That was an entirely different life for me altogether. 2003 was a big year of life-reinvention for me.

Since 2000's culture seems to upswept by popular consensus, I wonder what will ultimately come out from it.
I hope we start seeing bell-bottoms again. ------- On a similar note, the music from the late 2000's sounds primarily ... uninspiring. There are some good songs, but overall, I'm just not fond of the music from that era. |

I maintain that the 00s were a terrible terrible decade culturally. The shadow of 911 ruined everything. 90s were lit though.

I wonder what the Technodrome was like during the 2000's era.
Seemingly, it was more active than today. |

Definitely more active during the 2K3 show and Volume 4/Tales Vol 2 era.

As I was scanning the forums' older threads, I noticed that the overall atmosphere was more dispassionate, at least when it came to controversial topics.
Initially, immaturity seemed to pervade most of the website. The general environment seems to have evolved within recent years, and the surrounding bitterness between forum members seems to have diminished. Resultantly, the forums seems to have benefited, as the changes helped improve the website. I'm thankful that I was able to evade most of it. |

And although there are still varying opinions, the truth is that without the routine "assault-sentiment" the vitriol here has diminished from "political-geniuses-and-life-victims doing Napolean-Dynamite" down again to your average "Napolean Dynamite" poster. So yeah, it's better here. Minus the one or two guys who misattribute statements because they need a win. But other than that, yeah. |

I had just viewed Chromeo's music video for "Fancy Footwork".
Women were more objectified in the 2000's. Recently, our culture seems to be kinder to women. ------- On a similar note, I had just watched a 2003 Britney Spears interview. It was disgusting. The way she was sexualized/objectified was just revolting. |

Uhhhhh…. When we lose our own sports and bathrooms and are even called “birthing persons”, that’s not exactly being “kinder” to us.

The 1990's/2000's-era humor was so … offensively disturbing.
We are socially maturing past that phase of culture. |

In the early 2000's you could call anything "gay" and it would be accepted. People would say, "that is so gay" or you like Nintendo that is "gay" or I played my "Gaystation 2" the other day.
LMAO. I bet zoomers will never understand why people of that era called everything gay. |

Immaturity often pervades and saturates our social society. Resultantly, we continually alternate between progression and retrogression.
Oftentimes, our social standards influence humanity with varying results. ------- I can't believe that I was only six/seven years old when the Nintendo DS came out. Time flies … |

You're right, comedy has never been in a better place than now.

Right. Or the ability to deliver social commentary through the arts. It's so much better now than in the 2000's.

I really miss the 00's, such a great decade, even if it didn't have the style of the 90s. Glad Millenials and Zoomers are finally getting nostalgic for it. These were my teen years so of course the decade was going to be nostalgic. Much media still carried that extremism of the 90s and sexualization even if it was made more "gritty and realistic" to fit with the decade. Technology was becoming cool but still not really used by boomers which ruined it.
How blinged up was your myspace page when you were in high school? I used to use my basic knowledge of HTML to blow the minds away of my friends. I was bitter when Facebook became the cool new social network since it had the "it's for cool college kids only" vibe in the beginning, but you couldn't edit anything on FB. Funny how FB is now only the place for boomers to hang out in. The iPhone was a great invention but you can tell that was the beginning of the end, once normies were able to afford smart phones and started using the internet, well they didn't use the internet they got facebook accounts and thought that was the internetit all went downhill. The 2010s man it'll be difficult to get nostalgic ever for this era, it was the rise of geek culture in the mainstream and political bickering. The stench of that decade is still felt sadly, luckily the 2020s are already getting better. |

Now it's hard-pressed to find anyone that has never ever had a Facebook, Instagram or whatever else that would give off your real name and face.
