I have a feeling that the 2020s will be an interesting decade. I'm so happy that the decade will have a simple and catchy name. I don't find saying "2000s" or "2010s" to be interesting but 2020s has some flare and spice to it. I think we should watch out for the streaming wars gearing up with the potential release of Disney+ and HBO Max but the downside is that people will be paying a lot for these services. I don't know where music is heading tbh but I've been seeing less Trap recently so that's good but don't know what will define the early 2020s. Fashion right now is very colorful with all of these Champion, vertical stripes and colorblock hoodies that are popular with Gen Z recently and parted hair seems to be a growing trend with teen boys nowadays, it'll probably continue into the early 2020s. Happy that it killed off the Hipster aesthetic that's been going since the entire decade and I know some people are still wearing these Hipster tones but they're mostly Milennials who think they're still living the zeitgeist.

I see the 2020s as being the first decade which will unquestionably be tied to the 21st Century. Both the 2000s and 2010s saw us gradually move away from certain pop culture trends and forms of technology which defined the last century, such as rock music being a cultural force, traditional TV, physical media (e.g CDs) etc. Now that transition is mostly complete. Streaming services are firmly entrenched, 5G technology is now available and digital currency is rendering physical cash obsolete. Those qualities alone make the 2020s seem like an interesting and somewhat exciting prospect. I honestly feel as though the changes we will see in the next few years will set the tone for what is to come for the rest of this century. We're going through the early beginnings of a new wave in technological advancement, one that will eventually see us travel around in self-driving cars and enter into our own virtual worlds.
The new decade will also see Gen Z come into their own as a generation. I feel as though a lot of the current confusion surrounding Gen Z and it's identity is due to the fact that the generation as a whole remains largely undefined. It would be like trying to define Gen X back in the late '80s; who would have thought back in 1989 that alternative-rock, indie culture and gangsta-rap would become staples of Gen X culture? We associate things like mumble rap, tide pods and Fortnite with Gen Z now, but who's to say those are the things which will define them in another 10-15 years time? It didn't happen with Gen X. Who ever associates hair-metal, mullets/perms and neon clothing with them? The first thing that generally comes to mind when people think of Gen X is the '90s alt-rock scene and even though members of Gen X were the target audience for pop culture during the second-half of the '80s, it wasn't until Late 1991 that Nirvana and alt-rock in general experienced it's major breakthrough in the mainstream. Gen Z haven't had their "Smells Like Teen Spirit" moment yet. It's premature to be coming to too many conclusions with Gen Z as a cohort when the majority of them are not even in their twenties yet.
