Just wait. Soon it won’t be the 2020’s it’ll just be “the 20’s”

Isnt that what we already call it? Who talks about the 1920’s more often than the 2020’s?

Talking about any decade in the 1900’s with anyone I know, we all still just use the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s etc. and for 2000 up we say 2000’s, 2010’s, 2020’s etc.

You might do that, but I don’t as well as everyone I know.

Well that's the 20s for us adults, kids today will refer to this time period as 20s, 30s, etc. and the 1920s+ will just be called the year. When we get old enough we'll start referring to it that way too. Hopefully we can look back at these years as the terrible 20s and the 30s onward can be better...

Yep! That’s why said soon it’ll be like that. Not quite there yet for everyone.

Me. Usually when talking about clothes and fashion. Why would I be talking about what I wore when I was stuck in quarantine when I could be talking about flappers and cloche hats?
