The XTREME! era will always be 1998-2002 to me. It did in 2005, it does now and it forever will be. These are the facts. Why? Because I, Jordan: Hero of America, say so. I am the Early 00s Guy after all! Why would anyone dispute my words? ;)

1997 and 2003 are just transitions. 1997 is super mighty because it's a real 90s year and the 90s kicked ass. 2003? The real 00s sucked dog turd so it's only 50/50 good.

I agree. That movie is far too loud for the real 2000's. The real 2000's was all about being a huge wimp and wearing your hair all over your face.

Oh look at us! We're so in touch with our emotions that we have to post them all over our MySpace bulletin board! :\'( How about we try to look as lame as possible to reflect our inner feelings?! Boo hoo.


How School of Rock would look like if it came out 1 year later ;D

LOL I'm pretty sure he's joking. He won't ever be as masterful troll as me though. I'm very stealth.

Looks like the early 2000s on its death bed. It was hard and sad to see it go :\'(


Bro you are pretty good troll but I wouldn't call you a master troll.

Master troll would be Jordan once he admits he likes 2004-2009 all along and Paramore is his favourite band.

It would probably feature hacks like From First to Last teaching the class and every kid would have some stupid wings haircut. "Kids I know you're expecting to rock out but our emotions are far too sad. Instead, we are going to focus on inner feelings and how to make a really good MySpace profile to promote your Emo band." That would be the entire plot. Jack Black would be disgusted.

Paramore sucks. 2004-2009 sucks. It's clear you're best pals with Karl and Richard.

As mentioned before the 2010s has a lot of thing that I like about it. Although in personal life it's a bit of a rollercoaster, but in terms of pop culture it's decent. I'd sum up the 2010s as...... "ehh, it's alright".

The Revival of Downtown

Anyone remember when living in the inner-city was considered very unfortunate? It has turned its head around this decade, and living in the downtown core is considered hip. A lot of cities are revitalizing and coming back to life after they died out in the 1950s.

One thing I like about the '10s is the greater acceptance of individualism and the decline of the homophobic "macho male" culture that prevailed throughout most of the 2000s.  In the '00s, you could be called gay for something as simple as ordering a craft beer instead of a Budweiser.  If you were male and had any sense of fashion you were considered gay, unless you were emo.  The more I think about it, the more I remember how much that any self-respecting heterosexual guy could NOT do during the 2000s that has nothing to do with sexuality at all, all because it was seen as gay.  Couldn't order a strawberry lemonade or any fruity cocktail.  Couldn't listen to anything but hip-hop or rock (dance/techno was a HUGE no-no and boy bands were even worse).  All clothes had to be 2 sizes too large, because clothes that fit were gay.  It was very difficult to remain secure in your sexuality last decade.  I am really glad most of that has gone by the wayside.

Ugh, I remember this too. I was called gay for not manspreading while sitting on the stairs of all things.  ::)

In the 2000s, swinging your hands while walking was gay. You had to put your hands in your pockets. The social attitudes of the 2000s were just nasty.

Makes sense.  Guys also had to cross their legs a certain way.  If they went one leg completely over another, that was gay.

Two guys could not go to the movie theater together (unless they left a seat between them) or to a sit down restaurant.  Male conversation had to remain shallow, usually about sports or sex, and not go into anything personal or emotional. It was pretty pathetic.

Was about to post this.  When standing you had to cross your arms also.  Eeesh...bad memories.

You didn't understand his post? Where have you been all these years? His post was real obvious to me. I remember in middle school when kids would call each other gay for all of those reasons he listed. Even if you accidentally admitted the word "gay" and didn't know how you were using it people would cross you off their friends list in a heartbeat. It's always been common for girls to wear tight clothes or undersized clothes, while most guys always wear regular fit clothes or larger. So before the hipster style of dressing got popular in the mid 2010's, most guys were called gay or homo for dressing up girly or wearing tight clothes unless they were emo liked bchris mentioned. However, it's always been common for homosexual people to dress the opposite of their sex, but NOT all are like this though.

Dude, nobody has ever called me gay. Especially in the 2000s. Although, if this was about stuff that seemed girly (since that was another slang for gay), I honestly never even been antagonized for that sh*t. For instance, I've been into Hello Kitty since 2007, and barely ANYBODY said to me that it was weird in my face. I was just wondering why the stuff bchris02 said is considered gay, since I barely knew anything about LGBT culture when I was a kid.

This is correct.  If you were even suspected of being gay, nobody wanted anything to do with you.  I envy '90s-borns coming of age in this decade where it is okay to be a little bit different.

Oh yeah I remember that. If you crossed your legs and they were even slightly at angle you were dead meat. I'm still too shy to cross my legs to this day, I can never get it to be perfectly straight.  :(

It may be a different ballgame in New York.  Here in the rural South everything I mentioned was actually considered gay, and it wasn't all that different in the larger cities in this part of the country either.

This stuff started to slowly change in the late '00s, with younger Millennials first.

I lived in Toronto in the 2000s and it was still pretty bad. Probably not as bad as the South though, I still had a lot of friends, especially girls because they didn't care about that stuff. The whole macho culture seems to be a 2000s thing for the entire Western world. I think NewYorkEagle missed it because he was still a kid. I don't remember 'gay' being used an insult that much in the early 2000s, probably because I was still a kid at the time, but I'm sure if I were older I would have went through the same thing I did in the other two thirds of the decade.

Yeah... maybe that's why. New York is pretty much liberal over LGBT rights, even in the 2000s. I think back then, if we enjoyed something that was girly (e.g. Hello Kitty) then it might be considered as weird to boys. Although, I haven't gave a f*ck.

In the 2000s, swinging your hands while walking was gay. You had to put your hands in your pockets. The social attitudes of the 2000s were just nasty.


I remember people in middle school saying that you were gay if you wore the color purple because it represented Barney "the gay dinosaur". Yet nobody would say anything if you wore pink since they said tuff guys wear pink. How about your sports teams colored purple like LSU Tigers, Minnesota Vikings, or LA Lakers? I also hated it when people would play a game at the lunch table with their phones and would load up inappropriate photos on google images and tried to show it to you, and the rule was that if you accidentally looked at the bad or inappropriate photo you'd either be called "straight" or "gay" depending on what it was. I also hated it when gossip or rumors are spread around the school about a person who's being made fun of, and people are like "you don't ever talk to this person, and you don't ever put your eye on him, otherwise, you become gay and we don't talk to you no more." Every little thing caused people to get homophobic, and it made me homophobic for a while until I had to learn the hard way early in high school.

I agree with this.  The early 2000s is when the homophobia started to get a lot worse.  It was the absolute worst in the mid 2000s, when I was in college.  The LGBT community at that time was starting to become more visible everywhere and I think the macho male culture was part of mainstream pop culture's backlash against it.  I am also sure hip-hop didn't help much.  The electropop era was when people finally started becoming more relaxed about things like sexuality and the stereotyping really started to decrease.

Probably because you didn't start middle school until 2010. I didn't even know what the word gay was until I entered middle school in 2007, that's how irrelevant young kids care about that stuff throughout their peak innocent childhood in elementary school. Throughout the whole 2000's decade middle school and high school students had to go through hearing all the gay jokes and insults. Sadly, the people who were making fun of folks gay or homosexual ended up becoming homophobic themselves at some point, some even had family issues and took that stuff seriously.

Welp, I'm from Georgia. That explains it all according to you. By the way, as a younger millennial people still used the word "gay" harshly throughout my middle school days from late 2007-early 2010.

I didn't notice or remember any of that stuff. But there is no question LGBT is wayyy more accepted in the 10's than the 00's, which is definitely a positive thing about the 10's.

Yeah it was not good to be wearing bright colours in the mid-2000s. Purple, orange and yellow were off limits. I remember we had this other game called "the circle game". People would lift one leg up,  put their fingers in an O-shape (like you were saying things are a-okay), and put their hand below their leg. If you looked down and saw the "O", you were looking at an asshole, and you were gay, and the other person was allowed to beat you up. I took it lightly though, it was a pretty fun game ;D

;D I don't really know any other word for the way men sit with their legs apart, so I used manspreading.


This too, almost all of my friends and acquaintances had their legs wide apart when sitting in their desk throughout middle school or high school. The key to being called "gay" was doing anything that seemed common for a female.

I'm still stuck in the 00's. I wear a lot of dark black and baggy clothes and listen to early Eminem a lot.

Yeah, that sounds about right. The mid-2000s when I was in middle school was by far the roughest, the late 2000s (when I was in high school) were improving but it wasn't until the really late 2000s when I felt like I didn't have to worry about my micro-movements.

Maybe I'm okay with being born in late 1999 because of that. I mean, I would rather be a 2000s teen because I'm miserable of this decade's pop culture, but that just startles me. I'll probably be okay with hiding my interests over Hello Kitty if I was one back in the late 2000s, but I don't know if it would help me. I know what being gay was back in elementary school, but not in the same way I understand now.

I'm still stuck in the 00's. I wear a lot of dark black and baggy clothes and listen to early Eminem a lot.


I wish I was stuck in the 2000s. The pop culture in this decade just makes me miserable every day.

For me it's when I started my freshman year of high school when that slowly calmed down. My first year of cross country, meeting new people in classes, and I learned why some people couldn't help it growing up as a "gay" person, and from that point on I was no longer homophobic. Although I've always been straight though.

I didn't notice or remember any of that stuff. But there is no question LGBT is wayyy more accepted in the 10's than the 00's, which is definitely a positive thing about the 10's.


Although, I would agree with that, but I don't think it's fully acceptable to be gay in this decade. If you been in the South, where almost everyone is homophobic, you're pretty much f*cked if you were gay.

One thing I like about the '10s is the greater acceptance of individualism and the decline of the homophobic "macho male" culture that prevailed throughout most of the 2000s.  In the '00s, you could be called gay for something as simple as ordering a craft beer instead of a Budweiser.  If you were male and had any sense of fashion you were considered gay, unless you were emo.  The more I think about it, the more I remember how much that any self-respecting heterosexual guy could NOT do during the 2000s that has nothing to do with sexuality at all, all because it was seen as gay.  Couldn't order a strawberry lemonade or any fruity cocktail.  Couldn't listen to anything but hip-hop or rock (dance/techno was a HUGE no-no and boy bands were even worse).  All clothes had to be 2 sizes too large, because clothes that fit were gay.  It was very difficult to remain secure in your sexuality last decade.  I am really glad most of that has gone by the wayside.

Yes, when people get more relaxed about the whole gay thing, it not only helps gay people, but also straight people relax more in what they do.

manspreading

Such a stupid word. OK, there are guys almost splitting their legs, but in general, if I sit in total rest, my legs will go outwards automatically.

This is correct.  If you were even suspected of being gay, nobody wanted anything to do with you.  I envy '90s-borns coming of age in this decade where it is okay to be a little bit different.


I envy those a few years younger than me as well. When I see people on here wishing they were Jordan's age or wishing they were born in the late 70s, I'm screaming hell no! inside. ;D I think my teenage years would have gone much better if I were born 10 years later, and not spending my teen years in the 2000s. Although, if I were that young, I wouldn't be able to appreciate how good I have it.

Although, I would agree with that, but I don't think it's fully acceptable to be gay in this decade. If you been in the South, where almost everyone is homophobic, you're pretty much f*cked if you were gay.


It isn't fully acceptable, but its better than it was in the 2000s.  In my area, you don't want to be open and out of the closet because homophobia is still a big problem here. What has really changed however is the hysteria straight people had regarding "appearing" gay.  I know some guys I graduated high school with who haven't moved on from that culture, but most people today won't object to going to the movies or a nice restaurant with a male friend, or wearing clothes that fit or ordering a craft beer or glass of wine.  Heterosexual guys wouldn't have been okay with that in the mid 2000s.  Most people no longer use "gay" as an insult, except for the jocks who are now 29 and 30 and haven't mentally moved past high school.

If you come out of the closet though and actually admit to being gay, it is still a problem in many parts of the country.

I wish I was stuck in the 2000s. The pop culture in this decade just makes me miserable every day.


The best part about the 2010's are the mainstream movies and TV shows. It keeps getting better and better. Music is still ok for me but hit or miss.

The political, lifestyle and worldly culture with Donald Trump, the riots, shootings by the police, ISIS, gun control, social media always growing & becoming more sensitive each day, etc. are the worst things about the 2010's.

I actually miss the early 2010's a lot more than I thought I would, but I'd still take the late 2000's any day over late 2014-present.

I still see the words 'f*****' and 'gay' tossed around YouTube comments sections pretty liberally. I know that's basically the underbelly of the Internet, but it does show there are still a lot of ignorant, prejudiced people out there, if Donald Trump's popularity wasn't already enough of an indication.

That's the point I've been making to people. Even in this decade, it isn't that acceptable being gay in the United States. Especially when Republican candidates are willing to ban same-sex marriage again.

You guys are lucky you do not go to a all-guys Catholic High School.  ::) We still use some of that language even "gay" a little bit(and stylize it instead of "gay" its "gey"), though it seems like this senior class will be the last people to really be all about that, so goodie! :) There is a bit of a creepy undertone of homo-eroticism though.  :o Though I am not gay myself I am glad that using that word is phasing out with the seniors and a bit of the juniors. :)

I can tell you that even where I am, we are much more open to discussing many things, politics, the world and many other things. You are no longer considered gay for talking about your feelings a little bit(Kairos which I will go to  next year really helps with that as I have heard everyone even the macho cool guys cries by the end of it. Its a three day retreat where you open up to everyone.) The social cliques have relaxed a bit though they are still prevalent, you can sit down at any table pretty much.

That's true, but I was sitting on a narrow stairwell, so I put my legs close together so I don't get in the way of traffic. But apparently that was a "gay" thing to do.

I still see the words 'f*****' and 'gay' tossed around YouTube comments sections pretty liberally. I know that's basically the underbelly of the Internet, but it does show there are still a lot of ignorant, prejudiced people out there, if Donald Trump's popularity wasn't already enough of an indication.


I don't read YouTube comments mostly, so I haven't noticed this much fortunately. More reason to stay away.

However, in positive news, the usage of the word has decreased significantly on Twitter over the years.

Well we all know how toxic the youtube comments can be. I'd never look at those when I'm searching for good discussions since nearly all the users bring a whole new meaning to the word 'immature'. But yes over millions of people go on Youtube. Whether I think the community is toxic or not doesn't remove the fact that we still have tons of ignorant/prejudice people in this world. It's not even on just Youtube either. Even in real life I've met people who're like this.

I use a Google Chrome Plugin that removes the comment section. That way whenever I scroll down all I'd see is a blank space. The video, the related video section, name and everything thing else is still there. But no comment section. Trust me when I say that it has made Youtube 100 times better to the point where I don't think I'd ever remove the plugin.

And I'm happy that the use of the word has declined over the years.

It seems that there wasn't much homophobia here in the west back in the mid 2000s. None of my friends or anyone I knew were tossing those two words back and forth. Heck, we even listened to R&B and female singers at that time as well and not one person was criticized for their choice music.

I don't know if this will help, but I attended a middle school that was predominantly Caucasian and I (nor anyone else I knew) didn't witness much homophobia at all.

The best part about the 2010's are the mainstream movies and TV shows.


Well... I do like some mainstream movies from this decade. The TV shows are at least great. They could be similar to popular ones in the 2000s. But I wouldn't be nostalgic over them in the future.

It keeps getting better and better. Music is still ok for me but hit or miss.

The only songs I liked from the core 2010s were "I Love It" by Icona Pop, and "Sorry" by Justin Bieber. But I do respect for the fact that they're mostly hit or miss.

The political, lifestyle and worldly culture with Donald Trump, the riots, shootings by the police, ISIS, gun control, social media always growing & becoming more sensitive each day, etc. are the worst things about the 2010's.



True.


I actually miss the early 2010's a lot more than I thought I would, but I'd still take the late 2000's any day over late 2014-present.


Yeah. Even though the late 2000s were dominated by George W. Bush, I would take it over the mid 2010s.

I guess it was very different in the West Coast. I for one, barely heard of anybody calling people gay in New York. However, I didn't experience middle school until 2010, so I probably missed the homophobic culture back then.

I'm from the West Coast and I distinctly remember people at my school still using gay slurs as late as 12th grade (2010-2011).

Well okay. They were still homophobic in the early 2010s, especially in the same year I attended middle school in 6th grade. But it's not like people are entirely friendly over homosexuals at this day and age.

I'm not sure about that. Prop 8 passed in California in 2008. I lived in a different country, but I was still devastated by the results. As for day to day living, I can't really comment but it might be better to get an actual gay person's input. I know a lot of Canadians who think homophobia died in 2003/2005 and that we were super enlightened long before that, but that is a complete whitewashing of history. Homophobia is still a thing to an extent,  to this very day. If you watch some movies like "Friends With Benefits" (terrible movie, released 2011), you can see that calling a character "gay" can be a way to emasculate someone. Basically the character is artsy and everyone calls him gay so he doesn't get any girlfriends. Most straight people wouldn't even notice that, but if you're gay you become hyper aware of these things.

I'm not sure about that. Prop 8 passed in California in 2008. I lived in a different country, but I was still devastated by the results.

Proposition 8 was actually the main factor that got me aware of LGBT politics. Up until the Yes on 8 commercials appearing on tv and especially the initiative passing, I didn't realize there was still such an embarrassing level of discrimination against gay people. Though I already knew I was trans for a few years, I didn't know much about gays or their place in society until that point; I actually attended a wedding in 2004 for my lesbian aunt with my family, so it seemed like it should be taken for granted that people of the same sex can fall in love and live together. But regardless, the upset passage of Prop 8 was pretty much what galvanized the LGBT movement into the productive juggernaut it has been in the 2010s because it opened so many eyes, not just my own.

I was living in Santa Cruz during the 2010-2011 school year, and kid were still using gay slurs there as well.

Even though I was in middle school during the 2010-2011 school year, I never witnessed any anti-gay comments. Maybe it wasn't popular towards mid-late 2000s kids where I live.

That's really fascinating. I don't even live in the US, but I also remember Prop 8 getting heavy air time on the news in Canada, and it was a popular social media topic among kids in my class (like how Cecil the tiger became a hot topic, so did Prop 8). It was around that time I noticed homophobia becoming uncool and being progressive became trendy. It really opened up people's eyes to the plight of the LGBT community. I also agree with you that it was exactly at that moment when the LGBT rights movement kicked into hyperdrive, with a lot more activist feet on the ground. In 2010, Prop 8 was struck down and Don't Ask Don't Tell was repealed a few weeks later, the dominoes were starting to fall.

Yeah, that was awful when it passed. I remember watching the news when the anchorpeople announced it. It basically set us back to square one. It was weird since California is a liberal state. Maybe because there was Republican president ast the time.

I'm not saying that no one was was barely using those slurs. Yes, there was still homophobia as did I hear it and it was negative, but it really wasn't as bad like in the south.

If you guys want to know, when I was in 7th grade, I was asked by someone on the bus if I was gay of if I liked guys (probably he witnessed me doing certain things that would perceive a person non-straight) and I unknowingly said yes.

I noticed this as well. As soon as those laws were gone, there began to be more acceptance. Oh and at my HS, there was a club for the LGBT and one of the days throughout the year they had a silence day where they would acknowledge those who have been  criticized for being LGBT.

Do you also think the music being electro-pop and the fashion being colorful changed the attitudes regarding LGBT?

Prop 8 vote took place on the same day as the 2008 election actually. It's so strange to think the same day that so many Democrats came out to vote for Obama, many also ticked off yes to outlawing same sex marriage.

My school had a gay straight alliance club. We didn't have a day of silence, but we did have "Day of Pink" where you wear a pink shirt to school, after a kid was bullied at school for wearing pink one day in the eastern part of Canada.

I think the acceptance of gay rights came first and then electropop and colourful fashion followed.

I don't read YouTube comments mostly, so I haven't noticed this much fortunately. More reason to stay away.

http://www.nohomophobes.com/#!/all-time/


It seems like most of the Youtube comments are dominated by teenagers. I've noticed this, because I remember commenting on Youtube back in 2008 & 2009 always feeling like the youngest one for awhile watching every Youtube video, whether it was a tag video, rant video, tutorial video, video gameplay, or nostalgic video. Now since I've graduated high school up to now I feel like the oldest one looking at Youtube comments. I think a lot of it depends on what you follow too. It seems like all of the college students spend time posting on blogs/websites like these or other mature sites instead of posting on Youtube with all the immaturity.

I'm from the West Coast and I distinctly remember people at my school still using gay slurs as late as 12th grade (2010-2011).


This.

but I'm on the east coast and in the south in Georgia so it was worse here of course.

Yeah, that was awful when it passed. I remember watching the news when the anchorpeople announced it. It basically set us back to square one. It was weird since California is a liberal state. Maybe because there was Republican president ast the time.

It was a close call, and a lot of people who voted yes did so on accident, but I think one of the key reasons the initiative passed is because a lot of California's liberal voter base is Hispanic, and while they tend to be economically progressive, a fair number of them are also catholic traditionalists who don't support things like same-sex marriage or abortions, even if they're registered Democrats. They're still way more open-minded than white southerners, and they've become a lot more progressive on LGBT issues in the past several years, but there definitely hasn't historically been the same foundation for LGBT movements within the Hispanic American community as there has for middle-upper class urban whites.

The city of Santa Ana, for example, had one of the highest turnouts for Barack Obama in Orange County, yet it also said yes on Prop 8 by 61.82% (they also had the highest yes percentage for the abortion-inhibiting Proposition 4); conversely, Newport Beach, a heavily affluent, white city, has generally tended to vote among the most heavily in favor of Republicans in the county, yet it also came alarmingly close to voting no on Prop 8, with only 51.52% of the population saying yes (they did vote no on Prop 4), higher only than Laguna Beach, Aliso Viejo, Irvine, Dana Point, and Costa Mesa in Orange County. Even some of the non-coastal suburban cities in Orange County, like Mission Viejo and Lake Forrest, voted more liberally on these initiatives than the predominantly Hispanic Santa Ana did. It's ironic that in many cases in California, the rich, stuffy, suburban Republicans have voted more progressively on social issues than the Democratic minority class, something that would not be the case in a state like Texas (excluding Austin). San Diego is pretty similar; wealthy suburbs like Scripps Ranch, Carlsbad, and Carmel Valley have voted far more liberally on gay marriage than the South Bay, which has a particularly high concentration of Hispanics, even though urban areas like North Park and Mission Hills, as well as parts of the North County Coast like Leucadia and Del Mar, are far more socially progressive still.

Ahhhh nice! And that's what it was called here as well.

And that's great. A day of pink would be a good idea here as well. That way, one for silence and one for pink.


;D ;D ;D

Yeah, at least we killed it about 2 years later in 2010 and have gotten back on track especially with LGBT marriage being legal since last year.

And yeah, it was embarrassing  ;D. Oh also with regarding music, I listened to plenty of female artists back in the mid '00s such as Rihanna, Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, Shakira, Mariah Carey, and the singer Jojo and I wasn't afraid at all  :) ;D

That's true especially since most of the Hispanic population is here in this state. I have many friends who are Hispanic and they are definitely Catholics. As for the issues like abortion, I'm sure they're against it as some of them already have kids and would not trade them over for something better.

Now for your second statement, that's really weird. Despite this state being liberal, we seem to be in reverse with some issues compared to the south.

Of course there is still homophobia, just like there is still racism. I'm not sure these two types of bigotry can be compared though.

I can definitely see homophobia still huge, even in a year like 1995. Even the late 1990's was just the beginning of gays being accepted. Remember Ellen DeGeneres coming out in 1997? People were a bit cruel to her.

I remember GLBTS, etc, type groups being available at my brother's high school in the early 00's, like around 2002. I remember as the early 00's became the mid-00's, there were even more GLBTS groups being formed.

And the Matthew Shepard murder of 1998 is pretty scary stuff. I do feel that by the mid-00s, homosexuality is more acceptable than even in a year like 1999. Crazy how just a few years can make such a difference.

The funny thing is, I would still feel more comfortable in general, even as a lesbian, during the 2000s and maybe even the 90s, just for the fact that I would connect far better with others over just about everything else besides my sexuality. I'd rather be denied the right to marriage and have a fair number of people being openly uncomfortable with me, so long as I had a small trusting few who I got along well with, than to have the right to marry yet hardly anybody to really connect with on a personal level and thus nobody to marry anyway.

It's a lot like what JordanK1982 has said about the 1980s - the decade may have had a conformist facade, but there were still vibrant underground niche communities that weren't ruined by social media; it's very different from the 2010s, which profess themselves to be diverse yet are technically the most conformist time in several decades.

The 2010s will only be the greatest to me if I see 3T perform live, be able to fit into my micro-mini skirt and get my picture taken with Taryll Jackson without having an asthma attack.

Oh yeah, and Bernie Sanders becomes president over that loudmouthed man with the horrible tan.  ::)

He's going to get slaughtered in Arizona. I love Bernie, but I think my love for short campaigns wins out. He should have dropped out last week :P

Why do you feel like you would have connected with others better in the 2000s?

It felt like there were more vibrant centers of expression, with online forums being far more popular than social media. Back in the 2000s, I was able to connect with others easily despite my starkly unique interests, thanks to active online communities that supported them. For DDR, I visited DDR Freak, DDREvolved, and Bemanistyle; for eurobeat music, I went to Eurobeat Prime. These websites are either now defunct or significantly less active, and it's hard to find many other forums like them where big ideas are actually embraced as opposed to groupthink social media centers. The mere fact that I still spend most of my online activity on an Internet board like this instead of Twitter or Instagram shows just how old school I am when it comes to the web.

Additionally, music and video games were a lot more diverse in the 2000s, not to mention social attitudes were mostly still pretty laid-back and not overly politically correct. There were still a fair number of video games and songs/albums that I was interested in during the 2000s or that I could connect with others over, though more so during the first half of the decade. Nowadays, everybody seems interested in the same junk, or at least predominantly stuff I have little interest in.

The constant use of homophobic slurs, especially by bros and jocks, was unfortunate, but at least you could still very much find your wonderland, even if you were a social outcast.

I feel like its the same for every decade since the 1980s
The Seven Stages of Decade Nostalgia
Stage 1: During the Decade we all hate it and look back on "the good old days"
Stage 2: Right after the decade there is a bit of backlash against the trends and new pop culture is established
Stage 3: A few years removed we start getting kind of nostalgic but not with overwhelmingly rosy glasses.
Stage 4: 5-10 years after the decade we start looking at the nostalgia in very rosy glasses.
Stage 5: Nostalgia becomes mainstream, "oh those were the days", "Dont you remember the N64, that was so much better than the XBOX 360!", "I want to go back to the 90s". Impacts the decades fashion slightly
Stage 6: The media plays into the nostalgia and everyone starts getting tired of the nostalgia, starts declining.
Stage 7: Whatever decade we were looking back on with rosy glasses becomes a distant memory, and with this we can look back on the decade with the best hindsight, a new decade nostalgia overtakes the older decade.

In 5-10 years we will look back on the 2010s with rosy glasses.

I think that has more to do with DDR dying out, rather than communities of that type dying out. This isn't the only forum I go on, there are actually two other ones I go on.  Though I can see what you mean with becoming less active. There's a possible chance that some have moved on to Reddit. Now I personally hate Reddit because I hate the stupid upvote system, and most the site is cancerous IMO, but it could be possible that the community moved there and that is why those forums you listed are less active, and Reddit is a good way for niche subcommunities to form.

I see what you mean about the video games/music. Some of the genres in the 2000s were better and possible non-existent in the 2010s. Although, in terms of video games, since I'm a huge Nintendo fanboy and we're becoming ever so rarer, whenever I take my 3DS out in public or see someone else playing one, I regularly get caught up in conversation with strangers talking about Nintendo things.  :o Although I can see from your perspective as a DDR fangirl, there aren't really as many people playing that game these days.

5 years from now will probably be the 2010s backlash! ;D I think 15-20 years is probably more like it. ;)

Need to make time for poetry and hair straightening class.


First class: Poetry for Hacks
Second class: MySpace for Dweebs
No lunch because too depressed so sit inside and be a bitch about the world
Third class: Hair dye for Dorks
Forth class: Tight Pants for Wimps


In the 2000s, swinging your hands while walking was gay. You had to put your hands in your pockets. The social attitudes of the 2000s were just nasty.


What universe did you guys live for the 2000s to be this bad!? I do not remember XXL clothing after 2003. Loose sh!tty faded jeans, yes but not anything too baggy like 90s-2003.


I hate that word man spreading, if I want to spread my legs then I will do so wherever and I don't care if my zipper is open.


Me too. It's just my way of showing my dominance as king of the animal kingdom over the cretins. If my zipper is open it's because I have the privileges the lowly peasants do not. 


I'm still stuck in the 00's. I wear a lot of dark black and baggy clothes and listen to early Eminem a lot.


I wish I was stuck in the 2000s. The pop culture in this decade just makes me miserable every day.


The only 00's I'm stuck in are 2000/2001/2002. Not even real 00's years.


I envy those a few years younger than me as well. When I see people on here wishing they were Jordan's age or wishing they were born in the late 70s, I'm screaming hell no! inside. ;D I think my teenage years would have gone much better if I were born 10 years later, and not spending my teen years in the 2000s. Although, if I were that young, I wouldn't be able to appreciate how good I have it.


Dude, my teen years were sick. I would love to live in 1995-2002 forever.

Damn right! Howard's gonna kick some ass!

Fashion didn't really start to slim down until 2007/2008 (with it becoming skinny in 2009/2010). 2005 was supper baggy, not even women wore tight jeans that year.

What the f*ck did you just f*cking say about me, you little b*tch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the f*ck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my f*cking words. You think you can get away with saying that sh*t to me over the Internet? Think again, f*cker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re f*cking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little sh*t. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your f*cking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will sh*t fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re f*cking dead, kiddo.

That doesn't look super baggy at all. Relaxed, yes but not XXXXXXXL like maybe even two years before. Hell, that one guy has the super wings haircut, too! Those are normal fitted women's jeans for sure and they all have that generic Mean Girls look (with less pink). 

It's so bland that I could tell it was 2005 and 2006 from a mile away!

Dude, it's so much slimmer than the early 00's. Early 00's were all about XXXXXXL dickies and shirts that go down to your elbows. This is the Nu Metal era. Compared to 2000-2002, 2005 slimmed down a lot.

Also, that video is very educational. I did not know where babies had come from until now.

Do you remember low rise jeans? Are they popular anymore?

Straight guys couldn't stop staring in the mid-2000s. Yoga jeans don't have anything on this.

Sagging pants for guys was also popular, even among white guys.

Yep, I definitely do. I remember low rise jeans being more of a provocative club fashion than anything else. Outside of clubs, I don't remember being them that common (maybe in the mid 00's they got more popular but I don't seeing them everywhere in 2000-2002). I don't think they've been popular since the late 00's.

Yeah, but it's not as common in 2005 anymore. There are more wings haircuts. 2005 is a lot less baggy than the early 00s! You did not have baggy dickies being worn anymore.

It totally was! The crotch to waist space was too long to be low rise jeans. :P

Since it's cool and edgy. I'm going to do it too.  ;D

Probably because you didn't start middle school until 2010. I didn't even know what the word gay was until I entered middle school in 2007, that's how irrelevant young kids care about that stuff throughout their peak innocent childhood in elementary school. Throughout the whole 2000's decade middle school and high school students had to go through hearing all the gay jokes and insults. Sadly, the people who were making fun of folks gay or homosexual ended up becoming homophobic themselves at some point, some even had family issues and took that stuff seriously.

Honestly, Nas's Hip Hop is Dead from 2006 was when I first understood gay was. ;D ;D ;D  It's only because I misunderstood the lyrics. ;D ;D ;D ;D

The best part about the 2010's are the mainstream movies and TV shows. It keeps getting better and better. Music is still ok for me but hit or miss.

The political, lifestyle and worldly culture with Donald Trump, the riots, shootings by the police, ISIS, gun control, social media always growing & becoming more sensitive each day, etc. are the worst things about the 2010's.

I actually miss the early 2010's a lot more than I thought I would, but I'd still take the late 2000's any day over late 2014-present.

This.... :D

It totally was! The crotch to waist space was too long to be low rise jeans. :P


I wear my jeans like that sometimes if my shirt is long. It's not sagging unless your butt is showing.

I feel like the 10's are darker than the 00's. But that's probably because I was a kid in the 00's so it felt more upbeat.

It depends on what part of the 00s you're talking about. But yeah, the recent 2010s are MUCH darker than the late 00s; that's for sure. And they're even darker than the early-mid 00s.

Nah, even if it's a little below the waist. As long as you see the underwears, it's saggin (taggin... baggin... raggin... ).

I remember a lot of tuff Pop Punkers sagged their dickies in the early 00s. I never did, though. I thought it was stupid.

Exactly. You couldn't see that kids underwear if he put his shirt down. Not sagging. He's a kool Y2K era kid, quit hatin'.

2003-2006 were the most somber parts of the new millennium to me. From the Iraq War to the Israel-Lebanon war and the Madrid train bombings, "Operation Iraqi Freedom", 2004 election, Asian Tsunami, London bombings, South Asian earthquake in between. I made a post about this in another thread, I'll look for it. The 2010s are more angry rather than afraid, like the 2000s are.

Edit: yeah, these are my thoughts on 2003-2007


Back in the day, I thought the mid 00s were pretty upbeat to me.... as a black boy! We had the housing market bubble, crank and snap rap, over the top funny comedies, etc. The VERY late 00s felt the most somber to me;( probably because I was in late grade school); but the economy went to sheesh, MJ died, my Rams REALLY sucked during this time as well. The 2000s ended on a VERY low note to me!

No, because the pants are below the underwear stretchy waist so it's still sagging. That kid is most definitely not cool; reading is interview answers made me wanna punch the dweeb in the face. He was born in 1994 which means he wouldn't understand 1998-2002 like someone older, wiser and more mature would.

All the wars, high oil prices, natural disasters in the mid-2000s made me depressed, it felt like every time I turned the news on there would be hundreds of more dead people. I can see why you find the mid-2010s depressing, but really these social problems existed in the 2000s as well, they're only on the forefront of people's minds because social media and camera phones made it easy to expose police brutality, which resulted in public anger we see today. It's wrong to say police brutality and racism didn't exist in the 2000s though.

edit: oh wait I remember you said you lived in Missouri. Do you go to the Missouri University?

But you couldn't see his underwear if he put his shirt down, so like you said, it's not sagging if you can't see the underwear. 1994 kids are kool. Justin Bieber is kool.

1994 kids are N64 kids so they are kool. You never even played Banjo-Kazooie

In case I have to lift things/stretch/bend over, I don't want any skin to show, so I put my underwear above my pants. I learnt my lesson in my v-necks vicks moisturizer era when a teacher told to hang a poster on the high wall, I stretched out a bit, and let's just say a lot of girls wanted to talk to me that day.

Well, you didn't play Pokémon then! If you don't know the first 151 Pokémon then you didn't have a childhood, you retroactively did not exist.

It doesn't matter because 2010's fashion looks like grandpas anyway. I bet more girls wanted to talk to me than whoever wanted to talk to you. ;)

Pokemon's the stupidest thing ever. How do you guys play that crap?? No way, dude. You can't say that to me as I am the older one. If you did not grow up with the NES/Super NES and Degrassi, you retroactively did not exist.

Grandpa always looked classy. It was dad in the disco who ruined fashion.

Pokémon is the greatest kid fad to have ever existed. Jelly? I played NES, but Atari was better tbh. I caught Degrassi on reruns. 1994 kids had it better.

Not my grandpa. He looks like a goofball. He tells me I look stupid but I don't think he's ever looked at himself in the mirror.

Not really. Pokemon was super lame. You think the Atari is better than the NES!?!?! The best thing about Atari is the band it inspired! 1994 kids grew up in a garbage post-2003 world.

That's you. You're a full communist. Maybe if you stopped being stubborn and agreed with the facts I preach then you will be freed from Richard's scummy soviet hands.

If you're grandpa dresses like the dudes on the first page then he's 10/10.

Pokémon was the greatest, everybody knows Pikachu and Herman Cain used the Pokémon theme song for his campaign not the TMNT one. Facts. I had both an NES and an Atari, but I preferred the Atari it had great SHMUPs.

1994 kids are young adults in the 2010s, which means they are happier on average than someone born 1982.  8) 94ers are the same age now in sweet 2016 as you were in lame 2004 :P

The 2010s are only better than 2004 by a 0.5 margin. 2016 isn't glorious like 1996 is. ;) 2004 is lame, though. 2000/2001/2002 for life.


Preach!!!! :D  Even though I'm a 95er. ;)


No! Don't encourage him!

My grandpa would totally say that because he's arrogant as all living hell. He thinks he's the greatest thing than sliced bread and that he's never wrong. I don't get the guy.

Pokemon is for wimps. Real men watched Beavis and Butthead.

1994ers watched early 2000s Family Guy LOL

I'm pretty sure he was. I dunno how old he is, either! I'm also certain it was during the dark ages, though. He's so set in his ways it isn't even funny.

They were too young for it! They were 5-9 when it came out. Too young. Besides, nobody watched Family Guy until 2005.

You said your grandpa liked pop culture until 1980 right? Probably younger than sliced bread then. Oldies hate rock and roll lol.

I started watching Family Guy in 2003 when Dragon Ball GT came on. I started watching Teletoons instead which had The Detour (adult swim) at that time slot. There was The Oblongs, Family Guy and Futurama. My 1994 born brother watched it then too. Damn, that makes him more Xtreme than you. He watched Family Guy before you did.  8)

Huh? I watched a few Family Guy episodes pre-cencellation, though. Like, in 1999. Still, nobody watched it until 2005. Futurama was much better so I watched more of that. 8)

Dragon Ball GT came on, it was lame, so we watched Family Guy instead :P

Early 2000s Family Guy > Futurama > Beavis & Butthead imo.

okay I haven't watched Beavis and Butthead

Dude, no. Futurama kicked so much ass they had to cancel it in 2003 because it was to good for the sh!tty real 00's (though they did bring it back because of early 00s nostalgia).

What are you doing!? Do yourself a favor and watch Beavis and Butthead! It is the greatest show ever created!!!

I haven't watched the newer episodes. There was no early 2000s nostalgia in 2008 though, everyone was #done with the 2000s in 2008.

It's not on Netflix.

The early 00's =/= the 2000's.

Watch it for free on the web. ;)

It depends on what part of the 00s you're talking about. But yeah, the recent 2010s are MUCH darker than the late 00s; that's for sure. And they're even darker than the early-mid 00s.


Politically, they are darker than the 2000s. Especially with this year's election. I know that the 2000s could be defined with George Bush Jr's presidency, but the economy was alright for most of it (2001-2006/7).

And now there is another terrorist attack in Brussels.  :( >:(

This is why the 2010s are both great and horribly dark at the same time.

For once I agree with this old fart. Slowpoke watch Beavis and Butthead it's one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Yep, it's being reported on almost every channel, it's interrupting regularly scheduled programs.

5 years from now will probably be the 2010s backlash! ;D I think 15-20 years is probably more like it. ;)

I meant that as 5-10 years after the 2010s  ;)

I hope that the decade gets better than it is right now.

Yep, it's being reported on almost every channel, it's interrupting regularly scheduled programs.

Yup, I am in school but I am still hearing about it everywhere.... 31 dead, 187 injured....  :\'(

I read this yesterday, the article was published yesterday..... and how foreshadowing could it get?

I'd say the economy 2013 and onward has been decent as well. 2011 onward in Canada, the oil price rebound helped


And now there is another terrorist attack in Brussels.  :( >:(

This is why the 2010s are both great and horribly dark at the same time.


That's awful :( I'll concede the 2010s are worse in Europe. Whenever I turn on the French news, I have to cognitively disassociate as much as possible because otherwise I get depressed. Terrorist attacks, rise of fascism, Euro crisis, refugee influx, François Hollande etc. The news over there is rarely positive, and this attack isnt helping :(

;D I don't really know any other word for the way men sit with their legs apart, so I used manspreading.


That's a good way to describe it.

This too, almost all of my friends and acquaintances had their legs wide apart when sitting in their desk throughout middle school or high school. The key to being called "gay" was doing anything that seemed common for a female.


So a woman can't woman spread?

And now there is another terrorist attack in Brussels.  :( >:(

I really just worry about the horribly dark stuff. I know the 2000s had similar reports, but it wasn't that serious compared to now.

I am straight and I think this is an awful fashion! Pull ya pants up!!

Jesus, sagging has been popular for over 20 years... :o



They're afraid of someone coming from behind and pulling their pants all the way down.

I meant that as 5-10 years after the 2010s  ;)

I hope that the decade gets better than it is right now.


I just hope the backlashes are true. This decade has been a living hell for pop culture, politics, and my personal life.

I am the creamy center of an Oreo? That's the best part. ;)

It doesn't matter because 2010's fashion looks like grandpas anyway. I bet more girls wanted to talk to me than whoever wanted to talk to you. ;)

Pokemon's the stupidest thing ever. How do you guys play that crap?? No way, dude. You can't say that to me as I am the older one. If you did not grow up with the NES/Super NES and Degrassi, you retroactively did not exist.

What's the difference?


;D

Yep, it's being reported on almost every channel, it's interrupting regularly scheduled programs.


I noticed it this morning!  ::)

I love streaming and subscription services. I know they get a lot of hate on this forum, but $5/mo for Spotify, $9/mo for Netflix, and $22/mo for Audible is really all I need for my entertainment purposes, and the selection is terrific.

Netflix and Spotify are the best!

I'm always ready to update my Spotify playlist every month based off the billboard charts or non-mainstream/alternative music that are really good.

I just finished rewatching Young Justice on Netflix and I've finished seasons 1-5 of The Walking Dead on there too.

A bit nerdy, but I love Spotify's public API. Easy to listen to a lot of new songs thanks to it. For example, look at this artist discovery tool https://artistexplorer.spotify.com/

You type an artist, it gives you similar artists, and you can add that artist's top 5 popualar songs to sample them

I think I have had a better experience this decade than you have (you are around the same age as me as well so we have similar experiences.) 2011-2013 were years of great change and hardship, especially 2013. 2014-present has been an improvement. 2014 was the best year of the decade for me. 2015 was the third and 2016 so far has been very good.

I sort of hope there is a backlash against the PC culture that has been prevalent since 2013, it is getting to the point were it is getting very annoying. The pop culture improved a bit in 2015 but still, not as good as some of decades past.

I like both Pokémon and 'Beavis...', can I be a hybrid??


Sure! If you want to. :P

I just don't understand how some people can bash streaming services. I'll take Netflix, Hulu Plus, or even Amazon Prime any day over paying for cable or satellite every month just to watch the same channels constantly re-run the same five movies all the time.

Seriously TNT, The Dark Knight is one of my all-time favorite movies, but do we really need to see it again two times every weekend? ::)

Men's Rights 2016!!!


;D What about women's rights?

you know what, i think i was a bit more negative in the beginning. i didn't seem to like the 2010s at first. the music was not that great and it was like a weirder version of the 2000s. but now in 2016 it doesn't feel that bad actually :P and i feel that the years ahead will be even more turbulent and exciting as there are many tensions picking up. i know that sounds vague but with the rise of donald trump and globalism some very interesting times ahead..

based on what i remember growing up, however, the 90s were still the best. they were a very prosperous decade and laid back, fun, etc.

I love free streaming.

Because sometimes google can be really inaccurate, even the GPS on my phone too. There were many times when the GPS on my phone led me to the wrong place, a more dangerous route, or took the longer way when I knew a shorter way to get to my destination.

I only watch free streaming because of the wrestling.

I always prefer physical copies as I prefer tangible products to digital ones. I'd prefer to have a physical book, game, or movie instead of a digital ebook, downloaded game or streamed movie.

I have a feeling the late 2010's will improve culturally. I don't know why but I just have a feeling. I think it will be more upbeat and we may see more of that late 90s/early 2000s nostalgia.

I hope people will do the 00s nostalgia and the 10s nostalgia better and more fun in the 20s and the 30s, respectively, but I hope people don't ruin the 00s and the 10s revivals in the next two decades like they've done to the 90s today, because that would make people that grew up in the first two decades of the 21st century mad.

90s nostalgia seems unpopular now. Nowadays, I would mostly see nostalgia for either the late 90s or early 2000s. That's pretty much it. I know people would disagree with me on that, since there's still people who are nostalgic for 1995 and 1996, but I care more about Internet nostalgia than mainstream nostalgia.

Well dude, you gots sh!ts like Nu Metal and Pop Punk on that list and a lot of those hip hop/RnB songs sound like the early 00s but you also got Lil Jon and the Crunk Overlords. In the middle I guess. Somewhat spirit of 1998 but moving towards the spirit of 2004.

Which songs sound early '00s and which ones sound mid '00s?

Which songs sound early '00s and which ones sound mid '00s?


Early-mid 2000s songs sound similar, to be honest. Since the mid 2000s was a transition towards pop culture, it associated more with the early 2000s.

I will taste your tears when 2021 roles around. Muahahahahahaaa!


We will have a 2010s revival in 2024 when Ted Cruz becomes president. The Internet is going to skip 2000s nostalgia to get to the real meat.

I don't think he's heard most songs on that list, and neither have I. I see Ashanti, so if you showed that to me without telling me what date it was, I could still tell you it was early 2000s. But seeing all that R&B at the charts at one time, you could tell the mid-2000s were coming in and fast. It's the early 2000s on its death bed.

90s nostalgia seems unpopular now. Nowadays, I would mostly see nostalgia for either the late 90s or early 2000s. That's pretty much it. I know people would disagree with me on that, since there's still people who are nostalgic for 1995 and 1996, but I care more about Internet nostalgia than mainstream nostalgia.


I thought mid 90s nostalgia was still in but I guess people on moving on to the late 90s/early 00s now.

I agree! How would they know the 90s if they were just kids back then??


Which songs sound early '00s and which ones sound mid '00s?



Stuff like The Ataris, Linkin Park, Trapt, Matchbox 20, Simple Plan, Kelly Clarkson, Maroon 5, Missy Elliot, Beyonce, Train and Nickelback (to name a few) all sound early 00s to me. 50 Cent doesn't sound too distinctly mid 00s (in my opinion) but he represents that era so I'd say him, Young Bloodz and Lil Jon.

Ehh, somewhat but not really. Hip Hop hadn't change it's sound much from the late 90s but most of the other genres went though big changes.

I've heard quite a bit of them but it's been years since and I'm not going to sit here and re-listen to all of them to see if they're early 00s or not.

In a way you can get an idea of what the 90s were like from the early 2000s. I mean, when I went to the rental store to go rent a movie in January 2000, it was 100% 90s movies in there.

You just need to watch a Pepsi Blue commercial and you'll learn everything you need to know about the 90s. ;)

January 2000 was when we were recently out of the 90s. So it's obvious that you'll see 90s movies.

Early '00s had tons of '90s stuff around. I remember visiting a Gamestop in 2002 and still seeing PS1 and N64 games (probably since the N64 and PS1 were still availabe in stores at the time). And most of the movies at my local blockbuster were  90's movies (whether on VHS or DVD). I'd walk into the store and see a VHS copy of A Goofy Movie on the shelves. Fashion was similar (for the most part). Sound of music was somewhat similar (depending on the genre). Tech was somewhat similar.

As for the 2010s if there is one thing that I like about this decade internet wise is the memes. Nothing more then random images with funny captains. Do to having a strange sense of humor where literally anything can make me laugh I have taken a liking to them (I have childlike humor in an adult body)

Literal toilet humor

I do hate how memes are used to advertise products to the general public, though. I'd prefer them to just stay as simple internet jokes. Now I'm not sure how everyone else feels about memes as I've actually seen a lot of people who do not like them.

I'd fashion and sound of music was 100% pretty much the same as the late 90s and tech from the late 90s was also the most popular choice for people. You know what I always say, 2000, 2001 and 2002 were pretty much a continuation of 1998 and 1999. Like a cool sip of Pepsi Blue... 8)

In Canadian politics, I really like the second half of this decade. Justin Trudeau is our Prime Minister, tuition is going to be free for low-income families starting next year, my city's mayor is urbanist and building subways, LRTs, and bus lanes. It's left-wing paradise.

edit: the best thing is that there are no elections until 2018/2019. In 2016 and 2017 I'm not reading any newspapers! I can just sit back and relax and trust that the country is in good hands.  ;D

This very much.


I like the movies and television ain't that bad. Music? It's better than mid-00s music, but it could still be a lot better.

Must not have listened to much mid-00s music if you think slothy, uninspired pop is better than conscious, creative music back then.

This decade sucks cow pies!!!

"Why the 2010s is the greatest decade"
- Greedy corporates, tumblrists, bronies

I really wished people would put more effort into this decade. The 2010's are decent, but not as good as the previous decades. The 2010's could have been better if some things turn out differently. Otherwise, I would have to wait until at least the 2020's for me to experience a great decade.

Yeah... those two groups make the reason why the 2010s are terrible as f*ck. I can't believe people are gonna be nostalgic for them in the 2030s.

We're four years near the end of the decade, so it wouldn't be a long time.

Yes, these communist PC SJW 90's nostalgic bronies from useless social media like Tumblr, Instagram, Snapchat and Vine are the ones that are ruining this decade. I hope this doesn't carry over to the 2020's and people should be nostalgic for better 2010's things such as music rather than these useless stuff in the 2030's. Had these bad things never existed, the 2010's would have been a far better decade and I would rather have true 1990's kids doing a 1990's revival in the 2010's instead of false 1990's kids who like to pretend that they hate the future.

Mid 00's and 2010's music are both for the dogs. If you ask me, it's 2000/2001/2002 where the gold is. ;)

Correct.

This decade is no better or worse than any other. The music is rubbish though.

Only hipsters, social media addicts, SJWs, cartoon fanatics (no offense to Toon, Slowpoke, and mqg96), people who corrupted YouTube, and today's kids would proudly remember the 2010s. The rest of them wouldn't give a crap.

Just to let you know, I'm not any of those things you listed, except for social media addict to an extent. Some of the cartoon stuff I talk about for fun or nostalgia purposes to entertain people.

AGREED 150% 2010 was the last year I REALLY enjoyed the current music!

Agreed. 2010 was basically when music didn't sound like electronic garbage. Although, I did like Skrillex, who went popular after 2010.

2011 was a decent year for pop. It's probably the last full year that I can actually consider "good," although 2013 isn't far behind. You had some great hits such as "The Edge of Glory," "Someone Like You," "E.T.," "Mr. Saxobeat," and even "Party Rock Anthem." It was definitely an overall step down from 2009 and 2010, however.

True.

It was a very good decade.

I could never take this thread seriously. Not only is it made too soon, no decade can really be the greatest until the results are in after if the world ends.

What a sad future we're heading towards... :-\\


It's not going to get any better.

JordanK1982 doesn't want to admit that us 2010s teens rock plaid more than the 1990s teens. Us 2010s teens rock our plaid, skinny jeans, and low top vans and are certainly better than any old 1990s teens.

I don't care. I stopped wearing plaid in 1995.

Well at least 2010s teens are more extreme than 1990s teens.
