Since the New Tens seem to be compared to both the Gilded Age and Cyberpunk, how about The Chromed Age?

There should probably be some kind of rule about what's important enough to be mentioned in the description, or else by 2019 this page will be like ten miles long. Though we won't really know what's important until a few years down the road, I guess. Kind of reminds me of when VH 1 tried to do "I Love The New Millenium" in 2007 and now everything's out of date.

...and so this page has been turned into yet another overblown whine-fest about how "the 90's were best" that blatantly accentuates the negative (well someone had to say it).

Couldn't help but agree. I even had to extend the disclaimer (along with some edits in the Japanese culture parts) in an attempt to kept things in context.

So... when do we add the notes about the Incandescent Light Bulb Phase Out and the end of Analog TV?

Does a TV show count as being made in the New Tens if it started before (2009 or earlier) but continues to be made?

Should horizontal Lens Flare 's, Vocaloid and Autotune be 2010s tropes already?

Perhaps there should also be trope codifying section and highpoint section for every decade, so one can see where a trope kicked off and in which decade/year it started to become discredited.

Should'nt the New 10s begin with 2011 and not 2010.

No. Decades are a ten-year period, counted from xxx0 to xxx9, inclusive. 1960-1969 is a decade. 2000-2010 is not, being 11 years.

There is a subjective aspect; depending on who you ask, the new tens started as early as 2009 and as late as 2012. Those opinions are based on perceived significant shifts in culture; 2009 since Obama was just elected marking a shift in perception in the US, 2012 for a whole lot of other things.

illegalcheese, I think you're confusing eras with decades. Decades are just ten year periods, eras are more abstract, like "the Obama era", "the War on Terror", etc.

Removed the "half hearted" part from "half hearted rebuff of the Democrats." Given that it was the biggest legislative swing since the Thirties and was born from the rise of an independent political movement, I'd be more inclined to call it the "severe rebuff." But we can keep it neutral and call it simply a rebuff.
