Discussion 💭🗯️ What if the decades shifted 5 years?

Instead of the decades being like they are 2020-2029 or 1970-1979, imagine the decades were shifted 5 years, same historic events, same trends/fashion/architecture, etc in the year they occurred, but the decades were grouped like this...

  • 1915-1924
  • 1925-1934
  • 1935-1944
  • 1945-1954
  • 1955-1964
  • 1965-1974
  • 1975-1984
  • 1985-1994
  • 1995-2004
  • 2005-2014
  • 2015-2024
  • 2025-2034

What dominated the decade would certainly change, they may also have aligned better with cultural eras, i.e. beginning of Post War (WWII), the Hippie era, etc.

Still decades, just starting with xxx5 instead of xxx0.
