The Decade With No Name - Page 3

Please, one has only to watch an episode of Beverly Hills Teens to see what the 80's was about (cartoon I used to watch, silly stuff)

Of course, the 80's to me was all about punk rock (which was actually a late 70's thing for me in the beginning).

I don't remember the 90's and it's better than way, Decade of Turmoil is what I call it. But, materialism was the social definer.

The millennium decade I DO remember.

But, I think the economic problems are what is going to define it and the return of crafting/hand-made culture will have a sociological impact on the future.

Of course, I'd argue that you have it backwards and that it was the political environment that was driving the pop cultural environment and thus the geopolitical events are the essential mileposts.

But it doesn't really matter.

That's a terrible thing to say about the trannies on this board.

I tend to associate decades' "flavors" more strongly with their political environments than their pop culture. YMMV

So, if the 90s brought us grunge, emo, house, electronica, chill, and other categories I still haven't caught up with, can anyone name a musical style or trend that emerged here in the "naughty aughties?" I hope it isn't just "Disney-tween-pop" that will define this dwindling decade!

It's interesting to me that most recent decades carry with them an immediate mental image, the 50's greaser, 70's Disco, Roaring 20's etc...

But when I think of the last 0's - 1900 to 1910 - Not much comes to mind. Perhaps being dull for the first decade or two is the norm for a new century.
