it all depends on how you define decade lol this is a dumb question. 2023 is the start of a decade if you want it to be.
The definition of a decade is a “period of 10 years.”
Hence, 2013-2022 will be a ‘decade’

How can you have a debate with the definition “any period of 10 years?”

People use decades and centuries as a unit of time related directly to dates, not always just any 10 years. This is seen in the “21st century” Again I’m not the one generating that debate, was just reiterating it to see what people on here thought

The concept of a year is an arbitrary number that a consensus of people agreed to go with.
Since the principle article is arbitrary, the terms to describe groups of those articles (decades/centuries/eons) are therefore arbitrary and open to interpretation.

Year 0 to year 9 is a decade. Once it hits 0 again it's new. Similar to a standard numbering system, you only have 0-9.
