My recollection is more that the “oh” was from people saying saying “oh-five”, “oh-nine”, etc. I don’t remember people widely saying “twenty-oh-whatever”, it was just “two-thousand-and-five”, or “oh-five”, etc. But 2010 and later were “twenty-whatever”.
Shit! I just heard it today, and they said 2022
It fits if you pronounce it “twenty twenty two.” And I like it with the alliteration.
Fun fact: 2010 was the first year to have a wide variation in pronunciation.
I believe it. I’m partial to “twenty ten” myself.
I heard someone refer to the 2000s as “the noughties” and to be honest I don’t know if I love it or hate it. I’m certainly not indifferent to it.

How else would it be pronounced?
Edit: I’m dumb
Two thousand twenty two. Like the actual number would be pronounced
I’m right there with you. He doesn’t say since “one thousand nine hundred sixty nine” in the original song.
Two Thousand twenty two
