Since the year 2020 is just over two and a half years away, I thought it would be interesting if we made predictions for the next decade. Here are my predictions:
* Bill Shorten will win the 2018 Federal Election and be the Prime Minister during the first half of the Early 2020s.
*Emo music and fashion will experience a short revival in the Early 2020s, as people will become nostalgic for Mid 2000s pop culture. Teenagers during the Early 2020s will be raving about the look of "old" Mid 2000s bands such as Panic At The Disco and Fall Out Boy. I predict references to Mid 2000s pop culture will be present in new song lyrics in four-five years time.
*By 2022, the Apple iWatch/Smartwatches will reach the popularity of smartphones. More and more people will want a device which is smaller and durable.
*Self-driving cars will start to become available to the public around 2022/2023, however they will receive a lot of criticism and adoption of self-driving cars by the public will be very gradual.
*By the end of the 2020s, Nintendo will no longer be producing gaming consoles.
*As sad as it sounds, I think Kanye West will become a Presidential candidate for the 2020 election. Remembering the comments Kanye made several years earlier, people will begin a trend on social media in Mid-Late 2019 calling for Kanye to become a candidate. I believe a backlash against Donald Trump will only further encourage the general public to support Kanye West and as a result of this, he will have a fair amount of momentum. Ultimately, however, he will not become the President of the United States.
*By 2021, The Block, The Voice and MasterChef will not be on the air.

Everything up there is really bad apart from the driverless cars, if your predictions are right I really ain't looking forward to the decade.

I suppose George needs something else to do, apart from harassing A-League fans. Everything up there is really bad apart from the driverless cars, if your predictions are right I really ain't looking forward to the decade. Do you think the "Emo revival" is bad too? I was never a fan of it either. I think there will be some kind of mainstream nostalgia for it eventually though.

I hate Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco and all those other wimpy bands.

Music will sound a lot different than today especially by the mid-late 2020's, self-driving cars will be available, nostalgia for the 2000's will become huge by 2023.
Tbh, I don't really want the 2020's to bring back things that were popular in a previous decade. I want it to have its own unique identity and culture.

I don’t normally don’t condone violence and all, but that little shit “fan(s)” got what was coming to them mouthing off in the crowd like that. Not sure what what they thought was going to happen next. Should’ve kept it to themselves IMO.

They would have known that George would retaliate to it.

* 2020 will be the last year where EDM and trap have any relevance in the mainstream. I thought the two genres would have declined already, but from a January 2018 perspective, it doesn't look like the genres are going to decline anytime soon.
* 2020 will more than likely still have a lot of 2010s influences. There are a lot of sequels planned for that year (which is a trend of this decade) and most of them are sequels to 2010s franchises.
