I've been noticing lately that the early 2000's are starting to get the same nostalgia treatment like the 90s did. When do you think the decade as a whole will be nostalgic, much like how the 90's are now? My guess would be that 2000's nostalgia will start to become much more popular than it is now by 2020, given that all 2000's kids will be adults by then and most will be reminiscing about their childhood. It might reach its peak somewhere around 2024 when the 2000's will be 24-15 years old.

Start around 2020. 

Start around 2020.

Yes, I think by the year 2020, the 2000's will start to gain more reputation, considering the last 2000's year would've been 11 years ago. Heck, I'm already seeing people with nostalgia for 2006 already.

Yup. But oddly, I've never seen people with nostalgia for the late 2000s.

Like, whenever there's a thread on Reddit or something about 2000s nostalgia, it's always exclusively things that debuted in 2000-2006; anything that debuted after that is not talked about.

Yup. The only 2000s years that I haven't seen nostalgia for (apart from young kids) is 2007/8 & 2009 :o

Maybe it's because the late 2000's still feels recent to some people, especially older folks. The latter portion of a decade usually takes longer to have nostalgia for than the early part.

Around 2023. Maybe even after that for the full effect. It will remain underground (on BuzzFeed, social media sites, etc.) until then. I don't think it will reach mainstream nostalgia until around 2023, and yes I am talking about the early 2000s here as well. A couple movie and show reboots doesn't count as mainstream nostalgia in my eyes. I don't even think 1990s nostalgia has peaked yet. Having said that, by 2020 the year 2000 will be retro. So people will start having some nostalgia for it.

Yes....obviously it's about the amount of time since that time and the current era.

Start around 2020.


I would say around that time, By that time they'll wind up having those VH1 specials.

2024, most likely if anything.

The first core 00's year (2004) will already be twenty years old, and I feel old even trying to type this post right here.

The earliest influences of 2000's nostalgia may come in as early as around 2019 or 2020, but it won't be too terribly much.

This topic is depressive.

TRL is mainstream lol  it is a 2000's staple
Raven's home is a 2000's staple

Did you miss my comment about show reboots not counting as mainstream nostalgia? The 2000s are not nostalgic for the general public yet and probably won't be for some time.

eww and I'm gonna be 20 years old then!!!  :\'( 8-P

eww and I'm gonna be 20 years old then!!!  :\'( 8-P

How is that "eww"?  ??? 20 is one of the best ages to be.

It technically already is, albeit the early part. I suspect the mid-late parts of the decade will become nostalgic, in a mainstream sense, by circa 2020.

90s nostalgia hit the mainstream around
2011 with Nick's 90s Are All That block. 80s nostalgia came into the mainstream around, I think, 2001/02 with Vh1's decade programs. I can see 00's nostalgia going mainstream around 2021/22.

eww and I'm gonna be 20 years old then!!!  :\'( 8-P


By that time? :o

How is that "eww"?  ??? 20 is one of the best ages to be.


Hey I was 20 once so he shouldn't feel so bad.

Yes. When it's 2020, I will turn 20.

Nope.  ;D

I'll be 30 by then. Gonna become an old fogy. :(

Yes. When it's 2020, I will turn 20.


I'm going to be 22 but 23 by September of that year. I just turned 20. So far it's not bad, but I get really intimidated because I suddenly feel like I have a lot of catching up to my peers to do.


It just seems like a drastic transition from being a teenager because you will be at a different age group, so you'll be aligned with your 28 and 29 year old counterparts instead of 13 and 14 year olds which make you feel a lot more older and "mature" in general.  :D

That's a huge difference.

I noticed this as well when I turned 20 two years ago. People take you a lot more seriously.

Yes. When it's 2020, I will turn 20.

I'll be 18 for the majority of that year, then I'll be 19 for the remaining 20 days. I'm a December baby.

I really hope they don't milk the '00s like they have the '90s during this decade.

and people call me "Sir" and Mister" and I'm in my 40's.

It will be there in a few years although it could happen earlier since early 00s nostalgia is already here.

It's slowly happening!

Despite 2000s nostalgia rising, it seems people are still reluctant to call themselves 00s kids. I saw this on my Facebook and it made cringe.

I know the 90s kid thing is stupid to gatekeep, but c'mon... being 0 on 9/11 doesn't make you the "ultimate in 90s nostalgia"! If anything, they'd be the Ultimate Generation of 2007-2011 nostalgia. Chowder, Flapjack, Bakugan, early Adventure Time, Silly Bands, Poptropica, etc.

Tumblr is full of silly posers when it comes to everything though, like all these teens pretending to be "new wave" or "punk" or "totally 80s" (see Vaporwave), so this isn't surprising.

Wow! It's amazing you encountered that post. I thought those folks would realize they are 00s kids, but I guess they still refuse. Oh, and I definitely wouldn't listen to Tumblr. Those people are THE worst!

Yeah that's dumb. I was born in 1995 and even I have always accepted I am a 2000s kid a long time ago. And there's nothing wrong with that it was not a bad decade. And the funny thing is, everyone I know (outside of this site) who was born the same year as me considers themselves '90s kids!  :o It's just crazy people think they are a kid of the '90s just because they were born in that decade. People think it's some status symbol to be a kid in the '90s which just doesn't make sense. It was worse in the early 2010s too. The only thing I don't consider myself as is Gen Z. I still very much feel I am a millennial, but that also may be due to having older siblings and friends and following them and what they were into throughout my childhood. The cutoff being around 2000 makes much more sense, but that's just my opinion. Many people seem to think that 2000s kid is synonymous with Gen Z, but that isn't true unless you are a younger 2000s kid (late 2000s kids specifically).

That's funny becasue all the people I know born in 1995 don't consider themselves 90's kids haha ;D

XD how can you have nostalgia for the 90s when you didn’t even exist back then? “Wow I miss swimming in my dads nuts. Those were good times!”

Nowadays I'm mainly seeing 1993-1995ers basing their childhood around late 1990s-early/mid 2000s stuff. Mainly being nostalgic for the era where they were in their early to core childhoods. I'd include the late childhood, but a lot of people are now mixing ages 11-12 into their teen years. Probably since you start middle school at age 11 and you're with 13/14 year olds who are in grade 8. But when it comes to their childhood they mainly look back on their pre-school to elementary school days of age 3 or 4 - 10.

Was born in 2002 over here. I've never considered myself a 90's kid. I'm much more of a 2000's child. I can actually remember the era (mostly 2005/2006-2009) and the typical shows, music, fashion, toys, etc. I don't get why people born in the mid or late 90s are desperate to call themselves 90s kids. Maybe it's because the 90s nostalgia has brainwashed them. But the 2000's were badass as well.

Because annoying 90s kids kept brainwashing them into thinking the 1990s was a utopia. 1990s nostalgia has literally brought nothing but stupidity. Annoying elitist "90s kids" who back in 2011-2014 were just spreading accross the internet like a disease posting memes and making annoying videos and articles about how "great" the 90s were and talking down at anyone who didn't experience the decade. Add that with countless 90s nostalgia pandering rehashes movie sequels/remakes etc. Literally made the 1990s seem somewhat overrated to me. I can get nostalgia for a decade, but in the 2000s and before nostalgia was not pushed to this extreme. Even gotten to one point where I cringe from just seeing the word/numbers "1990s" or "90s" as I kept seeing it so much and got sick of it. Still am kinda.

Probably sometime in the 2020s as nostalgia usually occurs in 20 year cycles.

And 1991 and '92 folks. I've seen some of them base their childhood around time as well.

Well, some of them are considering it's not uncommon for them to talk about the late 90s (which they were kids in).

I do question people who seem to be obsessed with when they were like 5 years old. That is really weird, I mean I remember when I was 5 a bit but not really enough to care that much about. I miss my late childhood through early 20s the most if I were to say I’m nostalgic for anything because I actually remember that vividly and was young and naive. Of course a lot of those people are really young and still in their teens or early 20s so they are still in that phase really and they only have 2nd grade to look back to or whatever.

Us '93ers we're 4-14 in 1997-2007 though so we include our late childhood sometimes too. Personally though, it's hard for me to get nostalgic for late 2004- mid 2006 period because I hated it, and late 2006 and 2007 feel too recent to get nostalgic for. But a lot of the songs from then do kick my nostalgia hormones into overdrive like American Idiot, My Happy Ending (Avril Lavigne), Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Sugar We're Goin' Down etc.  ;D

My biggest nostalgia is probably anything 1995-2005 and I was born in 1987. I’m a little nostalgic for the late ‘00s too though it’s still kinda too recent. 2004 is definitely old enough though, I wish it was 2004 again. :\'(

Well, some of them are considering it's not uncommon for them to talk about the late 90s (which they were kids in).

You are not a '90s kid if you are born after 1992. True '90s kids are actually born in the '80s.

That's kind of me actually. I have quite a lot of memories from being 5 years old that's why I love the year 2000 so much.  :P

That's kind of interesting, I mean I have some memories of 1992 sure but idk that seems so distant in my memory. There are some extremely old school things I remember from those days that I've talked about on here. I guess there is a certain nostalgia but there is more nostalgia for the things when I was older that I remember much better. I guess I'm just older now, I can miss being 16 now for example as that was 14 years ago for me and seems like another time in my life now. For you being only 22 though, 16 seems more just a "few years back" probably and hard to get nostalgic over yet.

Yes it's all about how old you are. For example you might not get nostalgic for your childhood as much but you will probably really miss being like 16 or whatever, but for me that was literally like 8 or 9 months ago so it's not like I'm gonna get Nostalgic over that anytime soon lol :P, but instead I'm obviously gonna get nostalgic for my childhood, Becasue that's really the only stage in my life that is far enough away from the current day to be somewhat nostalgic over :). For example you said you really miss 2004 when you were 17 years old, but I was only 4 back then and in preschool so we can both get nostalgic for that time, we were just in very different times in our lives. ;)

I agree, to me the overall span of my childhood at least I would think would be about 2002/3-2011.

2012 didn't really feel like my childhood anymore, just an early teenage year really. At least in 2011 when I was a preteen, I still felt like somewhat of a child even though it was very different from 2010 for me. :)

Interesting.

I was born in the year 2001. I don't consider myself both Millenial and Gen Z. I've always considered myself only Gen Z. In fact, many say 2001 is actually the first year for Gen Z.

I had to a research project based on generations and out of the six people (born in 2001) who responded, all of them stated that they consider themselves to be Gen Z.

That's interesting. In my opinion, those born from 1995-2000 are Y/Z Cusps. I think it makes sense for Gen Z to start in 2001. I believe those born in 2000 (Or the C/O 2018, as some people call them) are the last to have some Y traits.

I was born in 2002 but I consider myself an early z. Some people say if you’re born in 2002 onwards then you’re undeniably gen z cause you were born after 9/11, which doesn’t make sense because first of all, there are actually some 2001 borns who were born after it. Second, you’re basically saying that somebody born in September 10, 2001 and somebody born in September 12, 2001 are completely different generations, despite being born in the same year. Also, every single person that was born after 9/11 (including those being born like right now) would be born after 9/11. Yes, even those born in like the year 5000. Also, there’s more to it than just 9/11.

Well, every cutoff date is going to be vague, but I do agree with the points that you raised. I'm a 2001 baby who was born post-9/11, but I have always felt that those with my same birth year born pre-9/11 are 100% Gen Z. I mean, obviously, there is absolutely no difference between us. If you were placed in a room with one person born in early 2001 and the other born in early 2002, would you even see a difference, aside from age and birth year? That's why I'm confused about this Generation Stuff.

It's a bit pseudo-scientific and meant to be a quick guideline/shortcut of sorts. I wouldn't take it too seriously. If people sometimes call you millennial and others call you Gen Z, then that just means you're somewhere in between.

2000's nostalgia will probably get big somewhere around 2020 to 2024. By then '80s babies, who are the ultimate '00s teens, will start turning 40, and that's usually when we see the teen culture of a decade get nostalgic.

That's an incredible thought really. I distinctively remember when Mid-Late '80s babies were still in their late teens/early 20s. The fact that many of them are approaching their 40s makes me feel old, to be honest. :P

I remember people my age being in like 2nd grade pretty easily. Now we are 30 years old and many have young children of their own. A lot of like young children today, their mothers and fathers are generally like my age. Actually I remember my one cousin born in ‘79 being only like 13 and still in middle school. LOL Now those people are almost 40.

The oldest kids when I started high school were some late 1982 borns. A guy I used to hang out with at lunch will be 35 soon. We used to exchange cheat codes for games we'd looked up on cheatcc.com. The early '00s are old.

Yeah, it's amazing how old the Early 2000's truly are now. I was looking through a few of my photo albums a couple of days ago and I happened to come across a few photos of me from 2001. The fact that the photos were taken with an analogue camera and I was wearing a flannel-shirt (you definitely don't see 2 year olds wearing them nowadays!) really put things into perspective!

And I say the early 90s people will be the same way as 80s folks despite they will be in their 30s when the 00s teen nostalgia takes off.


That's interesting. In my opinion, those born from 1995-2000 are Y/Z Cusps. I think it makes sense for Gen Z to start in 2001. I believe those born in 2000 (Or the C/O 2018, as some people call them) are the last to have some Y traits.
I don't think that will be the case anymore despite that we all share the same opinion. Sociologists also believed that 2000 should be the final year for Millennials, but after a lot of research over the years regarding technology, politics, and more, they found out there's no way it will still be the same.

Oh. I said that early 90s folks will be part of the 00s teen nostalgia in the next decade even though they will be in their 30s. I don't remember talking about 2005-09 people.

I'm a core 2010s teen, does that mean I will be getting nostalgic for this decade in 2040? ::)

Interesting.

I was born in the year 2001. I don't consider myself both Millenial and Gen Z. I've always considered myself only Gen Z. In fact, many say 2001 is actually the first year for Gen Z.

I was born in ‘02 and I don’t care for this generation stuff, but I consider myself a Y/Z cusp

I was born in ‘02 and I don’t care for this generation stuff, but I consider myself a Y/Z cusp

I was born in 2002 too, but I don’t consider myself to be core z or the peak of z. I’m more of an early z

I don’t consider myself to have the same growing up experiences as anyone born after 2004 (2004 itself is already pushing it) atleast us early 2000’s babies (2000-2003) are the last to remember a time before iPhones took over. Our childhood wasn’t dominated by technology unlike kids today.

Yeah, even though iPhones were first released to the public in 2007, they didn't truly become widespread until 2010/2011, when smartphones exploded in popularity. Generally speaking, Early 2000s babies would be the last cohort to have experienced at least half of their childhood in a "non-smartphone dominated" era.

I agree. People seem to think that 2007 is the end of the core 2000's all because of the release of the iPhone, but it wasn't a day/night difference. In fact, I'd probably argue that 2007 is the last core 2000's year.

It IS the last core 2000s year.

It IS the last core 2000s year.

I agree. 2008 was when some early 2010's culture started coming, but the year was still mostly 00s culture. The first half of 2008 basically felt like an extension of 2007 IMO

The core 2000s lasted until mid 2008. But the last full year was 2007.....

Everybody has a different opinion when the cores '00s started and ended. It isn't set in stone.

Because annoying 90s kids kept brainwashing them into thinking the 1990s was a utopia. 1990s nostalgia has literally brought nothing but stupidity. Annoying elitist "90s kids" who back in 2011-2014 were just spreading accross the internet like a disease posting memes and making annoying videos and articles about how "great" the 90s were and talking down at anyone who didn't experience the decade. Add that with countless 90s nostalgia pandering rehashes movie sequels/remakes etc. Literally made the 1990s seem somewhat overrated to me. I can get nostalgia for a decade, but in the 2000s and before nostalgia was not pushed to this extreme. Even gotten to one point where I cringe from just seeing the word/numbers "1990s" or "90s" as I kept seeing it so much and got sick of it. Still am kinda.

This exactly! I used to be for nods to the 90s back in the late 00s because media used to overlook the decade so much. But now I could care less about anything that came out of it and cringe at the obsession with 90s Nick.

I would actually push that a little further. Yeah, smartphones were widespread around that time but they were quite different even from the ones today. Oh, and I don't remember kids asking if they can use them until around 2014.

When do you think the decade as a whole will be nostalgic, much like how the 90's are now?

Probably not ever.... NOTHING BUT GARBAGE SINCE 2000 ... WHO WILL WANT THAT??? (Ah man!!)

That's an incredible thought really. I distinctively remember when Mid-Late '80s babies were still in their late teens/early 20s. The fact that many of them are approaching their 40s makes me feel old, to be honest. :P

Hey now Shark us mid and late 80s babies are only in our late 20s to early 30s, we still got a ways to go before we get to the "F" word  ;D

It's fairly obvious that he's talking about people born in the early 80's duh lol :D

Mid ‘80s babies aren’t anywhere near 40. Only the very earliest ‘80s babies will be 40 in a few years from now, so it’s still a while really before most ‘80s born are in their 40s. Actually we’re talking like almost 10 years since its only been a couple years that the majority of 1980s born are now in their 30s.

I said that "I distinctively remember when Mid-Late '80s babies were still in their late teens/early 20s". Anyway, by the time 2020 rolls around, the oldest Mid '80s babies will be turning 36. How is that not approaching their 40s?

Well first off I knew what you said, I was correcting Slim95. And secondly this is 2017 not 2020 so as of right now we're not approaching our 40s and won't for a few years

Old Fogies y'all are.  ;D I'm too young and beautiful. 27 for the rest of time.

Lol i forget if I actually answered this thread so I’ll just give my answer. I think 00s nostalgia for all parts of the decade will slowly come in by like 2020, because by then 2009 will be 11 years old and girls born that year will probably be having their you know what time of the month, so that’s gonna make us feel old. Next, i think it will be at its peak at sometime in the early or mid 2020s and it will be seen like the 90s are today. My guess would probably be around 2021-2025 give or take. By then the early and mid 00s will either be retro or close to retro so it should definitely be happening by then.

Well like I always say late 20s aren't much different then the 30s but are much different then then early 20s. Everybody wants to forever 21 not 28. I mean why do you think there is store called "Forever 21" ;)

It's because 21 is fresh while 28 is not ;).

Exactly! At 28 you might as well already be in your 30s. You're grown up at that point. But in your early 20s you're still practically a kid.

I think that's because how times have changed. Early 20s folks used to at least have a place, career and a family, but now that's not achievable due to the economy.

Do you think the mid 20s are a transitional phase where one is both or do you think that's when people are really grown?

30 is the new 20. This isn't decadology. There is no transitional phase. I hope you're joking on this thinking people need to be grown up by a certain age.

I do believe the mid 20s are somewhat of a traditional period. I mean the further you get into your 20s the more you change. Of course this varies from person to person.

30 is the new 20. This isn't decadology. There is no transitional phase. I hope you're joking on this thinking people need to be grown up by a certain age.

I agree there is no "being grown up by a certain age". Bit that depends on your definition of being "grown up". If your talking having a house, spouse, and children then no, that doesn't constitute being grown up IMO. But if were talking about taking responsibility for your own actions, making better choices, Supporting yourself then that is what really constitutes being a "grown up" and if some people aren't even capable of some of these things by thier lates 20s then their likely not going to in their 30s. It mau take longer for them or in some, and rather sad cases, some people never accomplished these things.

No, it isn't and anyone can be a grown-up earlier than 30 and even earlier than 25. Just like anyone can be immature at 30, 35 or even 40.


I do believe the mid-20s are somewhat of a traditional period. I mean the further you get into your 20s the more you change. Of course, this varies from person to person.
That's true especially the last part. There are people who change before hitting their 20s and those who change after hitting 30 (or 35)

Yeah, a prime example is the current president of this country. He never seems to take responsibility and makes bad choices at the same time.

2000s nostalgia is sort of mainstream in Australia. Channel 9 is currently airing reruns of iconic 2000s show "Kath and Kim"

We've already seen hints of 2000s nostalgia in gaming. Games like ReCore, Sunset Overdrive, Hover Revolt, Splatoon 1 and 2, and Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga DX + Bowser's minions shows that people are now having early 2000s gaming memories. As for the full decade entirely? I'd wager around the early 2020s.

1997-2006 nostalgia spawned in the early 10s, and will probably be in full effect in the early 20s. 2007-2016 nostalgia will probably start in the early 20s and will be in full effect in the early 30s. 80s nostalgia will die off in the early 20s, 90s nostalgia will die off in the early 30s, 00s nostalgia will die in the early 40s.

Couldn't help but notice this as I was browsing through old threads. It's funny you should say that, because Channel Nine has been re-airing episodes of "Without a Trace" as well!  :o

We're definitely currently entering 2000-2007 nostalgia. I have lost count of how many articles about the early 00s i've seen on buzzfeed alone.

You should change that to "1999-2007 nostalgia".

There was recently an episode of Life in Pieces that was set on New Year's Eve in 1999.

Here is a snapshot:

BuzzFeed doesn't count... BuzzFeed has been talking about early 2000s for a long time. It is not a sign early 2000s nostalgia is here. I would give it another 2 years before it becomes nostalgic in the mainstream, but even then '90s nostalgia will still be stronger.
