Subject: The 1996-1997 transition was so smooth
Written By: John Titor on 10/01/18 at 2:52 pm
It wasn't jarring like the 2008 shift at all, The 1997 changes that happened all year were very smooth, prob the smoothest
transition to an era ever?

How can this question be answered? Such strange topics lately.

Agreed. 1997 was like a mid 90s and Y2K mix, and the transition was slow, not like a shift that happened in 1 day like 2006 or 2008. Music becomes more post-grunge as time passes by, Girl bands like All Saints and TLC were still popular, and kept their iconic R&B style til around 1998-2001, shows like Daria, Recess, and King of the hill are coming in, but Friends and FPOBA remain popular (ended in 1996 but some people still watched), and despite 2Pac’s death, and the fall of Gangsta Rap, Hip Hop remained popular nonetheless.
Contrast that with 2006, where it seems like it happened from one day, where you fall asleep from a world of CRT monitors, and a city full of Beyonce/Usher fans, and waking up to Flatscreen monitors and new artists like Rihanna. Technically, it didn’t happen in one day, it’s just that YouTube, FaceBook, and Twitter became popular, and 7th-Gen consoles are more bought. Hip Hop becomes faster with Snoop Dogg’s sensual seduction, and Pluto was declassified as a planet.

The flatscreen transition was far more felt over the course of the 2007-2008 period. Facebook was just barely starting to take momentum if at all in 2006. YouTube was basically another blog site back then, Skyrock-video-edition, hardly the entrainement juggernaut it later became. Twitter was nothing in '06 lol. 7th gen consoles had a slow start and only really took off in 2007. "Hip Hop becomes faster with Snoop Dogg’s sensual seduction" is nonsense.
The 2006 shift was so smooth, it's actually non-existant ;)
