Default What do you call this decade?

Sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, and now what? The zeros?

The double aughts! ^_^ *shrugs* I dunno... guess we'll find out next decade when they start playing music from the 90's, the 00's, and today!

I call this decade "this decade". After the decade is up... I'm not sure. I'll think of something.

Just saw a reference to this decade as "the noughties".

I kinda like it.

I call it the "aughts." I loved Music Man (class of aught-five!), and I love turn of the century, Victorian-era stuff, so I really enjoy that we get to talk like that again.

I consistently say things like "back in aught-two" referring to 2002. Very fun!
