The late 00's are about to become 10 years old soon, but let's talk about all the great things that we had back then!

The economy crashed, games were invaded by DLC and microtransactions, social media got big, iPhones came out and stifled social interaction (yes I know they didn't really get popular until 2010, but still, in 2007 you could see the "germs" of the future forming when it was released), Tumblr was founded, and AutoTune began getting big in music.

In some ways, the late 00s were the beginning of the end.

It should be Late 2006-early 2009... come on bro. ::) ;)

Eh. To me, it didn't really feel like the late 00s had fully "formed" themselves until mid-late 2007.

And all of 2009 is the late 00s.

Eh. To me, it didn't really feel like the late 00s had fully "formed" themselves until mid-late 2007.

Maybe my age is playing a factor. But fall of 2006 I already felt that way. Things just felt brand new to me.

The fact that late '00s nostalgia probably will become a thing over the next few years is genuinely scary to me. Time is passing too quickly! :o

Yeah... hard to believe it's been a decade since the era begun! :D :o

Personally, I've been feeling like 2007 to mid 2009 was beyond dated. Late 2009 was basically the start of the early 2010s, especially towards pop culture.

To me, I feel like its form didn't start until very late 2006/early 2007 at least. Even at the time, it went progressive throughout the decade. Late 2007 was when the late 2000s peaked everywhere.

The late 00's was politically very interesting.

Yea kinda like right now. :o ;D

It was more positive though.  :-X

The late 00's was politically very interesting.


The late 2000s were rather fascinating as a whole, culturally and politically. It was the golden age of Youtube, the start of the prime smartphone era, and also when social media had its way on manipulating people.


Yea kinda like right now. :o ;D


2007-2009 were like the opposite to 2016. You didn't have insane riots, countless BLM protests, nor did people freak out over every single thing possible.

Oh, I know! I still can't believe it either. The late 00s still seem recent in a way, but in reality they were actually about 10 years ago :o

2007 seems like the only one which is 10 years old. 2008 and 2009 are almost 10, though.

Right, but I still can't believe how much time has passed since that period. Shoot, I even have friends who have their HS reunions in less than 3 years :o. It's crazy! It really doesn't seem like they graduated that long ago.

It scares me to think that 2007 is almost ten years ago. To think, at this exact moment ten years ago, I was right in the peak of my core childhood. It feels as if several years have passed since I was 7/8 years old, but in retrospect, it really doesn't feel as though it was almost ten years ago.

My 5th reunion is not long from now... :o :o :o :D

It was a very dark era for me, but being an optimistic person by nature, there were moments I found happiness and hope, and I look back fondly at those moments, which is more than I can say for the mid-2000s lol.

Plus, they were my high school years :D It was the peak of J-rock (or at least my obsession with it) and my favourite system of all time, the Nintendo DS was pumping out GOTYs like every two weeks. What better way to represent this than a gameplay footage from the 2007 DS rhythm game Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!

The same way I felt about the early 2010s.

Wait, you have 5th year HS reunions like Infinity?

Yep, I'm shocked you don't... ???

Is that common in your school district? Mines are  every 10 years unless we have a 15th reunion.

Honestly I don't have much nostalgia for the late 00s. not only was the economy bad, I was in junior high and constantly getting bullied for being different, it was just not a fun time for me.
I do miss the emo and scene culture though, I hope that makes a comeback, I have a feeling it will once this whole lumbersexual fad dies out.

It should be Late 2006-early 2009... come on bro. ::) ;)

Eazy we are going by numeric years when describing eras. We've been doing that for a long time (especially on thread titles). For me the late 2000s are only parts of 2008 and 2009, but in realty the late 2000s are 2007 - 2009 by basic math.

I can't believe 2007 was 10 years ago! The late 00s was a very changeful period and brought a lot of changes to technology and culture. I am very nostalgic for this period for my personal life, less nostalgic for the culture but there were a couple stuff I am fond of especially from 2007. I think those who are in their teens right now are probably very nostalgic for the late 00s.

Isn't this the era of the PS3?  ???

You had four high school reunions? I guess your high school really liked the older students, even if they graduated already.

Well, the PS3 was released in late 2006, while it did took popularity by the late 2000s. So yeah.

I'm rather more nostalgic for my personal life, as I discovered YouTube at the time and my personal YT experience was more fascinating than watching TV, imo.

Holy sheesh, I thought Red Dead Redemption had only come out a couple years ago!? :o Like I said in the 2007 thread, I love the 00s, especially the mid-late because I was in my teens. I would love to have the whole lot back, it wouldn't feel right being a teenager in this era, in a lot of ways things have slown down and stayed more or less as they were 10 years ago.

Well all of these games came from the late 2000s, which was when the PS3 started to be a prime 7th gen console. Although, the PS2 still got attention with sales, despite not getting a lot of production.

EDIT: I... didn't do a lot of research throughout the PS3's productivity.

Well, the PS3 was released in late 2006, while it did took popularity by the late 2000s. So yeah.

Wrong! PS3 didn't start to become popular until the early 2010s. It was struggling in the late 2000s...

Epic fail.. The last 3 games were from the early 2010s... ;D
Only GTA 4 was released  in the late 2000s, and it was more popular upon the XBOX 360.

Well, it's not like I actually paid attention to the PS3 during the late 2000s. I only cared for the Nintendo Wii at the time. The Xbox 360 was something that I would've had, but I didn't got it until the early 2010s.

It's not like I ever owned a Playstation console, aside from a PSP. Even with that, I never seem to own a lot of games for the PSP.

How many times do I have to tell you people.....  ::)

Wii = LATE 2000's ONLY

PS3 = EARLY 2010's ONLY

XBOX 360 = LATE 2000's AND EARLY 2010's

The XBOX 360 was the only 7th generation console that stayed popular throughout almost its entire course. The Wii may had still made games in the early 2010's, but it was only popular throughout the late 2000's. The PS3 may had started making games in the late 2000's, but its peak and height in popularity was still the early 2010's!

LOL yeah I was thinking RDR came out in the early '10s and I explicitly remember trolling GoW fans after E3 2012 saying it was what Time Crisis is to the FPS genre ;D

I think a lot of people would've known that, since the 7th generation wasn't that successful. Even with that, the Wii and PS3 weren't considered as great as something like the DS.

The Ace Attorney series was more like a meme in North America, while Japan took it well ever since the early 2000s (when the first games was released on Game Boy Advance).

The game was popular 2006-2008 in the West, since the games came out for the DS. It's still pretty popular with my friends my age, but I don't think teens nowadays care about it.

Alright, marquis, eric, NYEagle, let's stop arguing about era division and put out some late 2000s nostalgia!

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/70/Ironmanposter.JPG

This is one of my favorite late 2000s movies. In my eyes, it feels fresher and more interesting than the later movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which tend to feel like copies of one another.

We were talking about the PS3 and how it didn't have any games, except for GTA IV, during the late 2000s. Marquis was the one who brought up the 7th generation stuff, and saying that the Xbox 360 was popular in the late 2000s AND early 2010s. I just didn't really care, since I was a Wii kid back in the late 2000s/early 2010s. Considering that the 7th gen was the only time I played video games, I just had to defend it. It was me against two people who grew up with the 5th and 6th generations (somehow).

As for Iron Man, I did remember seeing it being popular around the late 2000s. So much so, that I remember watching Iron Man Armored Adventures on Nicktoons in 2009. Which was the only superhero show that I watched regularly growing up.

They look dated, but the only ones I find truly nostalgic were Windows Vista and old YouTube.

I'm going to throw out the Transformers movie. I don't exactly like it, but I'm still pretty much nostalgic for it. The Iron Man movie on the other hand, I had no idea of until the Late 2000s were over. Like I seen no commercial or anything. What the s**

Same here. I known about Iron Man with the late 2000s cartoon airing on Nicktoons.

I think it was geared towards die-hard superhero fans, which is what fueled the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.

I think those who are in their teens right now are probably very nostalgic for the late 00s.


I'm not really nostalgic about most of the culture from 2008 or 2009, however. 2007 was the last full year I watched cartoons and I remember really starting to dislike popular music in 2008. Personally, it's not so much the popular culture which I am nostalgic about. I'm actually more nostalgic for personal memories I have of the Late 2000s, rather than the TV shows, movies etc. which were released at the time. If we're strictly speaking about being nostalgic of popular culture, i'm actually more nostalgic of Mid 2000s popular culture.

I can't believe 2007 was 10 years ago! The late 00s was a very changeful period and brought a lot of changes to technology and culture. I am very nostalgic for this period for my personal life, less nostalgic for the culture but there were a couple stuff I am fond of especially from 2007. I think those who are in their teens right now are probably very nostalgic for the late 00s.


I admit, even though it doesn't feel that long ago to me, I am starting to become more and more nostalgic for the late '00s. I was in college for most of that time (up until 2009), and my life was certainly more carefree at the time than it is today. Like you, it's not so much the pop culture of the late '00s that I'm becoming nostalgic for as much as it is my own experiences from that time.

I usually liked the experience of golden age Youtube during the late 2000s. It was unique towardd the Internet where it was more interesting than aggravating.

I remember the iron man movie in the late 00s. I didn't watch it though.

Well, if you're a superhero fan I think you should check it out.

I like it better than Marvel's post-Avengers movies, which all tend to feel like clones of The Avengers.

All superhero movies seem to have a big deal towards crossovers after The Avengers was made. Batman vs. Superman, Suicide Squad, and Captain America: Civil War seem to be huge examples on that.

When I was your age (in 2012) I was very nostalgic for the mid 2000s which 7 - 9 years ago just like the late 00s are today. I do see some teens on YouTube saying they miss songs from the late 00s but I guess the late 00s culture was so crappy that many teens these days aren't nostalgic for it.  :P

I think I said this before, but the early and mid 2000s seem more legit than the late 2000s. It already gave out a vibrant atmosphere for the decade, while the late 2000s was like a mixed bag. To some, it was great. To others, it was mediocre. It wasn't the best, but it beats the mid 2010s.

You're not wrong! Considering the fact that the Late 2000s were dominated by Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Rhianna, it's hard not to understand why the culture of the time was so crappy. :P

I think the nostalgia many teens have for the Late 2000s, is simply due to how young they were in the Mid 2000s and the Late 2000s being the first time period where they can vividly remember things. It's hard to believe, but people who are turning 13 this year were only born in 2004! Their first vivid memories more than likely would have occurred in 2008, so it would be the first year where they would truly feel nostalgic over some things. I know I personally feel that way about 2003, when I was 4 years old.

Personally, I have never really been able to identify solely with the one era. I don't know if you feel the same way or not (since your core childhood was in the Early and Mid 2000s), but I feel as though I was a child of both the Mid 2000s and the Late 2000s, so I feel really nostalgic for both time periods.

I started feeling full-on nostalgic for ages 3/4-8 (1996-2001) childhood around 2010 when the whole '90s kid fad started. I was your age then, 17. I think we're following a similar trajectory! But ages 8-11 (late 2001-early 2004) I didn't get super nostalgic for until a year or two ago (2014/2015) when I was 22.

Late 2004 onwards I still kind of don't care for. By nostalgic I mean, seeing or hearing something from then makes me wish I was back there. Nothing after 2004 does that for me yet ;D

I love the late 2000s. Not as nostalgic as mid 00s or even early 00s yet besides maybe 07, but I'll probably be extremely nostalgic for them in around five years.

I think the nostalgia many teens have for the Late 2000s, is simply due to how young they were in the Mid 2000s and the Late 2000s being the first time period where they can vividly remember things.


To me, I feel the same about the early 2000s. I was only a toddler within the era though, despite that it seeked in through the mid 2000s. Which is why I mostly see the early and mid 2000s as a singular era.

I mostly feel the same way as well. 2003 is the only Early 2000s year that I do feel nostalgic for, to be honest. Just out of curiosity, would 2004 be the first year that you would truly feel nostalgic of? The reason why I ask, is because I understand that you would have turned four in December 2003, so you still would have only been three years old for the majority of 2003. I can relate, because I personally don't feel nostalgic for 2002, when I was only three years old.

Personally, I am nostalgic for 2003, since it was around the time when I watched Nick Jr and Disney for the first time. It was also the year when I started to use the Internet. It holds in more nostalgia for me than 2002, since I could only remember a few things. Although I'm mostly nostalgic for my childhood in 2004-2009.

2002: first year that I remember
2003: transitional year from toddler years to childhood
2004-2009: core childhood (imo)
2010-2011: transitional years from core childhood to pre adolescence

That's how it is for me.

The economy crashed, games were invaded by DLC and microtransactions, social media got big, iPhones came out and stifled social interaction (yes I know they didn't really get popular until 2010, but still, in 2007 you could see the "germs" of the future forming when it was released), Tumblr was founded, and AutoTune began getting big in music.

In some ways, the late 00s were the beginning of the end.

You must've been on the PS3 or PC because I owned the other two 7th gen consoles and never have been bombarded with the need for DLC(which has been around for 20 years) or microtransactions(only on PC at the time). I never even had Internet connection for my 360 for 2 since I got it around launch, and never had a broken/incomplete game. The Wii is self explanatory.

Just because a technology starts in one era doesn't mean it has any bearing on that culture until it actually becomes popular. The iPhone as you said was never hit until 2010 when the 4 came out and refined the features. The Blackberry was more of a phenomenon.

Social Media of the late 00's was: MySpace, early YouTube, and in some ways early Facebook. At the time, you would've had to have become a recluse to become glued to social media since the only platform it was widely accessible on was the computer.

The Wii may had still made games in the early 2010's, but it was only popular throughout the late 2000's.

I loved the Wii, but considering it was a repackaged gamecube with motion controls, it's not hard to understand why it died with the PS2 around 2011. The Wii and PS2 were basically direct competitors.

The Wii was more than a Gamecube. It had larger game discs, a really cool menu, and an interesting library. The Gamecube was only attractive for the library of games, along with the Game Boy Player. That was just it. Sure, the older Wii consoles had backwards compatibility with the Gamecube, but that's what made it better than the Family Edition (which I utterly despise).

I was referring mainly to the hardware. Many analysts referred to the Wii's capabilities as a GCN 1.5 and it got a lot of multiplats with the PS2/PSP. While the HD twins were gradually heading in the gritty shooter direction, the Wii stuck with the PS2 model of bright platformers and puzzle games, which was to its benefit imo.

Software wise, it was the best from any Nintendo console, since it was entertaining for anybody who enjoyed it.

I'm going to throw out the Transformers movie. I don't exactly like it, but I'm still pretty much nostalgic for it. The Iron Man movie on the other hand, I had no idea of until the Late 2000s were over. Like I seen no commercial or anything. What the s**


Don't throw it out, maybe someone else might have use for the film.

That's the #1 thing that people see whenever they think of 2009.

2008: I turned 12 and snapped out of the toddler show phase. I also outgrew my long lasting crush on Swayzak the virus, and began liking shows such as Star Wars the Clone Wars and anything on Food Network. I was a bit sad when I read Toonami was cancelled, but hey, I hated the crap out of the creepy CGI things that ran it. (Bring back TOM!)
2009: I turned 13 and started playing Club Penguin for a short period of time, but I shut down my account after that because I thought it was too kiddy. I also discovered the McRoll on YouTube, which is still one of my favorite videos.

I liked Food Network the best during the early to mid 2000's when I watched it with my mom. There were more shows about teaching you how to cook great dishes & restaurant tours back then and less reality food shows unlike today. Emeril Live was the prime show of Food Network. I also liked Good Eats, Unwrapped, and Rachael Ray's $40 a Day. I remember when the original Iron Chef was rerunning on Food Network before Iron Chef America premiered. Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is one of the only true Food Network shows left on there from what I can think of.

I remember being obsessed with some PBS Kids show until I was about 10. One of them was Peep and the Big Wide World, which I first heard about on Discovery Kids. I loved watching it when I was a little kid, but I still loved it up until 6th grade (I think).

I liked Barney until I was 10. However, I watched Sesame Street, Arthur, Zoom, Cyberchase, Fetch, Martha Speaks, Between the Lions, The Saddle Club, and the occasional Super Why until I was 12.

Fetch and Arthur were the last shows I watched on PBS Kids before I stopped watching it in 2007. Super Why on the other hand was a bit weird when I saw it. I only saw it occasionally between shows.

The Saddle Club was shown in the US? That's really interesting to hear! In the Late 2000s, it used to be shown here at 3.30pm every weekday afternoon, but I used to always change the channel whenever it came on. :P

I used to enjoy watching Sesame Street and Arthur when I was a toddler/young child. I stopped watching Sesame Street when I was 5, but I continued to watch Arthur until I was almost 9.

2007 and 2009 were amazing years in gaming. 10 years later and I'm still shook.

Technically late 00s nostalgia should already be here because 2007 was 10 years ago. 2007 feels like a long time ago to me now, like another world, but for some reason 2008 feels much more recent.

Oh I am still saying the cultural late 00s/early 10s (late 00s and early 10s are the same era for me) are 2008 and 2009 and 2007 is still part of mid 00s. But I'll use the numerical system for the sake of simplicity.  :P

Yeah, 2007 seemed like the mid 2000s (for the most part). I usually take it more as a relation with 2005 and 2006.

Yup, on WLIW.

I probably heard of Saddle Club before, but I never watched WLIW. But it wouldn't be one of my favorite PBS Kids shows if I did watch it.

I'll be honest, I'm already nostalgic for a lot of late 2000's music which most people tend to hate. A lot of video games too, and some 2007 movies are getting that way for me.

The late 2000's I'd consider the peak of my childhood (turned 8 in January 2007 and was almost 11 in December 2009) even though I'm not as nostalgic for them as I am for the mid 2000's at the moment.

I'm mostly nostalgic for stuff that I watched during the mid 2000s, but I occasionally do look at stuff from 2008 and early 2009. My main nostalgia phase right now is late 2004-2007.

My nostalgia for 07 just triggered. I'm definitely nostalgic for the Hip Hop released then, the Chipmunks movie and Spiderman 3, the Chipmunks movie especially, I associate with that year. I remember watching the DVD with my niece at my sister's in Houston Texas for Christmas of 2007. They also had song remixs all over YouTube my best friend was hooked to. Haha

I'm not even a Sony fanboy, and these games look badass.

Don't forget Saints Row 2. Click the purple logo in my signature for more info about the game. It was released in response to GTA IV.

Yeah... that post was from a time where I was humiliated by mqg96 and Eazy-EMan1995 due to the fact that I posted early 2010s games on the PS3. I'm not even sure if Saints Row 2 was even popular on the PS3 though. But considering that I was only 7-10 during the late 2000s, while Eazy-EMan (or Eric) and Marquis (mqg96) were 10-13/14 at the time, I didn't really have a lot of video game knowledge. Especially if it was on the PS3 and Xbox 360, since I was obsessed with anything related to Nintendo. But now that I think about it, I kinda considered myself too young to even know about GTA during the late 2000s. Even though I watched sh*t like Family Guy and South Park, it wasn't as graphic as GTA IV of all things.  :-[

Saints Row 2 faded into obscurity soon after Saints Row 3 was released - the new game, although it had far fewer features, just had better graphics and smoother gameplay, and probably a more universal appeal due to added craziness. On the PC version, Saints Row 3 and newer are the only games that NVIDIA makes optimisation updates to, so not only will Saints Row 2 be more obscure because of non-native compatibility with the newer consoles, but it'll run even worse on PCs because of non-optimisation by the developers and any third parties.

On to the video games of the Late 2000s, I feel Pokémon Diamond and Pear need mentioning. My best friend had Diamond, gave it to me and I got hooked to it. That game carries really pleasant memories for me. I even still have the copy with Pokémon I used the Action Replay Max to get, which is another 2000s thing. You really don't hear about those anymore. Haha

I remember seeing a Pokemon Diamond and Pearl commercial in the year it was released in North America (2007). I immediately ignored it because I thought it was dumb, even though I did enjoyed watching the Pokemon anime. I regret getting a copy of Pokemon Diamond, since I seemed old enough to play the games. I even had a friend who loved Pokemon so much, that he got some of the Generation 4 toys. Nowadays, Pokemon has evolved way too hard on me, where it just seems a bit rough for me. Also, I wished I got an Action Replay card for my DS in the late 2000s, since I kinda sucked on playing some of the games I owned.

The legendary HipHop album that could've been :\'(

I was born in 2002 and when I hear songs from 2006-2011 I usually get nostalgia

.. I actually thought Pokémon Diamond and Pearl was your type of game. Diamond and Pearl is right before Pokémon went to ruins. I even recall you agreeing with that statement.

Wait, did you suck at games to where you generally needed a Action Replay Max? Their main purpose was to help you unlock CPU only characters and, Pokémon.

Wow you're the youngest person on this forum I think. It will be interesting hearing your perspective on things. You're the first late 2000s kid on here. You must be very nostalgic for the late 2000s now.  ;D

Well, not really. In games like New. Super Mario Bros, I could definitely go up to World 7. But yeah, I never really got a physical copy of Pokemon D&P at all.

I'm very nostalgic for the late 2000's lol. I remember I kept listening to Kanye West's "Love Lockdown" song on my iPod Nano and he was the first rapper I remember hearing lol. I also remember hearing the song "American Boy" by Estelle and for some reason that is one of the most nostalgic songs that makes me miss 2008. I remember YouTube at its golden age in the late 2000's. I remember looking up tutorials on how to hack Club Penguin back in 2009 lol. I never made a YouTube acc tho. I get nostalgia when I hear the soundtrack "Trance - 009 Sound System Dreamscape" it was that one soundtrack that everyone had in their tutorials back in 2009 XD. On my 6th birthday, I received a birthday present from my teacher and it was this ballerina picture frame. I loved it but I can't find it anymore lol. My 7th birthday I went bowling and I remember when the song "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga was playing. That song was everywhere lol

Nice haha you're even making me a little nostalgic. Though I was about the age you are now in the late 2000s, I have some pretty good memories from that time.

I can't believe Fall Out Boy's Infinity On High album is over a decade old. That was one of the biggest albums when I was in high school, and the sound still feels so modern.

Another infamous anniversary that's coming up is Soulja Boy's Crank That. That's when the 2000s music hit rock bottom. Thankfully it got better from there ;D

'99ers are equally split between the Mid and Late 2000s, because we spent our core childhoods between 2004-2009. So we are Mid-Late 2000's hybrid kids. 00'ers also spent a good chunk of their core childhood in the Mid 2000s, however they lean more towards the Late 2000's, since they were 7-9 during those years. But you're not wrong though. :P

The earliest year I can remember is 2005, but only vaguely. In 2006, my memories became more clear. In 2007, I felt like my childhood truly started, which is why I consider it the first core childhood year.

The earliest year I remember is 1997 very vaguely. If we are talking about real memories of pop culture though, 1999 for that.

When I listen to music before 2006 I do remember some of them but I don't get nostalgia. But when I listen to songs from 2006 I tend to be familiar with a lot of them and I actually get nostalgia. Like the song Crazy by Gnarls Barkley is probably the most nostalgic song from 2006.

I think I should rephrase what I said. I heard songs that were made before 2006 but they don't bring back memories. That's usually when I listen to songs made from 2006-2011

I can remember songs from 2002.....

So you pretty much remember songs from my birth year lol

For me, some of the biggest songs I have memories from 1999 are Hit Me Baby One More Time by Britney Spears, Believe by Cher, Boom Boom by Vengaboys, and The Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang (my older brother watched that video a lot back then). Baby one more time was everywhere, I remember constantly heard it at parties, radio, and family/friends dinners and gatherings in the background. My older sister listened to that song lot as well. She had Britney Spears' debut CD and the little cassette tape edition as well.  ;D

Yup :)

For me, 2002 is the first year where I can actually remember when certain songs were brand new and popular. I can remember when songs such as "Rock Your Body", "A Little Less Conversation", "Sk8ter Boi", "No One Knows" and "Hot In Here" were still new, although I might actually be remembering them from 2003.

Yeah for me I can't really recall any pop culture or songs before I was 4 (1999) unless it was nursery rhymes or kids songs haha. I may have heard of them but don't really remember it unless I heard it later on. But everyone's memories are different and some have better memories than others.

2002 is the first year that when I hear music from that year it actually makes me nostalgic/brings back memories. Whereas songs from 2000 and 2001 I don't remember hearing them at the time and I can't really get nostalgic for those songs obviously given that I was just a baby then.

For me, some of the biggest songs I have memories from 1999 are Hit Me Baby One More Time by Britney Spears, Believe by Cher, Boom Boom by Vengaboys, and The Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang (my older brother watched that video a lot back then). Baby one more time was everywhere, I remember constantly heard it at parties, radio, and family/friends dinners and gatherings in the background. My older sister listened to that song lot as well. She had Britney Spears' debut CD and the little cassette tape edition as well.  ;D

I remember back in 2006 I always heard the song Temperature by Sean Paul and Get Up by Ciara ;D

The earliest year that I have memories from is 2001. However, 2002 is the first year where I was kind of aware of what was going on in pop culture. I can remember an OK amount of songs from 2002. When it comes to 2001, it's hit or miss.

BTW (on topic point), I definitely have nostalgia for the late '00s 8).

Same here. I was 7 back then...great year IMO 8).

I'm sure movies and TV was good in the late 00's, but mainstream music was just God-awful!  8-P  8-P  8-P

The late 00's is the nadir of the quality of music in my eyes.  :P

Me too. :P I think my memories of the songs I mentioned earlier are from 2003, rather than 2002. The songs I mentioned were still popular in 2003 though, so that may explain it.

I miss 2006, even though I was only four back then. I remember hearing songs from that year on the radio when my mom would drive me to my cousin's house to have a playdate (she was my age) her parents divorced and the last time I saw or talked to her was sometime in 2008, almost a decade ago.

The late 2000s were a very special time for me in my personal life, especially 2007. I don't think my life will ever be as good as it was back then. I started Junior High school that time and made so many friends and just overall felt so happy at that time. It has such a dreamy vibe to it when I look back just because my personal life was so great back then. I'm not sure why but everything was going so good in my life from ages 12 - 14, and afterwards it never was the same again. 2010 is when things got worse for me and that's the same year I started high school in grade 10. So the late 2000s will always have a special place in my heart, even though I didn't like or care for the pop culture at the time.

That would be my attitude towards 1997-2001 and the first few months of 2002.

I didn't like most of 2006-2008 in music, but 2009 was one of the best. Although for you I'm sure it's the opposite, since I remember you ranking the years, and the 2000s just kept getting worse for you in terms of music as they dragged on. ;D

Oddly enough I've been having some nostalgia from the late 2000s lately. I reminisce of my junior high school days. Even the pop culture is admittedly starting to feel quite removed from today. I feel like more and more people will get nostalgia for the late '00s fairly soon and I think mid 2000s nostalgia will be glossed over or parts of it will be combined with the early 2000s and other parts with late. When I look back on Disney commercials from 2007 - 2009 I have some nostalgia. That whole era is starting to look very dated.

I remember hearing that song when I was 5. I didn't like it and surprisingly I still don't like it to this day xD

Thankfully he was a one-hit wonder like Silento. Real rappers like Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco went on to define music for that era. 2007 was such an amazing year for HipHop.

A one hit wonder? Not even! In fact, Soulja Boy had a few more known hits after his famous song. OTT, I agree that year was great for hip-hop and so was the rest of the era. Some people forget there was just as much non-snap hip-hop during that time.

I'm closest thing to a "hit" he had after Crank dat was pretty boy swag. And that was only because it popularized the word "Swag" not because the song itself was that popular.

What about turn my swag on and kiss me though the phone?

I loved the Hip House resurgence that happened in the late 00s. The last era before the "EDM Movement" began which effected the scene of Electronic music.

What and what?

Are you telling me you don't remember those two songs?

Kiss me thru the phone perhaps on youtube, but I had to go out of my way to find it. The other one I literally have never heard before.

I always simply lumped that genre in with electropop.  I didn't realize it was a standalone genre.  Yeah, I do miss those songs.  A lot of songs by Pitbull as well as Akon at the time were "hip house" songs.

I agree here.  2009 was the best year for music probably since at least 2000 or 2001.  It was the first of three of the best years for music I ever experienced.

2006-2008 weren't terrible for music but there also wasn't much exciting happening.  One of the things I remember that era for was the transformation of hip-hop.  We went from crunk in 2005 to ringtone/snap rap in 2006-07 and then synth trap took over completely in 2008.

I know! It seems like Soulja Boy songs wasn't played as much in Canada compared to here.

This is my favorite Pepsi commercial. It came out in 2009, I kind have nostalgia looking back at it. This was when the new flat design aesthetic started taking off and Pepsi changed their logo around that time too.

Looking at these lists, what are the last movies you guys would say have a solid "mid 2000s" vibe? Which one would you say kicked off the late 2000s movie vibe?

Really? When? Because they don't show up on the Canadian hot 100 list, nor does anyone I know l recognize any of his other songs.

There was that phone song that was a really popular ringtone.

Hell yes. Thank you for making this thread! I was born in the year 2002 so I'm definitely a late 2000s kid!

I remember when "Soulja Boy" was a BIG hit. I was weirdly addicted to that song back in 2007. I can recall watching the Obama Election in 2008. But I was too young to fully understand what was going on. I remember playing the Wii with my family and cousins who were 5-9 years old at the time. I remember the golden days of YouTube when unregistered hypercam 2 and 5 star rating was relevant. Ah, the 2000's were a time to be alive.

Hey there! Thank you for welcoming me. I have a good collection of memories from the late 2000's although I wish I experienced the whole decade. I was lucky enough to experience the second half  :)

Late 2000s to you are what the early 2000s are to me. The late 2000s feels like yesterday to me.  ;D But yeah all those things you mentioned definitely does make it seem dated.

Yeah, but our childhoods were weird, considering that they were equally split between the Mid 2000s and Late 2000s. :P

Yeah that is true but my point still stands :P.

The hype for the Wii was real. I got one for my 14th birthday (February 2007), I was so psyched! I'd been hyped for it since it had the codename "Nintendo Revolution" (that's why some Wii games have the name "revolution" in them, like Pokémon Battle Revolution). They were constantly sold out at stores for a good year or two, I was lucky that I found one!

But that entire era feels like recent to me, like 2 or 3 years ago. I look at the list of video game releases of 2007, and I remember going to the store to buy them and playing them, or talking about them on forums like it was yesterday.  :-\\

I was born in the same year as you!! What month were you born?

I like to think that 1997 borns had the ultimate 2000's childhood.


We spent the first 2 years of our life in the 1990s, basically our very primitive early years, our infancy and toddler years.

Then we were turning 3 years old in 2000, when we are considered preschool-aged, and ending as 12-year-olds in 2009, basically the last year of life before you are considered a teenager.

Then we became teenagers in 2010, and we spent our entire, practically ultimate adolescence in the 2010s. We spent the first half in middle/high school and the rest in college, and theoretically would have finished a four year degree by 2019. We also spend the first two years of our young adulthood in our twenties at the end of the 2010s.

I still get to spend a majority of my twenties in the 2020s which is 7 years, and 8 months of it.

Usually the last two years of a decade make for a nice transition before moving on to the next shift.  ;D

I think that 1995 and 1996 borns have you guys slightly beat in terms of "ultimate '00s childhood".

However, you guys did get a bit more of the 2000s than us '98 and '99 borns.

We got to experience our childhood in the 2000s but also got to experience adolescence and young adulthood in the 2010s.  :D

So have people born in 1993-1999.

So have people born in 1993-1999.


We didn't become adolescents in the 2000s like those born in 1993-1996.

1997 was the first year of the Y2K era after the death of grunge, a 1990s defining culture.

Also, we might have been the first batch of people who cannot recall the events of September 11 since we were not yet in kindergarten until 2002.

We got to spend one full year in middle school during the 2008-2009 school year, which was the last full school year in the 2000s unlike those born in 1998 and 1999.

Those born in 1998 and 1999 still had about a year at least until they became teenagers in the 2010s. Though, I was technically a 12 year old for a majority of 2010.  8)

We are also scheduled if we went by the prescribed academic path to have graduated from middle school in 2011, graduated from high school in 2015, and from college in 2019.

I just thought it was a neat thing knowing that we had an ultimate 2000s childhood and ultimate 2010s adolescence.

Yeah, but we spent most of our time as kids in the 2000s, and started becoming teenagers in 2010. People born before 1997 became teenagers in the 2000s, and people born after 1997 still were kids after 2010. We also might have had memories from the 1990s too at 2 years old. I kind of doubt anyone born in 1998 would remember 1999.  :D

Yeah, but those born in 1995 and 1996 were at least 13 years old in the end of the 2000s.

I personally can't but they say the earliest a person can recall and start processing memories is from 2 years old when the person has started speaking so theoretically a person born in 1997 might vaguely remember the 1990s. My sister can still perfectly recall and bring up memories of being 2 when we went to San Francisco Bay in late 2002 for the first time because she was more mentally advanced than me, so it's possible. I suppose someone born in early 1998 might even remember late 1999 in that sense. I guess when we're that young being a few months older makes a big difference. There's no way a baby can keep memories since we are all subject to the phenomenon that is known as infant amnesia when we haven't attributed our language part of our brain with our long term memories, so it's underdeveloped usually when you're under 2 years old.

"Memories" from when you're 2 years old don't really count for much of anything because they are very vague and at most only 1 or 2 in number.

I have 2 vague memories from 2001 and they are my very earliest memories. They were getting a tricycle and watching Monsters Inc in theathers. However, they don't count for much because I don't remember anything else from 2001.

The 00's wasn't bad. Movies and TV were still great. Music, on the other hand.....

My point is that by 3 years old, we have finally become a young child. The earliest you can start registering a child in preschool is at 3 years old, when they are by then fully potty trained. So on that note, a 1997 born might have been able to attend preschool in the 2000-2001 school year, the first full 2000s school year. It's not rare and I was in preschool when I was 3 years old.


Also, a memory is a memory. At 3 years old, I think a person has started getting an understanding of themselves as individuals. When you're only 2, you're still just learning to form sentences but just starting to process and make sense of information. If you can create a memory, that means you were able to make sense out of something cognitively by then, as you were able to. Young toddlers and babies are kind of more impulsive and react and act on body reflex. An 30-month old though is a lot different from a 12-month old so it's disputable. In general, I would say by 3 years old, a person has become more individually aware of themselves and their surroundings. They won't be able to form memories as well as when they're older, but from there it's when it usually starts.


To break it down...


We spent our early childhood years (3-5) in the early 2000s (2000 - 2002)


We spent our middle childhood years (6-9) in the mid 2000s (2003 - 2006)

We spent our late childhood years or our tween years in the late 2000s (2007 - 2009)

Bruh, we're just going in circles. No one is denying your '00s childhood...give it a rest.

It was never about feeling that it was denied. I'm just saying we spent our time completely as children in the 2000s. We were 3-12. You're still a kid at 13 but you're a teenager, and under 3 is toddlerhood and infancy. Thus the term ultimate childhood lol.. you read it wrong.  :D

I was born in the same year as you!! What month were you born?

Late 2000s TV was some of the best.

Including The Apprentice.  :-X :-X :-X

There was that phone song that was a really popular ringtone.

It must have been a late teen niche song, because nobody I know seems to recognize it. It apparently did chart in 2008 but really far down the list.


The 00's wasn't bad. Movies and TV were still great. Music, on the other hand.....

:(  :(  :(  :(  :(

I feel sorry for you if you didn't jam to this when it came out.

I'll take any year of the 00s over the crap on the radio now.

Me too. That's why I identify myself as a 00s kid. So much better than today.

I'm not doubting that you are a 2000s kids, but no offence just liking music from the 2000s doesn't make you a kid of that decade becasue it's completely up to that person and that means anyone could claim to be a 2000s kid then, even someone born in 2009! :P. I prefer the 2010s for music, does that make me consider myself a 2000s kid? No. :)

It’s not only because the music was better, but it’s because I enjoyed my childhood more in the 00’s. Cartoons were more badass back then. I miss coming home from preschool to catch some episodes of Danny Phantom. Nowadays you have stupid sh!t like Breadwinners  :-X
