Can confirm, am getting older and making the timelines from my teens and early 20s make sense is getting harder and harder.

The “2000s” also has no meaning for defining a specific time period. It should mean 2001-2010, but I’ve also never heard anyone seriously refer to 2011-2020 as the “teens” and 2021-2025 as the “twenties.” Those words are already associated with decades that we still culturally reference.

We’re a quarter of a century in and I still don’t know how to precisely refer to a 21st-century decade.
