Was the 2000's really worth the nostalgia?

[Skitarii]

9/11 iraq housing crisis isn't an era I wanna relive

 

[Retink]

Yea, but the normies hadn't fucked up the Internet yet, all of that other shit is still happening today.

9/11 was what helped make it so good. Who doesn't love to see America get a kick in the nuts?

Nostalgia can be a good thing in small doses, but if you let it consume your life, you’ll just end up becoming a bitter, angry, sperg of a human blaming the Space Jews for all his problems like a certain Kiwi who thinks the 2000s were the best thing ever

 

[Cup Noodle]

2000 rocked and 2001 was pretty fucking good too up until September. After that it was all shit though. I feel sorry for you kids who can't remember a time before that.

>girls are becoming hot
>playing baseball with my dad and brother
>no drag queen story hours
>sleepovers with the bros where we eat pizza and play vidya

Those *were* the days.

The 90’s were better.

2006 was a prime year for video games and I will fight anyone who thinks otherwise in Garry's Mod.

My memories may be mushing together but I distinctly recall losing my V-card while listening to Ocean Avenue and playing Metal Gear Solid 3 and eating green ketchup.

It was a good time, my dudes.

Despite the problems the '00s had, at least there wasn't "the way of Tumblr" and "cancel culture" going mainstream.

Also smartphone and social media "cultures" weren't really a thing yet. No "New Normal" either.

I had a PDA with a modem in it that had a USB connection and a driver to use it with windows and mac computers as a teather, I saved up for ages to get it as a teen and having a pocket device with the internet was a unique thing, it was nice but having the internet available all the time was the start of the problem and I got to see it first hand.

I miss not having a phone and email hybrid device on my person, I'd rather have a phone I can shutdown and ignore and a camera and MP3 player than the all in one device of a smart phone it meant I had to work to get access to the internet and it wasnt the default state of business or government - I sometimes want to call about my bank account and ask why XYZ is a issue, No I want to be able to say to the local government I am cutting my grass on the kerbside because they havent done it in 3 years without applying for a licence.

No, it was a horrible transphobic xenophobic time. Us sisters and allies must all rally together and pledge to never exhume it for cheap nostalgia purposes.
Remember: 4chan was invented in the 2000's

Pros: The internet, which has since become much worse.

Cons: The music, which has become lyrically worse but remained stylistically homogenous.

I grew up during the 2000's. The fashion trends were weird but they hold a special place in my heart. Every other girl I knew wore body glitter and low-cut jeans. I remember as a kid collecting silly bands and reselling them to other kids at school. Good times.

Being young during the unfiltered times of the internet was a doozy, too. Taught me a lot about how the world really worked. No filters or censors, just raw content. Now you have to archive everything lest it gets deleted or erased for deviating from the norm.

 

[Queen Elizabeth II]

It wouldn't be my decade of choice but it was the last one before the rise of the United Soviet States of Tumblr so its practically a golden age.

 

[TFT-A9]

It's easy to be nostalgic about nearly any past era when modern day sucks this hard tbh

 

[Bungus Scrungus]

2000's was one of the best eras for gaming, unironically. Short of the 90's; no era comes close. I know that's not exactly fair considering gaming has been around for only 50 years in a commercial sense, and it only started getting a defined era in the mid 1980's, but still; your taste is shit if you say 2000's was bad.

 

[Moths]

Sorry amemeica nobody outside of your country cares about 9/11

Which means 00's is pretty great if your not trying to live in a house in iraq
