That's really sad  :\'(

Unrelated to the video: During this time, she really thought she was being an edgy rocker chick.  ;D

True, but that same year she also had a cute little r&b hit:

It's pretty amazing how she tries to be absolutely everything as long as it is popular/in style  ;D

That's how she stays relevant. I am extremely surprised she hasn't dropped an album yet. It seems she usually drops one every year..

That's how she stays relevant. I am stunned she hasn't dropped an album yet. It seems she usually drops one every year.
The reason is that the songs on Rhianna's 2016 album are still charting and playing on the radio and she stopped releasing albums every year 5-6 years ago.

Man oh boy!!! I LOVED 2008!!!!! Can't believe it's been a whole decade. Time sure does fly!!! It ties with 2004 as the greatest year of my life. I was 10 years old in 2008 so I was really young and didn't have much life experience. But ignorance is bliss, isn't it?  :)

In 2008, I went to my first Spurs game. It was such a fun experience because it was on my tenth birthday. I remember it was Spurs VS Calvaliers. I also remember watching lots of Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon at that time. Shows like George of the Jungle (2007), Chowder, Flapjack, Total Drama Island, Johnny Test, My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Camp Lazlo, SpongeBob, The Mighty B!, Back at the Barnyard, Tak and the Power of Juju, El Tigre, Fairly OddParents, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, etc. were my absolute favorites to watch. My next door neighbor always came over to my house and me and my brother would play football with him. Every weekend I'd ride my bike with my siblings. I remember going to my cousin's house for Easter where we had an egg hunt and we played their Gamecube games, like Sonic, NBA Live, and Need for Speed. I also remember going to a pot luck and watching "Fairly OddBaby" when Poof was added to the show. My little sister and I would always read Biscuit books (my little sister was in kindergarten at the time). My older brother (who was in middle school at the time) played the clarinet and one time we both rushed home after his band class to watch the premiere of the SpongeBob episode "Pest of the West" and I remember getting a Nintendo DS Lite the next day. I was really into Hank the Cowdog books at the time and I remember reading over half of the book series in a few months. One of my best friends had a birthday party and we saw Speed Racer (2008 film) at the Palladium theater. He lived on a hill and we had Nerf gun fights and rode his Ripstix skateboard down the hill. My other friend in my fourth grade class had a PSP and I would always sit by him on the bus and watch him play it. He had the game 300 (based on the movie) and some other racing games. In the summer I watched so many fun television blocks, Har Har Tharsdays on Cartoon Network, and Nonstop Five at 5 on Nickelodeon. My parents would always watch Wipeout, I Survived a Japanese Game Show, America's Funniest Home Videos, Beijing Olympics, Barack Obama election at the evening time and I would watch it while eating dinner. My siblings and I had a bunch of water balloons and we would always have water fights in our backyard. Nicktoons Network was a cool exclusive channel and they had cool shows on like Three Delivery, Ricky Sprocket, Making Fiends, Edgar and Ellen, etc. and I'd always watch those before bed. During Fourth of July, Cartoon Network had this huge Chowder marathon and I remember watching it at my cousin's house and we played his GameCube games like F-Zero Racing, Tony Hawk, and SpongeBob Movie game. There was a summer program in my city called "College for Kids" and me and my brother would go there every summer. Everyone there had a Nintendo DS and it felt amazing to have a DS like everyone else. At the end of the summer, I put on a big birthday party for my little sister. We decorated the house with decorations and we designed our game room like an arcade. We drew and colored tickets and we distributed the tickets after you played video games or air hockey (we had an air hockey table at the time) and we used McDonalds toys as prizes you get after redeeming tickets. It was so creative and kind. During the fall, I entered fifth grade and we got Mario Kart: Double Dash!! for our GameCube!!! I played the heck out of the game in fifth grade!!!!!!!! It was so addicting!!!!  Me and my siblings also watched afterschool cartoons on Boomerang like Gerald McBoing-Boing, Baby Looney Tunes, Krypto the Superdog, etc. I would always rush my homework to watch those with my little sister afterschool. My school had a county fair and I went to that. Shows like Chowder, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, Mighty B! and Total Drama Island were airing the best episodes that fall. My friends at my church would always watch the Canadian episodes of Total Drama Island before they aired on CN. So many awesome childhood memories!!!!!!!!!!! :D I also drew a lot of comic books at that time and I would send them in the mail to my friends. I remember going to a birthday party with inflatabqles and a dunk tank. I also remember buying a Captain Underpants book and reading the whole book in one sitting. I also got my first detention in fifth grade (I was always drawing cartoons in class) During Thanksgiving I played so much Double Dash, and watched a marathon of new SpongeBob, Mighty B and Fairly OddParents episodes on Nick and a marathon of Tom and Jerry, Chowder and the series finale of My Gym Partner's a Monkey and the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends movie Destination Imagination on CN and Madagascar 2 in Theaters. I actually got a fever from so much stimulation of entertainment, and I was excited when Barrack Obama won the election. During Christmas I got a Tom and Jerry DVD, Mario Kart DS and Mario Party DS. My brother also got a DS Lite and we would play DS Download Play all the time that Christmas break. My brother had a band performance in Dallas, TX and we traveled there to see him perform in the Cotton Bowl parade. I actually saw him on TV in the hotel room I was in!!!!!!

Sorry that was so long, 2008 was an INCREDIBLE year for me. I would say 2018 has NOTHING in common with 2008, so much has changed and the world is a competley different place entertainment/culture-wise. 2008 is a core 2000's year, probably the last extremely 2000's-esque year. 2009-2011 was a little like the 2000's. but a lot like the 2010's at the same time. If time travel was real I'd definitely go back in time to 2008, during my childhood. Being a teen/young adult just isn't the same. :(

Wow, that's a long post. Anyways, I'm glad that you loved 2008. I loved 2008 as well.

We're also both late '90s babies. You were born in '98 and I was born in '99.

I'm also a big fan of 2008, I was 9 that year, while I wouldn't time travel back to it, it'd be cool if eventually some simulator was created in the future that allowed you to go through realistic simulations of certain time periods (including 2008), which may sound unlikely to happen, but you never know with how much VR has been advancing.



YASS, a 98 born! Such a rare thing, my prayers have been heard!


;D Yeah, there don't seem to be that many active 98'ers here for some reason. It seems like there's a lot more 1999 and 2002 borns when compared to all the other surrounding late 90's and early 00's years.

There are some others that I don't remember off the top of my head.

Yeah, I know them and a lot of the others, it just seems like there's more people born in 1999 and 2002 than all the other years I was referring to. There does seem to be a decent amount of 97'ers now though. :)

No. I just talk about him sometimes on here.

Wow, that's a long post. Anyways, I'm glad that you loved 2008. I loved 2008 as well.

We're also both late '90s babies. You were born in '98 and I was born in '99.


Yes, that is correct, I was born in 1998. So I grew up heavily in the 2000's. What a time to be alive! So many awesome childhood memories from the 2000's, 2008 being one of the absolute best years of my whole life. Everything amazing happened to me that year, I'll never forget it. I was 10 years old in 2008, now I'm 20 years old in 2018, a whole decade later. I have seen times change over the past 10 years, I can tell you that much. I miss 2008 so much, but this year hasn't been too bad. Like shows like The Loud House and games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are pretty good. Plus I've made a lot of new friends at my college, too, and I still call my brother everyday and text my best friend every now and then And fortunately there are websites like YouTube, watchcartoononline, Internet Archive, etc. that lets you watch old cartoons and commercial breaks from my childhood. So yeah, there's still a lot to be thankful for. :)

2008 was the peak of my Rihanna years probably. I made this blog about her back then and listened to a ridiculous amount of Rihanna and was always bragging about her.

Definitely. Yeah I always thought she was hot and I liked her music and she's about my age. I still love RiRi but I'm not obsessed anymore, and I'm especially nostalgic for her early days in the mid-late '00s.

Yeah I know that is crazy. She made quality music for a 17 year old. Who are the youngest artists that have big hits right now? I don't follow much anymore.

"Bhad Bhabie" is Danielle Bregoli - the "Cash Me Outside Girl". She just turned 15 on March 26th, 4 days ago.

Yeah, a lot of artists names today are terrible ;D.

I do like Camila Cabello. Her music is actually pretty good too.  :-*

Yeah, 19 and 20 year olds seem to comprise the majority of the youngest popular artists, there really aren't that many big 17-18 year olds, and besides Lil Pump, no one currently under 20 has had a top 20 hit this year.

Oh, yeah, him. His highest charting song peaked two weeks ago at #31, Outside Today. I'm surprised he's 18 and has 4 kids.

Trippie Redd is another rapper who has gotten some mainstream attention and he's 18, born June 1999. I have a feeling he'll be one of the ten rappers on the 2018 XXL freshman list. YoungBoy might be too.

Honestly it didn't hit me at first (no pun intended) and then I'm like duh of course! Wasn't that incident between the two of them already around 10 years ago now? Kinda hard to believe.

90s babies are still young. Our rappers will get better with age. We have to weed out the bad ones first  ;D.

At least we have Joey Bada$$ though.

I do too bro! "Let Me Hold You" is very nostalgic for me. I was obsessed with Omarion back then as well. It really takes me back. As stated before, 2005 was one of my favorite years.

I was really young when Bow Wow blew up but his music was the f*cking jam!

I never even knew who Bow Wow was in the 2000's. I just now looked up Bow Wow songs, didn't recognize any of the titles and listened to Let Me Hold You, but don't recognize it.

How big would you say he was? Like the equivalent of 2010 Justin Bieber?

I think Bieber was bigger, but still Bow Wow was big. He was like big at like two different times it seems to me, circa 2000 as a 13 year old then was big again circa 2005 at 18. But yeah Bieber was such a ridiculously MASSIVE sensation for a while, I don't think he tops that.

JoJo also had a hit at age 13 in 2004 "Leave (Get Out)". Great song! Definitely one of the anthems of my teen years.  8)

Beiber was bigger than Bow Wow. JB was a teen pop star and bow wow a rapper. I feel like Bow Wow was bigger in the early 2000s than the mid 2000s. I also think Bow Wow's relationship with Ciara helped him out in 2005. I could be wrong but, when Let Me Hold You came out, I was anticipating a reference to Ciara in the video.

They had that song together too "Like You".

I'd say that song also helped him out. His 3rd single "Freshasimizz" (or however you spell it lol) wasn't  as big as the other singles.

Bow Wow and JoJo actually had a song together back in 2004 too! "Baby It's You"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP23xos4704

Well he was in one of the mixes of that song, I don't see him on this video though.

I feel like I wasn't very aware of rap music in the mid 2000's, mostly just heard crossovers that would go on top 40 stations like Kanye West, so that may be why I didn't know him. Or maybe my parents just changed the station or something when his music was on, neither of them have ever liked much rap.

When she first stepped into the scene, I thought she was 16 years old Come to find out, she was only 13! As a young girl, I wanted to be like her.  Her voice even at 13/14 was amazing.

Are you referring to Danielle Bregoli? ::) BTW she just had a birthday the other day.

I'm a 70's baby.

and so is Billy Ocean.

No, Billy Ocean is not an '80s baby. He was born in 1950.

I know that, I was making a joke because his last name is not "Ocean", it's Charles.

I think around 2008 i had WALL E shoes when i was 4 lol.

On a societal level, yes, it feels about 10 years ago. The tech and politics/cuture seems very very dated.
On a personal scale it feels hard to really accept that the memories from that year are a decade old. I was 12/13, enjoying life, and my future seemed a lot brighter than how it has turned out.

That's exactly how it feels.

I did a poem about this called 08 vs 18 where i talked about my life as a 12 yr old kid to now at almost 22. It's weird that 08 was a decade ago, I remember back in 08 people where saying the same thing about 98.

I always thought of 2006-2010 as being "high tech".

I can't say the tech/culture seems changed that much compared to now.

In what way?

I've never really been that connected to tech/culture anyhow.

Tech wise,

There is just more integration now in terms of companies like Google and Facebook being seen on local business windows and most major companies having apps to promote their businesses, but back in '08 I think Apple was the only company building apps.


Self scan checkouts have been around since about '06-08.

I agree with you about finding it hard to accept that '08 was 10 years ago.

Back then, I was 18 with my whole life ahead of me.

My life did not turn out how I wanted it to, my prime years were spent needlessly in isolation on the computer and forums, I didn't get to pickup chicks, I don't really have any memories from back then.

I don't know what to do.

I cling on to the past trying to pretend it's not a long time ago when it is :-\\

Its almost drastically different tech wise imo. Smartphones, total social media integration with everyday life, streaming, HD video, desktops being phased out. The experience of a teen in 2008 and 2018 are a very different world altogether. Culturally we have seen different shifts via the SJW and alt-right era coming in around 2014, also the fact that Obama and Trump replaced the 2008 president Bush.

That said, when you zoom out far enough, the late 2008-present does form one big societal era, which is something thats been mentioned a few other times by people on here.

On the whole wasted youth thing, yeah I can relate entirely. I feel like my best years have passed in a blur of complete isolation and if I dwell on it for too long I start to feel like vomiting. My entire 13-23 era has been flushed away with vanishingly few social memories associated with it.

We also have Chance the Rapper and Migos.

I don't know why these rappers didn't cross my mind when I originally typed this thread. Vince Staples, Vic Mensa, Joey Badass, Chance the Rapper, Casey Veggies, GoldLink, Isaiah Rashad, YG, Earl Sweatshirt, Joey Purp and some others I'm sure I'm forgetting like the whole Save money crew and Cardi B if you wanna include her. We aren't going to claim Logic though because Logic is corny  ;D

80s babies and 90s babies were the pushers of the "Hip-Hop Renaissance" era of the early 2010s. Most of the new rappers from that era were born in the 80s and 90s so we solidified a legendary era in hip-hop. We're good lol.

2008-2016  fixed

In six months the 2009 will be 10 years ago and the last year of the 2000s to be part of the double digit years (i'm talking about it will be part of the 10+ years ago category)

That was the year my youngest nephew Joelle was born. He will be starting the 5th grade this year! 10 years came and went so fast!

It kind of saddens me so I avoid thinking about it.

It would be crazy since how fast the 2010s went by. 2009 was the beginning of the social media/smartphone craze now we're in a time when smartphones are well established in youth and kid culture whereas 10 yeats ago you were considered lucky to have the newest smartphone.

I've noticed people were kind of obsessed with early Youtube ever since 2012-2013 or so. It's understandable, I mean the site used to be more designed like a blog site and was nowhere it's modern incarnation which is now an entertainment industry on its own. Videos of that time have that immediate early, innocent charm, so I will not be suprised if they get the status of "retro" in the future. Probably past the 20th anniversary in 2025 (By that time people will probably be obsessed with everything 2000s).

2009 doesn't feel so long ago yet it is almost a whole decade ago.

Speaking of which I was talking to a 2009 born kid at church the other day, and my mind was just blown how intelligent he is. I felt like I was talking to someone my age. He was born on Christmas 2009, so he's basically a 2010 baby. Crazy how late 00s borns are going to be on the fourms soon.

In 2008 songs like these were popular:

But sure, 2008 was already very 2010s right ;)?

That's not true lol.


This is true, electropop was gaining traction on the last 4 months of 2008,
remember Chris Browns forever. pretty sure that came out before Just Dance.
Katy Perry hot and cold

By the summer of 2009, almost everything was up tempo,  Black eye Peas I gotta feeling etc etc

In 2008 songs like these were popular:

But sure, 2008 was already very 2010s right ;)?

2008 had some leftover 2000's ness songs (that were most likely produced in early 2008 or 2007) but the electropop
at the time was the new thing, it was phasing old 2000s sounding songs out slowly,  Yes there was r&b and rap but
most of it was the last vestgious of 2000s sounding songs, even with Britneys Blackout in 2007 you had electropop
already a contender on the radio

That may be the case, but I still think that 2012 was the first year that felt more 2010's than 2000's.

2008? Oh yeah! I got SSBB that year! Years prior I only played Melee! Luigi was my favorite battler back then!

Speaking of which I was talking to a 2009 born kid at church the other day, and my mind was just blown how intelligent he is. I felt like I was talking to someone my age. He was born on Christmas 2009, so he's basically a 2010 baby. Crazy how late 00s borns are going to be on the fourms soon.


I'll give it 2-3 years before we will see a late 00's born on here.

Just stop.


No, The song was an electro type of song that was popular before Just dance,
2008 was shaping up that way anyways

Speaking of 2008, i have a pre-school photo of me and my sister lol.

Johm Titor is right. 2008 was the start of dance pop. There were some late 2000s sounding leftover songs though, but the electropop sound started that year even before Lady Gaga.

2008 was extremely 2010's and completely devoid of any 2000's influence, and late 2006 was the first time it was more 2010's than 2000's.  ;)  ;)

Do people even know what Dance-Pop actually is ???? The genre has been popular the whole decade, even in the mid-2000s there were Dance-Pop hits by the likes of Justin Timberlake, Shakira, Rihanna, Black-Eyed Peas, Nelly Furtado, Fergie and, on the world scale, the extremely popular hits by Madonna. Electronic sounds sure had a relative resurgence after an absence in the mid-2000s (even though there was a straightup EDM hit by Cascada in 2006), but even the most electronic sounding songs of the late 2000s as a whole (let's say everyone's favorite's revolutionnary song Just Dance as an example) were still extremely rooted in 2000s production values like a focus on big pounding, driving beats and general lack of reverb and voice chopping like in so many 2010s EDM/electropop hits. I would say music only started to sound "Early 2010s" when David Guetta popularized Electro-House in late 2009.

The Loud House

The Loud House is the only reason I tune into Nick at all now. Nickelodeon was so much better 10 years ago.

I don't know why these rappers didn't cross my mind when I originally typed this thread. Vince Staples, Vic Mensa, Joey Badass, Chance the Rapper, Casey Veggies, GoldLink, Isaiah Rashad, YG, Earl Sweatshirt, Joey Purp and some others I'm sure I'm forgetting like the whole Save money crew and Cardi B if you wanna include her. We aren't going to claim Logic though because Logic is corny  ;D

80s babies and 90s babies were the pushers of the "Hip-Hop Renaissance" era of the early 2010s. Most of the new rappers from that era were born in the 80s and 90s so we solidified a legendary era in hip-hop. We're good lol.

I'm pretty sure she's talking about all the widely acclaimed hip hop releases that came out this decade.

Also "All Gold Everything" got a sick beat, good song lol
