I remember #Infinity made a thread based on this topic on another forum and it's something that I was interested in discussing, so I decided to make a thread based on the same topic on Popedia. What are some things that you can't believe are from the exact same decade? I know this is somewhat unrelated to the original purpose of this thread, but I can't believe I was born in the same decade as these: 
1990 intrigues me, because it's such a contrast from the year I was born in (1999).

2010s:
In retrospect, it's sort of funny to think that one of the biggest Post-Grunge bands of the 2000s were still popular during the very early years of this decade, especially given how rock music has mostly been absent on the Top-40 charts.

Both are from the decade of Reagan and synthpop:
Both are from the decade of bowl cuts and pogs:
Both are from the decade of emo and MySpace:
Same case here:
We’re still living in the same decade that produced this, and will be for two more years:

1990:
First Website hadn't been created yet.
1999:
Dot Com bubble blowing up.
1990:

In terms of pop culture, 1990 and Early 1991 is like an overlap of the 80s, while 1999 and Late 1998 is like an underlap of the 00s.
1992-1997 were the true 90s, that's when grunge, britpop, G-Funk, Bad Boy - Death Row era hip hop, etc. were all at their peak.

It's interesting to see how the pop culture evolved during the retrospective decades. People generally don't think of the 2000s as being transformative, but just by looking at the posts above, they were definitely more transitional than what people give it credit for.

They are pretty good examples.
Here are two songs, both from the 1980s:

Here's how I'd say each year of the 90s, going foreward from 1990 to 1994 and backwards from 1999 to 1995, contrasts to one another;
1990 vs 1999
Vast difference. They feel more like two decades apart rather than in the same decade, as they seem to have more in common with the 80s and 00s respectively than they do with the core 90s.
1991 vs 1998
Still a very big difference, although Late 1991 and Early 1998 have something, albeit not very much, of a common 90s feel.
1992 vs 1997
This seems to be the turning point. While they are still different, they still do seem to share a common 90s feel to them.
1993 vs 1996
Not much of a difference. The common 90s feel is strong in both of these years.
1994 vs 1995
Practically no difference, which is to be expected as they are literally only 1-729 days apart.

It actually does surprise me how 1990 and 1999 calendar-wise belongs in the same decade.

Which difference do you believe is bigger? 1960 vs 1969 or 1990 vs 1999?

Which difference do you believe is bigger? 1960 vs 1969 or 1990 vs 1999? Pop Culture/Music wise, 1960 vs 1969. This is because musically, the 60s were the most experimental decade of the 20th Century. In 1960, rock music was still just a fad that was intended to be played at dances and parties, and never intended to become a dominant music genre. But then came the rise of surf rock in 1962, the British Invasion in 1964, the release of experimental albums such as "Pet Sounds" in 1966 and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" in 1967, and the advent of heavy metal music with "Helter Skelter" in 1968. By 1969, rock music had already matured into a dominant music genre. The 60s went from songs like "The Twist" and "Only The Lonely" in 1960 to songs like "Pinball Wizard" and "Whole Lotta Love" in 1969. Technology wise, 1990 vs 1999. This is largely due to the advent of the internet, as there were no websites back in 1990, while in 1999 the Dot Com bubble was already bursting. Plus video games changed radically in the 90s. In 1990, Nintendo's main home console was the 8-bit NES, while in 1999, Sega released the 128-bit Dreamcast. That's a vast difference right there, and it all happened due to the advances in video game technology that happened in the 90s.

I think that the Dot Com bubble peaked (and started to fall) in March 2000; that's what I usually see in articles. Would you say that 60's rock developed like this (baby to adult comparison)? 1960-1961: Baby 1962-1963: Toddler 1964: Pre-schooler 1965: Elementary schooler 1966: Middle schooler 1967: High schooler 1968: College-aged adult 1969: Graduate school adult

1970s:
I still can't believe this song is from the same decade that vintage counterculture music was still prominent. For quite a long time, I completely assumed it was from well into the '80s because of its synthy, futuristic sound.
1980s:
1990s:
2000s:
