Nomination for Rob And K-Stew as Couple of the Decade

By Ryan McKee : Please allow me to officially nominate Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as The Couple of the 2010s.

For every decade, there is one celebrity couple that embodies the era’s zeitgeist. The 1960s had John Lennon and Yoko Ono, representing the revolutionary times and the thin line between art and crap. The 1980s had Charles and Diana, feeding the era’s obsession with extravagance and unattractive people in outrageous clothing.

 The 1990s brought Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, defining the backlash to ’80s excess and the accompanying darker side. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took the 2000s, a decade as infatuated with celebrity culture as saving the world. (You’ll notice I skipped the 1970s, a decade in which people were too busy with disco and key parties to stay in couplings.)

Rob and K-Stew should be the next ones to join that list. Why? Because they’re the opposite of the decade before. The ’60s focused on building culture while the ’70s tore it down with cocaine and polyester. The ’80s were over the top, and so the ’90s were minimalist with grunge music and indie film. The 2000s loved Paris Hilton and Perez Hilton, and so the 2010s will inevitably welcome more introverted and innocent icons.
