I know it didn't, but at the same time, it sorta did... I was only a kid back in the 90's, but I distinctly remember the world seeming smaller when we didn't have the Internet as it is today... After 9/11, and as Internet technologies and smartphone capabilities became more advanced, that world we once lived in seemed to cease.
In short, fear + advanced technology + increased security/decreased freedom = a non-kino experience.
But hell, I'm largely talking shit here... I'm sure there are shows which glorify the 00's just as there are probably more reasons for why the 90's and 00's seem so different from each other.
My parents agree with me that the 90s were better though and they were already in their 30s/40s then
Fpbp.

Good post, 9/11 broke the illusion of The End Of History and the belief the world had stabilised into an eternal, immortal present like the liberal-capitalist dream, a dream we were just beginning to fully dream and then we were woken up
Watch some old AFV. There was an ego or a neurosis that just wasnt there in the 90s and 00s. People weren't embarrassed to be a bit foolish on camera, and when they were there was still a strange "thereness" in people's eyes that you dont see anymore. Phones and computers have fried our collective consciousness.
yeah it did but only because it have a reason for israelites to put things into overdrive
i was in high school in a very patriotic southern state when it happened and no one cared. honestly the though that people would actually care or be sad at the news of dead new yorkers is sort of funny. literally the best thing New York is known for is being a horrible dumb full of horrible human garbage
911 for the majority of Americans was a shocking event you watched on TV, then you turned the TV off and returned to normal life. 2008-2012 was when you saw the culture fall apart no matter where you lived
Cant let the zoomers realise whats been stolen from them.
80s is easy, that was decades ago. But if zoomers realise even ten years ago life was dramatically different... then they will start asking difficult questions...
Well kinda this, but not exactly. It's not like 00s were dreamy or anything, but despite being technologically closer to today, it was socio-culturally much closer to its previous decades. When it is something 40 years ago you can potray is as being a different time, but when it is just 12+ years ago, you can't do the same. You can't use any jokes, you can't use smoking, you can't make teenagers bullying their friends calling them gays etc.
Imagine if you are film maker. Would you risk being cancelled for making a film set in 00s, when you could do basically do all you want if something set in an older period?
op you fricking moron, you need at least 15-20 years for nostalgia to kick in. after years of boomers and millenarians boring us to death with 80/90s nostalgia, 00 nostalgia is about to kick in. see Turning Red.
>millenarians boring us to death with 80/90s nostalgia
What is Gen X? Maybe mid 90s to early 00s is a Millennials wet dream but before that its all the forgotten generation' fault.
Anon. They are literally touching it. I think it comes out sometime this very year on israeliteflix. Its most of the 70s show cast, but apparently the main characters are kitty and red with the others making appearances occasionally in episodes. Kinda sounds like that Fuller House shit.
>most of that 70s Show Cast >Kelso and Jackie are too expensive now >Hyde raped so many people that not even Scientology can cover it up >Nobody's heard from Eric in a decade plus, is more famous for not releasing his Star Wars Prequel cut than anything >Donna is also a scientologist
This is actually probably a big reason it focuses on those two and the other characters will just make appearances. Its much cheaper to bring Kunis/Kutcher in for 1 or 2 episodes than have a whole fricking season of it with them.
Actually, no. The asiatic would just be the child of Hmong refugees and the mulatta would be adopted after being abandoned in Milwaukee by its mud shark mother and Black person deadbeat father. The other four appear to be white in the way Bulgarians and Italians do. Maybe that chick in the lower right is a asiatic, too, and she could just be some adoptee. Late Nineties in any city larger than 10K, that would fly, but it is strange that none could pass for German or Norwegian in a state that is half-German with the next largest white ethnic group being Norwegian.
This pic was 1990 in small-town Wisco, and we had, in a high school of maybe 800 people, at least a couple dozen other shitskins like the one first row right. Actually, two of the students here are Mexicans.
They won't touch it because it wasn't significantly popular outside the US. Everything is about global popularity now. If it was popular globally (western world or China/ Japan) it'll get rebooted. If not no chance.
It kinda does work. Like Stranger things for example. Takes old school styling like goonies plus basing in the 80s and showing loads of old stuff and cultural norms makes people very nostalgic. Maybe you don't see it because you aren't old enough to be affected by it. But it works.
It doesn't work alot for the younger generation like 90s kids because they don't do it well. They just reboot 90s classics but change them which people feel ruins it. It's because of the modern culture now. Before it wasn't yet so bad and some stuff was made decent but now it's so far gone it's impossible for them to do nostalgic content right.
Not to mention there wasn't this fat acceptance bullshit. I don't advocate being an butthole to overweight or obese people, but don't dress in clothes not intended for your size.
Speaking of girls, the 00's was the last decade you could get away with showing hot girls and women in magazines, movies, shows, etc. and embrace their sexy feminine features openly. 2006's Dead or Alive adaptation would make the feminists shriek.
Vidya was amazing in the 00's. No woke bullshit being forced in. Star Wars was better off focusing on console games like The Force Unleashed and Knights of the Old Republic. The PS2 had a great catalog of games. PC games were great too.
the 2010's were just an extension on the 2000s
same wars same, same fricked up policies, shitty pop and rap/rock never went away everyone one had a pearl clutching reaction to anything mildly offensive.

Obama ruined everything by bailing out the banks and legalizing domestic propaganda on the citizenry
not to mention saying "Trayvon Martin could have been my son", telling all black people, basically "it doesn't matter if you become president, white police will still want to murder you for no reason" and here we are.

It fricking baffles me that Trayvon gets so much attention when there were actual cases of innocence like Tamar Rice or John Crawford.

Tamir Rice pointed an airsoft gun at the police and Freddy Gray was a felon 10x over. BPD are saints and should be given free reign to execute criminals in the streets.

In Rice's case, the squad car sped in and pulled up right next to the kid. Video footage shows that Tamar was lifting his waistband to show the airsoft gun. He wasn't pointing it at the hair-trigger cops who obviously had no clue to properly approach. Poor judgment yes but when a squad cars zooms in and you have cops with guns drawn shouting, no shit the kid wasn't properly thinking and didn't drop to the ground.
Not to mention the dispatcher failed to inform the cops that the caller said it was a kid and that the gun was probably a toy. Good fricking job they killed a kid who didn't have an actual handgun.
No idea who Freddie Gray is. I mentioned John Crawford because the butthole caller admitted he lied about Crawford pointing the toy rifle at people in the interrogation video.

Obama ruined everything by bailing out the banks and legalizing domestic propaganda on the citizenry
Specifically, the 2nd Obama administration. Democrats had lost their legislative majorities, and, instead of scaling back and writing common sense bipartisan legislation (which is what Clinton did after the '94 midterms, say what you must about him) and trying to shore up as many potential voting blocs for 2016, they decided to legislate through the culture. Obama and his desired policy items were everywhere, appearing on ESPN to share basketball brackets, slow-jamming the news on the tonight show, etc. And the whole time, the near totality of our corporate media environment was sweeping his inefficacy on both foreign and domestic policy matters under the rug and calling anyone who disagreed a racist. Its really no surprise in hindsight that a large swath of the electorate finally said "alright, we're done playing civil, frick you too" and turned to the guy yelling fake news at his rallies. Every single one of those resistance its-a-dangerous-time-to-tell-the-truth wienersuckers had a hand in creating Trump, no one is more responsible
I grew up in the 2000s, nobody ever talked about politics. Even in the 2010s I never heard politics being talked about. That all changed in 2016 when Trump became president. Everything became woke. Everything became politicized. Democrats went from being moderate left to very far left.
everyone was constantly talking politics throughout all the 2000s. you were just too oblivious to notice. e.g., racism, sexism, political correctness, religion, attacking historical narratives (did you know... white people are actually BAD?!), actively undermining the family and parental authority, etc.
politics were talked about, but there wasn't the same air of seriousness it has today because it wasn't as threatening speaking your mind
back then having the "wrong" opinions just means people disagreeing with you, at worst arguing with you
nowadays if you have a "wrong" opinion, you lose your job, your life, your reputation, and sometimes even your life.
and back then, only nazi shit warranted this response. nowadays anything that is not socialism is seen as "wrong" these days. the average political climate has shifted so far left that even being a classical liberal is seen as right wing.
what's worse is that those twisted fricks at twitter will cheer your downfall and even death that they brought upon you if you even dare to try and believe anything that is not textbook marxism
>and back then, only nazi shit warranted this response.
nah, back then the ADL defended nazis. now they call you nazis for voting republican. it's unironically more dangerous to be a trump voter in a left-win sphere today than it was to be a literal nazi or a full-on "God hates gays and wants american soldiers to die" WBC cult member.
>Twitter leftists have no power in real life.
tell that to people who lost their jobs or got doxxed and their life was threatened because of twatter c**ts
politics were talked about but only you heard it on CNN. movies were still very normal back then unlike today where everything is far left. I went to school in the 2000s and early 2010s and nothing political was ever talked about. A transgender student in school would have been unheard of. If I were in school today 50% of students would probably be gay or trans. I never said no politics was ever talked about at all, but only on TV and it was very boring to watch and nobody bothered to pay attention to. Social Media companies still supported Free Speech. You can say Black person and not get banned or censored. Everything has become woke now. Cant even watch a movie nowadays . Companies didn't tell people to be less white and make anti white statements. Companies didn't change the names of their products because some people got offended even though it was never controversial for decades. The 2000s was never like that. Everything was still to the most part very normal.

Sounds like you were living in a bubble, that shit took center stage right after 9/11 and all you heard about was keeping abortion legal, letting gays get married, being nice to Islam, allowing unfettered immigration into the the country, whites are evil racist and then it boiled over when Obama became president and it all became ingrained into the culture.
The late 90’s early 2000’s were kino despite 9/11.
The reason they won’t make a show about it, is because the characters WOULDN’T be constantly glued to smartphones, twitter and living in fear of covid. Viewers wouldn’t understand just what the frick was going on.
The fact that could easily still look like this with just a few more wrinkles but chooses to dress and chop her hair like a lesbian makes me irrationally angry.
00s sucked, pop culture was already entering the phase of bland recycling we're so deeply mired in now. Any wistfulness for the days of Bush-era nonsense is pure nostalgia. It was an awful time but like the said in Children of Men, it was a time when people refused to accept that the future was just around the corner
So many wholesome faps were had in the 90s. It was the last generation where you could justifiably open a magazine and that was the top-tier fap material.
Not even kidding. I used to wait for new TV guides to see pics of 10/10 girls in sexy poses.
I remember one guide featuring pic related on front cover. Not even reveling clothes or whatnot, and yet I was cumming like crazy because of Hershlag's sexy look.
>muh 9/11
Why do zoomers propogate this myth? The early 00s were kino. Real death of culture was circa 2008 when normies got onto the internet en masse with the iPhone.
for as gay as 9/11 and the war on terror were for society at large and increasing state surveillance programs, the mass adoption of iphones was so much worse
normies should've never gotten phones
>muh 9/11

The world is going to shit, but clinging to the past isn't going to change anything. Either get yours and tell everybody else to frick off like people have been doing for thousands of years, or go outside and do something useful. The technology isn't to blame for things getting bad. It was always going to get bad because of the cultural influences that were starting to get worse. My life is objectively better because I have access to unlimited knowledge. It's not technology's fault if you can't raise your kids to not be trannies.
That's all neat until you realize that an absolute nobody in bumfrick nowhere will be able to produce deadly virus and destroy civilization. This is our only chance now. All coal on the surface is gone, and we need modern technology and knowledge to access deep stores. If we revert to industrial era, there is no another industrial revolution.
That might get people to start being more interested in the non-glorious side of the 2000s and there are still people in power who really really don't want to have to deal with the repercussions for that shit.
Talking about meth and painkillers destroying the Midwest? Lost a lot of friends to that shit at the time. It's all misery though, no one wants to see that shit for 90 minutes on the screen
Because the boomers/gen Xers still hold the powerful positions and aren't done creaming over the 90s yet. If you weren't young in the 00s then it doesn't bring back fond memories.
How about how light hearted and fun everything was. If you've never seen a Zoomer reaction to old Cinemaphile meme's they literally cannot understand how that shit was funny. >Like dude where's the Irony and the 6 layer messaged about how I want to kill myself or blow up the united states government
2000s nostalgia is already big on certain parts of the internet. Wait until it gets fully adopted by the internet and then boomers will milk it for all its worth until we go back to 80s nostalgia.
I was 16 years old in 2000. The overt bawdiness of the era always made me cringe. Not just talking about the women either. All the guys wanted to be pimps and drug dealers.
A lot of women from that era don't want you seeing their old pictures where they played the bimbo for years to get ahead to where they are.
Might make public opinion turn on them when the young Megans realize their hero was a Stacy back int he day.
Early 00's was a comfy time even with 9/11 and the War on Terror. It wasn't until the 2008 recession and the wide-spread distribution of early smartphones as well as social networking grabbing people's attention fricked things over irrevocably. 2000 to 2007 was still a time when things made sense and nobody got bent out of shape as much as today.
Do we even have 90's nostalgia? That decade can be roughly divided into 3 segments:
1) Spillover of 80's in 1990 to fall 1991 when the Soviet Union fell
2) 1992-1996 asserting itself as its own decade with new jack swing, house music, and electric pop being phased out by grunge and acoustic introspective music by 1994 and 1995.
3) Turn of the millennium in 1997 to 1999 where we saw proto-2000's with the R&B and hip-hop scene as well as more emphasis on media and being tech-savvy in pop culture
Race relations for instance had its ups and downs between black and white with the LA riots, Abner Louima and Amado Diallo but there was still a strong emphasis of ,"Hey, let's fix our problems together instead of blaming each other". There were a frickton of black sitcoms as well as dramas depicting black characters that had nuanced views of society. Or how the black community needed introspection to fix its problems. And "no snitching" as well as colorism amongst blacks caused serious problems.
That's every decade. Look at the 80s.
1) Spillover of 70s (western wear, soap operas, and truckers)
2) '83-'87 is "the 80s" with all the meme shit
3) proto-90s fashion develops and college rock/grunge starts happening
I know. What I'm saying is that we haven't had a real 90's sentimentality in TV and movies yet.
Shows like the original Beverly Hills 90210, Martin, The Jaime Fox Show, Ghostwriter, Step by Step, Family Matters, California Dreams, early Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the 90's seasons of Friends, Mad About You, Wings, The Parent Hood, Sister, Sister, Round House, Baywatch, Pacific Blue are glimpses of how the 90's as a decade was like. Nobody can reenact this easily compared to the 80's nostalgia we've had.
As for 2000's, it's too recent. I know 2000 is 22 years ago, but the tech and styles aren't that foreign to a 2020's audience. More primitive in cell phones and Internet but a 2022 kid can still relate to that time. The fashion and music might throw them off a bit, but you can get away with it. It's the societal norms and views that might offend certain demographics.
Blade wasn't a black progressive Marvel hero, Blade was just a cool motherfricker. Red in Shawshank Redemption wasn't blackwashing diversity hire, Morgan Freeman was simply that good and the movie even addresses it directly (why is he called Red if he is not a ginger like in the book). Tomb Raider wasn't strong woman needing no man, it was just another cool action flick, just like the 5th Element. Sarah Connor is to this day peak movie woman and a black man is the smartest character in the Terminator franchise, and very heroic too. Xena and Gabrielle were a lesbian couple but no one was focusing on it. There was no pandering, movies and video games were made with focus on story and immersion. Even if it wasn't a good story, there were reasons other than just sjw agenda.
Exactly. Characters were treated as people and not tokens or mouthpieces. Shit there was an episode of Married With Children where Al hangs out with a gay man and had no problem with him. Carl Winslow and Philip Banks were great TV dads with flaws yet you could respect them.
There was always PCness back then, but good writers and staff made sure to have good stories and acting first and foremost.

There's How I Met Your Mother. It was directly modeled after nostalgic TV shows like the Wonder Years except the nostalgic frame setting was in the future and the flashback portions were set in contemporary times in the 00s.
Note to zoomers: when people talk about "the '00s" they mean roughly the first half of the decade, not like 2008 when you were born. By the time the first iPhone released, culture was already dead.
You mean 2000-2007. 2008 is when the world went to shit because of the recession, rise of Facebook, people started buying iPhones en masse, etc. 2007 was the last "real" year.
Yup I remember that. The French were weebs WAY before the US because they got tons more anime and even tokusatsu (Japanese superhero live action) years before the US.
That show with Seth Rogan and Bucky about Pam&Tommy was a pretty cool flashback to the 90s/early 00s. I grew up in buttfrick nowhere so my perception is kinda warped. I had a dial up modem and Gateway pc till about 2005ish.
Nowadays maybe but The Wonders Years debuted in 1988 and depicted 1968. That 70's Show debuted in 1998 and depicted 1976. The 60's and 70's are so removed from 80's and 90's audiences because of the political climate as well as fashion and music.
The 2000's aren't that out of the loop since most kids and teens can pick up on its dated tech and styles easier than earlier times.
Take Supernatural for example. It debuted in fall 2005. You still had flip phones and high-speed Internet wasn't as prevalent. The series ended in 2020 (never thought it would run 15 seasons). A fan can rewatch the 2000's seasons on TNT and it wouldn't be as dated compared to Charmed or Buffy which began in the 90s though they did end in the early and mid 00's.
Yeah we lost our optimism and earnestness. If you look at 90's shows and movies, there's an actual feeling of depth toward people and ideals. Nowadays being a snarky butthole is considered a personality.
Gen X was nearly as bad but they had their boomer parents and silent generation grandparents to tell them to man up and quit b***hing. Now the Xers are coming into leadership with no one to pull the reigns back on their cancerous nihilist dogma
The fricking offended millennial like myself will never be topped though. Growing up making dead baby jokes then pretending to get offended on behalf of someone else when someone misgenders someone they have nothing to do with.
Why the frick would 2000s nostalgia be a thing? Culture seriously stagnated not long into the 2000s. Seriously take someone from the year 2006 and they wont look too out of place in the current year.
In anesthetics yes, but culturally they'd be somewhat shocked at how there's issues over what constitutes a woman, Roe vs Wade being overturned, everyone glued to their smartphones and social media, and how much of a cluster frick society has become.
It was a great expression of greater individuality compared to the malaise after Vietnam in the 70's. The rise of the summer blockbuster and how much of contemporary culture traces itself to what the 80's established.
creative pop culture, almost the birth of cultural stereotypes. great music, and movies, games, toys. Preposterous fashion yet unmistakably iconic. Prosperous living standards. When USA was still the envy of all countries.
Also Black person fatigue has not yet come to pass.
white chick and a Latina, zero mention of race nor how brave and stunning Christina was, not were their søyed article and entertainment news about Brittany hogging the spot light from this brave woman of color.
2000's kino reached unimaginable and unreproducable heights. And unlike the 80s and 90s, the technology was good enough to where there's no market for reboots.
2004-2012 All that great music like 50 Cent and Nickelback and and 3rd rate nu-metal and movies like White Chicks, and Soul Plane, Dwayne Johnson movies.
the internet made all that shit irrelavent. before that all you had to consume was whatever ~~*latest band*~~ they paid to get onto the radio unless you were lucky and had a local scene. theres so much fricking music these days its your own fricking fault if all you can do is cry about justin beiber
They glorified themselves.
All the college comedies, stoner comedies, coming-of-age comedies, spoof comedies, etc
They were all glorious tributes to the current culture and pretty much require no revisiting.
Millennials will own nothing, and like it. Beginning with culture. They just adopted Gen-X pop culture, and the corporate machine was happy to exploit them using IP they already owned. Such a tragic generation.
The 2000s suck anon >9/11 looms all over the decade >Iraq and Afghanistan >Patriot Act >Every field of art was so shit that LE WRONG GENERATION gays were born >Web 2.0/Post 2007 internet >DMCA israelitery >2008 Recession >Ringtone Music and music in general sucked >Capeshit and Transformers killing blockbusters
because the late 90s and 00s were peak anti wokeness. girls back then were all literally depicted with cleavage and midriff and every franchise stared a cool white dude. racial relationships were also much more calm back then.
if we now got some 00s nostalgia shows they wouldn’t be accurate at all
just like stranger things makes the 80s look like a modern collage campus with everyone beeing gay or a coal burner
>I'm also in my early 30s and quite frankly if you think life is shit right now you have no one to blame but yourself. 2001 was an event that ended up uniting the country for a few years. All the shady shit that the government was doing was in the background, we didn't give a single shit. If you were young enough, you didn't give a single frick about the housing crisis.
You have no idea what you are talking about, you were just too young to be aware of that, everything you just said just came from the perspective of a child >Culture began collapsing around 2012-2015. 2004-2012 were peak kino in music, movies, and tv. Look back, you know this is fricking true.
No, it really fricking wasn't. everything fell off a cliff so hard after 2008 it was palpable, again you were just a stupid child >Get a life losers. You are probably part of the neoreddit generation that spends their fricking day crying about how the world is so unfair to you yet you don't do anything to change that. fricking homosexuals.
And you're still just a stupid child, you sound like a 12 year old trying to troll people on xbox live
I hated the 2000s
The humour disturbed me and the culture was sexualised
Sex is disgusting and shouldn't be shown in public
I would be very happy if no indications of the existence of sexuality were shown in public
Because 9 11 ruined everything.
911 really put off and covered up a lot of current or impending issues
Fpbp.
I know it didn't, but at the same time, it sorta did... I was only a kid back in the 90's, but I distinctly remember the world seeming smaller when we didn't have the Internet as it is today... After 9/11, and as Internet technologies and smartphone capabilities became more advanced, that world we once lived in seemed to cease.
In short, fear + advanced technology + increased security/decreased freedom = a non-kino experience.
But hell, I'm largely talking shit here... I'm sure there are shows which glorify the 00's just as there are probably more reasons for why the 90's and 00's seem so different from each other.
>the world seemed smaller when I was a kid
you dont say
I mean that retrospectively... Not as it seemed to me back then.
I was a child in the 2000 and things were already shit. The 90s seem to have been much better for those who lived in it.
My parents agree with me that the 90s were better though and they were already in their 30s/40s then
Good post, 9/11 broke the illusion of The End Of History and the belief the world had stabilised into an eternal, immortal present like the liberal-capitalist dream, a dream we were just beginning to fully dream and then we were woken up
>picture of a israelite
Unlikely, israelites are only 2% of the population.
Watch some old AFV. There was an ego or a neurosis that just wasnt there in the 90s and 00s. People weren't embarrassed to be a bit foolish on camera, and when they were there was still a strange "thereness" in people's eyes that you dont see anymore. Phones and computers have fried our collective consciousness.
>smartphone capabilities
Smartphones really took off around 2011 even the iPhone 4S came out
Also around this time YouTube got shitty too
yeah it did but only because it have a reason for israelites to put things into overdrive
i was in high school in a very patriotic southern state when it happened and no one cared. honestly the though that people would actually care or be sad at the news of dead new yorkers is sort of funny. literally the best thing New York is known for is being a horrible dumb full of horrible human garbage
What are your thoughts on the film Mississippi Burning?
Door city over here
I wonder where he got all those doors.
This is either a genius skit or a very depressing tragicomedy. It would be a great sitcom either way.
911 was the best of the 90s, not the 00s. Wat.
911 for the majority of Americans was a shocking event you watched on TV, then you turned the TV off and returned to normal life. 2008-2012 was when you saw the culture fall apart no matter where you lived
Sad but true.
Wait another decade or two when millennials are boomers and the market is ripe.
Also this.
Cant let the zoomers realise whats been stolen from them.
80s is easy, that was decades ago. But if zoomers realise even ten years ago life was dramatically different... then they will start asking difficult questions...
Well kinda this, but not exactly. It's not like 00s were dreamy or anything, but despite being technologically closer to today, it was socio-culturally much closer to its previous decades. When it is something 40 years ago you can potray is as being a different time, but when it is just 12+ years ago, you can't do the same. You can't use any jokes, you can't use smoking, you can't make teenagers bullying their friends calling them gays etc.
Imagine if you are film maker. Would you risk being cancelled for making a film set in 00s, when you could do basically do all you want if something set in an older period?
boomer schizo moment.
op you fricking moron, you need at least 15-20 years for nostalgia to kick in. after years of boomers and millenarians boring us to death with 80/90s nostalgia, 00 nostalgia is about to kick in. see Turning Red.
>millenarians boring us to death with 80/90s nostalgia
What is Gen X? Maybe mid 90s to early 00s is a Millennials wet dream but before that its all the forgotten generation' fault.
>takes 15-20 yrs
>pic is 20 yrs ago
what did he mean by this?
>15-20 years
anon, the mid 2000s was 15-20 years ago
because if you go back and actually watch stuff from the era it's filled with stuff that wouldn't fly today.
And it wasn't that long ago so the people doing it are still major celebrities and powerful businessmen.
too soon, last decade glorified 80's, we are barely entering 90's nostalgia, give it at least 8 years
The 80's have been glorified since the late 90's.
They have been trying to do 90s nostalgia for years it just isnt catching on. Honestly if That 90s Show doesnt catch in idk if anything ever will
>that 90s show
They'll never touch that concept again after pic related.
I remember when this dumpster fire aired, it was so disappointing
Anon. They are literally touching it. I think it comes out sometime this very year on israeliteflix. Its most of the 70s show cast, but apparently the main characters are kitty and red with the others making appearances occasionally in episodes. Kinda sounds like that Fuller House shit.
>most of that 70s Show Cast
>Kelso and Jackie are too expensive now
>Hyde raped so many people that not even Scientology can cover it up
>Nobody's heard from Eric in a decade plus, is more famous for not releasing his Star Wars Prequel cut than anything
>Donna is also a scientologist
I look forward to That Fez Show
This is actually probably a big reason it focuses on those two and the other characters will just make appearances. Its much cheaper to bring Kunis/Kutcher in for 1 or 2 episodes than have a whole fricking season of it with them.
>these are the That 90s Show kids
I get that they can't get it made without casting diverse or racially-ambiguous actors but wouldn't this look odd for 90s Wisconsin?
Actually, no. The asiatic would just be the child of Hmong refugees and the mulatta would be adopted after being abandoned in Milwaukee by its mud shark mother and Black person deadbeat father. The other four appear to be white in the way Bulgarians and Italians do. Maybe that chick in the lower right is a asiatic, too, and she could just be some adoptee. Late Nineties in any city larger than 10K, that would fly, but it is strange that none could pass for German or Norwegian in a state that is half-German with the next largest white ethnic group being Norwegian.
This pic was 1990 in small-town Wisco, and we had, in a high school of maybe 800 people, at least a couple dozen other shitskins like the one first row right. Actually, two of the students here are Mexicans.
Huh, fair enough. Casting is about right then
They won't touch it because it wasn't significantly popular outside the US. Everything is about global popularity now. If it was popular globally (western world or China/ Japan) it'll get rebooted. If not no chance.
What about stranger things appeals to global popularity? Also they are making the show.
>uses based Killing Joke for theme song
>somehow fails
Unreal.
It kinda does work. Like Stranger things for example. Takes old school styling like goonies plus basing in the 80s and showing loads of old stuff and cultural norms makes people very nostalgic. Maybe you don't see it because you aren't old enough to be affected by it. But it works.
It doesn't work alot for the younger generation like 90s kids because they don't do it well. They just reboot 90s classics but change them which people feel ruins it. It's because of the modern culture now. Before it wasn't yet so bad and some stuff was made decent but now it's so far gone it's impossible for them to do nostalgic content right.
>muh politically correct version of past decade
frick off gay
Lost nostalgia has been in for almost a decade now
uuhhmm.. if you even have to ask you're pretty problematic sweaty..
not enough time has passed. Usually takes about thirty years for a time period to be romanticized.
Britney Spears all the way.
It's not even a question.
christina aguilera was super hot during her girl-next-door, pre-xtina phase
She is unironically, non-meme mentally moronic.
>a young woman pimped out by her parents and passed around to different execs since age 12
you don't say?
That happened (and is still happening) to other women who were not actual, literal morons. So it's even worse with Britney.
Nice tummy though.
among other things
that's gonna get a HNNNNG from me dawg
she's like a zoomer trapped in a mom's body
still would
She's just from Mississippi. They are all that way.
Louisiana. We are even worse.
I am happy Britney has finally been freed from her slavery at the hands of her parents and the mickey mouse club.
Is this picture shopped? Wasn’t she wearing jeans here?
I really miss 00's fashion for girls. Leather pants and bare midriffs.
>bare midriffs
thats more popular than ever now
Dude everyone is dressing like that and it sucks, i miss the good ol preppy style of the early 2010s
the lace shorts and white striped shorts on a chick give me an instant donger.
>Dude everyone is dressing like that
Where do you live? I have a big fetish for leather pants and it's very rare that I get to see it in public.
Last weekend i go out with a tinder thot who had a leather pants and it look awful, i got embarrassed, i didn't even frick her because of that
Literally gay
the girls were definitely a lot cleaner looking than the """""women""""" we have today
Not to mention there wasn't this fat acceptance bullshit. I don't advocate being an butthole to overweight or obese people, but don't dress in clothes not intended for your size.
Speaking of girls, the 00's was the last decade you could get away with showing hot girls and women in magazines, movies, shows, etc. and embrace their sexy feminine features openly. 2006's Dead or Alive adaptation would make the feminists shriek.
It's gone because women are too fat on average to make it work.
Christina has the better voice, but Britney has really made some fricking bangers.
Britney has the voice of nails on chalkboard but she certainly had the best producers and the best songwriters behind her.
Disgusting femoids
nostalgia for what? boy bands? rap/metal? pop music? all of that shit was fricking gay.
it was a great time for video games
THIS
Vidya was amazing in the 00's. No woke bullshit being forced in. Star Wars was better off focusing on console games like The Force Unleashed and Knights of the Old Republic. The PS2 had a great catalog of games. PC games were great too.
Because they sucked.
>9/11
>Iraq and Afghanistan
>Housing market collapse
>Great Recession
>Shitty music, beginning of mumble rap
>political correctness completely taking over society
All around culture and society started sucking and has never gotten better.
You know we are talking about 2000s and not the 2010s, right?
the 2010's were just an extension on the 2000s
same wars same, same fricked up policies, shitty pop and rap/rock never went away everyone one had a pearl clutching reaction to anything mildly offensive.
Welcome aboard kid the ride never ends.
The first half of 2010s were an extension on the 00s. The second half started the current culture we live in.
Obama ruined everything by bailing out the banks and legalizing domestic propaganda on the citizenry
not to mention saying "Trayvon Martin could have been my son", telling all black people, basically "it doesn't matter if you become president, white police will still want to murder you for no reason" and here we are.
It fricking baffles me that Trayvon gets so much attention when there were actual cases of innocence like Tamar Rice or John Crawford.
Tamir Rice pointed an airsoft gun at the police and Freddy Gray was a felon 10x over. BPD are saints and should be given free reign to execute criminals in the streets.
In Rice's case, the squad car sped in and pulled up right next to the kid. Video footage shows that Tamar was lifting his waistband to show the airsoft gun. He wasn't pointing it at the hair-trigger cops who obviously had no clue to properly approach. Poor judgment yes but when a squad cars zooms in and you have cops with guns drawn shouting, no shit the kid wasn't properly thinking and didn't drop to the ground.
Not to mention the dispatcher failed to inform the cops that the caller said it was a kid and that the gun was probably a toy. Good fricking job they killed a kid who didn't have an actual handgun.
No idea who Freddie Gray is. I mentioned John Crawford because the butthole caller admitted he lied about Crawford pointing the toy rifle at people in the interrogation video.
Rice being murdered was similar to when I spray my driveway for weeds in April
Specifically, the 2nd Obama administration. Democrats had lost their legislative majorities, and, instead of scaling back and writing common sense bipartisan legislation (which is what Clinton did after the '94 midterms, say what you must about him) and trying to shore up as many potential voting blocs for 2016, they decided to legislate through the culture. Obama and his desired policy items were everywhere, appearing on ESPN to share basketball brackets, slow-jamming the news on the tonight show, etc. And the whole time, the near totality of our corporate media environment was sweeping his inefficacy on both foreign and domestic policy matters under the rug and calling anyone who disagreed a racist. Its really no surprise in hindsight that a large swath of the electorate finally said "alright, we're done playing civil, frick you too" and turned to the guy yelling fake news at his rallies. Every single one of those resistance its-a-dangerous-time-to-tell-the-truth wienersuckers had a hand in creating Trump, no one is more responsible
Anyway, Britney was hotter
On what decade do you believe 9/11 took place exactly?
The 10s?
It's all over the place. Are you younger than 20?
I'm in my early 30s
Are you married to a man?
yes and im trans btw
>mumble rap and political correctness in the 2000s
The 2000s don't include the 2010s
I grew up in the 2000s, nobody ever talked about politics. Even in the 2010s I never heard politics being talked about. That all changed in 2016 when Trump became president. Everything became woke. Everything became politicized. Democrats went from being moderate left to very far left.
everyone was constantly talking politics throughout all the 2000s. you were just too oblivious to notice. e.g., racism, sexism, political correctness, religion, attacking historical narratives (did you know... white people are actually BAD?!), actively undermining the family and parental authority, etc.
politics were talked about, but there wasn't the same air of seriousness it has today because it wasn't as threatening speaking your mind
back then having the "wrong" opinions just means people disagreeing with you, at worst arguing with you
nowadays if you have a "wrong" opinion, you lose your job, your life, your reputation, and sometimes even your life.
and back then, only nazi shit warranted this response. nowadays anything that is not socialism is seen as "wrong" these days. the average political climate has shifted so far left that even being a classical liberal is seen as right wing.
what's worse is that those twisted fricks at twitter will cheer your downfall and even death that they brought upon you if you even dare to try and believe anything that is not textbook marxism
unironically frick this gay earth man
QFT
This is why you never air your opinions online on Facebook or any social media. Gray Rock theory is a must nowadays.
>and back then, only nazi shit warranted this response.
nah, back then the ADL defended nazis. now they call you nazis for voting republican. it's unironically more dangerous to be a trump voter in a left-win sphere today than it was to be a literal nazi or a full-on "God hates gays and wants american soldiers to die" WBC cult member.
This post is moronic, Twitter leftists have no power in real life. Also wokeness peaked years ago and is dying fast.
>Twitter leftists have no power in real life.
tell that to people who lost their jobs or got doxxed and their life was threatened because of twatter c**ts
politics were talked about but only you heard it on CNN. movies were still very normal back then unlike today where everything is far left. I went to school in the 2000s and early 2010s and nothing political was ever talked about. A transgender student in school would have been unheard of. If I were in school today 50% of students would probably be gay or trans. I never said no politics was ever talked about at all, but only on TV and it was very boring to watch and nobody bothered to pay attention to. Social Media companies still supported Free Speech. You can say Black person and not get banned or censored. Everything has become woke now. Cant even watch a movie nowadays . Companies didn't tell people to be less white and make anti white statements. Companies didn't change the names of their products because some people got offended even though it was never controversial for decades. The 2000s was never like that. Everything was still to the most part very normal.

anon's, is THIS a BOT? It seems to be repeatedly spamming the same or similar posts....
Just because you were like 6 years old watching Rugrats doesn't mean nobody talked about it. George Bush was a very controversial president
Sounds like you were living in a bubble, that shit took center stage right after 9/11 and all you heard about was keeping abortion legal, letting gays get married, being nice to Islam, allowing unfettered immigration into the the country, whites are evil racist and then it boiled over when Obama became president and it all became ingrained into the culture.
The late 90’s early 2000’s were kino despite 9/11.
The reason they won’t make a show about it, is because the characters WOULDN’T be constantly glued to smartphones, twitter and living in fear of covid. Viewers wouldn’t understand just what the frick was going on.
That something was called life.
correctness completely taking over society
that really only started around 2012
OH BABIN BABIN
because nothing good happened to the world after the 90s
We need a feature film adaptation of this music video
His hair is bussin fr
it's weird how different choreography is from actual dancing that people do.
90s CGI was peak SOUL.
top 10 brutal moggings
one job https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEb2CecR11I
The 00's was just the soulless version of the 90's.
>implying '90s had a soul
'90s entire shtick was literally feeling empty and unfulfilled. starting with grunge music and ending with Fight Club.
*zipper opening sound*
Mya and Christina, sure.
Pink and Kim, hard pass, belong in trash.
I'd bang Pink.
Correct
yep, jerk offd to this countless of times
mostly to the brown redhead no less
Bro they looked terrible what are you smoking
kys, zoom-zoom
We didn't know any better at the time. This was way better than underwear catalogues.
These are men.
go back to your Euphoria thread, gay
I like the 00s but this is the one of the worst examples you could have given. All of them unironically look like men in drag.
most jerk offd MTV video
They look like they frick black guys.
This is what they took from you.
The fact that could easily still look like this with just a few more wrinkles but chooses to dress and chop her hair like a lesbian makes me irrationally angry.
Zoomers wouldn’t be able to handle it
Zoomers have it too easy, i remember jerking off to a christina aguilera cd case in my friends bathroom back in like 2002.
That's nothing. I used to have to beat it to my mom's jc penny's catalog.
My homie, still remember using yearbooks and sears catalogs
>the year book wank
bit of nostalgia here
bruhs I once saw a knee of one my crushes and couldn't stop fapping to it for days
You joke, but back in the day, just catching a glimpse of a whale tail would keep me boned up for weeks
00s sucked, pop culture was already entering the phase of bland recycling we're so deeply mired in now. Any wistfulness for the days of Bush-era nonsense is pure nostalgia. It was an awful time but like the said in Children of Men, it was a time when people refused to accept that the future was just around the corner
So many wholesome faps were had in the 90s. It was the last generation where you could justifiably open a magazine and that was the top-tier fap material.
My sister used to get fashion magazines. Waify 90s models showing their nipples in see-thru high fashion tops really did it for me.
Same bro
Not even kidding. I used to wait for new TV guides to see pics of 10/10 girls in sexy poses.
I remember one guide featuring pic related on front cover. Not even reveling clothes or whatnot, and yet I was cumming like crazy because of Hershlag's sexy look.
>muh 9/11
Why do zoomers propogate this myth? The early 00s were kino. Real death of culture was circa 2008 when normies got onto the internet en masse with the iPhone.
I was in college when Obama was elected and saw things deteriorate sharply during that election.
The second term of Obama was when things started to go downhill.
Yeah, about that...
2012 was the overkill.
Nailed it.
Kino times we have to go back
yep
Yeah, no shit. Circa 2008.
for as gay as 9/11 and the war on terror were for society at large and increasing state surveillance programs, the mass adoption of iphones was so much worse
normies should've never gotten phones
>boomers detected
They're right, you know.
The world is going to shit, but clinging to the past isn't going to change anything. Either get yours and tell everybody else to frick off like people have been doing for thousands of years, or go outside and do something useful. The technology isn't to blame for things getting bad. It was always going to get bad because of the cultural influences that were starting to get worse. My life is objectively better because I have access to unlimited knowledge. It's not technology's fault if you can't raise your kids to not be trannies.
That's all neat until you realize that an absolute nobody in bumfrick nowhere will be able to produce deadly virus and destroy civilization. This is our only chance now. All coal on the surface is gone, and we need modern technology and knowledge to access deep stores. If we revert to industrial era, there is no another industrial revolution.
Now that the dust has truly settled (2 years), which version of Xtina's critically acclaimed (by me) Reflection has more soul?
I prefer whoever the frick sung the in-movie version. this is like comparing idina menzel to demi lovato
Tummy kino.
They really fricked Britney in so many ways and he was a laughing stock of the entertainment factories.
legit my fave brit brit video. Her breasts looked huge here.
So much innocence
For me it’s lucky
God damn
12 year old me spilled so much to this shit on mute. It was a magical time
>12 year old me spilled so much to this shit on mute. It was a magical time
same but it gave me a panty sniffing fetish
I try to recapture this now and again but Redman's mouth in the beginning always puts me off my groove lmao
this gives off the vibe of anal sex with brown stuff and yes, I wasted buckets on this shit
glad to see women were already prostitutes back then, and men already beta cucks
i wonder why cucks like
miss this time, whereas it hasnt changed
I want to go back
That might get people to start being more interested in the non-glorious side of the 2000s and there are still people in power who really really don't want to have to deal with the repercussions for that shit.
Talking about meth and painkillers destroying the Midwest? Lost a lot of friends to that shit at the time. It's all misery though, no one wants to see that shit for 90 minutes on the screen
More about Hollywood, but the meth epidemic is another topic they don't want to deal with.
oh man, you nuts are always talking about women hitting the wall, tara reid sprinted and dove into a wall head first
Reid and Lindsay Lohan really crashed in the late 00's. Mischa Barton did too though she seemed to recover.
So instead, we get shit like Euphoria?
Euphoria was incredible
Because the boomers/gen Xers still hold the powerful positions and aren't done creaming over the 90s yet. If you weren't young in the 00s then it doesn't bring back fond memories.
but there are practically zero 90's based movies out, they're still hyper focused on 80's nostalgia.
2000s kids aren't old enough for most to hate their life and be desperate for nostalgia to remind them when life was better.
How about how light hearted and fun everything was. If you've never seen a Zoomer reaction to old Cinemaphile meme's they literally cannot understand how that shit was funny.
>Like dude where's the Irony and the 6 layer messaged about how I want to kill myself or blow up the united states government
This is the most important difference between then and now.
2000s nostalgia is already big on certain parts of the internet. Wait until it gets fully adopted by the internet and then boomers will milk it for all its worth until we go back to 80s nostalgia.
If you have nostalgia for the 2000s then you are a zoomer
Because World of Warcraft was released and pretty much everyone just stopped doing things.
Unpopular Opinion:
I was 16 years old in 2000. The overt bawdiness of the era always made me cringe. Not just talking about the women either. All the guys wanted to be pimps and drug dealers.
Wow you sound like a fricking dweeb
A lot of women from that era don't want you seeing their old pictures where they played the bimbo for years to get ahead to where they are.
Might make public opinion turn on them when the young Megans realize their hero was a Stacy back int he day.
suckable toes. would love to see her holes and soles
I notice skinny girls in the 2000s had a softness and pudginess to their bodies. Skinny girls today look oddly masculine.
>the world was so much better and wholesome when Christina Aguilera was on top of the charts.
Christina Aguilera today.
What the actual frick? Won't those rhinestones just come off in your ass?
>the world was so much better and wholesome when Christina Aguilera was on top of the charts.
Who says this? that's nonsense.
All the idiots fawning over the early 2000s.
Early 00's was a comfy time even with 9/11 and the War on Terror. It wasn't until the 2008 recession and the wide-spread distribution of early smartphones as well as social networking grabbing people's attention fricked things over irrevocably. 2000 to 2007 was still a time when things made sense and nobody got bent out of shape as much as today.
xadies and xentlemen, there's your She-Hulk
i turned myself into a dildo morty!

You don't even wanna know about it
Frick why tf are these hot singers making themselves look ugly or weird as shit when wearing strapons
Just dress like your normal sexy loose self and let me fap to the idea of you pegging me
Do we even have 90's nostalgia? That decade can be roughly divided into 3 segments:
1) Spillover of 80's in 1990 to fall 1991 when the Soviet Union fell
2) 1992-1996 asserting itself as its own decade with new jack swing, house music, and electric pop being phased out by grunge and acoustic introspective music by 1994 and 1995.
3) Turn of the millennium in 1997 to 1999 where we saw proto-2000's with the R&B and hip-hop scene as well as more emphasis on media and being tech-savvy in pop culture
Race relations for instance had its ups and downs between black and white with the LA riots, Abner Louima and Amado Diallo but there was still a strong emphasis of ,"Hey, let's fix our problems together instead of blaming each other". There were a frickton of black sitcoms as well as dramas depicting black characters that had nuanced views of society. Or how the black community needed introspection to fix its problems. And "no snitching" as well as colorism amongst blacks caused serious problems.
That's every decade. Look at the 80s.
1) Spillover of 70s (western wear, soap operas, and truckers)
2) '83-'87 is "the 80s" with all the meme shit
3) proto-90s fashion develops and college rock/grunge starts happening
I know. What I'm saying is that we haven't had a real 90's sentimentality in TV and movies yet.
Shows like the original Beverly Hills 90210, Martin, The Jaime Fox Show, Ghostwriter, Step by Step, Family Matters, California Dreams, early Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the 90's seasons of Friends, Mad About You, Wings, The Parent Hood, Sister, Sister, Round House, Baywatch, Pacific Blue are glimpses of how the 90's as a decade was like. Nobody can reenact this easily compared to the 80's nostalgia we've had.
As for 2000's, it's too recent. I know 2000 is 22 years ago, but the tech and styles aren't that foreign to a 2020's audience. More primitive in cell phones and Internet but a 2022 kid can still relate to that time. The fashion and music might throw them off a bit, but you can get away with it. It's the societal norms and views that might offend certain demographics.
how is Seinfeld not in this list?
I forgot to list it. I was just naming every 90's series I can think of. But that too depicts NYC in the 90's as much as Friends did.
Blade wasn't a black progressive Marvel hero, Blade was just a cool motherfricker. Red in Shawshank Redemption wasn't blackwashing diversity hire, Morgan Freeman was simply that good and the movie even addresses it directly (why is he called Red if he is not a ginger like in the book). Tomb Raider wasn't strong woman needing no man, it was just another cool action flick, just like the 5th Element. Sarah Connor is to this day peak movie woman and a black man is the smartest character in the Terminator franchise, and very heroic too. Xena and Gabrielle were a lesbian couple but no one was focusing on it. There was no pandering, movies and video games were made with focus on story and immersion. Even if it wasn't a good story, there were reasons other than just sjw agenda.
Exactly. Characters were treated as people and not tokens or mouthpieces. Shit there was an episode of Married With Children where Al hangs out with a gay man and had no problem with him. Carl Winslow and Philip Banks were great TV dads with flaws yet you could respect them.
There was always PCness back then, but good writers and staff made sure to have good stories and acting first and foremost.
True
There's How I Met Your Mother. It was directly modeled after nostalgic TV shows like the Wonder Years except the nostalgic frame setting was in the future and the flashback portions were set in contemporary times in the 00s.
Everything went downhill when smartphones became popular
The only shit I hated was that Black wanna be eminem that guy was a total homosexual b***hing about everything fricking emo should be dead.
https://m.imdb.com/list/ls000009131/
Man, 2000 was incredible for film
that maxim mag issue with christina
i jerked it so hard my dick bled
Black Mirror almost did for like 2% of San Junipero
Though they made 80s and 90s look way better. Was 00s really that good?
What are you talking about?
There's a huge Y2K Trend going on right now in Fashion and Music
It will hit film too soon
I'VE BECOME SO NNNUUUUUUUUUMMMBBBB
CAN I GET A ENCORE, DO YOU WANT MORE
cool
Because it would remind people that not that long ago things were infinitely better and that's way too risky.
Note to zoomers: when people talk about "the '00s" they mean roughly the first half of the decade, not like 2008 when you were born. By the time the first iPhone released, culture was already dead.

God I miss the 00s. Glad I was born in 98 and got to grow up on this kino right before the world went to shit.
based 98bro
You were in highschool from 2012-2016 which were shitty years.
I know, that's why I'm reminiscing on my childhood.
I wonder how Covid impacted the discourse in college since there's a lot of remote learning?
from a mental standpoint, that picture is probably when those two were the healthiest, and thats sad. Frick hollywood
The 00s only really consists of 2001-2006. 2007-now is basically the same hell era.
You mean 2000-2007. 2008 is when the world went to shit because of the recession, rise of Facebook, people started buying iPhones en masse, etc. 2007 was the last "real" year.
90s nostalgia shit only just started in media. Wait another decade.
Make way for some more Late Millennial/Early Zoomer kino.
The early 00's was interesting how anime really burst onto the mainstream thanks to Toonami and the US mimicking it like Teen Titans did.
Totally Spies also did it, although that was a French show.
Yup I remember that. The French were weebs WAY before the US because they got tons more anime and even tokusatsu (Japanese superhero live action) years before the US.
That show with Seth Rogan and Bucky about Pam&Tommy was a pretty cool flashback to the 90s/early 00s. I grew up in buttfrick nowhere so my perception is kinda warped. I had a dial up modem and Gateway pc till about 2005ish.
We don't have the technology yet to fully replicate the beautiful soul of the 2000's
~~*They*~~ don't want us to remember the world before 2008.
And by ~~*they*~~ you mean Bieber fascists like yourself.
This. fascists hate everything before 2008 because it's "degenerate" and wouldn't exist if the Nazis won WW2.
there are a few
Uh, excuse me, they already did, and it's the best show of all time: https://youtu.be/PTvTnmUFOXw
It's not time yet. Give it another decade or so. Nostalgia seems to work on ~30 year cycles.
Nowadays maybe but The Wonders Years debuted in 1988 and depicted 1968. That 70's Show debuted in 1998 and depicted 1976. The 60's and 70's are so removed from 80's and 90's audiences because of the political climate as well as fashion and music.
The 2000's aren't that out of the loop since most kids and teens can pick up on its dated tech and styles easier than earlier times.
Take Supernatural for example. It debuted in fall 2005. You still had flip phones and high-speed Internet wasn't as prevalent. The series ended in 2020 (never thought it would run 15 seasons). A fan can rewatch the 2000's seasons on TNT and it wouldn't be as dated compared to Charmed or Buffy which began in the 90s though they did end in the early and mid 00's.
Pussy and facefrick: Aguilera
Anal: britney
Life has always been shit.
People got over excited for new millennium and had high hopes
They were predictably disappointed and even worse because of 911 and the start of empty soulless modern global cultural change
Yeah we lost our optimism and earnestness. If you look at 90's shows and movies, there's an actual feeling of depth toward people and ideals. Nowadays being a snarky butthole is considered a personality.
How people are nowadays is one of the results of the modern culture shift
Gen X was nearly as bad but they had their boomer parents and silent generation grandparents to tell them to man up and quit b***hing. Now the Xers are coming into leadership with no one to pull the reigns back on their cancerous nihilist dogma
The fricking offended millennial like myself will never be topped though. Growing up making dead baby jokes then pretending to get offended on behalf of someone else when someone misgenders someone they have nothing to do with.
I hate that SJWism is going to be pinned on millennials until the end of time, but the stereotype has already taken root, god damn it.
All of the worlds woes are millennials fault anon, didnt you know?
graduated HS in '08. take me back to watching adult swim on ventrilo with the boys.
>come home at 11 with a good DUDE WEED buzz, maybe some benzos
>Tim and Eric is on
Was there ever a bigger fricking buzz kill?
12 oz mouse was pretty lame
You are both a moron and a gay.
Why the frick would 2000s nostalgia be a thing? Culture seriously stagnated not long into the 2000s. Seriously take someone from the year 2006 and they wont look too out of place in the current year.
In anesthetics yes, but culturally they'd be somewhat shocked at how there's issues over what constitutes a woman, Roe vs Wade being overturned, everyone glued to their smartphones and social media, and how much of a cluster frick society has become.
it was a shit decade
What about the 80s makes it so popular? That shit has been the nostalgia hit if choice for pushing 30 years now.
Distinct cultural identity geared towards youth
This doesn't exist now
It was a great expression of greater individuality compared to the malaise after Vietnam in the 70's. The rise of the summer blockbuster and how much of contemporary culture traces itself to what the 80's established.
creative pop culture, almost the birth of cultural stereotypes. great music, and movies, games, toys. Preposterous fashion yet unmistakably iconic. Prosperous living standards. When USA was still the envy of all countries.
Also Black person fatigue has not yet come to pass.
For me, it's the late 90s and very early 00s.
Exquisite taste. 1996 to 2004 were god-tier years.
It would be problematic to show women being that thin again
white chick and a Latina, zero mention of race nor how brave and stunning Christina was, not were their søyed article and entertainment news about Brittany hogging the spot light from this brave woman of color.
2000's kino reached unimaginable and unreproducable heights. And unlike the 80s and 90s, the technology was good enough to where there's no market for reboots.
Go to bed, prequeltard
because 9/11
They will in ten years, but its a shit decade.
00's were a dumpster fire of a decade, at least the 90's had cool shit like music and movies. 9/11 ruined everything.
i remember only homosexual whites used to say dumpster fire. i guess hispanics latched onto it thinking it will impress pol
Meds, take em.
The 2000s were easily 10x better than 2010s and 100x better than 2020s.
That's called a steady cultural and societal decline.
It was a shit decade but everything looks better in hindsight when your civilization is rapidly sliding off into the abyss
can you fricking wait a little? it's like you dont know how to cherish something and need it in easily consumable media format
literally bcs fricking moron
2004-2012 All that great music like 50 Cent and Nickelback and and 3rd rate nu-metal and movies like White Chicks, and Soul Plane, Dwayne Johnson movies.
lol KYS.
I'm surprised zoomers don't love those movies/musicians-- literally everything from 2012-2022 has been nothing but remakes of them.
They only remake 70s and 80s movies.
the internet made all that shit irrelavent. before that all you had to consume was whatever ~~*latest band*~~ they paid to get onto the radio unless you were lucky and had a local scene. theres so much fricking music these days its your own fricking fault if all you can do is cry about justin beiber
Waa waa wee waa boi-oi-oi-oing Hachacha Chachacha *KAZOO NOISES*
Hey guys this thread is, and I cannot overstate this, giving me a big old boner.
Because history has been over since the fall of the soviet union
It was when m00t was eaten by sharks
They glorified themselves.
All the college comedies, stoner comedies, coming-of-age comedies, spoof comedies, etc
They were all glorious tributes to the current culture and pretty much require no revisiting.
Millennials will own nothing, and like it. Beginning with culture. They just adopted Gen-X pop culture, and the corporate machine was happy to exploit them using IP they already owned. Such a tragic generation.
Gen X had Power Rangers, Pokemon, and Yugioh?
The 2000s suck anon
>9/11 looms all over the decade
>Iraq and Afghanistan
>Patriot Act
>Every field of art was so shit that LE WRONG GENERATION gays were born
>Web 2.0/Post 2007 internet
>DMCA israelitery
>2008 Recession
>Ringtone Music and music in general sucked
>Capeshit and Transformers killing blockbusters
they cute
The 2000s had hot women and we can't have that now said feminists and now cucks agree with them so society will just keep getting gayer and gayer
Women walk around naked in public now. You can pull up naked women on your phone
The 00s were when the good times officially ended.
because the late 90s and 00s were peak anti wokeness. girls back then were all literally depicted with cleavage and midriff and every franchise stared a cool white dude. racial relationships were also much more calm back then.
if we now got some 00s nostalgia shows they wouldn’t be accurate at all
just like stranger things makes the 80s look like a modern collage campus with everyone beeing gay or a coal burner
>Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera (i think?)
Sorry, i was always Alizée connoisseur
>I'm also in my early 30s and quite frankly if you think life is shit right now you have no one to blame but yourself. 2001 was an event that ended up uniting the country for a few years. All the shady shit that the government was doing was in the background, we didn't give a single shit. If you were young enough, you didn't give a single frick about the housing crisis.
You have no idea what you are talking about, you were just too young to be aware of that, everything you just said just came from the perspective of a child
>Culture began collapsing around 2012-2015. 2004-2012 were peak kino in music, movies, and tv. Look back, you know this is fricking true.
No, it really fricking wasn't. everything fell off a cliff so hard after 2008 it was palpable, again you were just a stupid child
>Get a life losers. You are probably part of the neoreddit generation that spends their fricking day crying about how the world is so unfair to you yet you don't do anything to change that. fricking homosexuals.
And you're still just a stupid child, you sound like a 12 year old trying to troll people on xbox live
I hated the 2000s
The humour disturbed me and the culture was sexualised
Sex is disgusting and shouldn't be shown in public
I would be very happy if no indications of the existence of sexuality were shown in public

2001 is what kickstart the aesthetic
Shitty MV but you get the gist of what is popular then
Peak Aguilera
for me, it's Generation Kill, How I met your mother, and The Office (first seasons)
