Usually at the end of each decade there is a monumental New Years Celebration and a feeling left behind of what life was like in the recently passing decade.
It certainly was that way from the 70's into the 80's. From the 80's into the 90's, and from the 90's into the 00's.
All had sort of monumental decade ending feelings of nostalgia...
But I just realized that the first decade of the new century, the 00's ended LAST year at the end of 2009. The first decade of the new century ended without any sort of fanfare or remembrance besides being the worst financial collapse in the country's history and a time of paranoid war on terror and loss of civil rights.
Where as we had specific styles of music and clothing and automobiles in all of the previous decades I mentioned, there is nothing notable that happened in this first decade and I guess it will be forever remembered as the decade of Reality Television, War on Terror, and Financial disgrace for this country, and largely the world.
Whatever it will be remembered for, it certainly was devoid of any cultural significance whatsoever.
Good riddance, only I fear that this next decade wont be any better, it'll probably be known as the decade of Twitter, Facebook, Plutocracy, and hopefully, civil unrest to the point of revolution...
The American People slept right through the passing of 10 years...
This is truly a state of sleep...
