2007 was the very first year of my core childhood.
I remember that year clearly. I started Kindergarten that year. These pics do bring back nostalgia especially the Wii

Thanks for posting these!

Man, do I miss that world and being in my early twenties like I was then.  The dude in pic 7 is smoking hot.  It's hard to believe that we are ten years removed from that world.

I agree. It felt very different compared to today. 2007 was also a good year for music IMO

I don't know, it doesn't seem long ago at all. Those pictures look like they could've been taken today. I guess it makes sense, 1997 didn't seem old at all to me in 2007 either.  I'll probably feel the same about 2017 in 2027.  :-X

Damn that fashion is really dated from a 2017 perspective

Right. I’m glad to have grown up in the late 2000s

Wow, 10 years seem so damn long ago and everything was so different back then. :o

Obviously this is a decade ago, but I find the 1997 to 2007 change to be larger as obviously it was more critical for my coming of age, of which 2007 was the tail end of (I graduated college and started my job that year, which I just celebrated my 10th anniversary). It does rose tint some elements, as cellphone use (flip phones, of course!) was already pretty common, and I don't see anyone with an MP3 player, which certainly were around. The graphic design certainly was different then as it was in both 1997 and today, with the "new releases" at the Blockbuster a lingering font that was popular in the '90s that you don't see much of today. That year was arguably the peak of Millenial adolescent culture IMO (though I'm early Millenial and see the Y2K era as my peak). Sure, it's dated from a 2017 perspective, but of course will always feel "contemporary" to 1997.

Holy...that does make me feel old! I was 17 back then. Surely, you are too young for nostalgia?

:D

Mind you, I think back then I was nostalgic for the 90s.

Never thought I would be looking back nostalgiacally on the 00s at the time.

It's all about perspective I guess. To me, all that looks kinda modern, but not 2017 modern.

It's like the start of how things look today.

If I could go back to a year it would be 2007 and to be 17 again, just like in the movie!


I don't know, it doesn't seem long ago at all. Those pictures look like they could've been taken today. I guess it makes sense, 1997 didn't seem old at all to me in 2007 either.  I'll probably feel the same about 2017 in 2027.  :-X


I must say, 1997 seemed like another world to me in 2007. So archaic considering it was just 10 years ago to 2007.

But like you, 2007 doesn't seem that old to me either.

I feel like there is a lot more of a difference between 1997 and 2007 than 2007 and 2017.


Damn that fashion is really dated from a 2017 perspective


Heh, I still wear the same basic stuff. I think the last of my clothes from back then went a few years ago, but the new stuff I wear is basically the same anyway!

I was never really into fashion, more a tee and jeans kinda guy. And a hoodie top if it's cold.

So I guess I don't notice that much.


Wow, 10 years seem so damn long ago and everything was so different back then. :o


What do you notice mainly? I guess the tech is more separated than it is nowadays. Fashion, a bit more plain maybe. But apart from that it still looks pretty relatable.






Not sure why I feel compelled to post this stuff, but I think there are some things that are significant and attract my attention.

Like Rainbow talking about 2007 being her "core childhood" years was kinda jarring! I always assume everyone on here is kinda my age ;) That's what it feels like to get old I guess!

I can definitely see the technology has changed in the 10 years.

I disagree. If your personal life was drastically different 7 or even 4 years ago, then it’s still possible to be nostalgic. Yes, you can even be nostalgic for something last year. As long as it’s in the past.

How is it dated, I mean you are a lot younger than me so you have a different perspective but it does not look dated at all to me.

Waist belts are 2000s thing
you have a pic of a girl in typical 2000s emo wear
then you have a bunch of colors that scream 2000s
the make up on the girl with the yellow screams 2000s, heavy light blue eye shadow is a 2000s thing

This is exactly how I feel as well.  I graduated college in December 2007 and started my first real job in January 2008 so I am approaching the one decade mark.  I definitely miss that era and wish I could go back and do some things differently.

Slim95 will argue how different the late '00s were from the early '00s, but I think a lot of that is due to his age.  I think somebody born ten years earlier might see the '90s as less transformative than the '80s.  In my opinion, age 13 through 18 is one of the most transformative times of life (18-25 also is but to a lesser degree) no matter the pop culture.  With this in mind, when you are a young adult pop culture from your pre-teen years and before feels very different compared to the culture during your teen years and into your twenties.

These pics are almost exactly how I remember 2007.

Anyways, that pic of Michael Jackson made me a litle bit sad :(.

I was just a 7-8 year old in '07 and I was approaching the PEAK of my childhood. I never thought that my childhood would end but the end was on the horizon. Damn...

These pictures actually look quite dated to me. Very removed from today, not so much resolution wise but the fashion and content of the pictures don't look like they fit in today at all. Although I agree photos from the early 2010s would not look very dated and look like they can be taken today, but these pictures from 2007 look quite old.

I agree with you. These photos actually do look pretty dated to me.

I was 12 years old in 2007, I started middle school and '07 was truly the best time of my life. I found my first love that year and it was on this chick in my French class and was crushing on her hard. Man the nostalgia is really strong. 2007 honestly feels like a different world from now.  Many things from that year are extremely dated now and that year is overall quite old.

But like you, 2007 doesn't seem that old to me either.

I think if you look at a pic from 1997 and compare it to 2007 now, it looks completely different. But if you went back to 2007, seeing people wear clothes from 1997 was still very ordinary and it didn't look old at all. If it was 2007 again and this thread was about 1997, I think there will be quite a few people like us who would be saying "it looks the same as today" ;D

That's an interesting question, whether the difference between 1997 and 2007 or 2007 is 2017 is greater. I think the difference is just as big between the two. I remember 2007 as being a largely pre-social media/instant information and pre-smartphone year, and I still had an SDTV, that makes it sound hella old. But there was a lot about the year that was modern too, like having YouTube and online console gaming.

I had internet in 1997 though. For people who see 1997 as a pre-Internet and pre-cellphone kind of year, I can see why the difference between 1997 and 2007 seems much larger.


Heh, I still wear the same basic stuff. I think the last of my clothes from back then went a few years ago, but the new stuff I wear is basically the same anyway!


I still have some clothes from 2006/2007 too that I wear every now and then. My favourite shirts from then have hit the dust though.  :\'( When I burnt my favourite teenage shirt (from 2007) on the iron a couple of years back I wanted to beat the living crap out of myself.  >:(

Look at that $3000 Blu-ray player.

It would be 2 years before he had passed away. :(

Yep.

How is it dated, I mean you are a lot younger than me so you have a different perspective but it does not look dated at all to me.

As a high school student, I can say without a doubt that nobody in my school dresses like the people in these photos anymore  ;D Which makes it seem dated to me

It is dated. Also with the technology as well and general culture was pretty different.

Its funny because the 2000s feeling kept leaving every single month of 2007 one by one,
by 2008 we were at 50% 2000s feeling

Nope, I think that's 2008 your talking about, at the beginning of 2008 it was very much still 2000s however this changed  throughout the year and by 2009 we were at 50% 2000s feeling.

No 2008 was the transitional year, not 2009. Although the 2008 - 2009 school year can be said to be transitional too. 2007 was still late 2000s, but not quite the classic 2000s feel anymore and the mid '00s were gone by then too. Neither '07 or '08 (even '06) felt truly 100% 2000s though. One '06 came, it was not 100% 2000s anymore. 2005 was the peak year of the 2000s and can be said to be the quintessential year of the 2000s too.

Ffs actually read my posts for once before you start jumping to conclusions, if you actually read my post you would've seen that I said 2008 WAS the transitional year, NOT 2009!

Iphone, Backpack rap replaces snap/50 cents run , Facebook blows up in march
all in that year

2007 was the last year of the mid 2000s.


I would say until March 2007 it still felt like the mid 2000s
but they left in September 2006

This is exactly how I feel as well.  I graduated college in December 2007 and started my first real job in January 2008.


Same here.

Wow 2007 looks way more different than 2017,my brother was 10 that year while I was 3.

It was a light-hearted year.

I would say until March 2007 it still felt like the mid 2000s

What are the mid 2000s to you?

John Titor, will you be doing a 2000 summer atmosphere photo thread? I am looking forward to that one.

What are the mid 2000s to you?


around the time American Idiot was released, and ended around March 2007

(in 2006 it officially ended, but it still felt like the mid 2000s)

I thought it looked too modern. :P. I've actually spotted a lot of pictures in these threads which are not from the actual year for the thread.

I think all of them are from the same year the OP posted them. There's no evidence it is from a different year. But I'm not entirely sure.
