Absolutely no point man, now everyone is just cynical narcissists
Adrian Johnson
LE WRONG GENERATION Yea, because those matrix sequels were so good.
James Clark
movies suck because the idea to cram everything in like an hour and a half is retarded and only works for like a few movies. Episodic shit is where its at.

Benjamin Cooper
have your (you) nignog the matrix sequels were half decent but the world was taken by storm from that first fuckin movie
also old school memes were the best, and potentially the greatest, memes have become stagnant garbage that make me wanna gouge my eyes out
Chase Richardson
Old guy here.
You sound like a complete fucking retard.
Isaiah Collins
this is the most fedora thing ever posted on Sup Forums
you are LITERALLY advocating for trench coats and fingerless gloves
Jaxon Jones
great input nigger you probably nostalgia goggle over something like dungeon master.
everyone has got nostalgia for something and it sucks it wont come back
Logan Smith
Yes, the first movie was downright amazing, the sequels were just an embarrassment.
Lucas Williams
This, I can only think of 1 movie I ever really liked (Saving Private Ryan) but most anime shows I've watched was pretty good.
shows stagnate over episodic inputs, usually the quality dips likein many tv shows. movies are short, sweet and most of the time do a lot more than other mediums
Connor Roberts
why are you even here? Go to bed grandpa, nobody cares
Aaron Wilson
Isn't this constant nostalgiafagging getting a little dull? After a certain point, it's time to move on.

>imgur.com/a/NGU9j F U C K that hurts to look through honestly, where did it all go so wrong
I was born in 1991. Girls from that period are fucking psychopaths. The generation born from 1987 to 1994 are the most greedy and brainwashed people on earth
Chase Reyes
Nah buddy, doesn't work when you WERE born in that generation. Not everyone is as underage as you

SOMEONE END THE PAIN WHY DOES IT ALL TURN TO SHIT
Robert Lee
It will come back, trends go in cycles. You personal favorite brand of tastelessness will eventually be a big thing again but then you will complain about how the new kids just don't REALLY get it or something like that.
But yeah your childhood will never come back
Carson Evans
hot topic people always scared me. i thought they did shit in the woods behind my house and i was always scared they'd be worshipping satan and skinning cats with all the machetes they would leave around.
fuck your long lost clique and the black they dressed in.
Ryan Peterson
>It will come back, trends go in cycles Up until 1999 everyone was somehow normal. There were edgy retarded grunge kids but things started to rotten after 9/11. Emo, hardcore Straightedge and other garbage combined with gothic and destructive punk were the standard. Right in 2007/2008 the ego boosting iphone/ipod/social media and Big Bang Theory destroyed every hope.
Jayden Sanders
Damn being goth was the hot shit back then but then it got overrun by kiddies in fat pants listening to hardstyle. Thank god I've been in my perfect age to experience the nightclub scene and cockhungry bitches back then. Life was good.
Christian Jones

Gavin Jackson
>fingerless gloves
Jaxon Thompson
I disagree, some of the best moments from my life come from the late 90s or 2000s and hanging around those places. I wont say nightclubs had class, but today's world is more selfish and narcissistic than ever before. at least there were cliques where hooking up and having a good time was fair game
Alexander Gomez
I don't remember seeing a lot of fat nerds before but now they seem to outnumber skinny nerds.
What happened?
Michael Gomez
>early 00's is cool now
Levi Hernandez
this literally says it all, 9/11 literally destroyed peaceful culture across the board, nevermind america. when the late 2000s hit, something went wrong and hollow, i cant pinpoint exactly what though. perhaps it was just being involved in terrorist attacks and war that lead to nowhere
Christian Adams
>I NEVER ENJOYED OLD CULTURE LOL WHY BOTHER YOU'RE JUST BANDWAGONING
here you stay
Alexander Perry
Which places? The only good places in late 90s were arcade places but even so everyone was thinking about MTV and fashion. The narcissistic behavior started there. The gothic kids weren't that bad, even some emo kids were nice but most of them went from normal to ego boosting narcissistic freak by 2003.
John Hall
>fooly cooly
Blake Hernandez
holy fuck
Eli Powell
Oh fuck I think I actually know this feel. A couple months ago I was watching Gone in 60 Seconds with my dad, and I swear to god, seeing the fashion from that era almost brought me to tears. Why does everything have to be so bland and lifeless these days?
Ryder Clark
2003 is the literal tipping point though, this was close enough time to when culture completely changed, people became paranoid and less caring, less input on friends and family and more on narcissism. you are right, but i genuinely never understood why all the sub cults got such a bad rap for what they are, little underground cliques that made things interesting. nowadays everyone is literally blending into each other regardless of their tastes, there is no individuality anymore in that sense, besides obsessive selfie pictures and social media illness
Logan Robinson
finally someone in this thread who understands the feeling. it is that void of culture that seems to be missing, like it just disappeared or something. one moment this type of thing was here with us, suddenly it fades in to virtual non-existence. it is a bottomless feeling.
Here's some movies I can think of that might make you realise
>Deja Vu >Blade >Donnie Darko >American Beauty
fuck american beauty is a good one to what i feel about it
Julian Lewis
>there is no individuality anymore in that sense, besides obsessive selfie pictures and social media illness That started around 2003. There wasn't facebook but fotolog(photoblog) was a thing and the depressive narcissistic freak behaviour started there. Then myspace became a thing in 2004. I've seen dozens of people who were normal before 2002 turning into destructive narcissistic freaks by 2003. I don't miss that time. People glorified depression and destructive behavior, no one was happy with playing games, everyone wanted to do drugs and drink until your liver exploded
Gabriel Evans
I mean that whole idea of depression and destructive behaviour hasnt disappeared, it is extremely prominent more than anything else. it just seems that lately culture has completely and utterly stagnated. we used to the future to see what world we would be living in, something cyberpunk perhaps, with all that cultural influence maybe? instead what do we get? this clinical modern art garbage world-view. everything is so sleek and angular in this world, from the modern buildings to the night scene.
Pic related, this picture makes me feel ill, just the perfect representation for what it is in store for us.
Austin Morgan

Tyler Barnes
Ugliness in architecture is done to make people feel ill. That's why music and movies follow the same modern trends of "Avant-garde". The matrix culture, gothic fashion and sub culture of the late 90s were a prototype for what was going to happen in mid 2000s.

these still exist and they're awful

>those pictures so this... is the power... of full blown liberalism
Luis Wright
No. It's much worse. It's art.
Eli Hill
(((art)))
Elijah Perez
I witnessed the birth of girls like pic. I knew it was the end. Their obsession with glorifying mental illness and destruction is the reason why today people see this modern liberalism as normal and part of society
Robert Diaz
everything is cyclical, your pathetic little teenage wank era was not that unique or special.
Zachary Cooper
you're right, it was a stepstone to things like free-flow menstruation and obsessive feminist garbage, but those beginning phases were great, we just let it go on for too long. just like the western world forgot any values
Owen Parker
well this thread was okay while it lasted i guess
Mason Sanders
>soon legend of the galactic heroes logh is firmly on the wall of shame now, you need to update this shit.
James Kelly
name one other era in history with video games, a brand new internet and the general 90's aesthetic. I'll wait, because it never existed you dope.
dont worry this thread will likely be bumped all the way to the top with shitposting. never underestimate nostalgia
Sebastian Lopez
This looks fucking amazing, especially compared to today
Hudson Scott
Good, that was a horrible period where everyone dressed bad and the music was trash.
Austin Anderson
nu-metal was way worse than vaporwave. don't complain.

LITERALLY touching on videogames and yet moved to a trash heap, classic tranny and mentally unhinged mods. they keep shitposting threads about CHADS though, fucking idiots

>One thing about this period was okay Its still all shit. It was a time where everything was trying to evolve, but it still had to go through that ugly transition phase. I mean look at that imgur posted above. The quality of the pictures, the televisions, the fashion, the cars, the everything looked disgusting. Its like aliens came to earth and tried to dress like it was the 80s.
Aaron Murphy

stop the vaporwave cancer, as it's long past fucked up. the only one that can stop it is you.
