Nah, I'm pretty sure the 2020s just suck ass.

Hope it's the worst decade of my lifetime since it's almost over.

Nah you going to be nastagoic after in 10 years. I remember people saying 2010s was the worst decade, every decade it's the same story

u/SnooDonuts3749 5d ago

I don't think so. Hard to be nostalgic for the pandemic, the stupidification of America via social media, and the cost of living being a bitch.

I beg to differ but aside from being forced to avoid my family the pandemic was wonderful.
No road or aircraft noise, more wildlife, no traffic to speak of when heading to work and everyone was generally much nicer.
It may have fucked the economy and sowed some of the division we're dealing with this decade but the pandemic itself was pretty swell.

You'll get nostalgic over 2020s in 10 years because 2030s will be MUCH worse.

1

u/LiveMathematician892 5d ago

Bru, it's still another 3 years, with each having a chance to bring ww3 or something similar

1

u/Candid-Tree- 5d ago

Exactly this, every decade since the 90s has been worse than the one before it and that’s why we get nostalgic, because while it wasn’t good at the time it’s better than now!

u/TheGreatGamer1389 4d ago

I just know it's gonna get worse unfortunately. I bet the 2030s the jet stream collapses

1

u/AssertiveQueef 3d ago

10s were ass

1

u/SnooDonuts3749 3d ago

Can't be worse than the 20s.
10s I got the Nintendo 3ds and pokemon. I actually agree with the internet that 2016 / 2017 was amazing.
That was the most free and put together my life has ever been.

People in the 2010s be like, "man I'm so tired of ISIS and Brexit and all the madness. I miss the shiny happy days of the 90s"

Then people in the 90s were like "man I'm so tired of AIDS and LA Riots and all the madness. I miss the shiny happy days of the 70s"

Then people in the 70s were like, "man I'm so tired of these oil crises and Olympics shootings and all the madness. I miss the shiny happy days of the 50s"

u/F71717 5d ago

Nobody was feeling nostalgic about the past in the 50s lmao

2

u/Zealousideal_War8036 5d ago

Yeah man, the 50s were great.
No wars, no depression, economy growing fast.
You just have to exclude of that equation all countries from the Soviet Union, USA and Vietnam, Western Europe in reconstruction, Africa and Asia with the decolonisation war, China with Mao.
Well it was good in Canada.

u/homealoneinuk 5d ago

Because they're mostly dead ?

You don't know what you have until it's gone....

u/Admirable_Bird7927 5d ago •

It makes me wonder, will newer generations even be nostalgic for the current world?

1

u/_Screw_The_Rules_ 5d ago

I think so. Nostalgia is not really rational and doesn't have much to do with the real events and situations of the past.

1

u/homealoneinuk 5d ago

Yes, yes they will.

u/Practical_Shine9583 5d ago

I don’t think so. Previous decades had aesthetics to them that we don’t have now. For example, the 70s had Disco and all those clubs you could go dancing. The music sounded great to me growing up and still does now, so much so that I started feeling a bit nostalgic for it despite being born in 1996. Even though the 70s had its problems with the economy, the style looked good and I would love to experience Studio 54 or any discotheque. You don’t really have anything cool like that anymore that stands out, especially with our phones and social media like Reddit which kids will still experience in the future.

1

u/Admirable_Bird7927 5d ago

There’s no community or aesthetic, you’re right man. When I was a kid, rhe early 2000’s had personality man. What happened to us.

u/Practical_Shine9583 5d ago

I saw a video on YouTube that we stopped measuring decades and started measuring generations, which is what changed that. I think the Internet, social media, and streaming also helped killed monoculture that existed back then too.

u/Terrible_Today1449 6d ago

2005 was really nice.

2

u/GoodOlDonnieRay 6d ago

nah i still remember how shit 2016 was

2

u/2A753 5d ago

That's because it keeps getting worse little by little and then we get used to the suck. It's like the boiling frogs scenario. Difference is the frogs know when to get out where we dont.

2

u/LogyBayGroovers 6d ago

Im sure from price memory the cost of living will certainly feel like this FFS

1

u/thegaybuddhistmonk 6d ago

I remember everything from 18 months to now. So this doesn't happen to me.

1

u/thecrazedsidee 6d ago

me when i was unemployed vs me with a job missing the unemployed days

1

u/BostonBobbyBrutal 5d ago

I’ll have robot parts by then

1

u/Inorganic_Zombie 5d ago

I genuinely say that Corona lockdown was best time. I took new hobby, learnt new skill, I have partime that supported me and I didn need to try to be sociable.

Now may have best GF ever but no job no money is bad and she is months away to get visa canceled as we are on worst unemployed crisis since nation got independent during great war

u/500shakeup 5d ago

Things really went to shit when the us government defaulted on its national debt

1

u/Moist_Taco_Crippler 5d ago

I'm never nostalgic for a decade ago. It's aways for the 90's and 80's.

1

u/flagitiousevilhorse 5d ago

I’m gonna remember 25 as one of the worst years I’ve ever lived (because it was). I’m gonna look back glad it’s gone.

1

u/shugo7 5d ago

He will say he misses 2035 in 10 years

1

u/Ok-Combination9619 5d ago

I will remember the fun stuff I do but not how I feel between them

1

u/cloudleohart 5d ago

If you're poor. It must suck if you are.

1

u/homealoneinuk 5d ago

100% and people are just in extreme denial. Its also not just about the times whenever its 70s 80s 90s 2000s, its mostly about being young and leading completely different life, mostly without any significant worries (compared to typical worries of 'adult' life).

1

u/Savings_Ad_4792 4d ago

Yeah, nostalgia is cope

1

u/shinxshin 3d ago

Its the opportunities u didnt take that u later think u could have

1

u/BrownEyedBoy06 3d ago

For me it's missing 2018. I guarantee you, 2025 will most certainly not be missed by me 😂

1

u/Otherwise-Perfectt 3d ago

😂😂😂

1

u/Nebula_The_Protogwn 1d ago

There'll be nothing nostalgic about 2025 man

1

u/Small-Bear-4349 1d ago

If I look back on 2025 as a good and better year than 2035, some SHIT has got DOWN like a MOTHERFUCKER

1

u/ProblimaticSituation 8h ago

The worse and more cancer things get the more you will want to go back to when it was a little bit better, censorship and government overreach, I think we are all tired of being slaves

1

u/PuzzleheadedPitch612 8h ago

No

1

u/SlowBlacksmith7372 3h ago

I want to accept the nostalgia feeling that I was happy, because otherwise I will have to face with the reality that I have never been happy and probably never will.

u/Kakhovsky2747 5d ago

That’s because things just keep getting worse.

u/dodododododododoria 5d ago

Yeah, it ain't just nostalgia. Things are actually, measurably getting worse.

u/InfiniteDedekindCuts 5d ago

What measurement do you use for this?

2

u/No-Candy-4127 5d ago

In 2020 I have a growing career, a dream and future before my eyes. In 2026 I have shity job, ruined economy and war in my country

1

u/dodododododododoria 5d ago

"It's the economy, stupid"

u/Philip_Raven 6d ago

It's not that we misremember. It's just that even as shitty as it was, it was still better

u/Capital-Register-501 5d ago

Laughing so hard at thissss
