People thought THAT was old and gross, past her prime or whatever?
I was in grade 7 or 8 in school way back when the media would shit all over her and Britney Spears (media was was brutal towards pop stars back then). This video specifically I remember she was shamed because her clothes were "too skimpy for her old age" which I just find bizarre AF.
If I had been a bit older and more adolescent back then I would have wanted to tap that big time.

The grossest part about that video is expecting me to believe that anyone ever does aerobics in high heels.

Huh, what is she shamed for nowadays?
Whatever it is though, could be the trauma from aforementioned shaming.

Being a terrible singer. Remember the Eurovision fiasco earlier this year?

Don't know that "shaming" and never heard of it. Only things I remember from the news with her was the kiss with Britney Spears and her always being late for concerts

All I can remember about Madonna in the 2000's is that she was ..an old anorexic whore who wore out her welcome years ago, and that now she suddenly speaks with a British accent and she thinks she can play guitar and she should go f@&! herself.

Politics also yeah, but mainly just how terrible the singing was, despite her being the most expensive part of the evening.

Madonna catches a lot of flack but she's never let anyone deter her from being who she is.

I was like 14 at the time, and I don't remember this at all. Or course, I didn't exactly have my finger on the pulse of pop culture back then.

MTV and Much Music (Here in Canada) were slowly stopping playing music and instead became gossip stations dedicated to pretty much just trash-talking celebrities, bad influence on our children, dress too slutty, too old, etc. That is all pop-culture shows ever did.
Here was one interview Britney Spears did in 2003. This stuff wouldn't fly today:

https://youtu.be/O4CvSRCA9Ro

It's 40 minutes so don't need to watch the whole thing but just look at the Youtube comments to get an idea of what it was like.

This. I don't actually remember anyone giving much of a shit about Madonna at that point, which is why she did the kiss thing with Britney in the first place, in a desperate attempt to reboot her relevance and get people talking about her again.

It's also why she started pandering so hard to the gay community (who were one of the few demographics still really into her) around that point, and why she later threw a fit when Lady Gaga showed up and basically did the same "shock people into paying attention to you" shtick Madonna used to get famous in the 80s.

Madonna stopped making music worth caring about in the 90s, and by the mid-2000s she was basically a sad grandma that most people didn't spend all that much time paying attention to or caring about.

To be fair, though, that might just be more the case that in the mid-2000s I wasn't hanging out with cutting-edge music critics or pop culture obsessives who flipped out over whoever the flavor of the month was. Maybe in those sort of circles people were more into shitting on Madonna and I just missed it. But no one in any of my social groups gave much of a shit about her at all by that point (including one girl I knew who was hugely into her in the 1980s).

Kind of like when Cher decided that wearing a fishnet body suit while straddling a ship cannon was age-appropriate with "if I could turn back time" in '89.

I disagree. I just recently started listening to her and I always skip her 80s stuff because it's so overplayed. Her late 90s/2000s stuff is my favorite.

Yeah, I was a dumb kid who watched the garbage on MTV and Much Music and was brainwashed by it at the time.
