Any comments on this?
This is wha t I told NCDOT. Considering how Winston-Salem is much more "complex" in recent years, this could be needed.

1991-2017 shift: https://www.reddit.com/r/generationology/comments/1tu5mdm/earlymid_1991_to_springfall_2017_is_one_deep_era/

This is to help "the surroundings," perhaps?
This is typed by me, Brian Shear Jr. (who is also known as "ProfessionalBee")., who is also a 2026 High School Graduate I had been spreading my posts to Reddit, about the experiences that I am aware of.
I did explain his in these two posts:
https://www.reddit.com/r/generationology/comments/1u7xbn6/june_2026_is_the_proper_beginning_of_the_20262028/ (this is about the Late 2020s)
and
https://www.reddit.com/r/generationology/comments/1tu5mdm/earlymid_1991_to_springfall_2017_is_one_deep_era/ (this describes how 1991-2017 was one era)
, but I will explain more here:
The 2020s does seem to be divided into these;
Jan 2020 to Dec 2022 are the Early 2020s.
2020 as a whole, was a direct continuation to the October-December 2017 breaking point. Hereby, the COVID 19 Pandemic Lockdown made things even more noticeable that this "could" be a new era. 2021 was the sleeker version of 2020. Mid-Late 2021 and into "most?" of the beginning half of 2022 pivoted even greater than merely "the sleekness."
Jan 2023 to May 2023 was the transition point between the Early 2020s and into the Core 2020s, in which this period also served as the response to the sub-transiton during mid-late 2021 and into 2022. The Lockdown in this period was slowly ending, the 2020s maturing as a decade, and more.
June-July 2023 to Dec 2025 was the core 2020s, or just Mid 2020s. It was a direct response to exiting out of the effects of the Pandemic and some of the other early 2020s aspects, while tapping into AI, further maturation of what was set in the late 2010s, and much more.
Jan 2026 to May 2026 was the Mid to Late Pivot.
June-July 2026, right now, is in the entrance into the 2026-2028 shift, and is essentially Late 2020s. AI is maturing, the Complexities of other "New Technology" is maturing, shifts in "Demographics," and more.
Jan to May 2029 may be the transition, but June 2029 would likely be the unofficial beginning into the 2030s.
This may had seemed to "cliche," too simple, and even poorly written; but I chose to make this post simpler to read to allow it to still be considerably effective.

Greetings. I know this comment I had created, had been on lots of certain posts, but I need to further emphasize it:
When things are considered on how it is today, here is one era consideration: The 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s really form this one transitional era from the previous 20th Century world to the 21st Century World, with Early-mid 1991 to Spring-Fall 2017 being the specific transition. In this period, social aspects, technology, norms, and further were all being gradually sharpened. You had the World Wide Web 1.0 in 1991 to the rest of the 1990s, Messages on the various acts of Inclusion (including music, social norms, and health) gradually being discovered for the next 25-26 years in this period, things became both more restricted and free when it came to Growing Pains in this transition, and much further. It is really hard to explain, but before 1991, things still felt largely it was from the last, honestly "several?" decades with the "new" features, if happening, often or usually being only "embellishments."
Early-Mid 1991 to Mid-Late 1993 was the beginning of the era, while Mid-Late 2015 to Mid-Late 2017 was the ending.
Lots of the widely known tragedies and other deep events between 1991 to 2017, were not just "tragic," however, they shifted how things would be defined in the 21st century. Around Spring-Summer of 2017 and especially leading to Late 2017, the world gradually became more "established" in how things are today, but with gradual transitions (COVID 19 Pandemic, the recent inflation, 4K and LED Technology, and further). Today, there is heavy nostalgia for the 1990s like it is the 1960s, and the very early 2010s feels and looks like "recent history." However, even the 1990s also feel "of standard," even in today. 2025 and early 2026 had shown how this is to be. It is just difficult to explain all in this narrative.
Note: I know I said it in the comment, but May 2017 to October/November 2017 is the full closure of the 1991-2017 shift. Sometime in early May and gradually in the Summer, it became more clear. Note: I edited this on May 21 2026.
Next two edts on May 24 2026: or maybe sometime in the end of April 2017 and leading to October-November 2017 (or October-December 2017), being the complete closure. Also, the 1990s being treated like the 1960s, also is one end of a several-edged sword; the 1990s are "neo-classical" meaning they can be both relic and standard too.
To me; this year which is 2026, is already feeling quite different, and is becoming the "next phase" from the 2017-2024/2025 era. I believe 2026-2028 will be a deep shift, which will usher into the 2030s and subsequent era.
This post is not to be stubborn and for me to gain a "know it all" persona; but things are shifting to the deepest levels, and confusion is all over.
There are reasons, why today, even 2014 feels both 6 months old and 20 years old at the same time. And the reasons; why 2019 is essentially a 2020s year!!!!!
In this 2026-2028 era; expect for computers to now have sophisticated data which can help unlock and discover hidden factors, to help free several aspects.
For the rough edges of 10 years ago, to finally be straightened.
and, why age in lots of aspects, is treated as "merely a number."
and even more!!!!!
Note: this can also be seen in other posts. This is to help others to realize the "possible" revelations.
One other thing;
the 1991-2017, 2017-2025, and 2026-2028 shifts are also tied to even the history of occurrences that happened even periods before 1991.
Right now, it is a pivotal phase where lots of things can both be revealed and shifted too. The 2026-2028 period would be of the discovery of complexities and the expansions of what had been in place to lesser or non-existent aspects. The surroundings are indeed shifting.
June-July 2026 will be the complete beginning of the 2026-2028 shift, cleaning what the 2017-2026 shift began, and responding to what the 1991-2017 shift had set.
I did say previously, of how June 2026 is the beginning of the shift,
well, I believe that this may extend into July 2026.
Not everything is a "clean start."
This post that I had created, still aligns with the June-July 2026 shift. Please read all :
Also, look at my other post:
I did explain it here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/1uehj71/the_2020s_subdivision_is_very_distinct_from_the/
https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/1uegj1i/earlymid_1991_to_springfall_2017_is_one_notable/
I am aware that several express how the 2020s is another 2000s. Well, I also am aware of certain reasons.
While there are several reasons, that are also explained in the links that are in the beginning of this page, the 2020s is essentially the "real" 2000s of the 21st century. The 2000s was more of a gradual period that blended the 20th and 21st centuries, but, the 2020s is the very first total decade (I said, "total," because the very late 2010s were essentially the beginning, if looked at the link) , that "gives off" this phenomenon that transcends what is even considered "The New Century" and even transcend the phenomenon of"The Millennium."
In the other link, I spoke on the Subdivision of the 2020s. It is heavily (and seemingly) mirroring the 2020s, but is also more "tweaked up." March 2020 was essentially September 2001 (if anybody knows the "clear" reasons of why). However, lots of people also perceived, even the months before September 2001 to have "an off feeling." Though, to me, the "Off Feeling " was probably even more noticeable in 2018 and 2019, than it was in 2000-the first half of 2001. Late 2021 (maybe the last four months) and down to the First Half of 2023, were essentially, maybe 2002-2004 of the 2020s. It was an odd hybrid of the beginning and the center of the decade. June-July 2023 (I did say June 2023 in the link, but now I choose to extend it to July 2023), was really the complete beginning of the Mid 2020s or Core 2020s. To me, this was probably like, how Late 2003 and into 2004 was like. It was the beginning of the core, meaning , there were remnants of the earlier period; but it was also a notable shift too. 2024, 2025, and levels of Early-Mid 2026 are like a continuation of what was becoming more prominent in Mid-Late 2023. This period was really, like a hybrid of 2004-2005 and 2006-2007/early-mid 2008. This was the "True" core of the decades. The Mid 2020s was really the heavy transition from the effects of the Pandemic and Late 2010s, and more into the solidification of the identity of 2020s (AI, Inflation becoming more notable, Futuristic- filled emphasis, and the likes). June-July 2026 and into 2028, is the period right now, that does seem like the "True 2020s." Things that had been taken from the Early-Mid 2020s are being solidified and extended . With the 2000s comparison, it is difficult. ...........This time I have to base it, more on blending the numbers and impacts. 2006-2008 was seen as a transition from the classic 2000s and into the "newer 2000s." However, I also see this era as in being like the "Mid-Late 2007/2008 to 2009" era, which was the "True" Late 2000s (especially Late 2008 and into 2009). It took what was present in the Early and Mid 2000s featured, but tweaked it for the end of the decade. The 2026-2028 era, may extend into the beginning months of 2029. Several expressed on how 2009 was the "unofficial" beginning of the 2010s. especially mid-late 2009. I would express, that maybe in Spring-Summer 2029 (unless something would occur in 2028), would be the total official beginning of the 2030s, outside the number. I hate to sound like I am writing too much, but the 2020s is also quite fast paced (Especially 2023-2024 and onward). I believe the 2026-2028 shift, may already began to feel like a newer version of the Early 2010s quite soon.(and even partly , right now). However, I still believe that 2028-2029 will be the further prelude to the 2030s.
One thing also about the 2020s, it is not just being "another 2000s," but is also extending what the 2000s brought.
In this decade, lots of the discovery of things that were difficult and impossible in the previous decades (and even in "overall history") is becoming very dominant in the 2020s. Not only is there Artificial Intelligence, but there is broader shift of norms, a "phenomenon" of Renascence (being the consideration of "old fashioned" aspects returning for a new era), and much more.
This is truly the "Complete Decade" and more.
Tell your views, and feel free to read it again, for better details.
This is a shifting period!!!!!!!!!!!

Greetings. So I was attempting to create this temporary Facebook account on my Galaxy Phone.
Due to a mix of technical difficulties (and my own failures), I was putting in my phone number, but I mistyped it by accident. Because I am more noticeable than I was before, I considered how this could had been a phone number to somebody else. I found out that it probably was.
This may seem like I am over-reacting, but it seems trifling for me to accidently repeatedly putting the same number, especially since lots of people get Spam Messages.
I am just expressing this.

Lots of the widely known tragedies and other deep events between 1991 to 2017, were not just "tragic," however, they shifted how things would be defined in the 21st century. Around Spring-Summer of 2017 and especially leading to Late 2017, the world gradually became more "established" in how things are today, but with gradual transitions (COVID 19 Pandemic, the recent inflation, 4K and LED Technology, and further). Today, there is heavy nostalgia for the 1990s like it is the 1960s, and the very early 2010s feels and looks like "recent history." However, even the 1990s also feel "of standard," even in today. 2025 and early 2026 had shown how this is to be. It is just difficult to explain all in this narrative.
Note: I know I said it in the comment, but May 2017 to October/November 2017 is the full closure of the 1991-2017 shift. Sometime in early May and gradually in the Summer, it became more clear. Note: I edited this on May 21 2026.
Next two edts on May 24 2026: or maybe sometime in the end of April 2017 and leading to October-November 2017 was the complete closure. Also, the 1990s being treated like the 1960s, also is one end of a several-edged sword; the 1990s are "neo-classical" meaning they can be both relic and standard too.
To me; this year which is 2026, is already feeling quite different, and is becoming the "next phase" from the 2017-2024/2025 era. I believe 2026-2028 will be a deep shift, which will usher into the 2030s and subsequent era.
This post is not to be stubborn and for me to gain a "know it all" persona; but things are shifting to the deepest levels, and confusion is all over.
There are reasons, why today, even 2014 feels both 6 months old and 20 years old at the same time. And the reasons; why 2019 is essentially a 2020s year!!!!!
In this 2026-2028 era; expect for computers to now have sophisticated data which can help unlock and discover hidden factors, to help free several aspects.
For the rough edges of 10 years ago, to finally be straightened.
and, why age in lots of aspects, is treated as "merely a number."
and even more!!!!!
Note: this can also be seen in other posts. This is to help others to realize the "possible" revelations.
One other thing;
the 1991-2017, 2017-2025, and 2026-2028 shifts are also tied to even the history of occurrences that happened even periods before 1991.
Right now, it is a pivotal phase where lots of things can both be revealed and shifted too. The 2026-2028 period would be of the discovery of complexities and the expansions of what had been in place to lesser or non-existent aspects. The surroundings are indeed shifting.
June 2026 will be the complete beginning of the 2026-2028 shift, cleaning what the 2017-2025 shift began, and responding to what the 1991-2017 shift had set.
October-November 2017 (or maybe overalls between October to the beginning of December 2017) to May 2026 was essentially the "true" Early 21st century. Right now, is the entry to the next phase of the 21st century.
(note I edited the Spring-Fall claim on May 20 2026)
Greetings. I know this comment I had created, had been on lots of certain posts, but I need to further emphasize it:
When things are considered on how it is today, here is one era consideration: The 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s really form this one transitional era from the previous 20th Century world to the 21st Century World, with Early-mid 1991 to Spring-Fall 2017 being the specific transition. In this period, social aspects, technology, norms, and further were all being gradually sharpened. You had the World Wide Web 1.0 in 1991 to the rest of the 1990s, Messages on the various acts of Inclusion (including music, social norms, and health) gradually being discovered for the next 25-26 years in this period, things became both more restricted and free when it came to Growing Pains in this transition, and much further.

The 2020s does seem to be divided into these;
Jan 2020 to Dec 2022 are the Early 2020s.
2020 as a whole, was a direct continuation to the October-November 2017 breaking point. Hereby, the COVID 19 Pandemic Lockdown made things even more noticeable that this "could" be a new era. 2021 was the sleeker version of 2020. The ending months of 2021 and into "most?" of the beginning half of 2022 pivoted even greater than merely "the sleekness."
Jan 2023 to May 2023 was the transition point between the Early 2020s and into the Core 2020s. The Lockdown slowly ending, the 2020s maturing as a decade, and more.
June 2023 to Dec 2025 was the core 2020s, or just Mid 2020s. It was a direct response to exiting out of the effects of the Pandemic and some of the other early 2020s aspects, while tapping into AI, further maturation of what was set in the late 2010s, and much more.
Jan 2026 to May 2026 was the Mid to Late Pivot.
June 2026, right now, is in the entrance into the 2026-2028 shift, and is essentially Late 2020s. AI is maturing, the Complexities of other "New Technology" is maturing, shifts in "Demographics," and more.
Jan to May 2029 may be the transition, but June 2029 would likely be the unofficial beginning into the 2030s.
This may had seemed to "cliche," too simple, and even poorly written; but I chose to make this post simpler to read to allow it to still be considerably effective.
Please tell your review.
The 2020s is seemingly , certainly an era, that is distinct from, both, the 2000s and from most of the 2010s.
