What Happened to Decades? (www.youtube.com)

Seriously, what happened to the idea of decades? We’re already halfway through the "20s," yet for the past twenty years, the cultural conversation has been dominated by "generations" instead. Here’s why that shift isn’t doing anyone any favors.

Adam Conover talks about time, culture, and linguistics. I'm not sure about the accuracy of some of the things he talks about, and he admits that he's largely speculating on some topics. I felt it was something interesting to think about.

Yeah, I'm not convinced that 90 year olds in the 70s were wearing the cliché 70s clothes, so at some point styles become more generational and less associated with the current decade.
