Do you mean 10's, 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's? Or something like The Groovy Sixties?

Are you talking about those nicknames like "the golden years" or "the lost decade"?

The Roaring Twenties
The Turbulent Thirties (or Threadbare Thirties)
The Flying Forties
The Fabulous Fifites
The Swinging Sixties
70's - The Disco Era
80's - Decade of Decadence
The Naughty Nineties

This is about the 2000's from Time Magazine


Bookended by 9/11 at the start and a financial wipeout at the end, the first 10 years of this century will very likely go down as the most dispiriting and disillusioning decade Americans have lived through in the post–World War II era. We’re still weeks away from the end of ’09, but it’s not too early to pass judgment. Call it the Decade from Hell, or the Reckoning, or the Decade of Broken Dreams, or the Lost Decade. Call it whatever you want — just give thanks that it is nearly over.
