I have heard it as oughts. Which is the term for zeros.\nIt's a tough one to name, along with the tens. All the other decades are easy.\nI suppose the tens decade might work, but that's not that great. How about the first decade then the second? Then happily we go into the thirties.

It was either 2000 or 2001. I can't remember anymore, but in any case, the time has passed and Nostradamus was wrong.

socially, isnt that subjective? a lot has changed, but whether that's considered progress or decline is debatable. (50's housewives, 60-70s civil rights movement, hippies, etc, 80-90's hair bands and fads etc etc)\n\neconomically, we've been doing the same cycle of highs and lows as the economy is historically known to do, though if you're talking about economic systems and structure of american economy, not too much has changed.\n\ntechnologically speaking of course, there has been plenty of progress, at an exponentially higher rate than ever before.  (medicine, internet, even video games and cars)

The 90's were it mate, to much hip pop hop rubbish at the moment.\nOnly dance music has had a good few years in my eyes.\nLove the 90's man, guitar music was at it's best, lost interest in lots of the music nowadays, even indie and rock stations are crap.\nAnd in the 90's we had a proper little Ska revival, crack on 90's.

I wasn't gonna answer this question, but the more I thought about it, I figured I may as well.  I think the 80s were.  Well.. no... maybe the 60s.  AW HELL I don't like this question.  I say the 60s for breaking down the racial wall.  (Not that they were fun times, at all, but the strength of those fighting was amazing and did wonders for society today).  But in the 80s we realized that we are a united country that can fight for hunger and sickness. Remember when AIDS came out?? Suddenly musicians took a stand to do more with their money than spend it on parachute pants and cases of hairspray. It was a time when the nation came together with Hands Across America and Live Aid, etc etc etc.  Kids in my school started focusing on world news, instead of highschool ball scores. We had presidents shot at, a Beatle was murdered, space shuttles exploded, Russia toke their finger off the button, gays and lesbians were coming out all over the place and fighting for their equallity.  Microwaves became a household product. Didn't viagra hit the market in the late 80s? lol  It was a year of eye opening things. Maybe not a technological boom, as much as a psychological boom.  Shrinks were less shunned upon. Divorces were no longer taboo. Massive hurricanes hit the coast, and I personally saw neighborhoods becoming one family- taking care of each other like none before.  Limits were being put on music and euthanasia issues hit the scene when a girl named Teri Shaivo was in coma, and her parents wanted to keep her alive, while her husband wanted to pull the plug.  Walls fell in Germany. The 80s really influenced the way I saw the world.  It seemed almost like the decade pulled many countries closer together so our people and their people could hug. I'm not sure what happened in the 90s, and I'm not so sure the 2000-2010 decade will be much better.

I think you mean culturally like how we viewed Eisenhower in the 50s and the early part of Kennedy,\n\nI would view the 90s in this way.  This is the era before the GWOT (war on terror) just like Eisenhower and Kennedy was just before vietnam.

The best decade is always going to be the decade you grew up in. Mine was between the 80's and 90's because this when I was growing up. Many songs of this era are important to me because they were my companions during my awkward years. I'm sure some out there know what I'm talking about.
