People haven't really been using that wording to refer to the current decade since the 90s, so it feels kind of dated.
I think that’s just because there aren’t any universally agreed on shortcuts to refer to the 2000-2009 and the 2010-2019 decades. Not enough people use nought for the “noughties” to have caught on, and “the teens” leaves out 2010-2012. At some point I expect it to comeback, possibly ironically at first, but once it’s back I think it will stick around again. People love short cutesy labels.

Most I hear people refer to 2010 to 2019 as just "the twenty tens"

i've heard "the new 20s" to differentiate it from the 1920s

By the power invested in me (by myself), I hereby decree the 2020s to be "The Terrible Twenties"

Well, the 2020s right now isn't roaring, so you can add a "Roaring" before the 20s to mean the 1920s :P

Some other phrasing, nickname, slang, pun, or something could take off instead. I guess if there's some distinctive attribute to the decade maybe it'll get an adjective to contrast it with the roaring 20s.
