Top 10 Worst Decades In History

There are too many nostalgiatards in this site. They complain about 2010s just because of bad pop and rap music. Oh mean! I am not a fan of the most of the mainstream songs but this is getting too far. How does pop music is much worser than Famine, poverty and wars? They are blind and doesn't know the history. They say 2010s sucks because of the bad music, technology, politics and games. Oh mean! Wars and depression are much worser. Nostalgiatards should go back in the 1930s and they will suffer.

Oh my God, you people are PATHETIC — voting 2010's because you don't like the music or cartoons. Please, I would like to introduce the 1930's:
The Stock Market crashed. Everyone is in poverty, the Second Sino-Japanese War (mostly the Nanjing Massacre), World War II, civil wars in China and Spain, the Holodomor (6-9 million Ukrainians dead thanks to a famine), and a lot of other bad things too.
Yes, there are bad things about the 2010's too, but it doesn't compare to having another World War happen and everyone being in poverty.

Well, this was the worst decade ever. The Great Depression was occurring, Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany, the Holocaust began, and at the end of that decade, WWII began. But for each decade, a lot of good things actually happened like this one, Jazz was high in it's popularity and there were some good movies.

I'd say this decade is the worst, even though the 2010s are a bad decade culturally, this decade is known mostly for the wars and the Great Depression when suicide rates were really high and the economy was intensely bad, so overall, this is when the World suffered most.

The great recession continued on in this decade until about 2016, but the media tried to cover that up despite the fact there were no jobs in this span of time. Employers used social media as a honey pot, and fired a lot of people due to the lack of privacy measure on the platforms back then. The rich got richer, the poor got poorer, and the middle class got decimated to the point of non-existence. Communism became mainstream among the youth, despite its bloody past. China basically became the leaders of the global hegemon. Plenty of new red tape and taxes were introduced in this decade; terrorism was running rampant alongside extremist ideologies due to social media being unregulated... do I have to go on? Yes, it is the worst decade in recent memory, you'd have to go back to ww2 and further to find ones comparable.

This Decade Eats! Here's why...

2010-We were STILL recovering from The Great Recession, many small businesses basically ended.
2011-Most of the entertainment world was recycled stuff...especially in the movie world! Then we had Occupy Wall Street!
2012-This was probably the pinnacle of the 2010s because 2012 was supposedly the end of the world (I wish)!
2013-The Great Recession ended...but we had to rebuild the damage that it left us!
2014-The riots in Ferguson, Missouri separated many people more than ever. That, and Robin Williams died that year.
2015-The escalation of shootings and movements.
2016-Donald Trump as our president and a lot of celebrity deaths in one year!
2017-Hurricanes destroying America, probably even more so than Hurricane Katrina!
2018-That year was basically a Celebrity Witch Hunt and the Me Too Movement!
2019-You can't go anywhere without offending someone!

And from my perspective...the 2010s eats for me, here's ...more

I would honestly clump the 2000s and 2010s into just one mass of being forgettable. In the 2000s, the most memorable moments were 9/11, a non stop war, the great recession, and probably the one bright side was Obama getting elected (which was one of the last instances of having a somewhat unified country). The 2010s are now gone, and the only memorable aspects about this era is Trump becoming president. Tech did advance a lot in this decade, but nothing that completely revolutionized the world, we're still dealing with a non stop war, and the world is literally on fire. Quite frankly, this chunk of time is becoming horrible, and unlike before, there's no sign of getting out of this.

This the worst decade that I had ever witnessed. Okay here is how the things go. Stuff was still awesome in 2003. I was born than. 2004 things were still pretty awesome T.V. was still good family guy in it's prime. Good movies like anchorman. 2005 T.V. was still awesome. 2006 is when things really started to get Downhill. Movies were bad. Only decent movie was 300 rise of an empire. 2007 is when things really started to suck. The only good shows to watch is the Big Bang. It is the only good show on T.V.. But than 3 years later we reached the 2010's decade. Things were terrible. I hate the 2010's. The 2000's was an okay decade up until 2007. That is when stuff got bad. At least the 1930's did not have zika virus and terror attacks. Here we are now in 2017. 2016 sucked though. And I hate 2017. 2010's is a garbage decade.

This was the beginning of the lawyers taking over the government, the decade of "the ends justify the means", and the true beginning of myself before anyone else. The decay of civility, personal responsibility, and the few deciding for the many begins with the 60's.

Gold rushes happened, it was all a struggle to become rich. It all happened in most developing countries, such as America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. It was also extremely pointless.

The Civil what and the KKK formed. I hate nostalgia elitists so much. You think the Civil War is better than pop music? If so. Get help please.

During that time, it was civility, lawyers took over the government
Should be at the top..

Nostalgiatards, Do you want to know about 1940s? Holocaust, World War II, Colonization of Japan in Southeast Asia, Genocide of Jews, Pearl Harbor Attack and Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are the main highlights of this decade. Do you think that Fortnite and Justin Bieber are much worser than events that I mentioned?

Germany in those times why the hell did they vote for Hitler.
Hitler and the Nazi's ruined the world in World War 2.
People vote for 2010s because the music is not their taste or 2016 famous people died.
The only thing you'd like about being a 1940s kid is that you finish school when you are twelve years old!

The 2010s are NOT worse than the 40's. The 40's had WWII, the Holocaust (also part of WWII but still), the start of the Cold War, and communism. If some bad music or T.V. shows are worse than this, then I don't know what to say.

70 Million Deaths from a war that sure started in the ladder part of 1939 but most of them died in this decade, the beginning of the cold war, and the many other atrocities that are too numerous to list.

Covid 19, mass lockdowns, and communism has become acceptable as democracy rapidly deteriorates alongside rights and freedoms. The Russo Ukrainian war is in full swing, and due to various reasons a global food shortage is on the horizon, inflation is beyond anyone's control, and the world is on its way to collapse due to the various blatant and irresponsible blunder form the previous decade.

I hate this decade already. I thought 2020 was gonna be awesome since I was graduating high school that year - but NO! COVID comes along and ruins everything! Not to mention the election that same year in which Biden won and Trump refused to acknowledge his loss. And that's why the attack on the Capitol by Trump supporters happened. Oh and let's not forget the many, many, many, MANY shootings that occur in the US alone. Whether it be grocery stores, spas, retirement homes, aquariums, birthday parties, car shows, schools, places of worship… one of the many reasons why I want to leave the US and move to somewhere like England. But believe me, this decade is already horrible and I'm not liking how things are going.

2020 began with among some of the most tragic events that surpass 2016-2019. Including the first major worldwide crisis since World War II being the Covid-19 pandemic. Sadly, with how downgraded politicans of some countries have become over the years, a new cultural shift to technology and a decline are likely. What's next, we're living in a similar reality of Marvel comics and Hanna Barbara cartoons?

What are we gonna do if the COVID-19 pandemic is still going?! And besides, it's not even the end of the world. Why the hell isn't this decade higher? Someone should move this higher for me. I hope the next year should be better. The COVID-19 pandemic should be over already.

Oh yeah like that's all that happened in the 2000s.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone film came out.
Dial up is dead
The Sims video games started.
Video games pick one Mario is Missing (90s) or Luigi's Mansion (2000s)
Pokemon Gen 1 was the 90s.
Windows Pinball was still around and the original minesweeper

...but I was entering the times of becoming a teenager.

Here's my opinion/timeline:

1999: Born

2000 - 2003: Awesome years! Best movies, best shows, best games and best music of the late 90s and early to mid 00s

2004 - 2007: Great years, but not as good as the earlier years, but still had a great childhood

2008 - 2012: These years were okay, things were starting to change a lot

2013 - 2014: Bad, things were starting to suck

2015 - 2016: Awful. Things were getting worse.

2017 - Present: $#! tt¥ music, movies, T.V. shows, etc.

I really loved the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and even the 2000s, but my favorite years were (2007-2012). So, I will say 2013 was when I noticed things were starting to suck! 2013 and 2014 were crap, and 2015 had nothing super exciting going on, I do think 2016 and 2017 were TERRIBLE! 2018 seems to be a little better, but 2020 will be great though.

I think the 2000s except for a few things that happened in America was a more calmer decade than the 2010s which is more hate speech to everything existing. Possibly because social media wasn't really around or had just started in a certain year but not like now.

Rape culture was a thing, women's rights only existed on paper, and violent crime was abundant, and a lot serial killers thrived in this decade.

And there were also a handful of bad teen idols. Donny Osmond is basically the 70s version of pre-puberty Justin Bieber and you can see the similarities. He has the same bowl cut, the same shrill, high-pitched girly voice and the same annoying songs.

My mom and dad won't shut up about how great this decade is when it's really not.

Nothing to do here. Almost all these 1990 - 2000 things you love today never existed yet.
Was never good. Never will

No class. Horrible T.V. programs, very few great movies. Explosive gas prices along with gas rationing. Richard Nixon and Watergate. Long hair, afros.

glamorized serial killers, ghetto wars, Miami drug cartels, and Cold War fears peak like no other decade. Only real highlight came at the very, very end end when the Berlin wall came falling down, came falling down.

I suppose it was the year before the most hated pop star of the 21st century was born.
Most hated because of social media.

The biggest United States city was dangerous in the 80's and 70's and Ronald was a bad president.

This was actually the best decade.

When the Rwandan genocide happend the worst genocide in modern history and Osama bin laden attacked Tanzania. Both Oklahoma city bombing and columbine and the whole scandal with Clinton

Wow. We had the gulf war, LA riots, Waco siege, Oklahoma City bombing, Columbine, and a crappy politician who got impeached for a sexual act.

The Gulf War, rwandan genocide, LA riots, columbine, oklahoma bombings, etc. I don't like people who think the 90s were good just because Doom came out in '93 and "music was good"

Overrated decade, but still 8 times better than the disgrace of the 10s.

The San Francisco Earthquake that killed over 3000 people.
This should be higher.

This should be either #1 or #2, An Earthquake in San Francisco killed over 3000 people!

This should be #2 or #3 at the most!

That decade started the San Francisco Earthquake
