What do you remember from the early-mid 2000s? Does 2007 and beyond feel drastically different to you?

Poverty.

AKA normal life AKA before Obama

Plus 2007 was when cellphones started to get really popular

the differences started right after 9/11

if you disagree, you are too young to have realized

>early-mid 2000s
Smartphones didn't exist in early 2000s, the internet was pretty bare bones, anime was still good, Japan was still dominating mainstream gaming and capeshit wasn't a thing. Twas a different time

No, that's just America. Nothing changed around the world in 2001 and 2002.

...

This is true

Yugioh,that 70's show the Simpson where funny. Crossing the border to the USA was fast and easy, all you had to do was say"American" and you would be on your way

Bionicles

i remember that wave of british "indie-rock" which spawned bands such as bloc party, kaiser chiefs, fratellis, arctic monkeys, ect.

its when i first started to really get into music. kinda miss it t b h, used to enjoy listening to that type of music alot. now i fuckin hate it. havent managed to get that much enjoyment out of music since

Simpsons stopped being funny in 1998 actually

I had a flip phone. Pretty comfy times desu

FYI: Wide-scale monitoring of the internet began in 1998/1999.

Implementation of hardware capable of wide-scale monitoring started in 1996 with the Cisco (7200) VXR and NPE.

I think the world ended in 2007 and this is Hell

Oh, and all the anonymous shit was popular. Habbo raids...

I JUMP FROM /MU A LOT TOO!

tfw getting a razer flip phone and everyone in class is mirin. those were simpler times

Could just be because I'm older but I can define events that happened per year before 2007. After that things get a little hazy and honestly I still feel like I'm 18 like I was in 2007.

What a retarded graphic, so 9/11, Bush and social media happened in the 90s?

2000-2006 was cultural stagnation.
2007 was the real dawn of a new decade and generation.

Not really. It was already really really popular in Japan and Philippines like 10 years before that.

>In 1998, Philippine mobile-service providers launched SMS as part of their services

>Filipinos quickly began using the feature to communicate for free instead of using voice calls

>This low price led to about five million Filipinos owning a cell phone by 2001.

>it became a powerful tool for Filipinos in promoting or denouncing certain issues and was a key factor during the 2001 EDSA II revolution, which overthrew then-President Joseph Estrada.

>Because of the large amount of text messages being sent by Filipinos, the Philippines became known as the “text capital of the world.”

Calm before the storm.

We're one of the Control Universes where we won't die in a nuclear war, but since every other timeline ends with us all dying the number of new ideas starts dwindling. That's why movies keep getting remade and music starts to sound the same and everyone feels uneasy.

Just remember we had President Bush invade Iraq, but the economy turned bad and we elected a hip, younger Democrat who tried to reform healthcare. Twice.

Let's also not forget that Microsoft invented the iPhone back in 1989 and pretty gave the patents to Apple along with giving Apple $150MM in 1995/96 so they wouldn't lose their 'competition'.

I was 11 in 2000 and remember life being generally good. I had an awkward adolescents, hygiene issues. I remember learning what being friend zoned felt like. I remember my dad being happy working for boeing.
I remember dad being alive...
I remember riding bikes during the summer meeting up with friends all around the neighborhood pool everyday. Hanging out with a different crew everyday.
I remember when Xbox live launched
I remember thinking the gay couple was cool for wanting to hang out with us young teenage boys. I remember my friend Josh was just the cool preachers kid.
I remember Josh being alive...
I remember when I started stashing a bottle of crown royal away in my room. I remember after years of being a kissless virgin finally getting my first kiss to a fatcow both girl in a movie theater watching pirates of the Caribbean 2.
I remember being head over heels excited. I remember how tight that fat bitches pussy was.i remember when people would say day or raghead/camel jockey with out social justice warriors. I REMEMBER NO SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS.

Fuck man I remember too much shit.

Pre-2007:
9/11 just happened, we are unapologetic as fuck. Don't like waterboarding? We don't give a fuck what you think OR your feelings. Dixie chicks are against the war? We're going to boycott the fuck out of them into irrelevancy.

2007:
Maybe our president is an idiot. Let's elect this cool black guy. I'm sure he won't irreversible damage

>I remember thinking the gay couple was cool for wanting to hang out with us young teenage boys.

*fat goth girl*
*people would say fag*

Yeah... all my friends got molested. Turns out being the fat kid DID have it's perks. Faggots didn't want fatties.

I never understood how kids over the age of 10 get "molested" like it was an accident or something.

Do you believe they are complicit?

Question for 90s and early 2000s nostalgiafags: Which Sabrina was cuter and more crushable?

Drugs and alcohol. Gays would supply, we got to party. Just lessons I learned. I didn't even find out till a few years later.

Well, how else would that stuff happen? If I were 12 and some middle age guy was wanting to fondle my weiner and other gay shit it'd GTFO of there ASAP. Queers are gross.

>so desperate for booze that you're willing to suck off some guy 20 years older than you

kids these days

Don't we all miss the time when having a flip phone was considered the norm and not a hipster tend.

>Well, how else would that stuff happen? If I were 12 and some middle age guy was wanting to fondle my weiner and other gay shit it'd GTFO of there ASAP.

I agree with you. I also believe that they are partly complicit. I also believe that the pedos and fags try to get in good with the parents so they can condition the kid, so that it is "the kids idea"... kind of a moral crutch.

> Queers are gross.

I think most are vile. I think some are decent people with chemical imbalances/ hormone imbalances/ genetic markers that just make them like dick but aren't interested in raping children.

>Does 2007 and beyond feel drastically different to you?
iphone generation, anyone born after 1995 has completely different experience than ppl before imo. the of iphone in 2007 gave a different perspective to entire generation, plus social media etc.

It's sad. I am just grateful nothing ever happened to me. Kinda red pilled me on fags and their degenerate ways. From what I heard a couple of my friends got butt fucked while passed out. Messed them up alot but they kept hanging out with the same circle of faggots. Then the meth started. That's when they started doing gay shit for real. White people are doomed. I am hispanic but hate spics, only had white friends growing.

Still virgin

waiting for death

06 was the last year I had a stable family and social life I hated texting at the time and remember thinking at the that the Iphone was going to destroy society if it ever became popular, like seashell radios in Fahrenheit 451. Turned out not to be wrong.

Razr was the shit, limelight ringtone was dank I used to listen to it on repeat for like 20 mins and pretend that my phone was a sword.

Even when the top half broke off I had my contacts and every key memorized I could text people and do whatever

Anyone remember fly ribbon the free game?

I can't answer you, Senpai. My life between 9/11/01 and the election of Obama was a blur of guns, drugs, pornography, anime, dark occultism rituals and fascist/racist/anti-communist indoctrination.

i remember going to the park with my siblings a lot, i rarely left our town in fact. I didn't get into internet until i was like 16, but i watched a lot tv and played vidya

im not a old adult but a young early one,but remember the 2000s being awesome, my brother had a flip phone used to troll me all the time with the text to speech feature, had a ps2 with dragon ball z games and kingdom hearts 2, toonami playing even though they are here present time and day. Good times the internet was fun had a business dell tower and kinda decent internet expensive as fuck. Gotta tell you guys though i think the 2000s were the last golden age, everythings all social media dude you gotta fuck someone constantly to be normal. Everyone wasent retarded back then as much as now.
