19XX

19XX is the general identification given to the time anomaly that makes up the timeline of Dark Side Radio. Though the site of Wattpad itself is not confined to this period, Wattpadia (Another result of the anomaly) is based in this timeline. It is believed that the period represents a span of time between 1950 and 1970.

Period Characteristics
19XX is representative of the mid-century style of existence (1940s-1960s), and is characterized by retro-futurism, industrial design, Modernist, Googie, late Art-Deco architecture- with influences of industry, the metropolis, suburban life, Norman Rockwell, and advanced Spytech.

Major influences for the year 19XX include:
 * Team Fortress 2 (Primarily).
 * Metroville (The Incredibles).
 * The Fallout Series.
 * The setting of Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events
 * Mad Men
 * Bioshock
 * We Happy Few
 * Half-Life 2

Actual Timing of 19XX
When the Wattpadian time anomaly entered this realm, it brought with it a barrage of cultural contradictions collected from across time. Memes and technology from beyond the 1970s descended upon the world, causing great confusion and panic. With time no longer being discernible, historians decided that every calendar year to come after would be considered "19XX." There is, however, a way to discern how many years have passed after the anomaly's arrival, classified by the notations B.T. and A.T. (Before and After Truman). This is representative of President Harry Truman's end-of-term and ascension to the Spaghettiverse (Which would be 0 A.T., with the anomaly appearing about 2 years A.T.). This system is used by historians and WDSR's Correspondents to keep records of time passage. In terms of our timeline, the WDSR universe would be about 64 years A.T. in 2017.
