I think the 2000s started and ended with a bang.  Though the early 2000s were not the best time of my personal life, I loved the culture of the era.  Then of course, the late '00s were the best years of my life and I look back on their culture with a lot of nostalgia.

The mid '00s were somewhat ho-hum however.  They aren't terrible but weren't great either.  There were some good things that came out of them, like the peak of PC gaming, 7th gen video games, and the first generation of social media.  However, the music and movies of the era were pretty meh, being a step down from the early 2000s before improving rapidly in the late '00s.  The fashion (for guys) was also pretty bland unless you were emo or scene.  Iraq and Katrina dominated the politics and overall the cultural zeitgeist leaned conservative.

The two bright spots of the era, in my opinion, were PC gaming and horror movies.  PC gaming peaked in 2004 and remained pretty strong through 2006.  Some of the best horror movies were also produced in the era, with franchises like Saw, The Hills Have Eyes, High Tension, House of Wax, etc.  Those movies were more plot-driven and more fun than the found footage/jump-centric horror movies of the '10s.

Other than that though, I loved the late '00s and have a special fondness for the early '00s, but could really give or take the mid '00s.  Anybody else agree?

Mid 2000s > late 2000s, imo

The mid-2000s were sort of when popular culture first started to truly decline in my opinion.  2004 was an okay year for music and an excellent one in gaming and film, but 2005-2006 produced a lot of things that I couldn't stand, such as snap music, and were less memorable in other respects as well.  Things improved by the late 2000s, once YouTube/online shows like the Angry Video Game Nerd and CollegeHumour grew popular, but it still wasn't anywhere near the glory days of 1982-2002.

When it comes to the 2000s I like the years 2000-2006. Pop culturally '00s were okay to me. It wasn't my favorite time for pop cultural, but it was a decent time overall as I don't find myself hating the time period. In terms of personal life I loved the mid '00s. When looking back I've noticed that I was pretty happy for most of the time period.

The early '00s (2000-2003) I find those years to be some of the best years I've experienced. The mid '00s (2004-2006) to me was also a pretty decent time. I prefer the early '00s over the mid '00s, but I wouldn't mind going back to see 2004-2006 again. The late '00s (2007-2009) were a bit rocky for me, but it wasn't too bad either. The late '00s was when I started using the internet a bit more. Having fun on sites such as youtube and stuff. Overall the more the more I think about the 2000s the more I realize that I enjoyed those years and had a good time.

Whatever the case, all parts of the 2000s are still superior to the mid-2010s, which I hate.  It's probably most due to the mid-2010s that I came to this website in the first place.

I liked the mid 2000s, still being a kid. 2005 is probably my favorite year of the decade.... personally in my life. :)  But culturally speaking... yeah the mid 2000s was the least interesting time for the decade NO QUESTION ABOUT IT! But it was an awkward transitional period. :(

Yeah the mid 2010s started off good in the first half of 2014, but that second half doe WEAK! 2015 was the worst year in my life since 2011... and that's saying something!

My personal life in the mid '00s and mid '10s are very, very similar.  Stuck in this small backwater town, waiting for my fortunes to change so I can get out and live my life.  It's like deja-vu except I am ten years older and no longer in college.  That probably contributes to why I don't like either period.  Plus, both the '00s and '10s started very exciting culturally but became pretty bland during the mid part of the decade.

YES!!!!!! 2000s and 2010s are kinda like the 60s and 70s for us millennials. Even though I feel the 2000s overall were culturally more like the 90s than the 2010s, I apologize if I decadeologized! ;D

I think the comparison can be made between the 2010s and the 1970s.  Both decades were plagued by political polarization, economic stagnation the entire decade, and an overall feeling of pessimism in society.

You're not alone. It was very bland to me too. Especially the video games, I was reduced to MMOs and I really hate that genre  8-P the movies were B-list (iRobot, World After Tomorrow, Alien vs. Predator etc.), there were many natural and human disasters occuring throughout the world (Asian Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, Pakistan/India earthquake, Iraq War, Afghanistan War, London bombings, Paris riots, Israel-Lebanon war etc.) Only thing I liked was the non-pop music. The male fashion was a low point in modern history, even the disco people looked classy.


Personal life sad stuff:
Awful personal life wise too. Moved out of my childhood neighbourhood in mid-2004 and was lonely throughout the mid-2000s. Then my twin sisters were born August 2005 and while one was healthy, the other had life-threatening disabilities, so all of late 2005/2006 was hospital visits, crying, and also taking care of my other sister while my parents were at the hospital. Also came out as gay to one of my close friends who I thought could keep a secret, rumours spread like wildfire and bullying at school started. Extremely rough era for me.

The male fashion was a low point in modern history, even the disco people looked classy.

In the mid '00s, unless you were emo or scene, male fashion was pretty much non-fashion.  Guys in that era tried very hard to not appear gay and having any sense of fashion at all was a nono.  Most guys I knew simply wore their worn-out A&F and American Eagle logo t's left over from the early 2000s...or sports t-shirts.  That was the era where guys had to say "no homo" simply for giving another guy a pat on the back.  It's amazing how much has changed since then in that arena.  Guys also wouldn't be caught dead ordering a craft beer, as that was considered gay.  Wine was an absolute no no.  Real men drank Budweiser or Bud Light.  As much as I don't care for the mid '10s, at least that has changed.

Exactly my experiences as well. I remember the "wangsta"/"wigga" trend as well. White guys wearing bling and sideway caps with huge baggy pants and pretending to be all gangster with their PSPs like they were the next Eminem.  8-P

In the UK you had "chavs" as well. You can look that up, it was atrocious.

In terms of fashion for the years 2004-2005 I just dressed the same way that I have in 2002-2003. Only thing that changed was I wasn't wearing a baseball cap as much. Although in Florida a lot of people still wore baseball caps to shield their eyes from the sun.

Mid 2000s > late 2000s, imo


Wow, somebody actually agrees with me on the mid 2000s. Honestly, I find it better than the mid 2000s, because it was when I was really innocent. Like, I watched so many f*cking shows on TV, it was when a lot of children's channels were in its golden ages. Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Discovery Kids, PBS Kids, Disney Channel, Toon Disney, ABC Family, you name it. It was also when I played a lot of awesome computer games from Shockwave, Wildtangent, Hipsoft, and Big Fish Games. Those were the days when I was 4 and a half to 6, and I would be entertained with anything from my computer, TV, or DVD collection every day. Good times.

But the late 2000s were also great too. It was when YouTube was at it's best, and I was finding more logos (since I was really into them back then) on the site every day. However, I grown out of PBS and Discovery Kids, while I was still happy watching TV. It still had a variety, while people could argue that Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon was still good back in the late '00s. At least it's better than sh*ttacular cartoons plaguing  the networks for a damn while now. The fanbases aren't even making me feel better, since they're a bunch of sickos.

I don't think the 2010s are similar towards the 2000s, except for the early 2010s.

2009 could be seen as the year that started the culture for the 2010s. 2016 to me is starting to look quite different from 2009 to me. And I can imagine that 2009 would be seen as a "distant" year in terms of culture by the time we reach 2019.

I personally wore the same thing in the mid '00s as I did the early '00s.  Usually it was an AE or A&F t-shirt with khaki cargo pants.  Kept this style until 2007 when I tried to go scene for a bit.

2009 just felt like a transitional year, like everybody says. But I do agree that 2016 is a bit distant from 2009 now.

I remember when I tried to go for the scene look. I tried it for a month. Then I just gave up on it.

I used to. I see how less advance the era was.

In the mid-2000s I had a laptop. Even if it only had 15GB of hard drive space, pitiful RAM and probably 30 minutes battery life, the fact that it exists makes it seem super-advanced.

Dude, that sucked. It seems like you needed to charge your laptop every 30 minutes, which seems like all the time for me if I have my laptop.

While I do think the early 00s were much better, I don't mind the mid 00s as a whole. Video games and T.V. shows were still awesome in 2004-early 2007. Video games pretty much declined with the 7th generation of consoles. And while there are still some good T.V. shows now, they feel the same to me. Every show is trying to be "serialized", and there aren't any good sitcoms at the moment.

Technology was at a great balance. There wasn't a bunch of useless garbage like there is in the mid 2010s. And life was more interesting, because it was before streaming and digital media took over, and made life boring. Now bear in mind, I am not against streaming and digital media. I use both, but I also support physical media. I just wish there was some sort of balance. I hate the fact that music and movie stores are closing because people take "convenience" over every other factor. Even though, if people were to really analyse it, making everything digital has far more disadvantages than advantages. I don't mind digital as an option, but I cannot accept it as the "be all end all" when it comes to formats.

Also social media didn't overtake everyone's time. Sure there was Myspace, but it didn't overtake most people's time like the social media of the early-mid 2010s does. Now you have a bunch of useless sites like Tumblr, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. Facebook is okay because it allows you to contact friends and relatives that are far away, and it has purposes when it comes to promoting businesses. But even Facebook is being overused. Seriously, people do not need to be on their phones on these sites, 24/7. It really pisses me off.

As for mainstream music and fashion, yes I can agree that it really wasn't good. Now I know this is going to sound controversial on this site, but I would take mid 00s music and fashion over anything made between the late 00s-mid 2010s. I'm sorry, but I think the late 2000s are overrated. And, I'll probably sound like a broken record, but I cannot stand early-mid 2010s music/fashion/T.V./technology/society. I know I sound like a total grouch, but I would take the mid 00s over 2008-2016.

But who knows, the future's unpredictable. Perhaps something will happen to change the current direction of things. Perhaps things will balance out in the future. And we can work to make real advances, as opposed to all this trendy garbage going on at the moment.

Anyway, sorry if I sound bitter, I just need to get this off my chest.

Same with me. Quite frankly, if an era does not have appealing fashion, I will not wear it. I don't care about looking fashionable, as long as I like what I wear.

I barely took it outside, it was heavy!  ;D

Nice for vacations and school work though.

Mid-2000s is also when I saw a lot of people addicted to their phones, which still gives it a rather modern vibe.

I think a lot of us are bitter about the present, I know I sure am.  Everything you just wrote completely resonates with me.  Back in the 90s and Y2K era, technology seemed to emphasize innovation and creativity, with a lot of optimistic imagination coming into the new millennium.  Nowadays, technology is nothing but a constraint, a shallow experience that you're forced to adapt to just to keep up with present day culture.  I could live with technology invented only up to 2004 or frankly even 1999 and not feel any ounce of unpleasant inconvenience.  Frankly, I miss the days when I could go to a store to buy a new CD or movie or rent a new video game.  Life felt a lot more dynamic when there were still exciting things to do outside of your house or personal device.

I think this is the personal anthem for anybody in your boat:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et9b7LWfnxQ

I can't believe that song came out only in 1996, which to me was one of the best years for balancing technology with activity.  If only they knew what was on the horizon for the next two decades...

I barely took it outside, it was heavy!  ;D


So, it was a heavy laptop and it was only 15GB? Damn, that seems terrible. That's like having my iPhone 5S, since it's 8GB.

Mid-2000s is also when I saw a lot of people addicted to their phones, which still gives it a rather modern vibe.

Really? I don't see how flip-phones can make people addictive compared to smartphones. Aside from texting and calling, but that's it.

Same with me. Quite frankly, if an era does not have appealing fashion, I will not wear it. I don't care about looking fashionable, as long as I like what I wear.


You didn't hit your growth spurt in the mid-2000s?

In the mid-2000s I tried to go for a "summer"-y look, even if it was winter. I don't know how else to describe it. Shirts with palm trees on them, polo shirts with really wide collars, v-necks with white or coloured undershirts underneath etc. and of course baggy jeans with bootcuts for winter and cargo shorts or jorts for summer.

I hate the real 2000's as a whole. What a horrible decade full of pretentious, boring, melodramatic psuedo-intellictual bullsh!t! 2000, 2001 and 2002, on the other hand, just outshine the entire decade by being so good. I think 1998-2002 was an amazing time. The music, the movies, the TV even the crap like Nu Metal and Teen Pop was better than anything from the rest of the 2000's. 2003 was alright but it's when the change began and we started to leave the Y2K era. :( And Pop Punk, my favorite music, died in 2003/2004. It's not even real Punk Punk after that. The 2000's were off to such an amazing start but then they just went down into the dumps! >:( >:( >:(

But it existed! That's amazing enough  ;D Although I remember not being all that amazed with it. It was terribly slow.

I didn't even know they released iPhones with such low space anymore. Are you sure it isn't 16GB but with 8GB free space?

Yeah, people used to text a lot back then. There was bragging rights associated with texting 24/7 at my school. "You only got 600 messages yesterday? You have no life! I got like 3000!" // "Yeah but they're all from your boyfriends he's the only person who texts you, I had 30 people text me just yesterday!"  ::) No joke, my cousin attempted suicide after my aunt took her phone away, she was failing school and on the phone until 4AM everyday.

Yeah, iPhones can still be with 8GB, which sucks because I can't download that much apps with it. I hope I could get an upgrade and have an iPhone 6 or something like that.

Can't you set it up to automatically upload your pictures? Or do you just not take many pictures?

Oh, another futuristic aspect of the mid-2000s is you could connect your computer to your phone/camera with Bluetooth. If you took a picture it would go instantly onto your computer.

Damn I knew I should have commented on this thread hours ago!

After so much thought about everything, here's my opinion from my own perspective and experiences, sorry if I disappoint anyone.

Mainstream Culture: late 2000's > early 2000's >>> mid 2000's

Kid Culture: early 2000's >>> mid 2000's >>>>> late 2000's

2006 was great for my personal life which I've explained on here before, especially that summer, it started with me upgrading to a Nintendo DS and Mario Kart DS when I started playing online gaming for the first time. I went to YMCA camp for 2 weeks. I went to the Georgia Aquarium for the first time which had just opened in Fall 2005. I went to Savannah, GA for the first time which was a really cool town. I went on our family surprise trip which was Disney World and I went to all of the parks and stayed for a whole week. Then I went to my first ever family reunion on my grandma's side and met a lot of new cousins from up north. Summer 2006 was a record breaker for me. Another than that, the pop culture in 2006 wasn't that good at all. However, the pop culture from 2004 & 2005 were pretty awesome though, especially the video games, movies, and a lot of good stuff to find on TV.

Yeah the mid 2010s started off good in the first half of 2014, but that second half doe WEAK! 2015 was the worst year in my life since 2011... and that's saying something!


It's weird how our senior year from late 2013-early 2014 was still pretty good pop culturally, but all of the sudden we start college in the 2nd half of 2014 what happened? Granted, I love being in college and having more freedom but it could either be the greatest time of your life or your worst nightmare if you're not disciplined. I think we all know all the political, crimes, protests, and shootings that started happening throughout the 2nd half of 2014 and 2015 as well, which did not help at all. 2016 has been doing better for me so far. 2011 was pretty good for me, my 2nd semester of freshman year was lackluster but after that things got better quickly, that summer of 2011 was the best for my personal life since 2006 since I went to New York for the first time and visited my cousins in Ohio. I wouldn't say 2015 was the worst year for me, but my junior year of high school (especially Spring 2013) still remains as the worst stretch of the decade for me.

I think we all know all the political, crimes, protests, and shootings that started happening throughout the 2nd half of 2014 and 2015 as well, which did not help at all. 2016 has been doing better for me so far. 2011 was pretty good for me, my 2nd semester of freshman year was lackluster but after that things got better quickly, that summer of 2011 was the best for my personal life since 2006 since I went to New York for the first time and visited my cousins in Ohio. I wouldn't say 2015 was the worst year for me, but my junior year of high school (especially Spring 2013) still remains as the worst stretch of the decade for me.

Hahaha!!!! ;D ;D ;D  Ironically 2013 was my favorite year of my personal life of the decade. 2010 and 2012 were my favorite years pop culturally.  and 2011 was the worst year of my life, this decade besides 2011!

You all know what the most ironic thing is, 2005 was my favorite year growing up besides 2001, 2003, and 2008. and 2015 was my least favorite year besides 2011. Man have things changed! :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(

I hated Spring 2013 semester and Summer 2013 wasn't good as well. Fall 2013 is when things got so much better, since my senior year had began, and the music that came out throughout my senior year was a huge improvement from those awful songs throughout my junior year. Not to mention an easier more relaxed schedule and prom. Junior year I had a huge workload and difficult academic schedule and most of my classes and lunches sucked. Senior year I got to sit in the senior cafe and I got to sit with the same people the whole year, it was the best group of people I sat with at lunch since my freshman year. 

Edit: Oh, and most of 2012 was great pop culturally for me too. Especially my 2nd semester of sophomore year and that summer. A lot of great movies came out throughout 2012 as well and I went with many of my friends to see those. My Georgia Bulldogs and Atlanta Falcons had epic football seasons that year as well. Whenever I think of 2010, I think of that crazy, epic 1st semester of freshman year and the heavenly music that was being played all day!

For me the mid 2000's were a good little era for pop culture compared to now, but I still had a great time in the late 2000's and early 2010's, even though the music sucked.

I think the kid culture was better than the adult stuff. I still would rather watch Teen Titans than listen to crap like Ciara, Cassie, Nickelback, or My Chemical Romance. If I was born a decade earlier, I think I would have been pretty miserable. I'm incredibly glad I wasn't a teenager in the aughts. The mainstream culture doesn't look fun at all. I'm glad a was a kid in the aughts and a teen/young adult in the 2010's. I would have loved to have been a teen in the '90s though.

Agree with this.  People who look back most fondly on the mid '00s seem to be people who were kids at the time.  The '00s was an excellent time to be a kid.  For teens/young adults, the early '00s was great as was the late '00s, but the middle part of the decade was kind of a low point.  I was mostly into techno/trance in the mid '00s since I didn't really care for the popular music of the time.  Some of it was alright, but most of it I could take or leave.  Not too different from the mid '10s as a matter of fact.  Around late 2006 going into 2007, things started to improve significantly.

Wow, so looks like my opinion on the mainstream and kid cultures were pretty accurate based off some of y'all takes so far. As difficult as my personal life was throughout late 2000's (especially 2008), it was a really great time to be a preteen/teen or older into the mainstream culture. Early Youtube, Obamamania, first half of 7th generation gaming being really good, the end of core 2000's music in 2007 being really good to the beginning of the electropop era, movies like Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, 300, Avatar, Transformers, The Dark Knight, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, American Gangster, The Blind Side, Twilight, etc. were awesome. My Summer 2009 was epic too. A lot of times in the past I kept focusing on the negative of the late 2000's due to the recession, the kid culture being atrocious by then, or my personal life getting really bad with all that peer pressure in middle school, but looking back it wasn't a bad time at all. Sure there were bittersweet moments like Billy Mays or Michael Jackson's deaths, but the rest of the mainstream culture was colorful. I thought the Super Bowl commercials throughout the late 2000's were the best as well. I see that you believe that the mainstream culture of the early 00's and late 00's were equally good, well the only reason I ranked the late 00's over the early 00's was because I only focused on kid culture in the early 00's while I only know the mainstream culture from the late 00's-present.

Although, It would have been PERFECT if I had been born a few years earlier like 92, that would have been DOPE! My prime kid years would have been in the late 90s and early 00s EQUALLY. Then a prime teen in the late 2000s and Very Early 2010s, Instead of the entire early 2010s being my prime teen years.

If I had to pick a year to be born to experience the mainstream culture, I'd pick 1976, so I'd be a kid throughout the 80's and spend my entire teen & young adult years throughout the 90's. That would have been awesome especially with how the Atlanta Braves did in the 90's and the Summer Olympics being in Atlanta in 1996.

Another year I'd pick is 1993 (which isn't that different than 1992 based off your points), and I remember how cool it was as a freshman in high school looking up to the seniors at the time. 2011 was the coolest group of seniors ever especially being the leaders of our cross country team. The last day Class of 2011 were in the school I remember a lot of underclassmen crying like they wanted them back so bad lol! My sophomore year the seniors (2012) were a lot wackier & crazier, but not as exciting as before, and of course my junior year I didn't care since the seniors (2013) by then had been with me for 3 years and they were so close to my age they didn't feel like leaders to me.

Nah, bro them 80s cartoons doe! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  Some of the chessiest bullsheesh ever! ;D  Saw reruns of them on Cartoon Network, NO THANKS!
But, growing up in the 80s would have been INSANE! :D  Seeing all the 80s movies live in person, and listening to all the great music LIVE would've been cool, but I'm happy with how I grew up! ;)

2012 class did not feel like Leaders AT ALL! Most of them were a joke! I'm glad they left! But the 2011 class, some were cool to kinda look too. Specifically the 92 born in the class, not the 93 born.

I'll say this though, I'm glad I was not born in the late 90s, I would've been a true 00s kid, that would a kind of sucked for me! Culturally and personal life! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

That's the minority, the 80's was the last full decade cartoons were only available on Saturday mornings, there was so much more, but I agree with you. Shows like Smurfs were boring as hell even though I thought it was alright when I was that young in the early 00's obviously. Is there any other reruns of 80's cartoons you remember being on CN in the early 00's? I need a refresher. Anyways, I wouldn't mind being born in 1976 or any late 70's/very early 80's year, mainly so I could experience the mainstream culture from the 90's. Also, it be so cool witnessing the early parts of the video game industry starting with 2nd or 3rd generation gaming, and having the excitement and upgrades that happened throughout 4th & 5th generations. Like the transition from 2-D (16 bit) to 3-D (CGI gaming). Also, having to rely on riding a bike in the 80's and still having to play with mostly toys like the Rubix cube instead of having the availability of 24 hour kid channels or playing games on the internet. I think the late Gen X group had it decent.

I remember seeing Gi Joe, He Man. Smurfs, Thundercats, Transformers reruns, also Spider-man and his Amazing Friends which was REALLY good! Many of them were very chessy just like the 70s cartoons. The 70s and 80s were kind of the dark age of animated shows and even movies, until the VERY late 80s. I would loved seeing Dukes of Hazard, CHIPS, A Team, Taxi, Dallas, Love Boat, Hill Street Blues LIVE.  but the second half of the 80s had those chessy sitcoms. Cosby Shows and Cheers were the true classics of the era. And knowing me, I also would've like the mainstream pop culture BOTH of the 80s and 90s live.

I'll say this though, I'm glad I was not born in the late 90s, I would've been a true 00s kid, that would a kind of sucked for me! Culturally and personal life! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


I consider myself as a true 00's kid and there's nothing wrong with that. I don't think late 90's babies had it completely bad. I'm closer to late 90's babies than early 90's babies and I still relate to them in many ways. I have many friends born in 1997 and 1998 including cousins, in fact, when it comes to my cousins on my mom's side of the family, it's funny how the oldest was born in 1994 but graduated in the 2011 class because she skipped 1st grade, while the youngest was born in 1999 and she's currently a junior right now. Which relates to my life completely, since I turned 20 today and the majority of my friends I've made have always been between 3 1/2 years older or 3 1/2 years younger.

Well, the reason I don't consider myself a true 00s kid because I was in my teens during the final years of the decade. If I were a true 00s kid, I would';t have had ANY teen years during the decade.

I remember seeing Gi Joe, He Man. Smurfs, Thundercats, Transformers reruns, also Spider-man and his Amazing Friends.


I've seen Transformers Armada and Cybertron on Toonami, but I honestly don't remember the 80's one though. Wow, I had no idea all those 80's action cartoons reran on CN back then, except for Smurfs (which isn't action) and that's it. Although, I do remember Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends rerunning on Jetix back in 2004 or 2005.

I agree if I were to change my birth year I'd probably be born in the mid 70's as well. Growing up as a kid in the 80's would've been pretty cool and being a teen/young adult in the 90's would've been Narley 8) Reminds me of the show Beavis & Butthead, the stoner slackers that just did anything they wanted because they were bored ;D

Also I always thought of 76' as core X, albeit probably the last year of it (or maybe 77'). Besides they were 18 in 1994 when Kurt Cobain died, when Reality Bites was the hit movie for young adults, and when FRIENDS Premiered, thats pretty damn Gen X if you ask me!

I agree! Growing up in the early 2000's and the mid 2000's were great!

I forgot about the golden age of MTV and FOX in the 80's and 90's as well! I remember my parents talking about how great MTV was throughout the 80's and early/mid 90's. You know how today we always see music videos on VEVO on Youtube, well back then they were getting excited for the premiere of a music video on MTV which would end up being hits, along with the MTV cartoons at the time.

Oh yeah your right, those were as Gen X as you could get!

This really begs the question, what do you think us Late Millennials would be nostalgic about our youth? YouTube's Golden Age in the 2000's/early 10's, The CW, Twilight, & the guilty pleasure of MTV Reality shows like Super Sweet 16, 16 & Pregnate, and Jersey Shore!?

I feel prideful and equally ashamed of the stuff that was popular when we were teens ;D

late 00's/early 10's electropop music, trap rap music, and mid 10's disco revival and modern teen pop music.

CW for shows like The Flash, Arrow, Vampire Diaries, and The Originals.

MTV shows like Jersey Shore, Sweet 16, and Teen Wolf.

Also The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Brooklyn Nine Nine, and Empire too.

I guess our culture aint that bad, It would be interesting how guys would react to this stuff 20 years from now! Like how we foam in the mouth about how good Gen X had it when they were teens/young adults in the 80's & 90's, I wonder how the next generation would react to Millennial culture of the 2000's & 2010's ???

Any year or decade is good when you are blessed with God's Gracious Gift of being alive.

In the mid-2000s I had a laptop. Even if it only had 15GB of hard drive space, pitiful RAM and probably 30 minutes battery life, the fact that it exists makes it seem super-advanced.


and now in 2016 you can have so much battery life.

Jonas Brothers feels more like preteen culture to me.

HOWEVER!! This brings out the urgent question! When was your cousin born?

1994, pretty much the same age as me.

1994, pretty much the same age as me.


Not surprised, I'm aware of many girls barely older or younger than me who were nostalgic for Jonas Brothers or High School Musical as well, but........

Well, the reason I don't consider myself a true 00s kid because I was in my teens during the final years of the decade. If I were a true 00s kid, I would';t have had ANY teen years during the decade.


Wouldn't late 90s babies be true '00s kids then, according to you?

The thing is he is a straight dude ;D

I'll listen to that video once I get out of the library :o


Are straight dudes not allowed to like the Jonas Brothers? ???

I thought they were supposed to be a "hawrd roxx" band for 12 year old boys!

Well mqg96 thought he was a chick  ;D

I think they're supposed to be a regular boyband a la One Direction, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys etc.

Oh... So the Jonas Brothers aren't meant for 12 year old boys who like "hawrd roxx" but are too young for Nickelback, instead, they're meant for 12 year old girls who like "soff senzitive musik"? Do people even listen to them anymore?

I'm honestly not sure. My other cousin (his sister) born 1990 is also obsessed with them, I think they stopped making music after 2009ish, that's the last I heard from them. It was some song where they were all singing together on a boat. My cousins speak of them like they are history so I'm guessing they haven't made anything in a while.

Singing together on a boat? Oh, they're the ones who did that "I'm On a Boat" song! Yeah, I remember that one. ;) That seems a little bit old to be into the Jonas Brothers. Shouldn't they be nostalgic for the days of NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys?

The suck never ends.

I thought One Direction got back together?
From Wiki:

"On 13 January 2016, Us Weekly published a report claiming that the group's hiatus would become a permanent split, with a "source" citing that each of the four remaining group members did not renew their contracts following the completion of the On the Road Again Tour in October 2015. Representatives for the group denied said-report in a statement to Billboard, stating, "nothing has changed regarding hiatus plans for the group, and all will be revealed in due time from the band members' own mouths.""

Well we were talking about teen nostalgia  ;D

The 1990 cousin is nostalgic for Sum 41, unfortunately for you it's their song "Pieces"  ;D The ladies dig that song.

Wouldn't late 90s babies be true '00s kids then, according to you?


Wouldn't a true '00s kid be from 1997? Between 2000-2009 they were 3-12 which means they were in their childhood for the entire '00s.

Yeah that's how I always saw it, I have friends born in 97' and they most definitely remember the early 00's just like I do along with the mid 00's, but they were also kids in the late 00's for its entirety as well! So yeah 1997 is the epitome of 2000's kids because they could relate well will early/older 00's kids born from 1992-1995/6 and late/younger ones born from 1998-2001/2

I can tell you all about teen nostalgia! Except my teen nostalgia is 1995-2003. :P

Oh....  8-P 8-P

Even Dave doesn't like Pieces! That album was a huge disappointment when it came out (like every other Pop Punk album of 2004) and Sum 41 started wearing their hair over their faces and crap. >:( Man, that album's weird because it's 2004 but half of it sounds like a Nu Metal album and the other half is standard mid 00's Alt. Metal crap. No thanks. I'll stick with All Killer and Infected. The real Sum 41!

I'm just glad I grew up with these as a child....

Aw c'mon man their Mario games were awesome, better than the Gamecube ones, like Super Mario Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl was epic as well. We've had this discussion before and I agree with the change in direction Nintendo took with the demographic A.K.A. true gamers to casual gamers, but overall the N64 and Gamecube were better variety wise.

Yeah, that one isn't as good as the might fatty.

1994, pretty much the same age as me.

Yeah 1993ers, 1994ers, and 1996ers all pretty much grew up with the same stuff I grew up with.

Eric, you post a billion things and more than half I don't even understand what they're supposed to be! :o :o I think I am losing touch with the youth! :(

Wouldn't late 90s babies be true '00s kids then, according to you?

Yep, they are the cream of the crop!

Yeah 1993ers, 1994ers, and 1996ers all pretty much grew up with the same stuff I grew up with.


But you were a kid for Jonas Brothers. You didn't experience Jonas Brothers as teens like us 90/91/92/93/94ers, we had the golden age  8) 8) 8)  8-P

Yep, they are the cream of the crop!


What about 1999 babies?

Okay then.

These were my favorite rock bands growing up!!


The only bands I like on there are (pre-2004) Green Day, (pre-2004) My Chemical Romance, (pre-2004) the Used, (pre-2006) RHCP, Queen and (pre-2009) Offspring and the only old logo that represents the old era is the Offspring's logo.

Yes, I know. Jordan, the Downer. :P

Well, the reason I don't consider myself a true 00s kid because I was in my teens during the final years of the decade. If I were a true 00s kid, I would';t have had ANY teen years during the decade.


Ditto, I don't like the 2000s kid label either since I had a job and was driving a car in 2009.  ::) Maybe I'd feel differently if it had a nice ring to it like "90s kid"  ;D

But aren't you a late 90s/early 00s kid, since you were like 4-6 during the late 90s, while being 7-10 during the early '00s?

Eric, you post a billion things and more than half I don't even understand what they're supposed to be! :o :o I think I am losing touch with the youth! :(

Yeah that was kinda overkil!!! ;D ;D ;D

But aren't you a late 90s/early 00s kid, since you were like 4-6 during the late 90s, while being 7-10 during the early '00s?

He's mainly early 00s with a mix of late 90s.

That's true, but I think most people consider 1993 to be 2000s kid. If only my mom had given birth to me 5 weeks earlier.  >:(

They do? Wouldn't you have stopped being a kid in either 2004 or 2005? That's barely even the real 2000's!

Nope, even late 1992 are still in the same cohort of most 1993 born's as well. It's about the age you are for most of the year, not your numerical birthdate. Nobody's gonna sit here and try to claim that a December 1991 born is more related to a January 1991 born than a January 1992 born lol.

Like I said, He's mainly an early 00s kid with a mix of late 90s.


Yeah, that sounds about right. He's got both 1998-1999 and 2000-2002.

They do? Wouldn't you have stopped being a kid in either 2004 or 2005? That's barely even the real 2000's!


If you were born 6 months later you would've been a 90s kid  :D

Nope, even late 1992 are still in the same cohort of most 1993 born's as well. It's about the age you are for most of the year, not your numerical birthdate. Nobody's gonna sit here and try to claim that a December 1991 born is more related to a January 1991 born than a January 1992 born lol.


I honestly have no problem with being related towards early 2000 babies. At least I'm a 2000s kid, that's all I can say.

I honestly stopped caring a while ago. I just wanted to post Tweets about amazing N64 games, not increase the size of my ePenis like others  ;D

If I was born in Feb. 1983 I'd be a 90's kid? You sure? Anyway, that would of sucked. "90's kids" were teens/adults during the crappy real 00's. I was a teen during the mighty mid 90's and Y2K era. 1995-2003 was a rad time to be a teen/young adult!

I honestly have no idea what's even going on anymore. ಠ_ಠ

Jordan's saying he doesn't want to be a teen during the core 2000s.

Well, 2001 suggested that it'd be great if I was born 6 months later so I could be a... ahem... "90's Kid" but I think he really just wants to share the suffering of the real 2000's. Sorry I got to experience the mid 90's and Y2K era and you got the real (2004-2009) 2000's (8-P) but there is nothing I can do about that. :P It's the luck of the draw.


Jordan's saying he doesn't want to be a teen during the core 2000s.


Exactly. I wouldn't mind being my sister's age 'cause she was in high school from 1999-2003 but that's such a short time span. I'm glad I got to experience the freedom of teenhood throughout the mighty 1995-1999 and young adulthood throughout the glorious 2000-2002.

Lol I agree  ;D Being a mid/late 2000s teen was atrocious.  You got out just in time.

Wonder what's it look to be a 2010s teen. Most of us either weren't teens in the 2010s. Or stopped being a teenager high schooler before the core 10s even started.

As a core 2010s teen, it honestly sucks. It makes the 2000s look better in comparison. I would've been really happy during the 2000s as a teen, with awesome shows on TV, along with being able to get a Myspace, Newgrounds, Digg, Reddit, and YouTube account all in one. Sure, there would be the late '00s recession and anybody older than 4 remembering 9/11 with the life-changing horror, but at least I would be able to witness the golden age of the Internet as a teen.

Being a teen/young adult in the late 90's/early 00's was rad. The fun ended in 2003/2004. >:(

I'm just glad I grew up with these as a child....

As an adolescent of that time I'm glad I was able to avoid most of that stuff. As for Chowder and Flapjack, those shows were not that bad. I watched them from beginning to end and they were actually decent. It's a shame that those cartoons only lasted for 2/3 years.

Now here's some late 90s things

You know when I think about it, I wish I had got into the WWE growing up, but I was never a wrestling fan. I grew up as a football fan college & NFL and I'm proud to enjoy it today onto the next seasons. When I watched the WWE a couple of times as a kid I just laughed my ass off at the fights and dazed off quickly.

I main time watching Jetix was from 2004-2006 until we took away Toon Disney/Jetix from our digital cable provider for a while. You know how much I enjoyed Kids WB. Again, never cared about FOX Kids, FOX BOX, or 4Kids TV.

But with that along with the core 2000s, it was really better than the 2010s.


TBH I find the mainstream movies from the 2010's (since 2012) to be superior to a lot of ones from the mid 2000's, but when comparing it to the late 2000's I'd say equally good.

But with that along with the core 2000s, it was really better than the 2010s.


As someone who was a teen in the core 2000s and a teen in the (not-quite-core) 2010s, I'd have to say I strongly preferred the 2010s portion. But who knows, maybe the 2000s jive better with who you are.

Experiencing the anticipation and launch of the 7th Gen consoles was pretty cool though. The hype for the PS3 and Wii was insane. The hype for 8th Gen consoles was rather muted.

A lot of the stuff Eazy-Man listed seemed to come out when he was 12. I know that's when people start outgrowing things, but most technically consider 12 to still be "childhood" (Nickelodeon lists their target demographic, for example, as ages 6-12).

Close, the main target demographic for kid channels are ages 6-11.

Yeah, a little bit better. Both the real 2000's to today look awful compared to the mighty 2000-2002, though. How do those years outshine the rest of the 20XX years? I am not sure but they ruled.

Since were on the topic of mid 00s, I watched reruns of these shows during the mid 00s.

Yeah, to be fair I wasn't a teen in 2004/2005, just 2006. But being a preteen then was bad enough, I'm not sure being a teen would be any more fun. The video games were pretty bad, and the radio was very difficult to listen to. The TV shows were OK, the late 2000s were better in that regard though.

I liked the last half of 2009, that part of the year was really fun.

I think the dudes in the first picture dress a lot better! That is rad Y2K era fashion! See Steve-o? He is making a serious mean face which means they're tough and not to be messed with like most of us in the early 2000's. Real Pop Punk. On the other hand, the second picture, they look like douchebags! V-Necks and hot dogs? No thank you! 8-P

See? These guys are tough. They got hammers and will smash your's and the unsuspecting neighbors houses because they're rebellious. I bet they got, like, 50 different skateboards, dude!

Actually, the DS was really great in 2005. But I had a DS and people made fun of me for not owning a PSP, because that's what all the "mature" kids were buying ::) Only kiddie children had a DS. This is why being a mid-2000s teen is incredibly lame.

Didn't you say the nu-metal guys were stealing all the pop-punk guys' girlfriends? :P That mean-face isn't scaring anybody.

Slutty v-necks are awesome, I've had girls hit on me when I wear them. Especially if you put a tub of moisturizer on your chest/neck and make it look all shiny. It makes the girls' knees week ;D Those 2009 guys can easily steal those 2001 guys' girlfriends.

The Dangers of Nu-Metal
A love song by My Dad Joe...

Lost my girlfriend to a Nu Metal guy
Why she did it and I don't know why
I ring up her every night, she turns me away
I keep missing her everyday

Tell me it's allrriiiigggghhhhht (tell me it's alright)
Tell me it's allrriiiigggghhhhht (tell me it's alright)
Tell me it's allrriiiigggghhhhht (tell me it's alright)
'Cause I love you every minute of the day, of the night
All the tiiiimmmmmeeeeee
And I just can't take it RIGHT NOOOOWWWW!
Anyyyymoooreee

The early 2000's in a nutshell! I hope you aren't saying Sum 41 is Nu Metal there. They most definitely weren't in 2000-2002! They were good Pop Punk with some rad Metally influences.

Even in early 2003 Sum 41 was still tough looking:
http://cache1.asset-cache.net/gc/85341261-photo-of-dave-baksh-and-sum-41-and-cone-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=GkZZ8bf5zL1ZiijUmxa7QYOTONQ8T5O7CECSy15sTY7mlEcz%2bFgyqkwnv8SIxyz2qyVHzK%2blOMN%2fahI%2fBCtA6A%3d%3d

This oughta scare off those Fred Durst wannabes! See how they point at the camera? That's too intimidate the Nu Metallers.

No way! In 2001, all the girls were tomboys who liked the sk8r boys! If you came up with some V-Neck shirt with lots of vicks (you got a cold or something?) they'd say "gross!" and probably hit you with a skateboard or something. Another reason 2000-2002 is better than the rest of the 2000's. Tomboys or real skaters/Pop Punk bands didn't exist in the mid-late 00's! >:(

2004 was good. 2005 though.... 8-P

I bet teenagers in high school back in the early 2000's criticized people for buying the Gameboy Advance or Gamecube too, in fact, I've heard this many times on other forums I've been on. So you say 2005 was a bad year for gaming? Not the best compared to 2001-2004, but it was still pretty good.

There were still some really good games that came out in the mid 00's like Ultimate Spider-Man, Star Wars Battlefront II and Destroy All Humans 2. I think that is the only thing I enjoyed about the 2004-2006 period. The games. Well, that and a small amount of Television and movies (but that's besides the point). The PSP is the worst, though. I don't know why anyone would buy it since it has no good games.

This oughta scare off those Fred Durst wannabes! See how they point at the camera? That's too intimidate the Nu Metallers.

No way! In 2001, all the girls were tomboys who liked the sk8r boys! If you came up with some V-Neck shirt with lots of vicks (you got a cold or something?) they'd say "gross!" and probably hit you with a skateboard or something. Another reason 2000-2002 is better than the rest of the 2000's. Tomboys or real skaters/Pop Punk bands didn't exist in the mid-late 00's! >:(


Hmm, Deryck scored with Avril so I can't say you're wrong >_< But then again she also married the dude from Nickleback, so maybe she just has bad taste lol.

I bet teenagers in high school back in the early 2000's criticized people for buying the Gameboy Advance or Gamecube too, in fact, I've heard this many times on other forums I've been on. So you say 2005 was a bad year for gaming? Not the best compared to 2001-2004, but it was still pretty good.

I liked Starfox 64 way better than Assault. Call of Duty 2 was terrible and caused the decline of gaming, you know how much I hate shooters. :P Resident Evil 4 was amazing, though I do prefer RE2. God of War is a terrible series, it's Devil May Cry for teenage boys, I never liked it. Speaking of DMC, DMC3 came out in 2005, you should have listed that, that game was revolutionary.

Other than that, I loved the DS in 2005. The PSP was a major flop, they had that game Liberty City Stories and everyone realized the PSP was just a watered-down PS2. After that, people only used their PSPs to watch porn in class.

There were still some really good games that came out in the mid 00's like Ultimate Spider-Man, Star Wars Battlefront II and Destroy All Humans 2. I think that is the only thing I enjoyed about the 2004-2006 period. The games. Well, that and a small amount of Television and movies (but that's besides the point). The PSP is the worst, though. I don't know why anyone would buy it since it has no good games.


The PSP is like an alternative to XBOX or Playstation console games. A lot of the games on the PSP are like downgraded versions of those you can have on the side. I remember tons of guys being hyped up for it back in 3rd & 4th grade. I never had one, I owned a DS and I'm so glad I enjoyed that handheld instead of the other. I've always said that 5th & 6th generation was the golden age of gaming. While the 1st half of 7th generation (2006-2009) was like a silver age. I've talked to many people on IGN and gamesfaqs forums before who just go ahead and claim that the whole 2000's decade as the best for gaming. I just say the late 90's through the 2000's (5th gen through early 7th gen) was great for gaming. I don't care about 4th generation gaming though.

BTW, I mark late 2006 as the starting point of 7th generation and the end point for 6th generation. Just because the DS came in Fall 2004, the PSP came in Spring 2005, and the XBOX 360 came in Fall 2005 didn't mean 7th generation begin. By my rule ALL of the game consoles have to be released including big title games before the generation begins. 2004-mid 2006 were still 6th generation gaming years people! As well as late 2001-2003 was. However, late 2004-2006 can be seen as the full transition from 6th gen to 7th gen.

I liked Star Fox 64 and Assault equally, but regardless both were good games though. I somewhat agree with your opinion on PSP. Sorry I didn't list DMC3. But Mario Kart DS was the BEST DS game of 2005 hands down. The jump from Double Dash on the Gamecube to DS on the handheld was HUGE. The addition of retro courses, mission mode, VS mode, and wi-fi for the first time was the most epic experience ever. MKDS is the best handheld Mario Kart game of the entire series, hands down, no debate. Super Circuit sucked, and 7 was nothing special.

Hmm, Deryck scored with Avril so I can't say you're wrong >_< But then again she also married the dude from Nickleback, so maybe she just has bad taste lol.


Yeah, but... Deryck stopped being cool in mid 2003 when he started dating Paris Hilton! That would absolutely never happen in 2000, 2001 or 2002! You can see the early 00's just start to fall a part at that very moment. >:( Avril stopped being somewhat-but-barely cool in 2004 when she ditched the tomboy style! Deryck and Avril started dating around 2004, too. Then... Oh man... Underclass Hero and Best Damn Thing all in one year... Oh the horror! Oh the suffering!

Yeah, her taste got progressively worse and worse as time went on.

Dammit! Is that really what they used their PSP's for!? I swear you mid 00's kids get up to no good.

Yeah, I've played the PSP and oh man it was really bad. The Ratchet and Clank and Jak and Daxter games are awful on that thing. I've never really played much of the DS so I can't really say. I don't like the 7th generation at all. It was all about first person Call Of Duties by then. 8-P

I consider 1998 the start of the 6th generation and 2005 the start of the 7th, personally but the years after it are still co-existing preceding gen years (that makes sense, right?).

I don't think its fair to start a generation just because ONE console of the generation starts earlier than others. Heck, the Sega Dreamcast was discontinued 8 months before the XBOX and Gamecube were released. 1998-2000 are still clearly 5th generation gaming years to me. Most people agree that 6th generation gaming was in full effect by late 2001/early 2002 and 7th generation gaming was in full effect by late 2006/early 2007.

I think you can separate it into two categories. 1 being the absolute time span and the other being the main time span.

Nah Jordan, late 2001 was when 6th gen really started and 2007 was when 7th gen really got started.

I played that game for HOURS! Actually, the middle of my left thumb is still rather rough from all that snaking. That game was very addictive.

I loved 7 more than DS though, but it's like 9.9/10 vs 9.7/10 haha. I liked that they got rid of snaking, and it isn't as luck-based as most other Mario Kart games. It actually requires a lot more skill.

Nah Jordan, late 2001 was when 6th gen really started and 2007 was when 7th gen really got started.


Yeah, sure, I can see why but I think the absolute time span would start around 1998/1999 because of the Dreamcast and 2005 because of the 360. The main time span would start around 2000/2001 and 2006 (or 2007?).

Yeah, but... Deryck stopped being cool in mid 2003 when he started dating Paris Hilton! That would absolutely never happen in 2000, 2001 or 2002!

Oh man, back in high school in a class I wasn't in (fortunately), these people in my grade had a substitute teacher who let them do whatever they want. So this kid has his PSP and hoddles around every other dude in the class to watch 2 Girls 1 Cup (a scat-fetish porn if you haven't heard of it). It's basically girls pooping on each other and cups and stuff, from what I've heard. It was the talk of the school for weeks. Even the girls stopped talking to them lol. They kept obliging me to watch but I told them I'm good. I should probably watch it though and see what I missed out on.

If you wanna get REAL technical I guess, 1999-2006.(PS2 remained relevant until 2009 honestly, that console is BEAST!)
5th gen, 1995-2003.(People I knew were still into N64 in 2002 and even some of 03)
7th gen, 2005-2014. (People still play with the systems currently, but no one really talks about them that much anymore)
Fixed!

Uhhh....

??? ??? ??? ???

Scat-fetish...?? Uh... yeah, now I have a whole other reason to dislike the mid-late 00's...

Is this really what you guys were into? Back when I was in high school all a girl needed to do was have short parted hair, baggy pants and a skateboard (at least for me). In the mid-late 00's, you guys needed women to take sh!ts in cups to spark your interests? These really are the "Call of Doody" times.

The PS2 truly is the king of all consoles!

Yes that is Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock! :D

Golden age of gaming is 1991-2001 to me :P But I remember a lot of people in the late 2000s saying 2007 was the best year of gaming, and I can see where they're coming from, with all the new IPs that were introduced that year. That's the most revolutionary year in gaming (like it or hate it) since 1998.

Golden age of handheld gaming was 2005-2012 though, and we're still in its silver age, so it's not all bad. Unfortuantely, the iPhone is killing it off with its trash heep.

Yeah, to be fair I wasn't a teen in 2004/2005, just 2006. But being a preteen then was bad enough, I'm not sure being a teen would be any more fun. The video games were pretty bad, and the radio was very difficult to listen to. The TV shows were OK, the late 2000s were better in that regard though.

I liked the last half of 2009, that part of the year was really fun.


I'll say the late 2000s is better compared to the mid 2010s right now.
I think the dudes in the first picture dress a lot better! That is rad Y2K era fashion! See Steve-o? He is making a serious mean face which means they're tough and not to be messed with like most of us in the early 2000's. Real Pop Punk. On the other hand, the second picture, they look like douchebags! V-Necks and hot dogs? No thank you! 8-P

See? These guys are tough. They got hammers and will smash your's and the unsuspecting neighbors houses because they're rebellious. I bet they got, like, 50 different skateboards, dude!

I bet teenagers in high school back in the early 2000's criticized people for buying the Gameboy Advance or Gamecube too, in fact, I've heard this many times on other forums I've been on. So you say 2005 was a bad year for gaming? Not the best compared to 2001-2004, but it was still pretty good.

Nah, man. False. Nintendo was still cool and still at its golden age 2000-2004. It was definitely still ok to have a N64 and Gameboy system. Gamecube was just "Meh" People I knew still had Gameboys, 2003-04 at the school I was going to then. It was even ok to play Yoshi's Island.

Now on to what Slowpoke stated, Is real. In 2005-2006, Nintendo was unexceptable since. You could just feel it in the air.

I'm not sure about being a teen in the mid-2010s. I'm just glad that phase of my life is over lol.

You don't think the 6th gen is a part of the golden age?? :o

The PS2 is the mightiest system on the planet!

N64 is late 90's even though it carried on through the early 2000's. I was talking about the Gamecube being criticized for being kiddy in the early 2000's. I can't speak for everybody but from what I heard, there were high schoolers or older who thought the Gamecube was for young kids because of its purple color which I think is stupid, and same goes for the Gameboy Advance too (for being purple). Remember, this is what I've heard from going on other game forums, watching videos, and archiving sites. A lot of people praise the Gamecube more than ever now after the direction Nintendo went in when once Wii came out, but at the time the Gamecube was still new coming out with games a lot of people took it for granted. That's why I say the Gamecube was underrated and the last time Nintendo focused on true gamers and tons of variety. While the Wii had better Mario games (Mario games went through a huge slump throughout the 6th gen era), the Wii still predominantly focused on casual gamers with the motion controls and even non-gamers too. The Wii took away a lot of 2nd or 3rd party franchises that were still around during the N64 and Gamecube eras. The N64 was the most mature Nintendo console for true gamers that ever existed, it catered to all demographics.

Nah, man. False. Nintendo was still cool and still at its golden age 2000-2004. It was definitely still ok to have a N64 and Gameboy system. Gamecube was just "Meh" People I knew still had Gameboys, 2003-04 at the school I was going to then. It was even ok to play Yoshi's Island.


but anyways...

True Nintendo gaming wise, it was still in its golden age throughout 2000-2005, but it's been in a dark age since 2006.

Mario gaming wise Nintendo had its golden age throughout 2006-2009, while 2000-2005 was a dark age.

Here's a video in case you haven't seen it!

Great video, thanks for sharing. I'm surprised game journalist are as pessimistic as everyone else for the present-day state of gaming. Back when I used to really follow gaming during the 7th gen, journalists tried to be as optimistic as possible even though everything they knew and loved was collapsing around them. It seems they're a lot more sober now.

And it's great they chose the 90s (1990-2000, although I'd say 1991-2001) for the golden age of gaming! I agree with them. ;D I had the exact same reasons in mind, either a game was really polished, or a game was ground-breaking and revolutionary. It was an age of discovery for video games. 2006-2009 had a similar spirit, but I don't think it ever captured it completely. I'd consider 2006-2009 to be a silver age, only because gaming didn't feel so fresh in such a long time.

I'd say 1989-2004 was THE golden age of gaming overall! From the release of the Genesis and peak of NES, until 6th gen gaming had it's best year in 2004.

This seems the most accurate to me, and even though 5th & 6th generation was the golden age for me while I didn't care about 4th generation, you still gotta give it credit what it offered.

You don't think the 6th gen is a part of the golden age?? :o

The PS2 is the mightiest system on the planet!


It's a great system an' all, but it felt pretty stale towards the end when all the games became like each other (aka GTA clones and Need for Speed clones). It simply isn't as innovative as 4th/5th gen, or even 7th gen for that matter *gets flameshield ready*

The video defines golden age as "a period in a field of endeavour where many tasks were accomplished". When you compare 6th gen to 4th/5th gen, I don't think it makes the cut for this.

Uhhh....

??? ??? ??? ???

Scat-fetish...?? Uh... yeah, now I have a whole other reason to dislike the mid-late 00's...

Is this really what you guys were into? Back when I was in high school all a girl needed to do was have short parted hair, baggy pants and a skateboard (at least for me). In the mid-late 00's, you guys needed women to take sh!ts in cups to spark your interests? These really are the "Call of Doody" times. 

Nobody I knew was "into" that, it was what they called a "shock site", i.e. bait and switch viewers with something that sounds inconspicuous but is actually disgusting.

Even the early 00s had their fair share of shock sites, if not more so. May I remind you of...

Rotten.com, Lemonparty, Tubgirl, G o a tse? :o

The 6th generation games for the PS2 and Gamecube were amazing! I'd take those any day over 4th generation (which hasn't aged well IMO and there weren't many franchises around yet to top 5th or 6th gen).

Yeah but when it came out in 2000 it was amazing! The PS2 had tons of variety from 2000-2003 before call the Call of Dooty clones started taking over! Tons of great games using different engines and trying out different things! Though, I'll be honest, it still felt like a continuation (of the already still co-existing) 5th gen.

Ignites flames

Still PS2 is the king for it alone it should be included in the golden age.

Well, these kids were watching 2 Girls 1 Cup on their PSP's in class and bragging about it to all their buds. They must of had some enjoyment out of it or something!

I actually remember all those sites from waaayyy back but nobody I knew was eager or willing enough to check them out. The only one I've ever been on is rotten. Scared the living sh!t outta me. 

Wait! I remember the goat one, too! That one's gross! I clicked it by mistake once.

Woah, 4th Gen has aged way better than 5th or 6th gen, that's actually  the real core golden age to me :P

They actually mentioned many great revolutionary 4th Gen games in the middle of the video, and those games have aged incredibly well.

Oh yeah, the PS2 in 2000. I think I played Spiderman and SSX at my friend's house, those are great games 8) I'm not saying anything that came afterwards was terrible or there were no revolutionary games in 6th gen, the concentration of it is just too little compared to 4th/5th gen. The games in those generations really set the standard.

Spider-Man was on the PS1. :P :P SSX is definitely PS2, though! You have a fair point. The 5th gen really brought us forward with the raddest like Super Mario 64. You wouldn't have your Grand Theft Autos without that game and it's 3D. ;D ;D Dude, I remember when it came out and I thought "woah, this is the sickest!" The 3D was insane! In my opinion, 6th generation was pretty amazing from 1999-2004 and really good from 2004-2006 (yes, something good from 2004-2006? Amazes me, too!). If I had to end the golden age somewhere it'd be 2004 because that would span when all the top PS2/Xbox/GC games came out.

This is my opinion on how long the generations lasted and when it peaked, but what have I learned from here and my gaming experience. Most generations peak for 4 1/2 to 5 years on average, but 7th generation ended up peaking for the longest! Haven't we talked about that on here?

Great chart! I disagree with some of the peak dates for 4th-6th but overall it's really good.

Why'd the 7th generation last so long anyway? It's the least innovative and the games are a bunch of Call of Duty clones!

The consoles were really expensive, and as you can see, the technological jump for 7th gen to 8th gen wasn't all that huge. I'm still not sure as to why 8th gen exists, but oh well. 7th gen really did need a reboot.

I disagree that 7th gen was least innovative. Early 7th Gen was revolutionary and established a lot of what gaming is today, whether you like or hate gaming now. In the video they agreed that it could be an "honorary golden age" (silver age to me), and think they brought up some good points, including that the early 7th gen planted the seeds for what would become problems in gaming today.

Also, the PS3 (and Xbox 360 to a lesser extent) sold terribly during 2006-2009, but picked up in 2010, so they were in no rush to start a new generation.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The 7th and 8th gen are pretty much the same thing so far except the 8th gen has, let's say, two extra pixels?

I know the 7th gen pushed forward console DLC and online play (stuff that was basically non-existent on consoles before 2005-2006. I guess these would be the problems?) and I heard the PS3's hardware was also something new at the time but what else was innovative about it?

Wait, seriously!?!? I thought the PS3 and 360 picked up sometime around 2006!

Yeah, like I said before, 7th generation was so long that it could really be divided into 2 different eras, the first half from around 2006-2009 it was mainly the Wii and Nintendo DS that dominated in sales with big name titles, while from 2010-2013 it was mainly the XBOX 360 and PS3 that was popular.

Wait, seriously!?!? I thought the PS3 and 360 picked up sometime around 2006!


It did pick up during that year, but remember throughout the late 2000's it was the Wii craze that mainly dominated, due to a large amount of non-gamers who were excited for motion control games who never seen anything like it before. The Wii could really be a family console too. I'd even include the Nintendo DS as part of being real huge in the first half of 7th generation as well. Throughout the late 2000's Mario had a mini golden age with New Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Galaxy, so you mix that up with motion control games like Wii Sports or Fit then you got a real hit console right there. Nonetheless the XBOX 360 and PS3 were still already big by the late 2000's, but throughout the early 2010's it was A LOT bigger especially when Black Ops and the Kinect came out, plus the Wii declined throughout the early 2010's too.

We saw the rise of Indie and homebrew gaming in the late 2000s with XBLA and PSN (and Steam), which gave us many innovative games like Braid and Castle Crashers. The Wii with motion control gaming really brought local multiplayer back into the scene after its temporary death during late 6th gen, games like Wii Sports, Trauma Center, Strikers Charged felt really fresh and new. People also consider early 7th gen to be a mini-golden age for Mario games, with games like Mario Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros. The Xbox 360/PS3, while also bringing back multiplayer games in full force (though online), also brought us PC-style games like Oblivion and Mass Effect onto consoles. There was also room for much more complex games like Assassin's Creed and Bioshock. It also saw the rise of "cinematic gaming" with games like Heavenly Sword, not something I enjoy, but it was there.

Game-crippling DLC didn't really become all that common until 2011. And even then, it was mostly just EA, Ubisoft and Activision (if you buy games regularly from EA or Activision then you're part of the problem imo lol). It would be until 2012/2013 when most publishers realized they were missing a lot of money by not introducing game-crippling DLC.

Always loved indie games. They're cheap, fun, and unique most of the time. Nowadays I buy more indie games than I do anything else.

Oh yeah! I forgot about how big the motion controls were for the Wii (that was another innovation. I have spoken too soon. The controls still made me look like a dick). That's all I heard about back then; how "the Wii will make you active!" and "fun for the whole family!" The DS and Wii's main era was definitely 2006-2009 with those games you mentioned. Super Mario Galaxy was especially huge. I can definitely agree with the decline, too. You didn't hear much at all about the Wii from 2010 onward.

Nevermind what I said! Those are some huge innovations, especially for console games.

Don't worry, Activision haven't been cool since the mid 00's (they screwed up Tony Hawk! Project 8 onward is awful, awful, awful stuff!) and EA made the Sims 4 (which sucks. Another awful game from EA!). I don't even buy new games anymore. ;D But 2012? I could of sworn it was 2010 or 2011 but that late?

Man, you guys should have been there to see the GBA vs. PS3 GIFs, too bad most have them been taken down now. I get nostalgic over 2007 just for sales figures like these and the hilarity that ensued ;D

Don't worry, Activision haven't been cool since the mid 00's (they screwed up Tony Hawk! Project 8 onward is awful, awful, awful stuff!) and EA made the Sims 4 (which sucks. Another awful game from EA!). I don't even buy new games anymore. ;D But 2012? I could of sworn it was 2010 or 2011 but that late?

Oh, GOD was The Sims 4 a letdown! :( Not as disastrous as Sim City '13 apparently, but I couldn't believe how much Maxis took away from previous installments rather than adding to them.  What the hell happened to customizable neighborhoods, customizable paintings, customizable music, customizable body/clothing parts, etc.?  The Sims 2 had all those, and that was 12 years ago.  I guess they figured they'd be richer if they forced you to buy new things, as opposed to crafting them yourself.  They don't even have hot tubs, which were always among my favorite household objects since the first game 16 years ago.  Did Maxis think they would be catering to the iGeneration or something by simplifying the gameplay and discouraging imagination?

Actually, despite the lack of previous features, the game is far less accessible than any of the three previous games; I'm appalled that they got rid of the automatic roof feature, which even The Sims 1 made standard, but I'm even more appalled that the camera is tucked in a tab that you have to open down at the top of the screen.  I want to be able to change the screen angle constantly, why should that be such a chore when the buttons were previously just located in the lower dashboard?  The basic action prompts were screwed up as well; I direly miss the floating heads that would appear whenever you opened a menu of commands, not to mention clicking the mouse is far less responsive than it used to be; it takes at least a full second just to open the list of actions, and sometimes it doesn't show up at all!

It truly pains me that even one of my favorite computer franchises of all time, a game that promised an exciting and innovative future, has been reduced to a disjoint, manipulated mess.

That's true, but I think most people consider 1993 to be 2000s kid. If only my mom had given birth to me 5 weeks earlier.  >:(
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.


If I was born in Feb. 1983 I'd be a 90's kid? You sure? Anyway, that would of sucked. "90's kids" were teens/adults during the crappy real 00's. I was a teen during the mighty mid 90's and Y2K era. 1995-2003 was a rad time to be a teen/young adult!
No you wouldn't. People from that year were only basically kids in the early 90s. I can see them enjoying the same culture as you did from the mid 90s and on. Even more. not all. Some of them were teens/adults in the early 00s as well.


Like I said, He's mainly an early 00s kid with a mix of late 90s.



Yeah, that sounds about right. He's got both 1998-1999 and 2000-2002.


What about 1996 and '97?


Nope, even late 1992 are still in the same cohort of most 1993 born's as well. It's about the age you are for most of the year, not your numerical birthdate. Nobody's gonna sit here and try to claim that a December 1991 born is more related to a January 1991 born than a January 1992 born lol.
I think what would be better is an age range. Most of my friends and I grew up with the same trends.

That's right!  ;). I played this game everyday when I had it on the PC. It was one of the most fun games. I unfortunately didn't pass the entire game as I got stuck on a level. In addition to that, here are other PC games I played.

And there was another game I played on the PC, but I can't remember the name. You play as someone in a trench jacket and the cats were enemies. Moreover, it had trampolines; it and you can see the levels from top to bottom. It was great.

If I was born in Feb. 1983 I'd be a 90's kid? You sure? Anyway, that would of sucked. "90's kids" were teens/adults during the crappy real 00's. I was a teen during the mighty mid 90's and Y2K era. 1995-2003 was a rad time to be a teen/young adult!


Every birth year is different, or even what part of the year. You're late '80s early '90s kid. I'm "90s kid", but also "y2k era" teen (all these eras you people come up with on here  ::)) Anyway my teens overlap your era and what you call the "real '00s" lol, someone born in 1991's for example wouldn't. so we're all unique.

I'd say 1989-2004 was THE golden age of gaming overall! From the release of the Genesis and peak of NES, until 6th gen gaming had it's best year in 2004.


More like 1985 to 2004. In the second half of the 80s, there were plenty of games that paved the way for future ones.


Yeah, like I said before, 7th generation was so long that it could really be divided into 2 different eras, the first half from around 2006-2009 it was mainly the Wii and Nintendo DS that dominated in sales with big name titles, while from 2010-2013 it was mainly the XBOX 360 and PS3 that was popular.


This is what I can agree with. During the first half, there was plenty of variety. You had everything you can find (even shooters as they weren't the same as they are today). Here's how I see it.

1st half: 2005 to 2009 (I remember the 360 being popular as much as the Wii)

2nd half: 2010 to 2015 (2016 end?)


Great chart! I disagree with some of the peak dates for 4th-6th but overall it's really good.

Why'd the 7th generation last so long anyway? It's the least innovative and the games are a bunch of Call of Duty clones!


Well actually, CoD was not that popular during its early days. The game that made it rise was either MW2 or BO1. Even for MW1 and WaW, the most popular mode was campaign. I don't remember many people talking about the series and even asking others to play online multiplayer back then.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007) and Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010) were the biggest hits from what I remember. Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops II were just as popular too. I remember all of the sudden during my 1st semester of freshman year and your 1st semester of senior when Black Ops and the Kinect came out in November. There was an immediate shift in 7th generation gaming from that point on. The zombie mode on Black Ops was very addicting and everybody was jumping on the bandwagon to quickly get an XBOX 360 or PS3 to play online with each other. I'm guilty of this myself.

Yeah, that one isn't as good as the might fatty.


That's why I decided a few years ago to trade it in for the mightier PS3. :P

Jordan's saying he doesn't want to be a teen during the core 2000s.


How about being a teen during the 70's?

Uhhh....

??? ??? ??? ???

Scat-fetish...?? Uh... yeah, now I have a whole other reason to dislike the mid-late 00's...

Is this really what you guys were into? Back when I was in high school all a girl needed to do was have short parted hair, baggy pants and a skateboard (at least for me). In the mid-late 00's, you guys needed women to take sh!ts in cups to spark your interests? These really are the "Call of Doody" times. 


Eh... not really. I don't think 2 Girls 1 Cup wasn't influenced for many people, since a lot of people would be disgusted by how they eat sh*t on a cup. I don't even think it was that popular until 2006/7.

Always loved indie games. They're cheap, fun, and unique most of the time. Nowadays I buy more indie games than I do anything else.


Speaking of indie games, do you like Undertale?

Yes that is Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock! :D


aka Rocky Maivia. ;)

I've only been back here a couple days and I'm already really sick of the words "core" and "era".  ::) Reminds me of why I was away for 2 1/2 years.

I would like to be a teen during the late 70s, but not the early or mid portion of the decade.

I don't think anybody here used the term "core" for decades until last year.

between 1975-1980? ???

I don't think anybody here used the term "core" for decades until last year.


Oh people used it or at least similar terms. It always was too much about dissecting what the "core" of whatever decade/kid/teen whatever was instead of actual nostalgia.

between 1975-1980? ???


Well, I would say late 1976 to early 1980.

You know what? I agree with this. The reason why I joined InThe00s was because I wanted to be nostalgic over the 2000s. Almost every single thread that these guys make talk about the early/mid/late 2000s, and how it should be this and that. This thread is a huge example on the topic. I've been on several forums, and I just wanted to talk about the 2000s. That's it. What's kinda worse is that these people are either 90s kids or early 2000s kids. I can kinda relate towards some early 2000s influences, but not that much.

Yeah I remember that too. Modern Warfare 1 gave me huge motion sickness 8-P That game was awful, just your millionth WW2 shooter. People bought it because it had good graphics. Halo 3 was a much better shooter from 2007, now that game is fun!

Yeah I was here years ago as far back as 2004, it was more nostalgia oriented back then. Back then I talked about being a child in the '90s (before all that stupid "90s kid" bs even existed), these days as I get older I actually look back on my early-mid '00s teen years more. As time went on though it became more of that "what is the core '_0s" "what is a core '_0s teen" "what is the y2k era" etc. A decade is a 10 year period, of course the early part is gonna seem different from the end but it's still all part of the decade.

You'll have to wait a bit longer for people your age to start getting nostalgic. Other than that, we do talk about the 2000s, just the 2 Girls 1 Cup (teen) side of it, not the Phineas & Ferb (kid) part lol.

Yeah, I can see the issue you're having. Now that I think about I don't think there has been a thread that talks about the entire 2000s as a whole. I don't make threads as I usually just prefer to join in other already made threads. So far I've seen an early '00s thread and a mid '00s thread. I may be blind or something as I don't remember seeing a late '00s thread. I have tons of good personal life moments from that time. And it was also the time I've come to really love using the internet.

ಠ_ಠ wish I wasn't remind of 2 Girls 1 Cup. But anyways didn't it take a while before mid 00's nostalgia to become a thing? Early 00s nostalgia has been around for a while now. Late '00s nostalgia I can see happening by the time we reach the late '10s.

It's gonna be 2017 in less than 11 months, so I guess would start becoming nostalgic over the late '00s by then.

It's going to be 10 years since that Chad Kroeger video and Britney Spear's meltdown :o

Actually, it is starting to sound like a while ago...

edit: my bad, Chris Crocker! Their names rhyme 'kay... >:(

People tend to be nostalgic for eras that are far removed from the present era in terms of culture and maybe even personal life. I can see the late 2010s being the time period where people would become nostalgic for the late 2000s. And by 2020 the "old is gold" mentality would be in place for the entire 2000s.

This is just my own little prediction that could easily turn up to be wrong, but hey I like to remain optimistic.  ;D

Almost anything from the late '00s feels old to me now. Especially 2007-2008.

2007 IS a while ago now, most people had a simple flip phone then. "Social media" barely existed, now dominates the internet.

Pretty much. I can see the differences in 2007 when compared to 2016. Smartphones released in 2007, but the year that something is released is sometimes not the same moment that it became huge/popular. I didn't see smartphone devices until around 2010 and tablets like the ipad didn't exist until 2010. Social media in 2007 was mostly just Myspace as Facebook/Twitter didn't get popular until 2009 (from what statistics say anyways).

Smartphones actually originally go way back to the '90s, but it took until the iPhone for them to begin to take off with the masses. But yeah around 2010 when Android blew up too and prices started to fall, that's when you can say they became mass market. In the late '90s/early '00s there were smartphones (windows mobile, symbian) and pdas (palm pilot) they were marketed primarily towards the corporate market.

Woah, 4th Gen has aged way better than 5th or 6th gen, that's actually  the real core golden age to me :P

They actually mentioned many great revolutionary 4th Gen games in the middle of the video, and those games have aged incredibly well.

Yep 4th gen has aged better than 5th gen! ;D

2007 IS a while ago now, most people had a simple flip phone then. "Social media" barely existed, now dominates the internet.


Flip phones with Crank That as their ringtone 8-P

My ringtone was Mr. Lonely ;D

It's a great system an' all, but it felt pretty stale towards the end when all the games became like each other (aka GTA clones and Need for Speed clones). It simply isn't as innovative as 4th/5th gen, or even 7th gen for that matter *gets flameshield ready*

The video defines golden age as "a period in a field of endeavour where many tasks were accomplished". When you compare 6th gen to 4th/5th gen, I don't think it makes the cut for this.

I could see why you think that, PS2 DOMINATED!!! It felt like THE console, there really was no war that generation! ;D ;D ;D ;D
But, the 5th gen also hasn't really aged that well tbh.
I still think the 3rd generation to the first half of 6th gen was the golden period of gaming.

So, I guess child of the 90s work better than 90s kid to you?

It's weird Crank That is close to 10 years old, I remember complaining about all that kind of "ringtone rap" on here back then like yesterday. Another song of the same variety, "It's Goin Down" by Yung Joc (talk about forgotten lol) actually turns 10 this year.

Oops! My mistake as I was was referring to the Iphone when I said 2007. But yeah smartphones have been around way earlier than that, but they didn't have the same popularity that they do today. Nowadays you'd see elementary school kids caring smartphones. Kind of makes me a bit jealous. My parents never would've allowed me to carry a phone at an age under 14.

I just hate how the '90s kid thing turned into a joke. I actually looked back at one of my posts from 2004 and I actually used the term "'90s kid" lol. The term doesn't matter. Ultimately I don't care who's an '80s '90s '00s kid, all have their positives and negatives.

Yeah I have a good memory of technology so I do like to point out about things like HDTV and smartphones EXISTING in the early '00s (I remember it), though I know they were not mainstream technology yet.

2007 IS a while ago now, most people had a simple flip phone then. "Social media" barely existed, now dominates the internet.


^ This clearly defines on how the late 2000s seem really dated. It's almost 10 years since '07 passed and already it has huge differences now.

So, I guess child of the 90s work better than 90s kid to you?


I mostly just prefer to say "I mainly grew up in this time period" over "I'm a __ kid". The first time I even heard of the term "90s kid" or "00s kid" was when the stupid "90s kid" thing was becoming popular. Couldn't go on Facebook, youtube, Twitter, Google or anywhere else without running into those  STUPID "Only 90s kids will remember this" pictures. And then I started seeing tons of forums and threads talking about the subject. And then we had that event where you'd see 90s kids hating on 00s kids for some strange reason (the thought of older people in their 20s arguing and insulting people their preteens/teens who did nothing wrong just shows how stupid this whole thing is) Apparently growing up in a different era makes you inferior to the point where you have people who "pity" you for not growing up with the things that they grew up with. People need to remember that they have NO CONTROL of the time period they were born/grew up in. It wasn't anyone's choice.

"If you don't remember these then your childhood sucks" as if these people have any right to tell younger people (who I'm 100% sure they don't even know) that their childhood's (which the older people weren't even a part of in anyway or form) were terrible. And if you ever try to apply any logic to this you'll realize how dumb this whole thing is.

I think I over did it and went into a little rant. My bad....

Yeah. It seems like a long time to me since Crank That was released. That song was like one of the late '00s anthems.

Yeah I have a good memory of technology so I do like to point out about things like HDTV and smartphones EXISTING in the early '00s (I remember it), though I know they were not mainstream technology yet.


HDTVs are something that I know have been around in the early '00s (and possibly earlier), but the I don't remember them being big until the late '00s. Must be a trend where whenever some new tech comes out it doesn't become popular until a few years later. Like how the Ipod came out in 2001, but didn't get big until 2005-6 according to charts.

Yeah the iPod was Mac only at first to until 2003 I believe, considering only 5% of people own Macs it's easy to see why that didn't get so huge right away. HDTV there were few HD channels back then and the tvs were more expensive, not practically given away like now.

Yeah. It seems like a long time to me since Crank That was released. That song was like one of the late '00s anthems.


A song like "Fergalicious" is very of that time too.

Same with how cellphones weren't popular until the early-mid 90s.

Or Sexyback, Kanye West's Stronger, Numa Numa, etc.

I actually liked SexyBack LOL.  :D


LOL wow. ;D My guilty pleasure from that year was the My Chemical Romance Black Parade song and album. (how can I hide this post from Jordan??)

I don't care what anybody says about Soulja Boy. I will always have nostalgia for Crank That- Soulja Boy, Turn My Swag On- Soulja Boy, and All the Way Turnt Up- Roscoe Dash ft. Soulja Boy. Those epic songs I jammed with all my middle school friends and acquaintances. I'm pretty sure we all have our guilty pleasure songs we loved when we were middle school or high school aged that older folks hated at the time. It's just like how as a 20 year old I can't stand Watch Me Whip Nae Nae by Silento even though it's popular towards the current middle school and high school crowd.

But dude, Crank That doesn't even have any lyrics except "Superman" and "Soulja Boy is back". I have no idea what the rest of the song is saying ;D

You're right about middle school guilty pleasures though.......... mine would be... G-Gwen Stefani's Rich Girl >_____<

Yeah tbh we all have different tastes and our guilty pleasures. I like a lot of music that many people consider horrible (Avril Lavigne (love her) to give another example beyond the other songs I've posted) but I don't care LOL. Soulja was actually kinda fun in a novelty way, it did stick out more than some of those other songs from then.

Hollaback Girl didn't have the hook that Rich Girl did. At that point I just wanted her off so I could listen to Akon or Jennifer Lopez (her song "Get Right" is her best!)

Very cool and I agree, I LOVE those too.  8)


Her song "Anything But Ordinary" is still kind of my life anthem ;D

I do prefer JT's 2002/2003 stuff though, I actually think "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body" are great songs. I still listen to Ashanti (am I the only one?) too.  ;D

Man this takes me back to being 16.



Remember JoJo? She was only 13 when she made this amazing song.  :o

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggWyUEuGcWY



But dude, Crank That doesn't even have any lyrics except "Superman" and "Soulja Boy is back". I have no idea what the rest of the song is saying ;D

You're right about middle school guilty pleasures though.......... mine would be... G-Gwen Stefani's Rich Girl >_____<

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rlNpWYQunY

I hated Hollaback Girl though, so I'm innocent there.


Whoa!!!! I remember all these songs just like yesterday. It's amazing how they are old now. I listened to them all sometime ago and took me back!

Here's another Soulja Boy song I enjoyed as well! This was probably his last big hit from what I remember. Courtesy goes to 2010 music.



Man, Soulja Boy is the #2 reason I can't get nostalgic for the 2000s. (George Bush would be #1) ;D

I'm going to hold you to that, mate! Now to wait for the 2020s where you'll soon admit your love for the 2000s. It's only a matter of time. You'll soon let your inner nostalgia get the best of you and soon you'll be missing your 2000s years.

I didn't think I could get nostalgic for anything past 2001, and here I am nostalgic for 2002 to mid-2004, so it's definitely possible ;D

Oh yeah I remember that very well.  ;D Yeah that was a good show I haven't seen it in a long time.

What happened in late '04? Didn't like the pop culture or didn't enjoy your personal life as much?

Yeah, the latter.

I think in the 2020s, I'll be more nostalgic for the 2010s. Remember that thread I made? In 2021 I'll definitely be rewatching Breaking Bad and dancing to Bad Romance LOL.

I come back to this thread and I don't even know what's going on anymore.  2001 is saying stuff about not being nostalgic after 2001 even though 2002 is pure Y2K era (I am blinded with rage that you do not accept the mighty 2002) and you guys are talking sh!t about the mighty George W and now I see 2001 saying Black Parade was a good song when it's a known fact My Chemical Romance only have one good album. I don't understand this. Time to scroll though the thread...

Oh, GOD was The Sims 4 a letdown! :( Not as disastrous as Sim City '13 apparently, but I couldn't believe how much Maxis took away from previous installments rather than adding to them.  What the hell happened to customizable neighborhoods, customizable paintings, customizable music, customizable body/clothing parts, etc.?  The Sims 2 had all those, and that was 12 years ago.  I guess they figured they'd be richer if they forced you to buy new things, as opposed to crafting them yourself.  They don't even have hot tubs, which were always among my favorite household objects since the first game 16 years ago.  Did Maxis think they would be catering to the iGeneration or something by simplifying the gameplay and discouraging imagination?

Actually, despite the lack of previous features, the game is far less accessible than any of the three previous games; I'm appalled that they got rid of the automatic roof feature, which even The Sims 1 made standard, but I'm even more appalled that the camera is tucked in a tab that you have to open down at the top of the screen.  I want to be able to change the screen angle constantly, why should that be such a chore when the buttons were previously just located in the lower dashboard?  The basic action prompts were screwed up as well; I direly miss the floating heads that would appear whenever you opened a menu of commands, not to mention clicking the mouse is far less responsive than it used to be; it takes at least a full second just to open the list of actions, and sometimes it doesn't show up at all!

It truly pains me that even one of my favorite computer franchises of all time, a game that promised an exciting and innovative future, has been reduced to a disjoint, manipulated mess.


Yeah, man! It's more like Sims 1.5 than an improvement over Sims 3. I loved the freedom of roaming around town and the creativity of it. Not even the base game. I loved that there was so much space for me to mod the game to my liking. I had stuff like Dexter the Bear and Assassin Careers in my game. I totally bumped it up to an M rating with the stuff I've done. Sims 2 even had more room to despite the more ridged neighborhood features. I really hate the house creation features in Sims 4. Sims 3 was incredible with how fluid it was! >:(

The automatic roof feature was sick. Making roofs is a total pain in the ass, eh? It was a lot easier for me to just place a random one and be done with it. Dude, un-accessible is Sims 4's middle name! It took me hours to find out where all the buttons were. Why is it so hard to find? Sims 3 was nice and neat. You could find what you were looking for. Sims 4? Nope, EA wants to make things difficult. The conversation system is also incredibly broken, too! My Sims never face each other when speaking!


No you wouldn't. People from that year were only basically kids in the early 90s. I can see them enjoying the same culture as you did from the mid 90s and on. Even more. not all. Some of them were teens/adults in the early 00s as well.


That's what I thought! I'd be class of 2001 instead of 2000. That isn't "00's teen" at all since the real 2000's began in 2003-2004!


What about 1996 and '97?


Good point! He is pretty much a pure 90's-Y2K era kid.


Every birth year is different, or even what part of the year. You're late '80s early '90s kid. I'm "90s kid", but also "y2k era" teen (all these eras you people come up with on here  ::)) Anyway my teens overlap your era and what you call the "real '00s" lol, someone born in 1991's for example wouldn't. so we're all unique.


I think I am the ultimate person of the 90's-Y2K era!  ;) What year were you born in?


That's why I decided a few years ago to trade it in for the mightier PS3. :P


But... The PS2 is for kings! The PS3 is for peasants!


How about being a teen during the 70's?


I'd prefer the 80's! I love that decade.


Eh... not really. I don't think 2 Girls 1 Cup wasn't influenced for many people, since a lot of people would be disgusted by how they eat sh*t on a cup. I don't even think it was that popular until 2006/7.


That is pretty gross but I thought the real 2000's were all about eating sh!t? ;D Jokes aside, I see it being popular for it's shock value. Rotton is the worst, though. Seriously, I couldn't sleep with my light off after seeing that sh!t as a teen.


I've only been back here a couple days and I'm already really sick of the words "core" and "era".  ::) Reminds me of why I was away for 2 1/2 years.


:(

Well, you know, it's just my way of being nostalgic. I'm just very particular about my era as it's a special time for me and I like to express my opinion on it.


Yeah I have a good memory of technology so I do like to point out about things like HDTV and smartphones EXISTING in the early '00s (I remember it), though I know they were not mainstream technology yet.


I know that HD the stuff has existed as far back as 1990 and started being sold around 1996-1997 when the first HDTV's and smartphones started coming around.


LOL wow. ;D My guilty pleasure from that year was the My Chemical Romance Black Parade song and album. (how can I hide this post from Jordan??)


>:( >:( >:( >:(


Eh. I'm pretty sure Jordan would say that My Chemical Romance sucked, because it was in the "real" 2000s.


Their first album from 2002 is really good Post-Hardcore though. It's the only one I like. Geez, I am predictable! I'm sorry but I just do not click with the real 2000's. shrug


I didn't think I could get nostalgic for anything past 2001, and here I am nostalgic for 2002 to mid-2004, so it's definitely possible ;D


Oh, this is what you said! 2000-2002 and most of 2003 is the only part of the 2000's I am nostalgic for. ;D ;D

Jordan the downer.

A true American hero. I salute you Bush!

I think I am the ultimate person of the 90's-Y2K era!  ;) What year were you born in?



I was born in May 1987. I'm both a Y2K era teen and mid '00s teen. Graduated in 2005. I like the y2k era part of my teens best though!  ;)

I was born in May 1987. I'm both a Y2K era teen and mid '00s teen. Graduated in 2005. I like the y2k era part of my teens best though!  ;)


Oh, I see! I graduated in 2000 (as you've probably guessed! ;D) so I spent the 2001 and 2002 mostly going to Punk shows and skateboarding (I did this a whole lot from 1996 to 2005). I love both the mid 90's and Y2K era parts of my teens pretty equally but when it comes to adulthood, Y2K era all the way! Those sure were the days. I love the music, movies, TV and vibe of back then.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007) and Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010) were the biggest hits from what I remember. Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops II were just as popular too. I remember all of the sudden during my 1st semester of freshman year and your 1st semester of senior when Black Ops and the Kinect came out in November. There was an immediate shift in 7th generation gaming from that point on. The zombie mode on Black Ops was very addicting and everybody was jumping on the bandwagon to quickly get an XBOX 360 or PS3 to play online with each other. I'm guilty of this myself.
Well, the zombies mode began with WaW. I remember one of my friends buying the DLC and it was fascinating. As for the series, you're correct that they were popular; however, I meant that during late 00s they weren't in high demand as they are now. At that time, it was still all about Halo 3 (which was still favored in 2008).


Yeah I remember that too. Modern Warfare 1 gave me huge motion sickness 8-P That game was awful, just your millionth WW2 shooter. People bought it because it had good graphics. Halo 3 was a much better shooter from 2007, now that game is fun!
It sure was. I had so much fun with Halo 3 when it first came out. I was actually trying to buy the game, but it wasn't out yet  ;D. Mw1 wasn't bad either (although I got it later) and it wasn't like some of the CoD games today.

A true American hero. I salute you Bush!

Are you trolling? I mean, you're entitled to your opinion, but it seems like such an unpopular opinion that would typically get Internet users burned at the figurative stake. ;D

Hahaha, I think he's a hilarious president. I don't feel strongly about him either way except he's the one who inspired some awful, awful stuff (a certain Green Day CD...). I remember when the whole backlash began and I was still going to shows. Bands got real sh!tty around this time and started chasing in on the political crap (and also stopped being fun!) and all the kids would follow like sheep. Me, being the joker I am, I'd tell those Punk Voter types about how much I loved Bush and how "war is a neat idea! Go America!" just to get a rise out of them.

Yep. You were mainly a 90s adolescent. Anyone in your age range was definitely one as well.

Yeah, he is.

Yeah, exactly what I thought! Kids born from 1980-1983 were still mainly adolescents of the 90's.

To me, I'll say that Trap rap is Early Gen Z genre than late millennials. For late millennials, the genre of rap that defines us in my opinion are ringtone rap, post-crunk and snap (i.e. Dorrough Music, Yo Gotti, late 00's DJ Khaled and Lil Wayne, Yo Gotti, Soulja Boy,T.I,  Hurricane Chris, T-Pain, etc), Party rap, Grime and funky music (a genre from the UK), and back-pack rap like Lupe Fiasco, N.E.R.D, Lil Mama, early Wale, B.O.B, Gym Class Heroes (both rap rock and nerd rap imo), and 2010-2011 B.O.B.

The trap rap era began in 2011 or 2012? All of this applies to me. Whether it's late 2000's ringtone rap, post-crunk snap, party rap, DJ Khaled, Lil Wayne, Yo Gotti, T.I., Soulja Boy, B.O.B., early Drake, etc. or trap rap music with modern Drake, Kayne West, Trey Songz, Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, or the Weeknd. I'm not sure where Kendrick Lamar stands since he's a damn good rapper! I enjoy(ed) most of these artists songs. 2010 was my all time favorite year for music though, electropop and hip-hop/R&B wise.

BTW, this was the first major trap rap hit from what I remember. It came out right around the time my sophomore year of high school began.

It depends.  Do you think the defining era of music for people is during their teen years or early twenties?  As an early Gen-Yer, I consider "my" music to be what was popular during the late '00s and early '10s.  That was when I was in my early twenties and felt the most culturally relevant.  If generational music is defined by teen culture, then "my" music would be Eminem, Ja Rule, Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, and early Lil Jon.  I don't perceive it that way as I think we are most musically aware when we are in the 18-25 age range.

I consider trap rap to be a late Gen Y thing.  Gen Z music is Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, One Direction, Carly Rae Jepsen, etc.

I personally prefer my teen years (Britney, Christina, Avril, early Beyonce, Ashanti, Alicia Keys pop wise) myself, but some late '00s (Rihanna, GaGa, Katy) is ok too. Rap wise I'll take Eminem, Snoop Dogg, JaRule anyday over Soulja Boy, Mims, Yung Joc.

It probably depends on the person, I don't think there are any hard rules. I mean, would you say Jordan's prime music years were 2000-2007? LOL

Call Me Maybe was a nice, cathcy, innocent song. Maybe I'm Gen Z for liking it haha.

Nah, Jordan's prime music years were the 80s to 2003. Also, I'm pretty sure it's uncommon to have a Gen Y saying that Call Me Maybe was a nice song. And this is coming from an early Z kid.

I'm going to hold you to that, mate! Now to wait for the 2020s where you'll soon admit your love for the 2000s. It's only a matter of time. You'll soon let your inner nostalgia get the best of you and soon you'll be missing your 2000s years.

It's a possibility. Either way, I hope the 2020s are more interesting. It'll be interesting to see the backlash against the pretentious/cutesy/quirky/hipster vibe of the 2010s.

Me too. I just wish the 2020s wouldn't be as bad as the 2010s, since people would be massively nostalgic over the 2000s at the point.

But... The PS2 is for kings! The PS3 is for peasants!

It looks like you won't have to worry about that anytime soon. The core 2010s culture will still be going strong this year and probably 2017 (2017 will probably be both a late and core 2010s year). 2018 will probably be where things start to change, though it will most likely be a gradual change. So yeah, you've got plenty of time to enjoy it.

I don't think it would die this year. It would probably transition into Neo '20s culture in either 2018 or 2019. Could go either way.

Yep. The 2010s culture is going strong as of 2016. I guess things will be changing sometime between 2017-2020.

Man! For some reason I'm really excited to see the '20s. For all I know it could be a horrible decade. I've just grown bored of the '10s. I don't hate the '10s, but I am eager to see the '20s. Wanna see the crazy new fashion, music and other cultural trends.

A true American hero. I salute you Bush!


You know, if you loved Bush so much, then how come you don't like the "real" 2000s?

I just hope the perfect vision decade is all about innovation and creative thought, unlike the sterilizing collectivism of the 2010s.  Hopefully, virtual reality will survive into something permanent this time unlike the past, when it was associated with eye strain and monochrome red.

Exactly Jordan for example considers the 80s-early 00s his music!
I say "my music'' was the mid 00s until the mid 2010s got full swing. I'm just not really a fan of the mainstream music that's going on right now.

I think I was a proto-hipster, if hipster means "young, white, upper-middle class urbanite". Back in 2007-11 I used to be a huge bike riding enthusiast, dressed rather preppy by then's standards, and was a huge foodie (liked eating out at new local restaurants). I even picked up cans on the sidewalk to recycle them later LOL. I moved to a suburbia in 2012 so I couldn't really participate in a lot of it after that. But in the 2020s I definitely plan to move back downtown and become a bike riding, peacoat wearing, ethnic food eating, fair-trade coffee drinking, rabid environmentalist hippie again  ;D ;D Yeah, you're probably thinking "Who the hell actually wants to be a hipster?? Only Slowpoke!"

I'm gay, so social justice warriors have actually done a lot of good for me, and I can't thank LGBT allies enough. I do think some social justice pick the wrong fights and concentrate on the strangest things, but I can't despise the 2010s for its progressive bent, and I think those people have their hearts in the right place. I can definitely see why some people want some social harmony though. Of course that would be nice too.

Maybe I'm just limitlessly optimistic  :o

I even picked up cans on the sidewalk to recycle them later LOL. I moved to a suburbia in 2012 so I couldn't really participate in a lot of it after that. But in the 2020s I definitely plan to move back downtown and become a bike riding, peacoat wearing, ethnic food eating, fair-trade coffee drinking, rabid environmentalist hippie again  ;D ;D Yeah, you're probably thinking "Who the hell actually wants to be a hipster?? Only Slowpoke!"

I'm gay, so social justice warriors have actually done a lot of good for me, and I can't thank LGBT allies enough. I do think some social justice pick the wrong fights and concentrate on the strangest things, but I can't despise the 2010s for its progressive bent, and I think those people have their hearts in the right place. I can definitely see why some people want some social harmony though. Of course that would be nice too.

Maybe I'm just limitlessly optimistic  :o


Ha! Only Slowpoke would wanna be a hipster. I wonder if in the 2020s the hipster culture would still be around. Or is the hipster culture one of those "Extremely 10's" things that won't survive in any other decade? Wonder how long the 10's culture will last before it changes into the 20's culture.

While I'm supportive of LGBT individuals being treated with respect I was never a fan of Social Justice Warriors. I can understand what they're trying to do, but I don't think they've been doing their job well enough. As you mention they tend to pick the wrong fights and concentrate on strange things that overall aren't even much of a big deal. Now while I'm not a SJW supporter I have nothing against people who do support them. And being limitlessy optimistic is an okay thing to me. Nothing wrong with keeping your hopes up and brightening your mood.  ;)

And hey it's always nice to find someone who enjoys modern day. I'm usually tired of the "modern life sucks" attitude that a majority of people have. The 2010s is a bit "meh" for me, but it isn't bad. I'm a lover of both past and future.

I hope it stays alive! Well not hipsters in particular, but urbanite culture  ;D They have all sorts of cool festivals there now that they didn't when I lived there.

I sort of feel that the 2010s are "my" decade. The same way my mom feels about the 80s or my dad feels about the 70s, I feel the same way about the 2010s. You'll have to feel sorry for my future children (if I have any) once I blast Uptown Funk and Moves Like Jagger in the car and make them suffer in 2025 ;D

Making them listen to 10's music that'll be VERY outdated by the mid '20s?  :o

All their friends will be like "Why do you listen to outdated music?". Embarrassing your  future children.  >:(

LOL the 2010s are going to look so cheesey to them. Imagine people in the future seeing manbuns or guys wearing floral  ;D

My music is 2007-present, however, my absolute peak in interest was 2010, with my senior year of high school being the last great stretch IMO.

2006, 2008-2011 years in general were my all time interest!  :)

It probably depends on the person, I don't think there are any hard rules. I mean, would you say Jordan's prime music years were 2000-2007? LOL

Call Me Maybe was a nice, cathcy, innocent song. Maybe I'm Gen Z for liking it haha.


2004-2007? My prime years for music!? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Could you imagine that? Oh, that's funny. :P


Exactly Jordan for example considers the 80s-early 00s his music!
I say "my music'' was the mid 00s until the mid 2010s got full swing. I'm just not really a fan of the mainstream music that's going on right now.



Nah, Jordan's prime music years were the 80s to 2003. Also, I'm pretty sure it's uncommon to have a Gen Y saying that Call Me Maybe was a nice song. And this is coming from an early Z kid.


Both these dudes know.


bite your tongue! :P


But that's painful! I once bit my tongue and it started bleeding. Ouch.


You know, if you loved Bush so much, then how come you don't like the "real" 2000s?


I read the first part and thought it was gonna go "If you loved Bush so much why didn't you marry him?" but it didn't and I'm disappointed. Bush was cool in 2001 and 2002. Those were his post-90's-90's years. In 2003-2004 he inspired lame bullsh!t like American Idiot and Rock Against Bush. Albums for my toilet (but if I clog the toilet again my wife will kick my ass so I won't be doing that :( :( :().


I want it to be like the 90s where even 2021 is quasi-2010s  ;D

Bro I made the "will you be nostalgic for the 2010s in the 2020s" thread. I'm the biggest 2010s fanboy on here. ;D


Difference is the quasi-90's (2000-2003) were amazing years that I will cherish forever.  I can't wait for the 2010's to be over. I am hoping the 2020's are better. :P :P :P :P :P :P


Everyone hated on Bush in the "real 2000s" starting with the release of American Idiot (Jordan's most hated song/album) :P


Green Day did the worst with that album. My once favorite band, the one who had gotten me into Punk along with the Offspring, just selling out by putting on make up and singing informed political anthems. Pandering to the real 00's trends. In my mind, Green Day died in April 2003. Pop Disaster was Green Day's farewell tour.

Hipsters are the worst! All they do is "sip on frappuccinos" in Starbucks and complain about things! You don't see me complain about anything as I'm a very positive person who appreciates all things. Some Social Justice dick-head yelled at me in public once because I said something he deemed offensive (I didn't even say anything wrong either). Gay rights are cool but SJW douchebags shouldn't be the face of the movement like they're unfortunately becoming. Cool dudes like Bob Mould should be because he writes rad songs and does cool stuff.

I liked the mid 2000s and I also liked the late 2000s. I like all of the 2000s really.

I want it to be like the 90s where even 2021 is quasi-2010s  ;D


2001 isn't like the 90s though..

We're going to live in a world where the 2010s will never end. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Soon the eras of the 2000s and before will be long forgot by the world. Soon to the future public there will be no world before the 2010s that they can remember.

Hipsters will rule the world. And we'll all be forced to listen to electropop soundtracks 24/7 without breaks. Oh... and if you don't have a neckbeard... then you're going to have to grow one (yes, even if you're a woman). Also any male that doesn't  man bun is forever banished

.
2001 isn't like the 90s though..


It's like the late '90s (1998-1999). Not sure what it was like for those of you who lived in other parts of the world though.

2001 was like half late 90's and half early 00's. 2001 was the transition from late 90's to early 2000's culture, but really the 2000-01 school year was the transition from late 90's to early 00's due to the election and inauguration of George Bush and a lot of cultural 2000's pop culture began in 2001 too. The year 2000 was like 1999 part 2 basically, it was still a cultural late 90's year. 2001 as a whole could really be the first year of 2000's culture in general.

2004-2007? My prime years for music!? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Ew, Starbucks. All the cool kids are at your local coffee shop where they sell fair-trade coffee, especially Turkish coffee is all the rage these days. Once we have Turkish coffee in our hands, that's when we start complaining about everything. Also, what did you say? If you insulted Katy Perry or Justin Bieber then the SJW was justified imo.

Exactly. 1998-99, 1999-00, 2000-01 school years (Grades 1, 2 and 3)  felt the same to me. The N64 era! My mom dug out old photos the other day and I was still wearing flannel in 2001  ;D (yeah, I know it stopped being cool in '97, but I was wearing overalls then or bright yellow shorts)

The hipster transcending era would be amazing. They've technically been alive since the 1940s, but there's no reason they can't be the dominant force in the 2020s or 2030s either  ;)

Dancing aliens on dat Purple Drank are so much cooler.

But I've given it some thought. You are right about the slutty V-Necks as they are the superior form of t-shirt that attract all the women. I will ditch my worn-since-1995 clothing to embrace this new style and make all the girls knees weak (my wife will be sooo jealous!)

The guy in the second gif in the middle is dressed really awesome. I wish it was 2009-2012 so I could copy that again  ;D

Is this Purple Drank organic, gluten-free and cruelty-free? Can I find at the local farmer's market?

I'm all up for a Y2K trancending era. A world where things never evolved past the early 2000s. Things would still be Xtreme! and stuff. I can dream, but I know it may never come back (but then again....). Anyways I'd be surprised if I see hipsters in the 2020s or 2030s. Heck for all we know the Hipster culture could just evolve into another form instead of disappearing.

In the early '10s, people used to call things like thick framed glasses and pompadours "hipster". Now man buns, untrimmed beards and listening to music on your discman are hipster. The definition of hipster keeps evolving, so it's definitely a trend I think that can transcend decades.  ;D

If the tech was the same then that would be pretty crazy. We'd be in 2016 yet still using Windows 98 or 2000 because Microsoft got lazy and stopped making newer versions. People still using VHS and the DVD would be one of those things that would just wouldn't catch on with people. HD wouldn't be common as we'd all be using CRT TVs with a quality of 480i.  HA! Bright colored outfits, spiky hair, pukashell necklaces, backwards baseball caps, Nu metal, Xtreme! culture!

All the computers would be big and bulky and everyone would have dial-up and use AOL to chat with their crushes (and be interrupted by the answering of the phone!). Fred Durst clones everywhere stealing Pop Punk guys girlsfriends and making them write sad songs to preform on stage while they do New Found Glory jumps like 2000-2002. High Schools across the globe would be filled with Dell Dude after Dell Dude. You'd look at the yearbook and see "Woah, how many Dell Dudes are out there!?" while all the women would have those bob cuts or parted hair and wear baggy clothing. Hurley and Hilfiger for miles and miles!!!! All the hair would be bleach blonde, too and after a while your local town starts to look like the surface of the sun. Don't forget all the kids with backward fitted caps breaking their legs trying to imitate the mighty 900! Xtreme! 4ever!

I just hope the perfect vision decade is all about innovation and creative thought, unlike the sterilizing collectivism of the 2010s.  Hopefully, virtual reality will survive into something permanent this time unlike the past, when it was associated with eye strain and monochrome red.

Hurley and Hilfiger for miles and miles!!!! All the hair would be bleach blonde, too and after a while your local town starts to look like the surface of the sun. Don't forget all the kids with backward fitted caps breaking their legs trying to imitate the mighty 900! Xtreme! 4ever!


HA! What a crazy world that would be. But sadly all good things must come to an end. But hey at least Slowpoke is able to enjoy the 10's culture. Maybe you and I need to forget about the Y2K era and just become hipsters and start listening to some good ol' Justin Bieber. WHAT DO YA SAY, MATE?!  ;D ;) 8)

I say we grow some beards and get some man buns.  ;D

Is this no longer the cool thing to do, too? 2001McPokeman told me it was what the ladies like! Boy, the work I have to do to keep up the trends. Things were so much easier in the 90's... http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-rolleyes006.gif

Well, when I think of "picking it up" and "late 90's/early 00's" I think of when some of the Ska kids turned Emo:

Ah.... Those sure were the days...


Oh wow.  :o Time to get out the ska music.

Exactly. 1998-99, 1999-00, 2000-01 school years (Grades 1, 2 and 3)  felt the same to me. The N64 era! My mom dug out old photos the other day and I was still wearing flannel in 2001  ;D (yeah, I know it stopped being cool in '97, but I was wearing overalls then or bright yellow shorts)

The hipster transcending era would be amazing. They've technically been alive since the 1940s, but there's no reason they can't be the dominant force in the 2020s or 2030s either  ;)


The hipster of the 2010s, will probably stay in the 2010s. I know, making predictions of the future is not usually a good idea, but looking at the current era, I just don't seem much longevity.. From what I've seen, the 2010s style of hipster is basically like the modern equivalent of grunge. As for the hipster mentality, that'll probably never go away.

Hey things can change before you know it. Now get out that smartphone and be prepared to put 60% of your life into it!

I feel like beards' reputations have been destroyed by the stereotype of weak, effeminate men.

So it's one of them "Extremely 10's" fads that won't really survive in any other decade? I wonder what'll be next after the hipster culture dies.  :-\\

Nu-males? Welp! Oh wow didn't think unmanly men would be a big thing nowadays. It's funny how a lot of them look very much alike. I don't think I've heard much on Nu-males. Wonder when they started getting big.

It's not what they call themselves, it's a catch-all insult that others use towards them.

Yo, I herd from a reliable source dey get dah green n drive Prius carz. Prius iz an expensive car playa so I think I am makin da rite decision in lyfe by grippin' n sippin'.


Oh wow.  :o Time to get out the ska music.


Hahaha, man, it was hilarious. Ska was still pretty big during 1998-2002 but when some of the Ska kids started wearing those awful bowl cuts and sweater vests while listening to The Get up Kids and Dashboard Confessional... Oh man, what a barrel of laughs.


Hey things can change before you know it. Now get out that smartphone and be prepared to put 60% of your life into it!


How hipster am I if I put 75%? Oh, and does Vicks come into play at all or did I waste my money buying all these tubs for the V-Neck?

I read that as "Nu Metal" and thought "what the hell, this isn't Nu Metal!"

In the early '10s, people used to call things like thick framed glasses and pompadours "hipster". Now man buns, untrimmed beards and listening to music on your discman are hipster. The definition of hipster keeps evolving, so it's definitely a trend I think that can transcend decades.  ;D


Most of the guys I see dressing like that are also huge Apple fanboys, so they're more likely to listen to music on their iPhone. I love CDs, but I don't dress like a hipster  :P

Anyway, as for it evolving, I don't think it'll happen Like I said, hipster basically the modern day equivalent to grunge. If it does, it'll be completely different from the hipster of the 2010s.

The 2010's make me nostalgic for both Gunge and Post-Grunge despite me hating both (except Nirvana. They rule).

I, too, listen to music on my discman.

Back to the Future 2 fashion  :D

Who knows?

Hahaha, man, it was hilarious. Ska was still pretty big during 1998-2002 but when some of the Ska kids started wearing those awful bowl cuts and sweater vests while listening to The Get up Kids and Dashboard Confessional... Oh man, what a barrel of laughs. So many reasons that end the 1998-2002 era. It's like people just got sick of it all and just wanted to do something else. Which in turn probably got us into the culture of the core '00s and stuff.


How hipster am I if I put 75%? Oh, and does Vicks come into play at all or did I waste my money buying all these tubs for the V-Neck?
Too hipster. You'll fit right in with the modern day crowd.  ;D And yes keep the V-necks. You could never go wrong with a V-neck.


I read that as "Nu Metal" and thought "what the hell, this isn't Nu Metal!"


Whatchu talkin about, Jordan! The effeminate males in that picture just scream Nu Metal! Can't ya see it?  >:(

Back to the Future 2 fashion  :D

Who knows?


ALL YEAH!  :D Kind of interested in seeing the new fashion. Just hope it isn't a fashion style that'll make me cringe when looking back on it. Kind of like when older people see their old high school photos from the 70s or 80s. ;)

For sure, though the Ska turning into Emo thing wasn't really an end of the Y2K era. More like a distinctly Y2K era thing. It's weird how when they were turning Emo, it was all about bowl cuts, thick glasses, sweater vests and acoustic guitars. 2004 hits and they're wearing dyed black bangs, tight pants and eyeliner! "You guys call this Emo? How? Hmmph! Poseurs!" The reaction of a lot of 90's-early 00's Emo kids everywhere in 2004. It sucks it had to end 'cause I never got sick of it! :(

Oh, perfect! I am going to incorporate women's sweaters and scene hair into my look, too. Like ~A Special Snowflake . My slutty V-Necks have more Vicks smeared on than anyone else in this Starbucks.

Ooooohhh yeeeeaaaahhh! Now I see it!

No offense but I feel like punching the two lower guys in the face. :(

Me too. They make Nu Metal look like some golden age of Rock.

Cause she is watchin' wrestling
Creamin' over tough guys
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in her eyes
It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.
She's the girl all the bad guys want!

"Nu Males" are probably more into pop music than Nu Metal, I would think.

Nu males and nu metal are unrelated other than both of them having the word "nu" and the letter "m" in them.

You sure? They look like they listen to a lot of KoRn and Papa Roach if you ask me.

They should come up with Nu things than to rip off things from the past like use of the word Nu.

"Nu-males" were born around 1993-1997 (i.e. college-aged, SJW types). As I mentioned before, people will tend to gravitate towards music that was popular in their teens/early 20s, and - correct me if I'm wrong and need to brush up on my music history ;D - nu-metal was more of a 90s thing than an 00s-10s thing.

You 100% sure? It seems like Nu Metal would be the perfect choice of music for these young men. Yes, it's not a 00's to 10's thing at all. Nu Metal was a 1998 (arguably 1994-1996, too) to 2003 thing. You know what era that is! ;)

I'm kidding, man. :P It's the whole misreading "Nu Males" as Nu Metal thing. Unfortunately, most people don't care about the Y2K era or the real (not that obvious grunged out thing) parts  of the 90's anymore. :-\\

Haha, that's too true. "nirvana was my life! 90s kid rox!" My brother was super into that whole thing. Nirvana, Soundgarden (8-P), Pearl Jam (8-P), Mudhoney (8-P). Of course, he was born in 1977 so those bands are his era, not kids who were blowing spit bubbles at their mommies.

I'd say people like you (born in the early 80s) are kind of on the cusp. Maybe you snuck out at night in 1994 at the age of 12 to see Nirvana's farewell concert, and maybe you listened to their music, but the experience and lyrical content probably wouldn't have affected you as profoundly as earlier Gen X-ers.

Yeah, I can see that. I've never liked Grunge aside from Nirvana (I don't consider them all that Grunge anyway). Not even as a kid was I really into it. The grungly flannel thing? Flannel's cool if used as a Punk or Metal thing and all but the rest of the aesthetic is definitely not for me! I was influenced by later X bands like Green Day and The Offspring who I saw in concert during the Dookie/Smash eras (first concerts). That experience and those lyrics had a super deep affect on me, more so than Pearl Jam and their gargles ever could.

Wonder if anyone is a Dota player around here. This is an old Dota song Youtube video from 2006.

By the way, I've read about Brianna Wu before. Her life is such a damn mess.

LOL the 2010s are going to look so cheesey to them. Imagine people in the future seeing manbuns or guys wearing floral  ;D


Now that would be a sight to see.
