Happy New Decade!

There was a year 0. There wasn't a 1958, though.

Wow ... so this means that I don't exist?     Or maybe I exist and I don't exist ...

Meh, this is just another new year. Get back to me when the 203rd decade begins in another year.

Why is this so misunderstood? That's like saying the start of year 1 began 365 days after 0. No...year 1 ENDED after 365 days. Year 2 begins on day 366.

Thus, the decade ends tonight. The new decade begins tomorrow.

I was born in May 1969.  I was slightly alive for the decade of the 60s.  If one was born in 1970 they were born in the decade of the 70s.  If people want to make it more complicated than that it's on them.

2020! 

To me, it seems like the first 20 years of each century are just a warm-up. The REAL meat of the century began at Midnight on Wednesday!
Because this decade will be universally accepted as the 20's, while 2000-2019 were basically nameless, so those years seem on par with a warm-up or preseason sports game.
Think also about the 1900's: We have the Roaring 20's, and the Great Depression of the 30's, the 40's characterized by WWII, the Booming 50's, and each decade up until 2000 has a unique identity. Sure, plenty of stuff happened between 1900 and 1919, but it lacks a cohesive identity with a time period, and that's exactly how I feel about 2000-2019 as well. So, needless to say, I'm quite excited for the 20's to begin, and this year in particular should be a wild one!
