, it's so quaint to hear of young people who feel a decade is a long time. Hahahahahaha. In less than two more, they'll be watching the decades FLY by.

Of course, my particularly addled mind doesn't really recall 1999 all that well. I think a lot happened in the, for lack of a better term, MillenniO's ... but culturally was a wash. That's not to say that cultural technology was a wash ... there's been amazing progress and touchstones in that arena. But style, fashion, music, and pop culture seems ... admittedly without the benefit of hindsight ... to have no super-discerning qualities such as typically characterized all but the final decade of the 20th Century.

Is the new millennium the age of MEH?
