In Australia, they held a competition to find a word to use to describe the 2010s when engaging in self-aware conversations, unnecessary journalism and negative, blindly argumentative blog posting – they have just announced the winner:

The One-ders

Now, given that the so-called ‘noughties’ saw the ironic rise of promise rings, mormon-inspired chastity vampires, generational prudity, the retreat of men behind the cheeky carry-on net curtains of the lads mag, the sexual incompetence of a celebrity culture based largely on comedy tits, The Jonas Brothers, paedo-geddon and everybody being an infantile square who’d rather watch a boxset than fuck – then we can only assume that the ‘one-ders’, with a name evoking wonder – the wide-eyed optimistic march into a glistening future of progress and respect for the awesome, humbling stature of the world we’ve been born into – will fucking suck too.

We should call them the shitty-tens, that might at least inspire us to do better out of spite.
