This thread is debating what years certain 2000's trends peaked, here is my list




Myspace Peaked in 2006, it was actually the most visited website in the United States even beating google.
The word myspace was in a lot of songs on the radio as well



Playstation 2/  Peaked in late  2004, San Andreas was like the final BIG game it had.

Gamecube 2005, The system was still getting major players playing it I think more than ps2
this year.


Cable tv  Would like to say 2008, but I feel like TV peaked in the 2000s around late 2006
Most shows after 2006 ended such as That 70's show, TRL on decline, Macolm in the Middle ending,
Sopranos starting to wrap up. Chappelle show final season.



  Pop Punk   2006, pop punk was arguably everywhere in the 2000's and started declining around 2007,
you really did not hear as much pop punk in commercials in 2008 as you did in 2006.


TRL 2004, ratings were still strong and did not decline until late 2006.


Wrestling 2001, RAW still got strong ratings even during the INVASION which was terrible, but the ratings
were indeed slipping.


Cartoon Network  Summer 2001 during the Cell Saga on DBZ, ratings would remain strong until 2006,
but 2001 was it's peak, The World was watching.


DVDS  2005, it seems this is when BLU RAY vs HD was starting to take over


Blockbuster Video 2005, there is even a chart online  that says in peaked in Summer 2005
and was declining every month since.


The Mall as a hang out spot  Late 2008, around the time the economy crashed

The Gamecube's peak couldn't had been 2005 when that was a year before the Wii came out and 2 years before the console got discontinued. I would say 2004 was its peak, and 2004 was the peak for all 6th generation gaming IMO.

Yeah, I would definitely agree that the late 2000's was the peak for cable (digital & satellite included) TV and DVR, because that was right before streaming started rising throughout the 2010's and YouTube started changing to where it's become today.

DVD's peaked in 2006 IMO, the same year the last VHS tape was released right before it became extinct, and the same year Blu-Ray got released.

The golden Cartoon Network generation was the the Powerhouse age (1997-2004) and the original City look (2004-2006). So 2001 and 2002 sounds about right. 2002-2004 were the best for me personally. 2005 was overrated IMO but still very solid.

Blockbuster peaking in 2005 is just wrong, the prime of Blockbuster was definitely the 90's without a question. Although according to most sources 2000 was the absolute peak year of Blockbuster Video before Netflix (the old format of course) went public in 2002. It just says that 2004 was the peak of Blockbuster in amount of stores but that doesn't mean the company peaked that year.

I have a lot of malls to choose from around Atlanta which is good for me, but yeah, I don't know if it's because I got older or what, but when I was a kid malls definitely felt more exciting to go to instead of just mainly shopping clothes. If it wasn't for food courts or Gamestop I would completely avoid malls.

I always thought that 1994 and 1995 were Blockbuster's peak years

Blockbuster peaked in late 2004-  2005

This is Revenue  Sales

Technically speaking, Myspace peaked in 2008, not 2006. It was the most visited site from 2005 to early 2008.

I heard somewhere that it peaked in December 2008, which is funny because that's when most people say the cultural early 2010's were coming in.  ;D

Heck no.

Myspace peaked in 2007. That's how its supposed to be.

It's best if you don't bring this up so that you don't spark a debate we're all familiar with :P. But yeah, it actually had 75.9 million users in 2008. Facebook only surpassed Myspace in US based traffic for the first time in MAY OF 2009.

Heck no.

Myspace peaked in 2007. That's how its supposed to be.

Sorry to break it to you ;D.

Heck no.

Statistically, though, it peaked in December 2008. Believe it or not.

:-\\

Well 2008 is still the 2000s so who cares

Stores were not even selling VHS in 2006


I know, but the last VHS release was in fact "A History of Violence" in 2006 but at the same time Blu-Ray made it's debut in the U.S. in 2006 as well, so combine all of that with DVD's being in its prime, that makes 2006 the peak of DVD.

Blockbuster peaked in late 2004-  2005



None of that matters. When Blockbuster turned down a chance to purchase Netflix in 2000 for $50 million, leading up to Netflix going public in 2002, that's when things started to change. It was gradual, but it affected the company in the long run. Then you started having Blockbuster online in 2004 which was kinda like the pre-Netflix (and I mean in comparison to the old format of Netflix). Blockbuster's prime was the 90's while the absolute peak year was 2000. 2004 was just the peak of Blockbuster when it came to amount of stores.

That chart for 2004 & 2005 indicates sales for the company not stores that pop up
IE Revenue, Blockbuster in the 2000s was hugely popular with commercials on CN and MTV almost 24/7.
Everyone would go there to rent games for ps2,xbox and gamecube, while Blockbuster was huge in the 90s,
it is when DVDS started to take off when it's popularity got even greater, remember those commercials with the hamster
?
