Subject: Why did it feel like the 2000s ended in 2008?

Written By: questoftheninja on 11/10/17 at 8:08 am

I'm not saying it did but it felt especially by late 2008/2009 it wasn't the 2000s atmosphere anymore and with Obama,lady Gaga,ps3,xbox360 I mean it felt that way.Also mainly because culture feels like how it felt in late 2008 just in a more updated way this culture feels like an extension of 2008.

2010 was the last year of good Pixar sequels, Law and Order being on the air, and the Saturn being on the market.

Xbox 360 was very 2000s.  It was around for half the decade, having come out in 2005.  I consider the PS4 and Xbox One the quintessential '10s consoles.

I agree though.  2008 was a very nice end-cap on the '00s cultural decade.  2009 still had a lot of echoes of the '00s but we were heavily in transition that year.

To put it simply, yes.

Rihanna, Adele, Maroon 5, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, and Lady Gaga all had number one hits that year. 

The 2010s are the time of Katy Perry, The Walking Dead, and mediocre Pixar sequels.

2010 - 2015 are all pretty much 100% 2010s to me. 2016 and 2017 are maybe 90%, because Trump came in and changed the political vibe. 2010 also had some late 2000s holdovers, but it was still solidly 2010s.

Seeds were still being sown for the 2010s in the year 2010. Shows like Adventure Time and The Walking Dead premiered in that year. The 2010s, so far, have been the time of Marvel Cinematic Universe films, The Walking Dead, and Katy Perry’s music. So, 2010 was the last year of the 2000s, to me.

2010 also had some late 2000s holdovers, but it was still solidly 2010s.


How was it solidly 2010s?

Shows like Game of Thrones and Bob’s Burgers were not on the tube yet in 2010. I know Game of Thrones is going off the air soon, but it will probably be referenced a lot in the 2020s. Game of Thrones references will be to the 2020s what Matrix references (I.e. - Red pill/blue pill talk) are to this time that we’re living in.

Most of the shows that made their debut in the year 2010 will probably be gone by the year 2020. That would make programs like The Walking Dead ‘00s and ‘10s shows, not a ‘10s and ‘20s TV shows. Bob’s Burgers is going to be a ‘10s and ‘20s show because it premiered in the ‘10s and will most likely get cancelled in the 2020s.

Obama was president, electropop was popular, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber were all popular, fashion was more colourful, and a couple other things. It was definitely a cultural 2010s year along with 2009 (the shift to 2010s culture started in late 2008)


The electropop revival was still fresh in 2010. Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Justin Bieber were all still thought of as new artists in that time and colorful clothing was reintroduced then. Also, most of the TV shows that premiered in 2010 have been cancelled in the actual 2010s years (2011-now). That would make them '00s and '10s shows, while most of the shows that have made their debut in this period will be remembered as '10s and '20s TV shows in the future.

The very tail end of the late '00s are when the 2000s started to feel more like the '10s, but the '10s did not begin until January 1st of 2011. Law and Order, Larry King Live, and Barney and Friends were all cancelled in 2010. 2011 had zero ties to the 1990s. So, 2011 was the first year of the 2010s.

2010 was the first year of the 2010s, and 2019 will be the last year. That's how all decades work. The 2010s are 2010 - 2019.

I do not measure time in "decades”. I have never liked that word “decade”, to be honest with you.

Every part of each time period is three years:

The 2000s

1999-2001 (Y2k era/ Very Early 2000s)
2002-2004 (Second part of the Early 2000s)
2005-2007 (Mid 2000s)
2008-2010 (Late 2000s)

The 2010s

2011-2013 (The Early 2010s)
2014-2016 (The Mid 2010s)
2017-2019 (The Late 2010s)

I actually agree with Slim95 that 2010 was a solidly '10s year.  There were still some echoes of the '00s in place that year but for the most part, it felt like this decade.  Keep in mind that I think the '10s as a whole have been more similar to the '00s than the '00s were compared to the '90s.

To answer your question at the time the following 2000s things were gone by late 2008


POP PUNK- Gone
KB TOYS-  Gone
TOONAMI-  Gone
MTV TRL  -  Gone
R&B-    Almost gone
Economy- Gone
SD TV  - almost gone
Circuit City-  Gone

Other reasons why I see 2008 as the end:

*The last standalone VCR by JVC was produced.
*The last full year for SDTV in the US
*The last year with W Bush
*The last year before Twitter/Smartphone apps ("There's an app for that") became commonplace.
*The last full year with Michael Jackson alive
*The last year before the third wave of 3D movies arrived at the box office
*The last year where snap "ringtone" rap and emo were a major force on the charts
*The last year before Zipcar took off (at college campuses only during 2009 though), launching the ride-sharing culture that got joined by Uber and Lyft

http://www.inthe00s.com/archive/inthe00s/smf/1225838075.shtml- an old thread from November 2008 about the fading snap rap trend

Though to be fair in the Early'90sGuy case, Netflix launched its Internet streaming video service on November 22, 2010, less than six weeks from your unofficial '10s start, and of course, the 2010s have had online streaming as a major part of the TV landscape. Amazon launched theirs exactly three months later. 

I sort of see 2009-2011 as the true "very early '10s", with 2012-early 2013 sort of a novelty year, a lot like 1982-early 1983, that isn't quite "mid", but transitioning into it and arguably the beginning of the core '10s, as that's when peak trends introduced like bike sharing, commercial food trucks, and Tesla became popular.

This Trump era may just be late decade excesses similar to the later parts of the '80s and the '90s where form and money rules over function, before a new President (or perhaps in Britain, a new PM) will unleash the 2020s in 2020 or 2021.

But the '00s to '10s transition was not complete until these things were gone:

- Hollywood Video
- The original Law and Order
- Barney and Friends
- The Saturn car
- Air America
- The Hummer
- Giants Stadium
- Pontiac
- The Sony Walkman
- Larry King Live

2011 was the first full year that felt distant from the 2000s. 2011 was also the year of Instagram (launched in October 2010), Glee (premiered in 2009) merchandise being sold in stores, and Obama (elected in 2008) announcing the death of Osama Bin Laden. So, I see 2011 as the first and most important year of the 2010s.

For the most part, yes, but there were a few hits here and there all the way into the late '00s.  In many ways, the emo era evolved out of pop punk as well so if you throw that in, it lasted up until around 2008 or maybe even '09.

Majority of "pop punk" in the mainstream hemisphere after '03 was just more of the same MCR/Fall Out Boy faux-emo.

The faux-emo era was an offshoot of the 98-02 wave but it's as much it's own era as the Enema of the State era is differentiated from the Dookie/Smash era.

2010 was when 00s ended IMO. First part felt more like 00s, and the second part felt more like 10s. It definitely didn't end in 2008 though. That's still pretty early. I remember that year vividly and it was pretty 00s for the most part. These were the top two songs of the year, and they're about as 00s as it gets:

I agree.

2008 music was '00s for the most part, especially during the first half.  2009 was the year that the real change in music occurred.  I would say by 2010, we were comfortably '10s when it came to music, with the exception of the lingering post-grunge.  Fashion, technology, and video games were another story and I think they remained in the '00s for a bit longer than music did.

I agree with both of you! In fact, I'm now thinking the main reason why some people said 2008 was the end of the 00s has to do with discussing the change of the music scene while overlooking the other aspects even though they are wrong. For one, the general attitude was relatively different compared to today. People were more optimistic about change than feeling hopeless; there were fewer constant attacks than now; no one was offended by everything; folks were not called names if they didn't agree with someone.

The technology was different unlike now. A majority of people had cell phones, digital cameras, iPods/MP3s, DVDs, etc. Even social media was not the same. Only high school and college students used that until Facebook became popular with the general population.

The fashion was more like this:
