Current Events > Are you nostalgic for the 2000s as yet?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Miss anything from then?
---

Nope, and probably never will.

Closest thing is building my first computer and played sub 1.6 Counterstrike, otherwise the 2000s was just me being a stupid and awkward teenager

i feel like less people used their phone as a social crutch back then. kind of miss that. you actually were forced to talk to the person in front of you when you were outside somewhere.

Damn, in just a few months we'll be three decades removed from the 90s.

Yeah, I think it wasn't until 2011 that I noticed people checking their phones during conversations

Sometimes I think about how Runescape 2007's never going to be replicated. The game was pretty goofy and endearing but it was the playerbase at that point of time that carried it.
I know they made OSRS but it just wouldn't be the same, I'm pretty sure it'd just be a bunch of people who want to see it again even though it would never be the same organically.

I think the rest would be more like a list of grievances I have about now than things from then that actually stick out from then.

Yeah. I follow a few 2000s nostalgia blogs. Miss stuff like Razr phones, crunk, and the GCN.

Yeah.

I kinda miss playing Wii Sports tbh.

Im nostalgic of how poppin I was in the party life. I got out of it in early 2010.
---

I miss early Xbox LIVE like Halo 2 days where everyone talked. Now everyone is in party chat.
---

Kind of. Im okay with how things are now though

It was nice.

That is the main time I am nostalgic for. That's when I was in school. Born in 93 graduated in 2012. So each grade I finished in the year with the same number. 2nd grade was 2002, 1st grade was 2001, kindergarten was 2000. I watched lots of 90s cartoons when I could, but the new ones were good too. Spongebob, Samurai Jack, Ed Edd n Eddy. Courage.

yep

Nah not really. More the 90s. Childhood. By 2000 I was starting middle school. That was when life got noticeably more complicated and shit.

Remember 2000s music?

I used to watch ROH shows from 2002-2003, in 2004/2005 they had DVDs at the Tower Records. The Tower Records went out of business a short while later, and I had a bad experience ordering a DVD from their website.

2000's were better than the 90's. I barely remember my time in the latter.

Yeah, I pirated a lot of it. I did buy stuff, mostly to share with friends, but waiting a month for some cheap burned DVDs at $20 a pop to come in vs. downloading it and watching immediately wasn't a hard choice. I used to drive all over PA and New Jersey to go to shows, too, that was great. I'm really happy for a lot of those guys making much more money in the WWE right now, but I just can't stay a viewer of WWE for long.

I would've loved to download, if I knew where, but I didn't have high speed internet until 2007. By then, I had lost interest in ROH.

Do you watch it at all now? It shows on the Stadium network so I've been watching for nearly a year.

The 90s had a lot of great things such as the peak of cartoons, peak of the NBA, peak of wrestling...

Every day. Best cartoons, video games, music.
---

Game wise hell yeah!
GTA
Halo
Gears of War

Basically the decade where I hung out with my friends and played video games every week.
---

Lets see...

2000 itself was still the end of 5th grade for me, so thats nostalgia territory. So a lot of the TV, games, and just specific memories from that year are nostalgic.

Toonami for those first few years of the decade was sick. Early Adult Swim was also legendary.

Nostalgic for the Dreamcast and early Xbox/PS2 games.

Then by the mid-00s I had a blast with the DIY anarcho punk scene, and MySpace made it the golden age of being in an indie or punk band, since networking and getting exposure was easier than ever.

I have plenty of fond college memories form the late 00s as well, and did a lot of exciting traveling during the last couple years of the decade.

Overall theres a lot to dislike about the 00s, but I have good memories of a lot of it anyway.

I watched Impact for a while but they're falling apart. I've watched AEW and will try to give them a shot, they start as a weekly program pretty soon.

Kinda. I was in 5th grade during 2000. It was a very great year for me as I met my best friend to this day and we had fun cutting up in class.

I miss the early years because that's when I was a tween starting to become a teenager. Middle School, skateboarding, Jackass, old 90's cartoon reruns, the music still having the 90's feel for a bit, me and my best friend roaming around the neighborhood on our bikes doing dumb shit.

I kinda miss around 2007 or so. The games (Halo, Guitar Hero, and Runescape were big at the time for me), the memes, the weird culture we had on the internet. It was still kinda new then.

Those were also my partying years. Drinking and smoking and doing other things we weren't supposed to do. We were always listening to classic rock stations, so a lot of those songs are nostalgic to me. Particularly Blinded By The Light and Band on The Run for some reason. When I hear them I can't help but think back to then. Fun times.

But there's the bad I won't go into as most of it is obvious.

It's funny, back then I thought everything sucked and I missed the 90's. Now I'm pining for those times.

Back in the 2000s, I hated the 2000s. Hip hop dominating music annoyed me as a rock fan, every dude did that bleached blonde spiked hair look, everything to me felt like a generic version of what was great in the 90s, games were getting obsessed with being "dark and gritty"...but now, almost a decade later, I do miss the 2000s. I love jamming to the music now, the movies are fun to watch, etc. Still like the 90s more, though.

In the 2000s, I missed the 90s a lot but there were still vestiges of the 90s in the 2000s.

Yeah though I feel like mainstream music at its worst then. It's less bad now.

Freedom, integrity, respect...

I miss silly 2000s era Internet videos before YouTube.

I did feel a little bit of it a few weeks ago (when the Invader ZIM movie debuted on Netflix).

I had actually been rewatching Lord of the Rings and was playing Star Fox Adventures, so I was already in sort of an early 2000s mood, and then that new ZIM movie came out which only made me feel that even more lol.

I'm watching Veronica Mars at the moment and it's fun watching them go to video rental stores, playing OG Xbox, wearing that weird last gasp of 90s era styles with frosted tips and the like.

I liked when it was a big deal when a character could play The Matrix Online early
---

I was born in 95 so yeah, I had nostalgia for the 00s years before the decade even ended. Weird to think that most of my cherished childhood memories took place during the Bush years.

I remember crowding around the computers in middle school to watch stuff like this with other kids. albinoblacksheep was the shit back in the day.

The 2000s were great

can't wait for the '10s to be over, worst decade
