How old are you ? We must be about the same age (35), and I thought you were older than that ?!

Apparently I am 39, which seems ridiculous to me.
The started working in 2000 might throw people off a bit, I went straight to uni from school, got thrown out asked not to go back after a year, bummed around with various jobs for a couple of years, went back to university and completed a 4 year course, graduating in June 2000.

No. The Dropdead Murphys never have and never will be on that list.

No these are more Americans and these do not define an era.

For the 00's, how about manufactured music and reality TV?

Exactly. Not exactly great though is it.

The Naughties was the FarceBook era, and the Tennies looks like the Twatter decade.
Neither of them encourage excellence, in favour of wide-band mediocracy.
No real surprise that other valid cultural elements decline when it's easier to just change your status to "it's complicated" instead of pen an angst-filled teen anthem because she dumped you...

I was not best friend with Twitter at the beginning, but I reckon some people have very good one-liners (Anna Kendrick, Olivia Wild, Ellen Degeneres, ...).
I am big imgur.com fan, not much for the pictures, but for the top comments, which are often excellent puns or one-liners.

These things require a bit of a gap to allow the signal to emerge from the noise. If you actually look at the charts from the 60s there was an awful lot of chaff.

I don't think it will be. Our current problem is a revanchist totalitarian state; a parallel to the sequel.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

...Bubonic plague, Leprosy, swine flu, bird flu, SARS, and Ebola.
Or a "cold" as she refers to it.
Why is it, when she has it she:
1) Insists on sharing it with me.
2) Curls up on the sofa for three days under a mountain of paper tissues and blankets, with hots drinks and a TV to swear at.
But when she successfully passes the baton I have to do the washing, shopping, cooking, cat litter try emptying, ... because it's "just a cold"?
