I'm all for nostalgia but I think '10s culture has been a little too defined by '90s nostalgia.  I don't really want to see the '00s milked to the extent that the '90s were this decade.

I don't, period. They're going to ruin it. Haha I want 2000s nostalgia to maintain the feeling of it being underground.

2000s stuck forever in the underground......which instantly makes it better than 1990s nostalgia since it isn't splashed all over pop culture. Heck in the 2000s the 1980s nostalgia was also more underground-ish until the 2010s happened where for some reason people can't stop obsessing over the 1980s-1990s. Meanwhile I'm too busy watching 2002 Toonami videos on youtube as well as popular toy anime series like Beyblade and Digimon.  8)

I know for a fact that in the 00s Retrojunk made an article about how the "90s were better than the 00s". IN 2006!!! Also,  90s nostalgia was already a thing in MySpace.  So here we are in 2018, where's the 00s nostalgia? And why do people still confuse the 00s and 10s? And why do radio stations skip the 00s in their taglines (80s 90s and today)? Is this a serious problem? I know it doesn't affect people in the long run, but it bothers me too much. I wish there was a way to shift societys thinking so we stop thinking the 00s and 10s are the same.  Maybe 2020 will change everything,  but we can only hope.  Or well be stuck in the "2000s" forever.


This is coming from someone born in 1992! Well said, especially with what I have in BOLD this is all you need to know. NerdyGamer brought up the MySpace incident to me a few years ago which is how 90's nostalgia on the internet took off and it took off WAY TOO early which led to so much chaos. Don't tell me 90's nostalgia and 90's kids debates reached its peak in 2013 because it was already a huge thing well before then. Half of y'all weren't on internet forums or YouTube enough back in the late 2000's like some of us were.

And I got a lot more to say about this too. In fact, does anyone have legitimate proof that we were nostalgic for the 90s in the 00s already? Not this forum since we already put too much emphasis on decades. But other more mainstream sites. Did people already say the 90s were the last good decade in the 00s?


Also, there's this series on CNN called "The 2000's", and the 4th episode was about the origin and rise of Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, iPod's, iPhone's, and social media in general. It was interesting, but we all know that type of technology that started forming throughout the 2000's has obviously peaked throughout the 2010's, which is another reason why people look at the 00's and 10's as the same or very similar. It was my favorite episode of the series so far, but I still want to see some more interesting episodes that explains the pop culture of music, video games, and more interesting TV as well (and NOT just reality shows).

Are we in 2013 or so? Claims nostalgia will be stuck in the 90s are so ridiculous beyond relief  ;D ;D ;D. Early 2000s nostalgia is already getting huge this year and I've read articles of "2000s being better than the 2010s" too in this decade so it's just something that keeps repeating every decade.


Bye y'all, I will go listening to some Emo Rap and as well as putting this bop on:

I swear to god I went a lot on the internet starting 2009 and never noticed any 90s over-obsession until like 2013 or so

This doesn't happen in my circles, nor do my local radio stations confuse hits from today with hits from the '00s. Most of the time there's a throwback session on my local radio station and about 85% are from the early 2000s with a bit of 90s thrown in there.

Me either. I've been on forums since 2004 . 90s kids made up the majority of the users on the forums so I was always the youngest. Of course they always talked about the 90s but while 90s nostalgia has always been there, it didn't become oversaturated until the early 2010s.

You got many different types of 90's discussions though. It's not just the 90's kids bragging about their decade and making nostalgia pages, but it's the 90's kids debates and them hating on the 2000's as well. The elitists, the ageists, etc. I consider all of it to be bad and really irritating. Maybe the 90's kids debates didn't peak until the early 2010's, but the bragging about the 90's and the 90's nostalgia pages were already getting started by the late 2000's and those were just as annoying TBH. There were YouTube ranters from 2009 who were talking about how great the 90's were then and saying how bad the 2000's sucked. Early 90's or mid 90's, all of it is still the 90's.

Here's another thing, they usually say you have to be at least 13 years old in order to join most internet forums, social media and communities including YouTube. 1995 born's turned 13 in 2008 while 1996 born's turned 13 in 2009, so there wasn't really enough core 2000's kids on the internet yet for there to be a lot of 90's kid debates, but the bragging about how the 90's were better than the 2000's, the 2000's hate, and the nostalgia for the 90's was already there. Back in the late 2000's the hate was real, trust me. The backlash Bush got at the time and the recession, oh boy, it wasn't pretty. By the early 2010's, a lot of the core 2000's kids were old enough to talk and debate with people on the internet, so to a lot of 2000's kids who were just joining internet forums and social media the 90's kids debates may have peaked in the early 2010's.

Wow so? A lot of people nowadays on boards also brag how the 2010s suck and their childhoods/the 2000s were better. It's just shifting demographics, it makes perfect sense. Reading Google Groups, people also bitched a lot on the 90s when it was going on. You just have to accept bitching about the current is what people on boards love to do and have always loved to do.

And tbh IRL I honestly never saw one giving a care about the 90s growing up in the 2000s, while I definitely saw lots of attention for the 70s and 80s.
And to be very, very honest, I feel like mainstream-wise there is more 2000s nostalgia in the 2010s than there was 90s in the 2000s, with entire songs and music genres dedicated to noughties stuff, and a huge ton of movies and series sequels and revivals.

2000s nostalgia is definitely kicking, it's just not as obnoxious as 90s nostalgia because it hasn't been a full 20 years and the 2000s backlash was so strong this decade 2000s kids won't be as entitled as 90s kids were.
