The post that was quoted here has been removedWell, a decade is any period of ten years, so any new year can be said to start a new decade. You can say that the decade of the 2010s has just started, for example.
However, this is the last year of the 201st decade of the Current Era, and the 202nd starts next year. And the XXIst century started in 2001, not 2000.

The post that was quoted here has been removedDefinitely. That makes more sense to me when talking about decades. With centuries is different because we count them as nineteenth, twentieth, twenty first (ordinally? How do you say it in English?) but since we don't do this with decades, I don't see why we shouldn't include 1990 in the 90s.
