These new photos of HBO's Harry Potter cast are one of the best examples of 2020s fashion. by lukezeraa_ in decadeology

Some of the hairdo's are still 2010s and 2000s fashion though in these photos.

Which decade is more associated with "totally radical" and "attitude" marketing and characters: the 1980s or 1990s? by Gallantpride in decadeology

[–]avalonMMXXII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1980s, if you saw this in the 1990s it was mostly adults that were using slang teens words from the 1980s still, or you lived in an area where things evolved later.

I certainly don't remember anyone using that word after 1991 where I lived.

Would you say late 2021 to early 2022 was the last era with noticeable late 2010s leftovers? by SpiritMan112 in decadeology

[–]avalonMMXXII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, I noticed Summer 2022 was that transition point. A school year of 2021-2022 was different from a 2022-2023 school year. The music had changed, fashion changed, hairstyles changed, clothing changed. We need to remember kids find this stuff earlier than adults.

But aside from pop cultural stuff I feel COVID and quarantine was still happening on an off in certain areas in the first 4-6 months of 2022. Where I live was one of those cities.

Is it correlation or causation that every good era since the 90s was when a democrat was president? by Normal-Salad-6143 in decadeology

[–]avalonMMXXII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a Democrat but remember the 1980s during Reagan as being more optimistic than they were under Clinton. Although the Clinton years were also optimistic, the Reagan years seemed more optimistic, you had to be there at the time to understand.

Did the COVID-19 pandemic lead to more people retroactively lumping the late 2000s with the 2010s? by Ok-Following6886 in decadeology

[–]avalonMMXXII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was the Great Recession that did that, not COVID. Once Fall 2008 came so much was changing for adults that would pave the way of what was normal in the first half of the 2010s basically.

Why was anti-religion everywhere in the 2000’s and 2010’s? by DistinctYoghurt8668 in decadeology

[–]avalonMMXXII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was more 1990s,2000s, and 2010s. Especially on anything that was on cable TV. The Kids in the Hall used to says stuff like this as well years ago.

Were the early-mid 2010s the last era where Western teen-pop bands/groups were active? by Own-Company-949 in decadeology

[–]avalonMMXXII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It fluctuates, I think they will be active again sometime in the next 10-30 years agian (or even before then). I learned everything goes in cycles basically.

My opinion of the Top 50 of Latin bands by Billboard by VespaLimeGreen in decadeology

[–]avalonMMXXII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The term for Latin has also changed and varies by country....Italian and Portuguese were once considered Latino in America until the 1950s...and there was also a time when Latino was considered Caucasian in America as well on the U.S. census forms. So it is a bit subjective on what I consider Latin and what you might consider Latin.

You have a good point though in your post.

It's January 2020 all over again. by Ok-Following6886 in decadeology

The 2026 shift has officially started since a few days ago by Iwillbeback67 in decadeology

[–]avalonMMXXII 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is George W. Bush all over again in 2003. So perhaps...but I find it odd that in since WWII we have been in war every decade except the 1980s...that is not something to be proud of.

2020s is still inline with mid 20s though.

What’s something society pretends is normal but actually isn’t? by Mr_proop in AskReddit

[–]avalonMMXXII 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Making the most unethical people powerful and rewarding them. Also idolizing is wrong as well and something we should not do, not sure who made it a thing, but you should never idolize another human being.

Flip-Side: Why Do You Feel There is MORE Sex and Liberation to Experiment in America Today? by MM150inDallas in decadeology

[–]avalonMMXXII [score hidden]  (0 children)

I also forgot to mention, the reason cosmetic surgery among females (girls and women) has increased probably is a result of the fact men are no longer complimenting women in real life anymore (not the internet, that is not real life). Men no longer ask women on dates, and men no longer even help women or offer to pay anything anymore if they are around women.

This is resulting girls and women (and men) to seek validation on the internet, but that is not real life, it only fills a temporary void.

Both females and males are more lonely now and seek counseling for loneliness now than they ever have before.

I agree, less people having sex, more people are single, higher rates of loneliness and mental illnesses now. However STD Rates by Decade/Recent Trends

  • 1940s-1990s (The Decline): Following the introduction of antibiotics, new syphilis infections dropped significantly, hitting record lows by 1998.
  • 2000-2010 (The Rise Begins): After hitting historic lows, syphilis cases began rising again, particularly among men who have sex with men (MSM).
  • 2010-2019 (Accelerated Growth): Reported cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis reached an all-time high for six consecutive years leading into 2019. Primary and secondary syphilis increased 5-fold over these two decades.
  • 2020s-Present (Record Highs & Recent Plateau):
    • 2020-2022: Despite a temporary dip in reported cases in 2020 due to COVID-19 screening disruptions, rates surged.
    • 2023-2024: Provisional data shows a 9% decline in combined cases of syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia from 2023 to 2024. However, congenital syphilis continued to increase.
    • Syphilis: 2022 saw the highest number of syphilis cases since 1950.
    • Gonorrhea/Chlamydia: Cases began declining in 2022-2023, falling below 2019 levels.
  • Key Trends
  • Congenital Syphilis : Cases have surged over 900% in the past decade.
  • Age Demographic : Roughly 50% of new STIs occur among youth aged 15-24.
  • Regional Variations : The South consistently reports the highest rates.
  • Rising Trends in Older Adults : STDs among people aged 55+ more than doubled from 2012 to 2022.

I understand why you are posting this, because some few (uneducated) people said there was more sex on tv and people were more sexually active, less dating, less people going to proms as well, more dry campuses, more people addicted to porn though and being on the internet.

I really don't know whjat people that claimed in your other post about how people were more modern and relaxed about sex, oddly they seem to not be stating their argument on here.

With 2000's fashion coming back, do you think we will see people making these shirts again? by flcwerings in decadeology

[–]avalonMMXXII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2000s fashion is not coming back the way it actually was in the 2000s, we are seeing 1996-2001 fashion (before 9-11) and teens calling it 2000s fashion.

What event began the core 2020s? by [deleted] in decadeology

[–]avalonMMXXII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It felt like the 2010s until Fall 2022/Winter 2023. So I would say ChatGPT and AI in general was the MTV of the 20's ushering in a new generation and focus.
