Did the 00s even happen in pop culture? I don't remember anything significant about it. The movies sucked, the music sucked, the fashion sucked. It was like this weird transitional period between the 90s and the 2010s.

2000s at least had Lost, BrBa, Avatar and other shit.

What has 2010s+ put up? They're both shitty decades for pop culture, but lets not pretend it's gotten better not worse.

I spent most of that time in the army and didn't really pay attention to pop culture

>Avatar

You had to have been born before 2000 to know.

>double Simpsons followed by double Malcolm in the Middle
00s were pretty nice 2bh

Feels like people couldn't identify the 90s zeitgeist until fairly recently.

I think all the cultural shit takes time to embed properly in the noosphere.

The 2010s didn't happen.

Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry are all from the 00s. I'm not saying they're any good. I'm saying we're over halfway through this decade, who has replaced them?

> weird transitional period between the 90s and the 2010s
that's exactly what it is
music that isn't as cringeworthy as the 90's but still embarrassing when you reflect on it
fashion that was not as outlandish or ridiculous as the 90's but boring and outdated by today's standards
When I think of 2000's movies I think of the Matrix

Early 2000's was ok. Because it was still leeching off the 90's.

It sucked at the time but it was a thousand times better than the horseshit we're dealing with now.

SJWs literally ruined everything.

This is a very good point

A lot of bands actually but you are too old to know them, by accident I saw a few new bands that are popular right now in some old videos and checked them out. Not even one new was recognizable for me but apparently they are hot shit in the current year.

>Sopranos
only thing worth remembering

9/11 made pop culture grimdark, not edgy like the 90s just grimdark, so now we've got shit like Nolan's flicks to remember the decade by.

00's and 2010's have no identity to them, unlike the 70's, 80s', 90s...

Matrix was 99

>the fashion sucked

>you are currently living in a 1984 dystopian sci fi 80s movie

i can't tell if this feels good or bad. on one hand you have the perfect opportunity to kill your evil overlords and save the world, but on the other hand you might be a schizo retard on an asian knitting forum

>The movies sucked
That's when X-Men and Spider-Man started the current capeshit wave
>the music sucked
Yeah mainstream stuff was shit. Nu-Metal and G-Unit in the early 2000s then I dunno. I can't remember what was popular by the end of the decade
>the fashion sucked
Yup. Baggy pants, trucker hats, sneakers with formal suits or just ties over t-shirts. Then later on the corny Ed Hardy shit

The golden era of Television that was put into motion by Oz began with The Sopranos.

Sure it started in 99 but try telling me the post 9/11 episodes are not the most 00's of things that have that 00's feel

name one memorable quote from avatar without googling

>> the rise of pokemon

That was late 90s. By 2001 nobody even gave a shit about the second gen pokemons anymore

Early 2000 only happened in Europe.
Sorry Americans

Doesn't change the fact that it came out in the 00's, retard. And Unobtanium.

>ah see yoooo jak su-ley

Remember when people used to freak out about the emo shit? Saying how it was the worst trend ever and all that? If only they knew what was to come.

2010s has the worst aesthetic

>le wrong generation

Oh yeah also the rise of nudisney and capeshit.

nudisney and fox were competiting with highest grossing films with their Spiderman and Pirate franchises

transition away from girl and boy bands into pop punk.

fashion was OK, most of the stuff people wore you'd see today.

movie-wise it was the start of cape shit with Spiderman, and Xmen.
It's also when the shitquels came out.

It's not so much "Decades" as they match to precise decades.

For example, for film, I would consider the "80s" movie decade to actually span from around 1978-1992, the 1990s to span from 1993 - 2001, the "00s" to span from around 2001 - 2008 and the "10s" to span from 08-current.

The reason I think of it this way is the paradigm cultural shifts don't seem to happen on a direct clean decade by decade basis.

The 1980s style of film we know started with Jaws and Star Wars and ended with Jurassic Park, it's why Terminator 2 is considered one of the best 80s action movies ever made, yet was made in 1991.

1994-2001 was a distinct period where the 90s really come into it's own and you got all those 90s disaster movies, the whole "RADICOOOL INTERNET" culture start to be injected into movies and CGI that was fucking terrible being injected into everything.

2001 again changed the paradigm of movie making with Lord of the Rings, which set the ground for the whole book series adaptions that dominated Hollywood for that decade until 2008 when Iron Man was released.

As someone who works in the music industry, we largely consider the 1980s ending with largely 1988, since that was when Acid House, Grunge and Britpop hit the mainstream. So decades don't really hit precisely 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010.

Also the 00s were hands down the most fucking boring decade of pop music. Just boring by the numbers R&B. Great period for dance music though.

I'm glad snapbacks didn't last too long

The President of the United States is named Barack Hussein Obama, he was raised in an Indonesian madrassa.

The mayor of London is named Sadiq Khan, his first act in office was to ban advertising featuring scantily clad women.

Germany, Sweden and France are inviting over one million Muslims to live in their country every single year for the indefinite future. France's under-18 population is already 25% Muslim.

Islam will surpass Christianity as the largest religion on Earth by the 2030s.

9/11 was like some kind of absurd warning shot that apparently none of us paid the appropriate amount of attention to, like the Indians probably shrugged off the colonization of Roanoke as a weird novelty.

No, people in the 90's knew exactly that they were a directly counter culture to the 80's.

A lot of 80's culture was specifically Wall Street, live in Yonkers but work in NY.(successful)

90's was specifically, anti-frat, jeans and flannel. The normies wore khakis and polo shirts.

...

american culture peaked in the 90s. it was down hill all the way from there since.

>As someone who works in the music industry, we largely consider the 1980s ending with largely 1988, since that was when Acid House, Grunge and Britpop hit the mainstream.

Interesting. I always thought grunge started 90s music. Before that the typical 80s synth snare sound dominated everything

there's nothing wrong with snapbacks just the whole justin bieber squinting face and hipster bruno mars faggot movement

The flat bills, garish colors and deep crown look juvenile as fuck tho

Blame the dipshit bleeding hearts with their >muh religion of peace and >notallislams bullshit

Excuse me, but can you blow me where the pampers is?

Maybe it's just nostalgia, but pop punk was awesome in the 00s. By the 10s it all turned into either scream or stuff with shifty bubblegum vocals.

>What has 2010s+ put up?


lots of fucking coons in every fucking aspect of society

shit isn't politically correct unless there's black people in it

>It's almost 2007 and the end of the century and it still doesn't feel like the 00s are over.

The 90s were the decade of irony.

Trust me, it's going to seem like the 80's do now when we're older.

When every single person can access all the culture in the world at any time on their phones, the typical curators of culture that would define a generation have a lot less influence.

If the 90s were the era of counter-culture, the 00s and the first half of 2010s are the era of subcultures. There are so many subcultures that it's hard to pinpoint one as being the dominant one that we'll all look back on and remember.

Great post.

This.

Also the 2000s are SHARPLY divided into rough halfs. The second half of the 2000s was very different to the first half. By 2005 broadband internet was well established, myspace had really started to affect music and subcultures. 2006 onwards you had fringe haircuts and metalcore come into their own, skinny jeans start to become popular, etc.

>myspace
>scene, emo kids
>Marilyn Manson

uh fuck dont remind me im glad that edgy cringe shit is over

This is such a shit meme, there's a bunch of memorable quotes but even if there weren't, the Navi are as memorable and recognisable as anything

>00's and 2010's have no identity to them
16 year old detected.

Those decades only have a coherent identity in hindsight. That's how it works, first the decade happens then a few decades later we decide how to historicize it.

>Jewtube
>Social media
>MMO's

Let me guess, you're a Trump supporter?

>What has 2010s+ put up?
Dubstep, trap music, drill music, WSHH, all those rap songs with similar beats, Game of Thrones, twitter screencaps, neo-80s style, vaporwave, man bun, undercut, beard, etc.

9/11 ruined our timeline

now its just islam and leftism 24/7

The 90's were a pretty dire time for American culture, if anything the 80's were the last big cultural push before the long decline.

27year old here. He's right. The internet has produced a kind of cultural atemporality where nothing really changes, but only gets regurgitated.

Well said, user.

So you don't believe Islam is growing in both violence and global influence?

It's a religion of peace, and a few beheadings, mass shootings, suicide bombings and trucks plowing through crowds in European capitals are just growing pains, right?

It was just the transition period that preceded hipsterism and the internet culture becoming mainstream circa 2008

So were the 2000's.

The internet and consumer electronics were just getting good, but not good enough to redefine their spaces. It was a transitional time that will be remember for its awkwardness.

Early 2000s

Mid-Late 2000s

youtube.com/watch?v=aCyGvGEtOwc

2002 compared to 2006 was very, very different. Since then it's been gradual and 2016 to 2006 is a big contrast but it took a long time to get here. I'm not even sure what the fashion is now, pop music has been pretty strong for the last 4 years so subcultures aren't as apparent, everything's become super niche.

So, cancer?

You took videos from two different genres.

That's the problem with trying to define "cultural decades", it relies too much on selective sampling to get an accurate, comprehensive idea of the Zeitgeist.

Lol I aced every test they threw at me, and not a single branch would take me cause of a petty Marijuana Charge. So fucking glad that I didn't just eat that joint now.

>You took two videos from two different genres

Uh, that's the point. They characterise the cultural shifts of the period.

im not the one you replied to but im norwegian so this list is gonna be long and i might forget a few things but here goes:

>boxing
>mma
>poker
>gambling
>stripclubs
>whore houses
>weed
>vehicle related sports

if it hadn't been for their infinitive retardation and endless bullshit they would have made video games illegal but the slow arm of the law will take at least another decade to get there

>If the 90s were the era of counter-culture

No, the 90's were an era of commercialism disguised as a counter-culture.

I thought you guys were talking about avatar the last airbender, not the movie

Brittney Spears and Linkin Park were both making videos in the early 2000s. Different cultural currents can exist at the same time.

>00s
>dance music
>not Pop Punk

Another interesting thing about the 2000s is that alternative culture shaped popular culture in the absence of decent popular music/culture. I can't speak for the US but in the UK everything slowly followed that.

The defining look of the 2000s to me was the emo fringe and skinny jeans that made their way from myspace nice genres to middle aged women wearing them in 2010 onwards. In the UK at least.

The United States went to shit without a nemesis to focus our energy on.

Chinese and Arabs are completely inadequate as replacement villains.

>it's why Terminator 2 is considered one of the best 80s action movies ever made

Nobody thinks of it as an "80's movie".

You're right but people just remember the counter-culture part.

Pretty much every "culture" of the previous decades can be attributed to marketers anyway.

>THE DECADE I WAS BORN/RAISED IN WAS THE BEST DECADE

definitely the fault of social justice warriors

It's not all solipsism. America was the world's pre-eminent military and economic power and soon, if not already, it won't be anymore.

I'm obviously talking about "alternative" culture, not normie stuff. As others have pointed out, normie culture in the 2000s was at its lowest point since the First World War. It was shit R&B and didn't really have a particular look or cultural impact.
