I have a feeling that google translate isn't literal, but it involves descendancy from a female dog, which may or may not have something to do with affection.

I just love the level of sympathy and understanding you got from the community, I get the impression this bunch of geeks do not consider facebook a positive thing.
And no I do not have the problem, you mean there is a facebook mobile thingy!

Every decade seems to have been very defined culturally apart from the current one and the last one.
60's Beatles, Stones, Georgie Best etc.
70's Flares, Flower Power, Prog Rock etc.
80's New Romance, Punk, Maggie Thatcher.
90's Oasis, Blur, Geri and the UJ Dress, Rave culture.
00's ???, ???, x-factor?
10's ???
Can anyone help me fill in the blanks?

No, we gave up on culture in the late 90s when regular people started discovering the Interwebz. Why spend time and effort making music and art, when you could be watching pron looking at pictures of kittehs and pretending to be a Farmer?

That's what people here (younger ones than me) tell me. They say the naughties is defined by the internet. I argue that that is not culture.

Quote: The 1950s invented rock and roll and be-bop. The 1960s invented modern rock, blues rock, jazz rock, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, soul, hard-bop and free jazz. The 1970s create stadium rock, disco, funk and punk. The 1980s created the music video and many metal-related genres. The 1990s had grunge, Britpop, boy/girl bands and hip-hop. So what’s our decade’s claim to fame?
The one new style of music that could be called original is danceable rock and roll. I have yet to hear it given a proper name but what I am referring to is the current guitar bands that incorporate elements of dance and rave music. Examples would be Franz Ferdinand, The Klaxons, The Killers, Hot Hot Heat, Kasabian, and the Kaiser Chiefs. These bands wear their influences on their sleeve but have managed to create something relatively new. You can hear everything from the Bee Gees to The Jam and Joy Division up to Pearl Jam and The Stone Roses. I don’t necessarily like all these bands — I thoroughly dislike the Klaxons — but at least they are doing something slightly original.
The one element of the 2000’s that will be remembered is the utilization of the internet. Online music communities are forming without any influence from the corporate music world. That is a truly exciting occurrence in new music.

That's what I wanted to write, they have summed it up much better. Killers I probably agree with as being the sort of music the naughties are associated with. But the thing with the other decades is you knew at the time what it was about. You wasn't still talking 4 years after the decade had finished what would represent it.

Punk was 70s.

Punk was mid 70's through to the early 80's but let's not get into a date fight.
I think by the 90's there were so many left over genres that people started picking their own culture and the days of a single hegemonic youth culture is done.

I would say that by the time they 1980s came around punk was long dead but many other genres that had spawned from it had a good few years left in them.

Indeed, apparently the 80s punk groups are now referred to as "post-punk". 
This space intentionally left blank.

Not in my head it wasn't.
I distinctly remember being a Toddler in the early 80's and there was a girl with spikey hair at the Bus Stop. My Mother was telling me not to point and laugh. That was the punk era for me.
Seriously though, I know they say Punk was 70's but that was only for a few 'very hip' people in London. By the time it was mainstream in the rest of the Country it was early 80's (I'm talking hairstyles, Sex Pistols etc)

Sex Pistols had split up, and Sid was dead, before the 80s arrived.
I'm much too young to remember the 70s, but a mate of mine who isn't has been heavily into punk since the 70s, his reasoning all that other tedious shite around like ABBA and bloody Led Zeppelin. I think he makes a good point.

Really. OK my positioning of it is a bit off then. I thought I remebered the Grundy incident on TV in the early 80's but after a bit of googling it turns out I wasn't even alive then.
