Nobody mentioned Tinder? Definitely a "social event". In generations to come, think of all the couples telling their grandchildren how they met on Tinder.

Yeah, the grandchildren from one of multiple partners if that's the case.

The 2010s will be remembered for the decade that started us on the path to 1984 (Orwells 1984).

Tech this, Smart that. By the time people cop on it will be too late.

Era of Faux Outrage, where egomaniacs pretend to give a **** just so they can feel good about themselves, when in reality they contribute absolutely nothing.

The decade of laziness. When 'journalists' stopped writing articles and started compiling tweets to make a story.

When 'Musicians' became too lazy to even program a drum machine.

For climate change,

Yeah 2014 when the climate changed - never forget.

Hold on - maybe I'm getting mixed up with that Mayan calendar thing.

All that chicken licken stuff - it's hard to keep up.

In early 2009, Facebook had 190m active user accounts worldwide. Today it has 2.4b

It shall be known as the Decade of Darkness, the Years of Yearning and the "Great Trembling".

No one shall be permitted to speak of it. All content and information of it shall be wiped from the Internet. Those who survive next year will make a blood pact to never speak of the real truth for generations to come. Those who do slip up will quietly be taken away to an underground cavern and administered a painless but lethal drug so they may hold their tongues forever. The world will slowly move on, recover and build itself anew.

Or Trump will press the button and the world will explode and everyone will die. The End.

Deebles McBeebles · 11-03-2019 1:10pm

The 2010's; that time we still thought we had a chance to save the gaff.
The 2020's; that time when all the animals died.

This decade I will mostly be offended by everything and anything by some randomer online.
And at the same time barely bat an eyelid when a kid gets stabbed while spending some time with her mates in a park.

Wheres the moral compass and how can I reset it.

The decade Britain ate itself

janfebmar · 12-03-2019 10:28pm

Maybe it will be remembered as the decade the UK escaped from the E.U. and got its freedom and independence back. And the 20's will be when the EU, like the Soviet Union did in its day, fell apart.

janfebmar · 12-03-2019 11:24pm

Well, nobody expected the Soviet Union to fall apart, and some countries to break away from the core.

And with a new EU army already being planned by the likes of Germany and France, it will be interesting to see how the 2010's will be remembered.

riclad · 12-03-2019 11:27pm

It,ll be remembered as the time social media and smartphone apps took off , people take selfies, people go for meal and look at their phones, privacey is nearly obsolete ,at any social function or party
people take photographs .IF you go to a wedding your photo will be on facebook ,even if you never use it.
i Think its the decade of information overload,
we have acess to more media or data then we can usefully understand.
Yes ,theres a few journalists who just make storys out of
tweets and random images on social media .
I,m not an expert but i read we maybe have 10 years left to safe the planet In terms of stopping global warming and rising sea levels .
I think its a tough time for young people , theres loads of jobs going,
but rents are going up, its getting harder to buy a house.
if things do not get better i think the birth rate will go down.
People are getting married later .
There seems to be no sign of a solution to the homeless crisis .

The number of low post accounts whinging about the EU, immigration, climate change not being real etc. has gotten really high. I spent a bit of time away from AH, so maybe it was a gradual thing or was it a sudden thing? Maybe there are more 'grumpy old folk' stereotypes about.

SharpshooterTom · 13-03-2019 10:00pm

If 'woke' politics has dominated this decade I wonder what the political climate will be like next decade?

SharpshooterTom · 01-01-2020 1:47am

Well that's the 2010s officially over.

New decade begins. :cool:

So back to the original OP.

Beards.
Tight jeans.
No socks.
Climate change.

01-01-2020 2:28am

For me the 10s was a decade when I just got older and achieved nothing.
Internationally, it will be remembered for Trump and Brexit.
In Ireland it will be remembered as the decade that finished with NI having more nationalist than unionist MPs.

tiktoktoegirl · 01-01-2020 2:29am

hopefully it won’t be remembered

Posy · 01-01-2020 3:20am

The big snow of 2018. So many bread memes.

ILoveYourVibes · 01-01-2020 3:49am

The decade where the crash made everyone realize law and govt policy affect them daily and made people very political.

dd973 · 01-01-2020 4:23am

Nothings really happened, especially culturally, if you were born in 1996 there'd be music from then which could come out now and you wouldn't know the difference as a 23 year old, I was born in 72 and in 1996 it was massively different.

I don't think this is true..with music especially, I think harmonically and structurally music has changed significantly..It being written on computers has not helped..(It hasn't gotten better..)

But yeah, I don't actually want to remember the last decade..

Lougarden · 01-01-2020 4:47am

Looking forward to 2020. I think the tens passed by me due to age and looking after others up and coming or on the other side. ...
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

s7ryf3925pivug · 01-01-2020 4:48am

Hopefully very badly. Otherwise it will mean things didn't improve afterwards.

arcticmonkeys · 01-01-2020 9:48am

The decade which officaly killed the Internet thanks largely through the rise of social media.

igCorcaigh · 01-01-2020 10:20am

Whatever about social media, the web has been ruined by cookie notifications, GDPR, location attempts etc.

Browsing is a horror these days. Bring back the wild West.

The decade when "thoughts and prayers" were replaced by "sending positive vibes"

What is the difference, exactly? Except the removal of prayer, of course. We can't have people doing archaic things like praying, now can we?
Instead let's use our energy to send positive vibes to bereaved people...

Although his follow up never quite captured the imagination like his debut release did.

Lackey · 01-01-2020 12:23pm

Terrorist attacks in Europe

Irish people protesting in person and online .....everything from water charges to ridiculous printers etc etc
Think it started with the figures being released about bonuses and payments to Anglo Irish in 2010

Brexit

Donald Trump

How will the 2010s be remembered??
