The WTF decade

Is it me or does it seem kind of late in the game for this decade retrospective trash journalism to start showing up? Maybe it means the 00s were too weird for the cheap meme-pushers to get a marketable bead on. Or maybe it means that the popular culture has finally become so overheated with the industrial feedback loop of commercial kitsch and manufactured nostalgia it has generated that we're no longer capable of distinguishing one ten years of post-modern goo from whatever came before it well enough to turn it into a decent magazine cover anymore. Or maybe we're just bored with the concept of linear time altogether... which wouldn't be so bad, really.
