Why is it that when someone says "The 20s" my mind immediately goes to the 1920s instead of the current decade? (lemmit.online)

I don't actually think I've heard of this decade referred to as simply "the twenties," but always "the twenty twenties." Very rarely "the two thousand twenties."

Is there something special about the decades of the last century that they're gonna hold onto those nicknames?
