Previous to the year 2000, decades were widely known and called by the 60's, 70's etc. They came to define a particular time, attitudes, fashion, music etc. But, for the past 20 years, we've lived in a kind of cultural wilderness. The "noughties" and whatever this decade is called (2010's?) never attained the popularity and more importantly the emotions, nostalgia and feel for the decades that the 20th Century elicit.
But now, at last, we're going to come out of this cultural wilderness. We're about to enter the 20's! At last we're going to be grounded in an era that has a universal name with the associated feelings and place in history that will be engendered.
