3 months left in the decade and there's still no name for it!?
"The Zeroes"

"The Aughts"?

"The Naughts"?

What?

For that matter, there hasn't been a TRUE "name" for a "Generation" since "Generation X" (and even THAT only meant "Generation that we don't know how to define") and now Gen X has been used to define Gen Y and Gen Z(?)

Has history stopped or something?

1. I'd go with "The Lost Decade" or "The Decade Best Forgotten."
There are large chunks of it I'd just as soon forget.

6. Given the administration from 2001-2009, the "zeros" is probably best.
