Will there be a 2000s nostalgia in the 2020s?

Like, what's there to be nostalgic about? 911? Trump? Avian flu? Trump? Swine flu? Trump? Ebola? Trump? Climate change, mass shootings, Twilight? TRUMP??

The 2000's suck, there is nothing about it that will bring warm, fuzzy memories, and it's only going to get worse. For one thing, I'm going to get older. And my parents are going go get older. It probably isn't likely any of us are going to see the next century.

There has been a 90s nostalgia in the 2010s. Nostalgia comes in 20 year cycles.

Trump was a real estate mogul in the 2000's. (the period from 2000 to 2009).

And a reality show host later in the decade.

Pretty much, 9/11 took away any possibility of "nostalgia" for the 2000's decade.

What did we have in that decade?

1. 9/11, of course
2. American Idol
3. reality programming
4. the Great Recession (later in the decade)
5. The dot.com crisis (early in the decade)
6. The beginnings of smart phones
7. The beginning of the post dial-up Internet.

Were there any particular musical trends after Grunge?

I thought it was 30 years, the 50s were pretty big in the 80s.

Sometimes I have nostalgia for the 2000s, but more specifically, it's the years that I was in high school, so closer to the year 2000 itself. Music I listened to, movies I watched, games I played, etc. The Internet was a heck of a lot more exciting back then.

Naw. It 20 years. Though maybe it takes thirty years for the nostalgia to peak.

My parents talked about how the first Hollywood movies that depicted the 1930's as a "period" began to appear in the Fifties.

The Fifties themselves began to be depicted in sitcoms (like Happy Days), and movies (like American Graffiti, and Grease) in the Seventies.

The Fifties nostalgia did continue into the Eighties, but in the Eighties you also had Sixties nostalgia (Motown music, shows and movies about Vietnam, movies like Dirty Dancing).

In the Nineties you started to see the Seventies depicted in movies. Nineties dance music heavily sampled Seventies dance music, and there was a revival of popularity of the movie Grease (a Seventies movie that was itself nostalgia for the Fifties).

I thought it was more like every 25 years that history repeats itself.

At some point we will no doubt see 2000's nostalgia.

I have a bit of situational nostalgia for some parts of the 2000s. I had better health, no dietary restrictions, and all of my dreams had yet to be realized or proven unfeasible. I had nicer living arrangements, and certain relatives were still alive.

There will be nostalgia for pop culture from the 2000s just as there has been for every decade post-World War II. You'll probably see the first signs of it around late 2020/early 2021. I'm already starting to feel a bit nostalgic about that period. It was the decade where I came of age and also when I really started to understand myself and the things that I'm passionate about in life. I look back particularly fondly on the music I discovered in my late teens and the bands that I went to see as well as my time at university which was quite good overall. Sure, there were bad things that happened to me in that decade that I would rather forget but also plenty of great memories that I will always treasure.

The 2000's will always be defined by 9/11 and all the bad and continuing after effects for me.

I always thought it was a 30 year rule TBH. I certainly haven't seen any 90's nostalgia, 80's still dominates the music scene though.

I wonder what 90's nostalgia will be like. MC Hammer trousers and boys with curtain hair styles?
