You're a year early. AD decades began with year 1.


I'm afraid you're just going to have to accept mass media's version
of this, right or wrong. The Washington Post says this is the start
of a new decade, as does National Public Radio, and even the MIDI
Manufacturer's Association.

You just can't fight social hall, but start campaigning early for the
next decade beginning in 2031.



We also group decades by saying the 20's, 30's.. I'd hate to have to
remember that a song written in 1960 was really part of the 50's.


Well, the sixties didn't begin until 1963. Before that it was
definitely still the fifties. Culture is not beholden to numbers.
