A decade consists of 10 years. If the first decade of the Christian Era,

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.
So did the 1990s start in 1990 or 1991?
Logically in 91.
