As an adult because the music is crap and there are no decent role models for people to emulate. Instead we get idiots like the Kardashians and similar reality chancers who are famous for nothing in particular. There are a lot of arrogant, conceited bigheads in fame who think the world should revolve around them. That's why all the cool kids listen to Korean pop

I'm sure the 2010s are very great to be a kid in as well. Like already said, having tons of toys, technology and movies at easy disposal. Between apps, youtube videos, tv shows and the billion quadrillion kid fads, kids have more at hand than ever before. The only exception might be the popular music of the late-2010s in general which isn't the most appropriate thing in the world. I agree. Putting my own personal bias aside, I actually think the 2010s would be a better era for someone to experience their childhood than the Mid-Late 2000s. The Mid-Late 2000s had the advantage of having a more diverse music scene and better kids shows, but the 2010s excel the second-half of the 2000s in so many other aspects IMO: * Bubbly, upbeat dance-pop songs such as "Gangnam Style", "Watch Me (Whip Nae Nae)" and "Cheerleader". I can just imagine a 2010s kid reminiscing about "Gangnam Style" in the same way that people born in the 1990s have a fondness for "Who Let The Dogs Out". * Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not only are the movies themselves excellent, CGI-technology has advanced in such a way that superhero movies are more life-like and relatable than ever before. * Internet fads such as the Ice Bucket Challenge and Mannequin Challenge. It must have been great being a kid when they were popular and taking part in them. * Like you mentioned, the fact that toys, technology and movies are at easy disposal.

The mid and especially late 2000s weren't the best times to experience our childhood, but one thing I do think was better for us was movies. Imo, the 2000s were consistently the best decade for movies (for kids at least).

Imo, the 2000s were consistently the best decade for movies (for kids at least). Yeah, I see what you mean, but I sort of have a mixed opinion in regards to movies, to be honest. I would have loved it if the Marvel Cinematic Universe (excluding Iron Man) had existed when I was in my core childhood and I think 2010s kids are really lucky in that regard. However, I think the one thing that really works in our favour, is that the film industry was a lot more diverse when we were kids. I mean, 2007 alone had The Simpsons Movie, Transformers, Spider-Man 3 and Ratatouille (although, I've never watched that movie). The 2000s were a pretty diverse decade for film, so that's one advantage about when we experienced our childhoods.

The 2010s seems to be all about remakes of movies from our childhood (proving that we had better movies ) for example you've had Finding Dory, Incredibles 2, Cars 3 all release in the past few years and Toy Story 4 set to be released next year. If the 2010s had a more diverse range of original movies, it wouldn't be so bad. However, I do agree with you about the MCU, which is one really good aspect about movies these days.

It would be interesting to know how 2010s kids perceive a lot of the remakes from this decade. They're probably not even familiar with the original movies and when they hear about a "Toy Story 4" or a "Incredibles 2", they probably think, "what the hell is this movie supposed to be about?".

I enjoyed the early to mid 2010s as an "adult" (although may the correct term is young adult). College from 2008 to 2012 was great.
p.s. Hello everybody.

I think this decade would be best enjoyed by someone who is a teen/young adult. I have a hard time imagining people over 40 enjoying most modern mainstream music, television, video games, and movies.

Hey guys, long time no see, I know I've been gone for a few months now but I just been busy with growing my youtube channel and just been buliding my personal brand online. With all that being said I think being an adult this decade is better because of technology and how easy it is to start a business and make money online. I can see why some people would say being a kid of this decade is better because of the access of the internet with smartphones and being able to start a youtube channel at a young age. As someone who was a teen the frist half of this decade I didn't really enjoy it as much as I did my late teen years more (mid 10s) than my early teen years since I was in college, getting back into console gamming and better technology overall.

Looking back, I definitely have mixed feelings over this. The Early 2010s would have been the best era of this decade for someone to experience the bulk of their childhood or teenage years in, IMO. Social media was still innovative and exciting, smartphones were a novelty, music was upbeat and diverse, while indie culture was starting to take off then as well. It was a very progressive era in which there was a lot of optimism for the future. I also get the impression that they would have been a decent time to experience as a young adult. For me personally, the Early 2010s were a weird era in that I feel as though I never truly got to experience them outright as a kid or a teen. I was in primary school for the first-half and high school in the second. Had I been say, 8 years old or 16 years old during the Early 2010s, I might have been able to identity with it a lot more.
The Mid 2010s were a very crummy era in general, however they do have their positive qualities. The MCU movies had well and truly entered into their zenith by this point in terms of popularity and all of the movies are genuinely great. I've always thought that it would be great to have been a kid when the likes of "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "The Avengers" were released to cinemas. Music was very hit and miss. I don't look back on the majority of it with much fondness, but I would be lying if I said that it doesn't make me feel nostalgic for my teens. Songs such as "Turn Down for What", "Animals" and "Whip (Nae Nae)" are complete stinkers though.
As for the current era, well...i'm going to be bias in saying this, but I feel as though they are best experienced as a young adult, if only for the fact that you are generally less exposed to high school and youth culture. I don't see a lot of trends from this era which would appeal to kids, other than perhaps Fortnite being popular and country-Trap being a thing. I'm thankful that I graduated from high school when I did, in all honesty, because I personally think the Late 2010s would be a crap era to experience your early-mid teen years in, especially if mumble-rap or most of the other trends which are popular don't resonate with you. I would have hated to have been 13 or 14 years old when the likes of XXXTentacion, Cardi B and Post Malone are popular. That's just my own take on things though. If you like the pop culture of the Late 2010s, more power to you.

This decade would definitely be remembered as the biggest shift in technology in the last 100 years. Social media pretty much govern people's life, A cell phone can almost do anything, kids are tech savvy before they learn to speak. The 10s we're a divided decade politically from a more liberal beginning to a more conservative ending. I personally say this decade is better as an adult but I can say that late 10s kids have a lot going for them.

I was going to say that early-mid 2010s is best experienced as an adult, and late 2010s is probably best experienced as a kid. Fortnite and Tik Tok are kind of dope.

but I can say that late 10s kids have a lot going for them. In what way? I can see how current trends such as Fortnite, Tik Tok and possibly country-Trap would appeal to the kids of today, but there's very little else which I can think of. The Early 2010s not only had upbeat electropop and the MCU, but also movies such as "How To Train Your Dragon", "Rio", "Despicable Me" etc. It was a much more kid-friendly era of pop culture in general.
