Which was the suckiest decade of the modern era?

The 2000s sucked pretty hard. We had 9/11 and Bush 43. Fear and paranoia about terrorism started in earnest and remain with us today. The 1990s were the last great decade for rock music, but the remnants of a few bands survived into the 2000s. Oh, there was the Great Recession. We have smartphones now. The last two shitty Star Wars prequels are released. Kill Bill and Inglourious Basterds kick ass. The stock market returns are referred to as a lost decade. Fusion power is 20 years away. The Foo Fighters still rock!

The 2010s definitely sucked. We're still digging out of the Great Recession. Game of Thrones is on HBO which kicks ass. The Star Wars sequels are a mixed bag, but at least Chewbacca gets his medal. We had three years of Trump, the rise of MAGA, and the fall of intellectualism. Fusion power is 20 years away. The Foo Fighters still rock!

The 2020s aren't over but pretty much suck so far. We have a great President but are in the worst pandemic in 100 years. There are Karens, anti-maskers, and anti-vaxxers running amok. Unapologetic Conservatism tears friends and families apart. The former President gaslights 74 million Republican voters into thinking they were cheated. There are no good albums. There are no good movies. Brittney Spears is freed. Fusion power is 20 years away. The Foo Fighters still rock!

All three decades feature the relentless march of anthropogenic climate change as well as the War in Afghanistan.
