A decade consists of 10 years. If the first decade of the Christian
Era, (screw political correctness), starts with year 1 then the last
year of a decade if you wish to be consistent, ends with year 10, if you
wish to be consistent. Besides when you refer to a decade such as the
sixties you refer more to a zeitgeist, rather than an actual decade.
Hell a lot of music people identify with the 60's actually was produced
in the early '70's. It's all malleable depending on what you wish to
measure, but given that a decade has 10 years and that we begin number
at years with1 then the last year of a decade ends with 0.

That is the convention for centuries, but not typically for decades.
We speak of "the 1990s," not "the 200th decade AD."
