Did they even use such descriptions as 20s, 30s that long ago? Or is describing decades like that relatively modern?

This is the year 12012, according to the Holocene Chronology, so this is the twelve-thousand and eleventh decade.

I call it the "Decade of the White Corelian Counter-Tops".

the decade where all the hit music is all about singers like "Cher Lloyd" who sing like they've just been awaken out of bed and hung up side down from a rope while having a massive hang over and laryngitis.
