In 15 days the decade will end (and no, we do NOT subscribe to the absurd theory that it actually ends in 2010). The idea can be rather shocking for those of us who passed our teen years entirely within the age they call “the noughties.” To get some perspective, Bwog takes stock of what happened this decade:
What departed… and arrived
The West End… Havana Central
Boy bands… Last.fm
Starbucks boycott… Obama tee
Johnny Depp movies about drugs… Johnny Depp movies for kids
Political correctness… Post-racial politics
Internet-phobic… Twitter-hater
Fast Food Nation… Casual Dining
Friendly New York sitcoms… Mockumentary
Costco… Buy Locally, Think Globally
Garage bands… GarageBand
Big Organic… Fat free
Kyoto Protocol… Home composting
Y2K… 2012
What came and went: thinking of the children, Jeff Sachs, sensitive rock, Bushisms, Salvia.
And what we vivaciously revived: The fedora, opium, Daft Punk, Apple.
Happy nostalgia!

@... apple revived in 2009? i don’t get it, that was like 5-8 years ago.
@... can you read?
Like, where it says “this decade” not “this year”?
@true, but snarky columbia students are timeless
@I totally revived the fedora trend!!! Retro baby!
@Hmm, I think I might have been on that before you ;)
Rocking the Fedora on Campus since 06
@ugh bwog, these suck. please be less bad and unfunny, like you used to.
@hahaha jeff sachs…so over. too bad it took us so long to read that he neoliberalized poland with so-called shock therapy after the fall of the USSR.
