The Y2K era (1997-2004) was the last kino era for movies, music, TV, vidya, anime, etc. and then everything started to get bad around 2005.

Just link the YouTube video that told you this so we can properly crucify them
Your mom shoulda had an abortion

Hey I had that DBZ magazine in the 5th grade.
ya no ill never be nostalgic for the 90s or 2000s aside from sugar ray, mario 64, and wcw nothing in these eras does a thing for me
You're old. Stop being old, boomergay.
It’s no coincidence that things started to go to shit around the time the smart phone was invented. When the iPhone came out in 2007, it was truly over.
Things were already starting to go bad in 05-06 before smartphones. That's when reboots and remakes started.
i think everything started to go to shit when the housing market music slowed down then 9 11 was the straw that broke the cammels back
>single-handedly destroys the world
why did steven p jobs do it
The problem with smartphones is it allowed the third world and illiterate drooling morons easy access it would have happened eventually somebody was going to make it cheap and easy
There's too many problems to properly count, honestly.
You can take a smartphone anywhere, so rather than sitting at a desktop you got people posting while taking a shit or something, so it lead to people barely thinking through what they posted and having no desire to stick around after.
It let normalgay attention prostitutes get a hit whenever they felt like it, rather than having hours between work/whatever before checking for replies.
It made almost every site on the internet cater to them, which homgenised it and surgically remvoed any identity from the increasingly shrinking platforms
Here specifically it lead to pathetically easy ban evasion, which previously required a dynamic IP/multiple static ports and some entry level computr proficiency, which lead to legions of giggling morons rampantly spewing ot low effort shitposting and getting away with it.
Take me back bros

Never mind
Basically, tough I will contend that that era was really only just running off of the fumes of the coolness left over from the late 90's. I think 2008 really was officially the end of the cool, and it was all shit from there.
I'd argue 2005 was the end of cool or when emo took over airwaves. Nu metal was the last chad music.
I'd agree if not for the fact that Avatar the Last Airbender aired from 2005 - 2008. It's one of my favorite things ever.
When I was a younger man, I was ride or die for death metal and stoner metal. Couldn’t stand nu metal at all. Now I'd give anything to at least bring it back to drown out whatever hyperpop or thotcore is supposed to be.
You got it all wrong, zoomie. 1997 was THE last year for great entertainment. 1998 and onward turned into a shitshow. There was a brief rebound in 2007-2010, but then thing went downhill again. The '90s were esentially over by '97 or so.
>There was a brief rebound in 2007-2010
The frick are you talking about? lmao
Even if you didn't like buttrock, there was more to like about the Y2K era. Matrix, drum n bass, raves, early Adult Swim, LOTR, hot women, Toonami, best vidya before brown n bloom took over, good economy.
Also, Apocalypto came out in 2006, and that's arguably the best movie of the millennium so far. Certainly the best since its release. Pan's Labyrinth was also pretty good, and that was also 2006.
Another Y2K nostalgia thread? Go to bed boomer.
Zoomers don't have souls. This is a millennial website, gtfo.
>three Millennial nostalgia threads in the catalog
Yep, it's a Saturday night in 2023 alright.
This is a westoid problem. I was watching a video showcasing popular anime intros from 2014 and like every other show on it was great, and I don't particularly consider 2014 a good year or anything.
Games have been shit for the past 20 years, though. The move to HD was a mistake.
9/11 was the turning point
It did mindfrick the west pretty hard.
Indeed, but some soulful things were still coming out in 2002-2004 that had started production before 9/11 (Return of the King for instance). By 2005 it was all ogre.
I've always assumed it was the 2008 recession. Something happened and the whole entertainment industry stopped taking risks.
9/11 started it
2005 was when they ran out of leftover soulful things made before 9/11
2008 was the writers strike and recession
Is there a term for the weird competitive nostalgia GenX and Millennials have? Both generations desperately want to convince everyone that they were the last "good" gen but that's not how it works. Maybe media hit critical mass in terms of quality in the 2000s, but they didn't have anything to do with that for the most part. If anything they created the decline they complain about. I feel like there's a level of cope at play that's unheard of to this point.
Zoomers are completely delusional, lmao. Even a casual glance at what was going on pre-2005 would prove that Zoomer's were basically raised in a hellscape. I suppose it's not their fault, but they could at least be honest about it.
Millennials are cringe because all the shit they complain about is what they started; their generation is the one that popularized homosexualry, racemixing, troonyism, nonbinaries, polyamory, and all kinds of other shit, mostly due to growing up on the internet. All the culture they love was created by Gen Xers when they were kids, lol. Bunch of worthless homosexuals.
>popularized homosexualry, racemixing, troonyism, nonbinaries, polyamory
That was early zoomers. Late millennials did get the ball rolling with emo though.
Zoomers had no cultural power whatsoever when woke culture started in the early 2010s, that was all (You). (You) legalized gay marriage as well.
>(You) legalized gay marriage as well.
When a vote was held (in California no less), the people voted against it, so some israelite judge came along and overturned the vote. Then Obama mandated it federally. No one was given a choice in the matter.
>We dindu nuffin! It was all the zoomers who had no control over anything!
Yeah. Sure. Keep blaming them for growing up in the world of homosexualry you created.
It was never the will of the people, neither Millennial, nor Zoomer.
>If anything they created the decline they complain about
Millennials didn't elect Reagan or W Bush or deregulate banking causing the world recession
All of the issues really point to:
Corporate consolidation. This makes less people making decisions = less varied content. We have heard Kevin Feige's voice now, many times. Corporations are also risk averse so rely on existing IP.
Smartphones have made people (including artists) more distracted, and women more conformist in terms of ideology.
Mental illness and unhappiness (related to smartphones and other issues), along with a lack of real foreign policy issues, have caused leftist ideology to be at a shrieking cult-like level, causing lack of creative freedom across all creative industries. This has also caused these same leftists to ingratiate themselves into the creative system, where they remain.
Larger budgets, more CGI, less reliance on actors (and less talented actors) mean even more reliance on IP (this bubble is popping).
As for music, reliance on hip hop: whites will listen to hip hop, but POC don't really listen to rock. Hip hop/rap easy to produce/market. Songs are low quality and easy to produce. It's mostly one artists/no band so don't have to worry about keeping a band together. As quality diminishes this bubble is also popping.
Not a great time for creativity, but the nascent creativity is there. It's just being blocked/not developed by the current systems.
Absolute death to Israel gentlemen.
it was all contrived industry bullshit. it was garbage
Zoomer women were built for the millennial BVLL
Anon, Zoomer women are men.
2007 was the beginning of the end. It was the year "nerd culture" went mainstream and the popularization of internet 2.0 happened.
Sounds about right.
But as mentioned here,
things were already getting noticeably shittier in 05-06. 07 merely confirmed it.
Just say you’re about to turn 40 and feel old. Everything was the best ever when you were 18.
It's objectively true that creativity started to decline in 2005 when Hollywood became obsessed with reboots and remakes
