Though I love paper maps, I can look at them for hours :)

You use a flip-phone

I still use a flip-phone

I'd say about 70% of these apply to me
I could probably think of more but that's all I got for now

You still use YouTube.


I'm sorry, but YouTube is still highly relevant today. Its still the most convenient way to search videos anywhere. Snapchat isn't the only thing that's relevant today. Now, you still use Friendster would be a much better responses.

Other answers:

-You only buy physical media
-You don't have a tablet
-You still think Survivor, Big Brother, and the Apprentice are TV shows worth watching
-You bought a 50 Cent album

I wore Oakley sunglasses from 1991 to 1992.

Shirts with blatant logos were worn in the early 90s also. Remember Skidz, B.U.M. Equipment, Duck Head, Big Dogs, Body Glove and Hypercolor?

Have you ever seen reruns of "Saved By The Bell"? Lisa Turtle wore jean jackets with rhinestones in them all of the time.

I can think back to when Jordan track suits were a hot commodity.

I knew plenty of guys who wore long hair back in 1992.

Do concert shirts count as graphic tees?

"You take pictures using a camera instead of a phone"

Depends on the purpose. A lot of people rather use DSLRs for serious photography.

"You still use YouTube."

You tube is a 00's and 10's thing. I think it's even more relevant today than it was back in 2006 or 2007.

In my opinions, signs you're stuck in the 00s are:

-You still use a CRT TV set
-You still have desktop computer (I do!)
-You still burn CDs or DVDs
-You prefer DVDs over BluRay
-You actually print your digital photos

A lot of 90s trends carried over into the 00s, so it only makes sense.

'00s Youtube was quite a bit different than '10s Youtube.

In the '00s it was a way for teenagers and college students to share homemade videos of them doing drunk, stupid stuff.  Today it is a way to make money or a way to get your art/music out to the world.

Today it is a way to make money or a way to get your art/music out to the world.


It's also a good resource for TV shows, documentaries and stuff.

You're still playing PS2/Xbox/Gamecube
You still see Skunk hair on girls
You still see Armstrong bracelets
Paris Hilton is still relevant
You don't see people twerking
Your local coffee shop is 7-11, Dunkin Donuts or Yum-yum Donuts instead of Starbucks
Most people don't have short hair
You have broadband internet
Electro-pop music isn't mainstream
There's still baggy fashion
You see more kids playing outside
Nick has more variety and not just Spongebob and Fairly Oddparents. 
Miley Cyrus was a teenage girl and playing Hannah Montana and not changing her appearances.
No Justin Bieber (Although he was famous in 2009)
No Economy crash
There have only been white presidents
It is still a half analog/half digital world
You don't hear school shootings/threats as much on the news
You still watch TV with cable and not with Netflix, Huluplus, or other TV apps

A lot of 90s trends carried over into the 00s, so it only makes sense.


True. In '91, it was all about having the Oakley Frogskins and Skidz pants.

It's also become a social media place.

You're a girl and wear Ugg boots with a short skirt...and it's not winter.
You're a guy and think wide leg JNCO jeans are still cool.
Your selfies involve a mirror and show you holding your phone...even if it's a smartphone.
You think a Pontiac Aztec is a cool looking car.
You still own an MP3 player that takes batteries and has a USB plug.
You prefer online journals to social networks.
You prefer skate shoes for sneakers.
Your fashion jewelry never progressed beyond puka and hemp necklaces.
You still hang on to your old heavy TV and computer.
Your other jewelry is bling.
You think pink and green is a perfect color combination.
You'd rather talk on a desktop instant messenger than text on a phone.
You own a white belt and still wear it.
You don't think t-shirts are cool unless they boldly state where you bought them.
Your favorite songs are still ring tone rap or pop punk.

Until 2014 these were true, but then I got the modern phone.
Though I love paper maps, I can look at them for hours :)

I can't use a GPS because it gets me all mixed up. With a Google Maps print out at least I can read the directions and look ahead for where I need to go.

You still use iTunes

Whats todays alternative to itunes for apple users? (I haven't used and ipod since 2010)

It's also a good resource for TV shows, documentaries and stuff.

I remember using youtube back in 2007 to look for Goosebumps episodes. Lol, each episode only came in parts (pt.1, pt.2, pt.3).

The only popping my body does is the creaks and groans when I move my body.

I used to own a PS2 but I moved on to a PS3.

Isn't that the same thing as twerking?

I used to own a PS2 but I moved on to a PS3.

What games do you play? Ever played Infamous? That's why I want a PS4 eventually, I like platforming games.

What games do you play? Ever played Infamous? That's why I want a PS4 eventually, I like platforming games.


Just 1 WWE game.

You still play Sudoku in the morning before you're off to work.

You can't get The Ketchup Song out of your head.

Isn't that the same thing as twerking?


No, it's different. Twerking is just jiggling the fat in the butt while not moving the rest of the body. Booty popping is using the core the make powerful 'pop' movements with the body. I could show some videos, but the twerking vids would likely get me banned from this website...

You still treat Justin Timberlake's "Justified" like it's the first edition copy of Michael Jackson's "Thriller".

Just 1 WWE game.

You need more games!

What games do you play? Ever played Infamous? That's why I want a PS4 eventually, I like platforming games.


WOW you want a PS4 for Infamous Second Son, it was a decent game to me. But I HIGHLY recommend The Last of Us, Wolf Among Us, Injustice.

I never played the first InFamous because what's the point having both an Xbox360 and PS3, as most share games. What are the other three about?

Well XBOX 360 and even the XBOXOne are more for people who prefer platforming games,first person shooters, and sports games. While PS3/PS4 are more for people who prefer fighting genre, RPGS, and Third person shooters. For example if your anime type gamer get it for PS4, XBOX type gamers will most likely eat you alive of they see you playing that type of game. WiiU looks pretty freakin cool, however I heard that it appeals more towards casuals.

In a way it's all about using your butt.

You need more games!


I don't need anymore games, one game is all I need now. I don't want to own a lot of games anymore cause I got tired of having a stack of them and playing one game and ignoring the others so it came down to just one game and that's all I have enough time for, I come home from a busy day at work, take my shower, use the computer and playing my wrestling game. That's my day in a nutshell.

You're still saying, "This is Sparta".

You still use Windows XP or Windows Vista.

I still use Windows Vista.

You still have a 00s mindset, but you don't notice it's the second half of the 10s already. I do sometimes  :\'(, because that was my youth!

You think southern hip-hop is the greatest form of hip-hop everywhere.

You think Avril Lavigne is "edgy" and "hardcore".

You play Sudoku like your life depends on it.

You still think low-rise jeans are sexy.

I still use Windows Vista.

Windows Vista is horrible and buggy. You should upgrade at least when Windows 10 comes out later this year.

At home we had the system that when my parents bought a new computer, I got the old one..
so I spent years on a Windows 3.1 until my parents bought XP, so I got their Windows 98.
When Windows 7 arrived, we ditched the XP and then I got my own laptop :-)

Windows Vista is horrible and buggy. You should upgrade at least when Windows 10 comes out later this year.


It's been buggy in the past, We're thinking about upgrading.

You still talk about eventually renting that "new movie" Avatar on DVD.

You still talk about 9/11 and you probably do after 14 years.

Ok, I never heard any of that from the 2000s! Dude kind of transcends decades really.

I think people still say it.

You still use a landline phone at home because it's cheaper than your pay-as-you-go mobile. This is me!

Ok, I never heard any of that from the 2000s! Dude kind of transcends decades really.

I've heard "Thats dry!", "Bling", "Shizzle" and a few others.

What about "all that and a bag of chips", or is that more 90s?  ;D

Probably 90s; I heard it quite frequently then.

I agree. ;D

What about "all that and a bag of chips", or is that more 90s?  ;D

90's! I used to hear that in grade school, along with "Psych!" and "Holy schnikes!" Not vocabulary I personally used, but that's what was in.

What about "all that and a bag of chips", or is that more 90s?  ;D


What does that mean?

You plug in your Phone/iPod to your computer to sync music when you can just stream it


I don't think this is necessarily the case.  Data plans can still be pretty pricey and to me it's not worth it to stream something (and pay for the data) that I can just sync to my phone.

Pretty much all guys call their guy friends "dude" even today.

An expression used when someone thinks highly of themselves. Ex: "He thinks he's all that and a bag of chips."

90's! I used to hear that in grade school, along with "Psych!" and "Holy schnikes!" Not vocabulary I personally used, but that's what was in.


I almost never hear people say "NOT!" anymore either, but i feel like it was still somewhat common in the early 00s.

"NOT!" and "Psych!" were annoying things to hear and really didn't make anything funny. Just dumb.

I still have long hair I plan to cut pretty soon.
I still wear clothes to where they aren't too big.
I still pretty much only listen to 2000s music.
My novel is a 2000s series set in the Earlier 2000s.
I stopped playing the Gamecube but I recently played my 64 and PS2.
I basically think about the 2000s at least once everyday.

Yup.

Same. I have 90s music on my Ipod from 94 and onwards. My 2000s music collection is till 2007.

If you played True Crime Streets of LA and still have a copy, the game makes you feel as if your still in 2003. The game carried that vide as bias as the may sound. When I play or watch TCSOLA gameplays, I'm instantly sent back in time. Especially if I play my ipod.

You still play with your PS2 console.

You still think AOL is still your home page.

I never used AOL. Yahoo was my thing.

What was wrong with AOL?

You use a flip-phone
You take pictures using a camera instead of a phone
You use real maps or you print maps from the internet instead of using GPS
You send SMS messages instead of using WhatsApp

These all apply to me! Can you think of any others?


The bottom one is the only thing I do because I don't like the look of myself. The only thing 2000s about me is my taste in music, fashion (not including the baggy jeans) and to an extent, video games. I like my video games 3D, open world and having lots of customisation.

I still have long hair I plan to cut pretty soon.


I think short hair on anyone is ugly, really.

It's probably her preference.

Actually, a lot of those things don't apply to the 00s :P

For instance in 2005 I had a Sagem my-56 which had a 1 megapixel camera on it :) The phone I have now is more basic, although I did buy it for £13 including £10 credit whereas my Sagem cost me £50 back in the good old days! And GPS was available since the late 90s, by the 2000s they were well popular ;) Also, this thread is really sad :P

You still think AOL is still your home page.

I actually still use it, but not as a homepage because it often takes a while to load. I have had an email account on there for over a decade. I primarily use it for job hunting because I don't want any email notifications to clog up my personal email account, which is on Gmail.

Man, the cheapest smartphones (that aren't Alcatel or some other obscure brand) are double that price  :\'( , and the feature phones by Microsoft have something called Symbian S30+, which doesn't run Java games. There's also only two feature phones by Microsoft that support games that are downloaded outside its app store. There's Alcatel feature phones that can still run Java games, but I worry about what Java games will look like in the future considering the popularity of Android (which despite being written in Java Android makes use of its own runtime environment and the OS is mostly on smartphones so will have different controls to feature phones) and iOS these days, and I'm not sure how long feature phones will even persist, because I can't seem to access the Feature Phones section of Alcatel's commercial website.

Before Android and iOS, platformers and isos were somewhat rare probably because in the 2000s, 3D gaming was beginning to massively evolve from previous decades to become more sophisticated looking and hence was trendy then, but the nature of feature phones meant that games were rather limited in terms of their controls. Paradoxically, however, isos such as Clash of Clans (because unlike older games, you can simply drag and drop sprites around which used to only exist with PC and some console games) and scrollers such as Subway Surfers became more popular with Android and iOS, but partly because initially, specs were a bit limited for 3D games. Now they still stick to the same stupid formula since the iPhone and Android release.

You still play with your PS2 console.

I still play mine!

I traded mine in for a PS3.

I think short hair on anyone is ugly, really.

Even men?

Even men?

Maybe. Some suit it; there's some men I can't imagine with long hair, particularly because their image and/or identity revolves around having short hair. Rap and hip hop artists come to mind, but some of them do wear their hair long.


Generally I prefer the wings haircut that was popular on guys in the 2000s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wings_(haircut), and longer: http://cache1.asset-cache.net/gc/175232497-an-emo-boy-with-red-stripes-dyed-into-his-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=GkZZ8bf5zL1ZiijUmxa7QQd5J7Nl2JC7NGNEH8iOomZTqdA4BuAGRKKtOelaogtd


I hate how in the 2010s the fact this hairstyle is no longer popular makes it seem like it's unacceptable to wear. It's also a decade that's more accepting of gender diversity, yet this trend appears to act against the interests of gender diversity (not counting Miley Cyrus and Rihanna). I wanted long hair for a while simply because I feel like I look ugly with short hair.

I don't think GH1996's cousin knows about pop culture from the 2000s, so not really.

My dad still uses a sony mavica camera that takes floppy discs...

My fashion is still mainly the early 00's style. I even wear a trucker hat sometimes. Haven't changed the way I look since 2002-2003. Although I do change into something that looks like it's from the late '00s sometimes.

It was pretty big in the 90's but when I think of the trucker hat it's more 2003 to me since that's when Ashton Kutcher and his awful fashion took over... 8-P

I haven't change my look since 1995 which you could go either way with since 1995 styles stayed current until 2003/2004.

Signs you're stuck in 2000-2003:
- Your favorite rock band is either Pop Punk or Nu Metal both of which occasionally add rap into their songs.
- Every morning before you go out, you make sure your tips are frosty enough
- That nerd down the street might have broadband, OSX or XP but like normal people you're still on dial-up and 98
- You scavenge the world for free AOL discs
- You wanna talk to cute girls on IM but you're mom keeps hogging up the phone. She has a Nokia cell phone but "the phone bill is too high to use at home when we have a perfect good landline!"
- The only pants you wear are dickies. When you choose to wear the short variety, they're usually way to big to be considered shorts but way to small to be considered pants.
- Chain wallet. Always.
- You had a girlfriend but the Nu Metal kid who talks like Fred Durst stole her.
- iPod!? The hell is that? I got a Sony Discman for all my Good Charlotte CD's
- That girl has a poster of blink-182 on her wall? Asked her out right away.
- Got rejected. Wrote a sad song about it. Hope nobody notices it's an Adam's Song rip off.
- You hate rap music so you listen to rock radio. Problem is all these damn rock bands are rapping, too. How cares about OJ Simpson, anyway, Good Charlotte!?
- The PS2 just came out. You bought it but you still play your PS1 to be loyal to the mighty Playstation
- Every time you turn on your TV a Pepsi Blue Rap Metal commercial invades your screen
- You frequently buy Pepsi Blue and Surge at the 7-11
- An "Emo kid" is just a nerdy kid who really likes Weezer. So much that he dresses like Rivers.

I think this is a good list so far.

*You buy someone a Harry Potter book.
*HDTV/5.1 sound is for the geeks, I'm fine with my 1980s-era color TV with stereo sound that still works fine after all these years (I did use a 1980 Blackstripe TV well into the '00s as did my parents with their 1989 Panasonic TV.)
*You're mad that FOX Kids is now FoxBox and hate all of this anime invading Saturday Morning TV.
*You strongly support invading Iraq to end terrorism, not knowing that the Reagan-era Star Wars Missile Defense system still works. 
*You buy a flip phone from Cingular or Nextel.
*You buy the VHS version of a movie because your old VCR still works and costs a bit less than the DVD version, hoping that the format won't die so fast that you will still be able to do so.
*You have a Mandy Moore poster of "I Wanna Be With You" on your bedroom wall.
*You watch Bedazzled and Bamboozled back-to-back.
*You start a collection of Mighty Beanz.
*(If you're European) You deposit or spend as much of your old national currency before the mandatory conversion to the Euro.

You aren't stuck in 2000-2003 if...

*you were a baby/toddler during those times
*you remember watching Nick Jr, and various preschool shows at the time
*despite the fact that you can vaguely remember dial-up, you stook up with broadband

That's pretty much what I can say for my toddler memories.

*When your friends come over and you're all like "let's play Mario Party 2!" or "let's play Sonic Adventure 2"  ;D
*When you get annoyed, you say "facepalm" out loud instead of actually doing it.
*You start typing like a 1337 h4x0r when you want to sound ironically cool.

- You upload youtube videos in 144p-240p
- You talk about how you miss vanilla World or Warcraft all the time
- Think that being extreme is still in style

- You buy a PS4 just so you can get all the PS2 games
- You still wear a trucker hat
- Your TV isn't an HDTV

-You still play runescape religiously

Oh my cousin who lives in the basement and hasn't seen the sun in months still plays it. He asked for my old account password because it was good at fishing, but he got it banned because he used it for scamming.

Same with my account from 2003, my brother asked for it and got it banned for scamming..

I still use one too, and will continue to do so. I like the pictures that are on wall calendars. :)

I still use my car's CD player and the one in my computer. They still serve a purpose. Those portable ones weren't as convenient and skipped often.

Extreme sports was more a big deal in the later nineties.

I can't eat the same snacks I ate last decade because there are no more Doritos 3D, Oompas candy, Kudos bars, Pepsi Blue and DNL. It's an outrage!

I miss playing Kingdom Hearts.

I think it's fair to say Xtreme Sports were pretty huge in 2000-2003. These were the Pro Skater days, after all. ;)

I remember monster trucks being popular in my city 1999/2000 but I didn't hear much about them after that.

I dunno about Monster Trucks (that's not even an Xtreme! sport :P) but I don't really think it was ever a big big thing. Maybe in the 80's-early 90s it kind of was but otherwise it's popularity's always seemed pretty moderate. Skateboarding/BMX'ing/X Games, on the other hand, were huge during 2000-2003. They were everywhere at the time which is what caused the whole Xtreme! trend.

Time to make X Games/BMX Biking/Skateboarding cool again. We'll get another Xtreme! trend going on.

Sounds like a plan! I bet we can even get Spider-Man in on dis. 8)

I have bad news for you. I read on another website that trucker hats are making a comeback in the US... Because of that Donald Trump hat. You ain't the original.

Agreed totally. I also have a CD player at home that currently works just fine (it is part of a stereo unit that also has a tape player and a radio).

I don't have a CD player at all. Not even on my computer  :o I guess I could play them in my parent's car, but it's not mine.

I still have the same Walkman from the 90's. Works like a charm! ;)

Have you used it lately?

Sounds like a pain :o


No way! It rules!


Have you used it lately?


Yes. I use it pretty much everyday. Recently I've been listening to my Operation Ivy Comp that I bought in the late 90's. 8)

I see what you're up to :P I tried to get back into it a few years ago for nostalgic reasons, but it was as boring as I remember it ;D

Didn't even realize i posted it twice!  :P

I tried to also, played it for a few days but lost interest
