I agree. For some reason, most people seem to recognise the 2000s and 2010s as being one big, collective era, rather than two separate decades with their own unique identities. It's unusual that it is the case. I mean, it has been almost 19 years since the year 2000, it's not as if we have only just entered the new millennium. I don't get it. Was the case in like 2013-14, but I honestly rarely see people doing that nowadays. I always see people calling it "the thousands", the noughties or even the "early 2000s" referring actually to the whole decade (weird, but it's better than nothing). I heard those terms plenty of times in class or on tv, so it's not just an online thing In fact, I'm pretty sure most people at this point would agree to call the early 2000s retro and the mid-late 2000s a bygone era. Only white people call it “the noughties”

Only white people call it “the noughties” Are the 2000s even commonly referred to as the "noughties" in the US? I always had the impression that it was only a term used in Europe and Australia.

That's interesting to hear, because from my observations, most people tend to collectively regard the noughties and the 2010s as the "2000s". Very rarely do you ever hear anyone refer to them as separate decades.

North America used the term “the aughts” at some stage IIRC. However I could be mistaken...

I'm pretty sure the term was even coined in the UK, if i'm not mistaken. I had British and Australian/NZ teachers, and they called zero "naught", while we just call it zero or "Oh". That is why "naughties" didn't catch on here.

The 2000s will superior age better, its common sense. The 2010s will be spammed with memes and other tedious products of the era. Music in the 00s alone is too coexistent with legacy.

I’m not sure I would call the ‘00s “toned down,” even in comparison to the ‘10s, but I fully agree that they’ll be remembered more fondly.

I feel like the 2000s are already aged, so the 2010s will be the next

I’m going to assume you’re talking which decade’s pop culture will age better when we look back on it. And I’m gonna say right now, as a whole, the 2000s win by a long shot.
For the record, there are plenty of dated movies and video games and TV shows from the 2000s, I won’t deny that.
But MY FUCKING GOD. People already criticized 2000s movies for example for having a lot of pop culture references and product placement, but the 2010s makes the 2000s look tame by comparison. References to memes and social media trends are so omnipresent in so many aspects of 2010s pop culture. It’s a clear attempt to pander and appeal to today’s youth, but it just comes off as downright patronizing.
I cannot think of a single movie that singlehandedly represents everything wrong with 2010s culture than the goddamn Emoji Movie, which is filled with every product placement you can think of, as well as references to memes and songs from the time too.
Even the most painfully dated movies from the 2000s simply can’t compare to The Emoji Movie. It is of course the worst example, but there’s PLENTY of other examples of 2010s TV shows and movies that feature memes and trends to appease to young people.

but for the most part, the decade's culture still feels very fresh today. Maybe my perception of the decade's relevance can simply be as a result of my age, but personally, I would actually have to say the opposite. I personally think the pop culture of the naughties feels noticeably dated, for the most part. Most of the trends that went onto define the decade have been out of the limelight for several years now, such as the Emo scene, certain fashion trends (e.g frosted tips, baggy jeans), many of the decade's most popular television shows, as well as obsolete forms of technology (e.g MP3's, flip phones). You’re only saying that I think because the 2000s have long since passed, whereas when you wrote, we were still in the 2010s. But I think the 2010s will actually age much worse in hindsight, especially considering all the myriad of short-lived trends and memes. I already made a post about it.

Mark my word, babies, the 10s will be seen like the 1920s one day

I think 2010s (and some late 00s) technology will age better. I can see things like smartphones, face ID, virtual assistants and contactless payment still being around in the not so distant future with some upgrades for the time. Most of those things became commonplace in the 2010s
I don’t think 2000s fashion or early to mid 2010s fashion will age well. Maybe the fashion from the second half of the 10s will tho
Music from the 2000s will probably age better than 2010s music. Distorted trap beats, chopped vocals, and some of the aggressive and synth heavy edm and electropop may not fair to well in the future. Some of it already sounds horrible now, meanwhile 00s pop and r&b still can sound fresh, even if it no longer fits todays trends
