2000s

The most recent past decade. First of the 21st century. Usually pronounced "The Two Thousands" or "The Noughties". Though technically the decade ran from 2000-2009, the actual decade, like all decades, did not perfectly coincide with this. The 90s actually died in 2001 and the 2010s actually began in 2009 with the rise of Auto-tune and Justin Bieber. Worst decade since the 1940s, and that's only because the world was almost blown to bits then. The '40s had a much cooler style and culture. The 2000s were the first decade to embrace all the previous fashions and trends of the past decade (1990s), only to do it in a much lamer way. Even in 2011, you still have kids who love South Park and Eminem, so in a way, the 2010s are just continuing to copy the 90s. The 2000s were so void of original ideas, even the kids don't like them and we all were aching to return to the 20th century. The decade of talentless rap, horrible whiny emo music, uber-boring Post-Grunge, relentless profanity, ugly tattoos, and trashy pop stars. Thank God it's the 2010s.
