Top Ten Decade Names of The Decade

Oh when you're born in December
It's hard to remember
Well the 90s have ended
So what do you call this decade?

Of course those are the lyrics to the hit song "Children of December" by the defining band of the last ten years: The Slip.

And that's my Top Most Defining One Band of The Decade list taken care of. My thanks to Google and its prompt response to my query "decade lyrics 90s".

Hopefully Ryanandbrent will now get pushed up the Google search rankings for that as well.

Decade lyrics 90s will be the next decades Level 34 Gemcraft (Winner of the Ryanandbrent "Most Ryanandbrentiest Google Search of the Decade.")

The Slip do raise an excellent question in that song though...what will we call that decade?
A list is the only way to truly know the answer.

10) The Two Thousands: C'mon, that could apply to the entire millenium. Way to pick a decade name Kyle.

9) The Naughties: Is there an N? I don't feel like that's right....maybe I can pretend it's social commentary about how we hurt the environment this decade. Oh, how Naughty we have truly been.

8) The 'Aughties: I checked, there's no N.

7) Time is an Arbitrary, Man-made Distinction, the universe has no beginning, no middle, and no end. Placing a name to the unnameable won't fill the empty angst that overflows your being. Just embrace the nothingness, become enveloped by the void. Oooh, the Sugar Bowl is on.

6) The Double Zeros: Straight, to the point, accurate, but boring.

5) The Decade doesn't end until after 2010, do we have to go through this every milestone? There was no Year Zero, thus this ten year period doesn't end until Dec. 31, 2010. All your lists have been premature. Another thing, 25 years after you get married isn't your 25th Anniversary, your wedding day wasn't your first anniversary was it? C'mon Kyle, jeez.

4) The Twenty Oh's: I like saying Oh. It's usually followed by an exclamation point, but I like going without. I use it as my meditation word, like Ohm but even more concise. That cuts my meditation time down by a third. Time saving tip of the Decade!

3) The Two Zero Zeros: I'm struggling to stretch this to ten items.

2) The Seventies: Remember the Nineteen Eighties? Weren't they great? Well since the Mayan calendar ends at 2012, we'll never get another one. Does that seem fair? Of course not, so if we just call this last year 2079 we skip right over 2012 and get to have another Eighties starting today. I've got my legwarmers on already.

1) The Ryanandbrent Decade: Yea, verily it has come to pass, the Holy Trinity of Ryan, Brent and their Holy Spirit, Mortimer the Ghost from the WBIPOD post were born to a virgin blogspot URL this decade.

Many wisemen from Germany brought unto them gifts of crafted Gems worth a bajillion points each, to throw lightning at assorted monsterguys. So it was spoken, and so it has come to pass.
