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

"Scholars differ on this issue." And, besides, some of us can't wait
for this decade to be over.

If any scholar can come up with a year zero I will change my mind.
You're dead right about wanting this one to be over though.

We had the same problem at the turn of the century.
After all was said and done, we (as a people) just decided that
the real excitement was in seeing three zeros in the year number.
Nothing else mattered.

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.

I fear the 2031 event will be someone else's problem.

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.

That's alright. There's always what I term 'decade lag' - the tendency for cultural
styles(in attire, music, industrial design - automotive, etc.). IE: a lot of popular
songs as late as 1962 still had a late-fifties style/tone to it.

Bell bottoms did not completely depart along with the Hostage Crisis of 1980.

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

Each decade (or any time period) begins any time you choose it to! You
do realise the calendar has changed more than once since then?

Any mathematician will tell you numbers begin at zero, NOT end at zero.

As a programmer, I'm a subscriber to that view. So 1960 was the zeroth
year of the 60's The 60's was a decade that began Jan 1st 1960, and
ended just before Jan 1st 1970. The birth of Jesus has nothing to do
with it. No one said that we are starting the 202nd decade since then.
It's that we are starting a new decade that if of note to many people.

The mathematicians had a nasty habit of numbering inductive sets ending
in ALEPH_0 starting with 1. There's a chronic fear of zero in the world.
