The 00's, really?

[The Lost Big Boss]

The decade of "Oh my god we are going to die soon!"

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

It's either going to be called The Aughts or the O's. As in Oh-four, oh-nine, etc.

 

[Mozared]

Without reading any of your suggestions, "The zeroes" is really the first thing that popped up in my head.

The two-kays.

Seconded, but I would write it as 2K's. I think this is the only one so far that is both easy to say and doesn't sound stupid.

 

[Anonymous Overlord]

"those years"
"the Great Sobering"
"that time we all sat down and had a hard look at ourselves, while hanging our heads in shame at the reflection of the 90's... which sucked"

or much more simply
"Better than the 90's"

4chan happened.

If it weren't for 4chan we WOULDN'T BE HERE. The whole internet would be so infested with trolls it would be worse than a Lord of The Rings novel.

The Hundreds? 2 Thousands?

 

[TailsRodrigez]

decade of stupidity

 

[zehydra]

how about the decade of having people wear glasses of the year on New Years?

 

[magicmonkeybars]

OMG I lived in the year 007 and I didn't even realize it, damn 777.

 

[Srkkl]

The nippleless boobs, because it's two 0's haha.

 

[Drakmeire]

how bout the ought's I think that's how its spelled.
people have just been calling it the new millennium anyway

 

[MGlBlaze]

I just call it "The Two-thousands"; soon to go into the "Two-thousand-tens". It just makes much more sense to me, if a bit boring.

Somehow I feel that 'The Noughties' as I have heard many call it just sounds incredibly retarded, but that's just me.

The Decade Of The Fear Mongering

Why you ask? Probably not, but still:

The decade started off with 9/11, prompting the US to take it's role as the extreme patriotic, and press fear of terrorism onto other people's hands. Not to mention all the supposed "Pandemics" that we supposedly had (SARS, Bird Flu, Hoof and Mouth, Mad Cow, Swine Flu (worst of all)) which all went away within a few months with very little impact.

And of course, all the media that has been pleasently corrupting our minds since January of 2000.

You good sir are the most correct person in this topic. Thats pretty much what this entire decade was the media trying to scare us into believing all sorts of retarded shit because the news is not news anymore because its for the most part not useful public information. I'm sorry but I don't give a shit about Tiger Woods news stop trying to entertain me and actually tell me something useful.

The decade of escapism?
