decadewarp
/ˈdɛkeɪdˌwɔːp/nounVerified NewThe distorted sense in which a decade recently past feels simultaneously current and impossibly dated.
The 2010s are both "just now" and museum pieces; one's old posts read as someone else's. The warp is uneven across domains — phones date faster than clothes.
Etym. — decade + warp — historical time bent, a cousin of tempowarp working on years rather than playback.
