The Noughties

Welcome to a new decade. The next ten years are your future, THE future. While we see the noughties fade into history as a failed decade it's time to step up.

The noughties were a time of realisation, human society realised we cannot expect boom we cannot expect growth, we cannot expect nature to be kind. But apart from Obama what did the 00s really give us? The whole planet seems intent on making things easier, smaller and cleaner and cheaper. What are we? Obese skint eco-mentalists with no desire for ambition or gain?

What happened to exploration, adaptation, success and PROGRESSION? It feels like the human race regressed in the noughties and with good reason. NASA has dumped modern space technology and gone back 40 years because it is 'Cheaper' , BA dropped Concorde because of minor incidents and fashion was more recycled than a Barbara Streisand record from a Charity shop in Slough.

Seriously, the micro-trends that plagued the noughties just patched together trends that were already there. Case in point; New Rave. We need brand new fashion pushing the creative boundaries and showing what the human race is really made of, not re-patched copies. Someone please take inspiration from past decades and put it into a completely new context!

So hear this.. Quit complaining, quit making excuses and get out there. Make yourself heard and get into the history books, then at least the Teenies will be something worth remembering, after all we are the inheritors.
