isn't the kimmunicator basically a pager?

The Nutshack
Loonatics Unleashed

adventure time is the most early 10's thing ever

The Proud Family is pretty much "Black American Culture Circa 2002: The Animation". It even had a Napster episode, months after Napster died.

6teen easily

Everything that was anime-esque

pagers are 80s

>>85491278
Napster is still going; Napster as a dirty word was OK right after they lost their big case because there was no way they could sue, so you could tell a file-sharing story without worrying about making up ridiculous shit, and it's not like Napster was even relevant as a file sharing program by then

The Fairly Oddparents is both a 2000s period piece and a 2010s period piece.

Early episodes like the Tron parody and Channel Chasers are very 2000s. Just look at the shows in CC: Rugrats, Blue's Clues, Dragon Ball.... Newer episodes are very 2010s dated. I saw a few of the Chloe episodes and I doubt duckfaces and smartphone games will be relevant in ten years.

Tl;Dr
Pop Culture of 2010-2013: Nerdy, colourful, retro, a tad elitist but not much, comfy as shit. Popular shows are shit like Doctor Who and Merlin.
Pop Culture of 2014-present: More "adult" for lack of a better term, quiet, "it's okay to be dumb" mentality, emojis, sameness, fetty wap. Popular shows are shit like Law and Order SVU or The Flash

It's so fucking weird how the trend in the early 2010s was "BE DIFFERENT N GO AGAINST THE GRAIN" but now it's trendy to be the same as everyone else and you get a "Tf is wrong with this nigga smfh" if you don't follow all the trends.

It's also cool to be petty now, and block/beat people up for not liking the same shit you do

>>85492001

>smartphones are 00s
Smartphones are late 00s, and 10s. They were nowhere near popular until the iPhone was released in '07.

00s was more flip-phones, to be honest.

>>85492260
Hm, well,
2010-2013: The world felt pretty big and diverse. People liked different things, and it was cool to be nerdy. Differences weren't made fun of, either embraced or tolerated. So say you didn't go to college, but had a nice paying job at a call centre or a bank, and travelled a lot, and were genuinely happy. People would be like "Aah shit man that's cool, here's what I'm doing"
2014-Present: If you have a life like that or a PoV that lift isn't so bad, everyone jumps on you like "NIGGA YOU DONT KNOW THE FUCKIN STRUGGLE. IM OUT HERE WORKIN TWO JOBS TRYNA GRADUATE COLLEGE."

Following the crowd also became a good thing.
Everyone just feels so angry and on edge.

>>85492300
This. I had a fucking flip phone until this time last year.

As Told By Ginger is glaringly early 2000s. It and Mean Girls are all about popularity yet you never see any mentions of the internet.

It's amazing how in less than four years, there was a change in the zeitgeist that shows all the markings of a generational gap, and yet obviously isn't.

It's almost the same with people born early 90s and those born mid-90s. It's usually the latter group who are more into all this Diversity™ crap, for instance.

>>85492369
2010-2013: Social Media as we know it was new
2014-present: Social Media is everywhere and people learned people suck, and so all dreams of Diversity and Globalism died quickly.

Basically, the Internet forced mankind to look at itself in its entirety for the first time in history. Mankind didn't like what it saw.

>>85492502
I was born in '98 (18 don't worry), and when the "nerd shit is cool lol rainbows and skinny jeans" thing happened, I thought I was in the clear.

I never really kept up with trends, so it was weird going to school junior and senior year and seeing it change form that to, "Everyone is good friends with each other, everyone is exactly the same, likes the same music, everyone wears joggers and plain black t-shirts". It was weird, anon.

It seems like everyone born in the early 90s/late 80s still has the "I'm gonna do my life my way and if you do it differently that's cool man. Need any help?" And people born in the late 90s are like "IM OUT HERE WORKIN TWO JOBS BAKA NIGGA"

>>85492610
This desu. Social media back then was in a golden stage. Not too little, not too much. You could still go about your day without putting every second on your snapchat story. Now, I see snapchat stories of girls at restaurants, and all of their friends are just on their phones, and no one is phased by it.

The "Cool until proven a cunt" mentality changed into "Don't trust you unless you can do something for me". It's like everyone tried to become a seasoned action hero.

Smartphones basically have the portability of a laptop while combining the features of things like a watch, a GPS, a phone, a calculator, etc.

Their biggest use is rendering numerous other things obsolete, because it's stupid to have like 40 other devices doing different things when you can have an omnibox that does all of those things better.

I was born in 91 and I've definitely noticed this. I want to know what caused this all to change. Some people have posed that it has to do with how old you when 9/11 happened, but thats US centric so I'm not sure.

The thing that bothers me most about it all is that it's cool to be angry and a passive aggressive dick now. Why?

The Boindocks comes to mind as well.

Holy shit you Leddit "le wrong generation" faggots need a fucking life.

>>85491212
Getting back on topic, these answers are really shitty.

Let me put it this way. If a kid born today asked you in 18 years what life and pop culture were like in 2016, you wouldn't show them an episode of Steven Universe, that wouldn't tell them anything. You also wouldn't show them nuPPG, because it's a shitty show and it's more representative of what out of touch executives think kids like.

Bojack Horseman S3 had a fantastic period piece episode about 2007 that really nailed that authentic shitty 07 flavor. Kim Possible and American Dragon are pretty good examples as well. Dammy Phantom less so, because Butch Hartman loves his stock 80s high school drama tropes too much.

I don't know any 2010s kids but I always thought modern kids were into their smartphones, internet memes, blah, blah. Shows like Steven Univeree and Gravity Falls feel like 90s/2000s kids with some minor modern technologies. Heck, Mabel is an 80s fangirl.

PPG oddly enough probably feels the most 2010s. Bubbles makes stupid meme references and acts like a fangirl

I'm 24 and was in college when this shift you guys talk about apparently happened, and I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

The years around 2010 were just as vapid as they are now. There is barely any difference aside from the proliferation of more internet-based jokes and culture. People were are still welcome and encouraged to be different, but only on an ostensible level. That's why you have all these people trying to outdo each other on Instagram, Tinder and the like, because being different is what gets you followers.

Yeah, you've got dabbing and Fetty Wap now, but you had the dougie and Lil Wayne back then. Mainstream culture has been completely hollow with a different shade of paint over it since the 80s, when the corporate climate changed in favor of formulaic, guaranteed profits rather than organic growth through consumer-focused practices. The Internet has just gave the new shade of paint a striped pattern.

>>85494084
You're replying to kids. Everyone thinks the world magically changed after their formative years.

>>85494084
>because being different is what gets you followers
Not really. Most everyone on social media who's really popular does the exact same thing. It's more like being different became the mainstream so boring one is different any more

>>85493860
>>85494084
I acknowledge that I'm probably being really "back in my day" here, but back in my day, fans didn't drive creators off social media. They didn't drive other fans to suicide based on what harmless thing they liked. They didn't jump at the first chance to completely disown and ostracize someone for the smallest thing. Some people just want to blame the SJW for ruining everything, but I think it's deeper than that. Young fans now are different than the young fans 6 years ago.

I also recognize this is nothing new because cultural shift like this is completely normal.

>>85492063
It was always "cool" to be a vapid, jaded narcissist who thought they figured life out and hated everything while being "comically sardonic".

This isn't new in any sense of the word. And sure as shit is still obnoxious to everyone else as it was whenever it first hit off.

>>85494135

It did, is the Mandela effect, they are falling to worse and worse realities.

The early acts of Homestuck, the good parts of the comic, chronicle the twilight of the Web 1.0 days. The Internet used to be an untamed frontier where people who didn't have much going for them offline could forge meaningful bonds of friendship, and to this day, Homestuck is the most faithful, honest, and relatable depiction of Internet friendships in media I've ever seen. Now, the last half of Homestuck, where shit starts going downhill and staying there, will soon enough be a dated collection of references to the dawn of Web 2.0. The difference in quality of the two halves of the comic mirrors my opinion of Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. I really do miss the way things were, I miss the virtual cowboys, I miss our refuge from the normies. But I think I would admit, when all is said and done, that the normalization of the Internet was necessary. It just needs to be something better than what it is right now.

>>85492300
You're forgetting that rich people had Palm Pilots and Blackberries too. It just didn't catch on for normies until the iPhone.

Another '98 fag here (also 18)

Everyone, every single generation always says things like "this new generation is awful/different and kids have changed these days." See https://xkcd.com/1601/ and https://xkcd.com/1227/.

I would need evidence to back this up, but really people never change. It's never been really popular for people to really be really really original or go against the grain too much. Like, it's good to make original content and ideas within the culture, but you shouldn't be going out on your own and doing weird stuff. You're either going to be way behind or ahead of everyone else culture-wise if you do that. That's how it's always been. It's not like there was some switch that flipped in the early 2010s or whatever and suddenly everyone wanted everyone else to be like them.

People have always been like this, it's just so much more visible now than it was before due to social media being everywhere. Everyone wants to blame it on the SJWs or the redditors or /b/tards or whatever, but all of those groups are pretty much the same, they all have witchhunts, they all have slight NPD... The only real difference are the specific cultural memes and ideas they talk about.

We're all the same on the inside, the only difference is that now you can read about someone who lives halfway across the world. I think >>85494084 comes the closest to what's really going on, just that it didn't start in the 80s, culture was always like that.

Yo dawg, it is all about the big baby booms and the marketing surrounding it.

The 1950's was when this "mass marketing culture" came to be. After the war, housing became affordable, nuclear families and television controlled the family dynamic and mass marketing started to evolve, which pushed people to conform and buy the same plastic shit as everyone else. Since so many people were having children in the late 40's - 50's, the baby boomers became what most of the marketing focused on. The rebellion against this conformity took hold in the 60's, following this age trend until the 70's were the marketing became really mature and adult. However, the next generation (gen x) born in the 70's was the last biggest one because of the mainstream acceptance of birth control methods the came after this time. Marketing in the 80's turned back to a 50's mentality to follow gen x'ers as well as because of Reagan and the rise in conservatism. The 90's were like the 60's as rebellion against this, aimed at teens and college age gen x'ers. Movies like "This is 40" in 2012 are made to market at these gen x'ers.

If you follow the trend in birth rates, the marketing and culture makes perfect sense over time. The next trend will follow the millenials born in the 90's as shown in this chart.

This is probably what I miss most of the 2000s and what is so difficult to depict. The internet was smaller and while popular, the bulk of internet culture did not come from 'the masses' or mainstream but from a smaller subsect of the the population. There was a greater emphasis on anonymity and/or screen names and interacting with strangers in disparate communities. Those small communities got gobbled up and consolidated and people now are more apt to use their real names and use the internet to augment their interactions with people they already know. The internet is simultaneously bigger (more people) and smaller (people visit fewer sites). Were I a young teen now I'm not really sure how I'd go about making friends online, my younger cousins pretty much only communicate with people they already know in school save for one became he games. So I'd agree Homestuck is a great representation of this, mirroring my own teenaged online friendships and while I'm glad to have been able to experience it I'm also sad that its aging into a relic of the era.

on smartphones: The iPhone didn't drop till mid 2007 and Android didn't drop till late 2008 so smartphones are *very* late 2000s. When I graduated in 2011 the most common phone was still a slider.

"Millennial" is fucking stupid. They keep changing the year limits. According to some dumb studies and op-eds I'm squarely in the Millennial camp and according to others I share so little in common with the definition I'm more apt to be the next youngest generation.

When people on 4chan reference or rant about "millennials" (i.e. "millennials don't know what this is [insert 90s/early 2000s things that millennials clearly know about]", "millennials are spoiled", "millennials are quivering teen tranny twinks" ignoring the fact that most millennials are 20-30 and not teenagers), they are always insulting *just* the tail-end Millennials. Saying "millennials" is just simpler and catchier than saying "late millennials" or "ending millennials".

Earlier millennials (born 1980-1994) grew up pre-9/11 and played outside. Older millennials grew up without social networking, smartphones, and wifi. They can remember when it was ok to homophobic publicly. They knew what things were like before the world was flooded with east european immigrants. They are more right wing than other generations, more likely to start their own business or be self employed than other youth generations. They grew up having crushes on Britney spears, Christina aguilera, Sailor moon, Misty, and Dark magician girl - having crushes on girls is something that any normal boy who's not mentally ill should have. They actually look like men and have testosterone, unlike the end millennials.

Tail-end millennials (born 1995-2000) grew up in the post-9/11 society and seem to be effeminate, promote SJW shit more than older millennials, and they also shout memes in real life. They don't remember life before the Interent and social networking. They are mostly quivering twink mealymouthed faggots and transgenders. They grew up having crushes on Justin bieber and Harry styles, not girls, because the liberal media told them it was "cool" to be effeminate and "experimental". They are the liberal brainwashed, lazy ass, entitled degenerate fucknuggets that you see on news stories or comedy shows about college campuses.

See the difference?

You guys aren't even talking about cartoons anymore.

Anyway, Foster's Home has some references to Wii's and NGC's but otherwise it feels timeless. It could be set in the 80s, 90s, or 2000s.

>>85503424
You must admit, there's a clear difference. Most of the forum posts I've read, as well as sociologists and researchers, say 1995 is the clear birth year where there's a breaking point.

The Internet first came into the public consciousness and mainstream popularity in 1995. Those born from 95-2000 were literally born "on top of" the Internet, and it affected their upbringing real badly.

>>85503523
There's a difference, but it's not as simple as your post claims even if you ignore the insane amounts of projecting in it.

We Bare Bears has a homophone character almost obsessed with being popular on social media, several episodes based around a koala character who is a literal meme, and so many hipsters it's actually set in San Francisco. Pretty decent show desu but it'll be really dated a few years down the road.

>people born before MY YEAR are literally all gay and crushes don't happen anymore

You don't even deserve a "wew lad", just okay.

Okay kid.

i have no idea what you guys are talking about when you say "new" change in mentality. This mentality of trying to be different from everyone else is the norm because it promotes personal growth (which is why it overlaps with puberty). Don't be fooled by the "its ok 2 b common" mentality of recent times, that's just a different way of saying you're different from everyone else if you support the idea. As soon as it becomes the actual norm so that the message doesn't need to be spread, people will move to something else.

Social life has always been about trying to outrun everyone else and ending up being just like everyone else in the process, because everyone is doing that exact thing. It's just a race to the meta. Daria not only depicts one of these people, it depicts her as a satire of these people. If a cartoon from the 90s not only recognizes the edgy teenager but makes fun of its irony, it sure as hell isnt a new thing.

Thank you. I was getting cringed out at all the stupid shit people were posting in here.

This film came out in 2011 and it's dated in a lot of ways (e.g. she uploads a "hipster photo" to facebook rather than instagram, she listens to indie rock rather than hip hop) but it also shows the shit tonne of similarities (e.g. fashion being nostalgic for the 90s; you were not really seeing that in the 00s, which was all about nu-rave and 80s revivalism).
All the sjw stuff really started kicking in around about that time too. You only saw it things like LGBT societies at universities, but over time it started filtering out into the mainstream.
18 year olds trying to generalise about the differences between the early 10s and now really don't have a frame of reference - they were 12 at the start of the decade. A lot of posters in this thread seem to think we've entered a new age of misery since the early 00s, but frankly I remember the early 2010s as still reeling from the financial crisis of '08.
The biggest difference in pop culture between ~2010 and 2016 is that people have given up using "hipster" as an insult.

>Rorschach's Journal, October 12th 2015.
Falafel sandwich in alley this morning, tire tread on burst wrapper. This internet is afraid of me, I've seen its true face. The sites are extended blogs and the blogs are full of shit. And when the blogs finally stop trending, the slackivists will drown. The accumulated bullshit of all their retweets and reblogs will foam up around their waist and all the femnazis and SJWs will look up and shout "Follow us!" And I'll whisper ..."No."

>Now the whole movement stands pn the brink staring down into harsh reality. All those bloggers, petitions, and triggers and suddenly they all realize nobody actuallu gives a shit. Beneath me, this awful network screams like an abbatoir of retarded adolescence. And the night reeks of shitty opinions and bad fact checking.

>>85503321
I think you're suffering from confirmation bias. I'm not even going to argue with you about whether or not SJW shit/memes are good or bad, because I think that's really subjective and I don't really think there's much that separates "objectively" good culture from "objectively" bad culture... No, what I really think is the problem here is the classic form of "kids these days suck" that happens to literally every single generation (see the xkcd comics I posted above). Then whenever you see something that supports that instinct, you take it to reinforce your narrative, and disregard anything which doesn't (ex: I have never known a single boy who liked Justin Bieber and Harry Styles).

Plus, all you've seen of the tail-end millennials so far are their awkward teenage years, made even more weird because now we're growing up with this new technology and everything for which there isn't much of a (mainstream) cultural precedent. Whereas for earlier millennials, you not only have the nostalgia effect, but you also have all of the stuff after the awkward teenage years to remember.

Sure, some people are entitled, and some people are idiots, but that's been true for every generation. People don't change, it's just a lot more visible now because any little faggot with friends and a strong opinion now have the power to force people off Twitter. If this tech were around eight years ago, the earlier millennials would have done the same thing, just with different people and a different cultural backing.

I'm 28. Obviously I can't relate as closely to someone who's 18 because there's a 10-year age gap. When I went to college people still used myspace and AIM, and smartphones didn't really come into emergence until after graduation.

Things come and go in cycles. I'm sure whatever is next will alienate the next round of young people.

As for 2000's cartoons, I'm going to say Jimmy Neutron. There's something unsettling and simultaneously charming about that early CGI.

Not really. The whole hipster bashing thing was people the same age. "You listen to indie rock? Fucking hipster. You DON'T listen to indie rock? What, is it too mainstream for you, you fucking hipster?". Hipster was mostly a thing you called someone else than a thing you admitted to being, and the word basically started meaning "vaguely trendy person who does something I dislike".
Millennial is a completely different thing and it's all about old people not liking young people and technology. You don't tend to get millennials complaining about millennials in the way people complained about hipsters.

Something that separates the early 2010s from the mid 2010s is that I haven't heard anyone say "YOLO" or "swag" in 2-3 years. Also, I haven't seen any bronies in 2-3 years either.

Also, the career progression of late 2000s/early 2010s artists, like Justin Bieber and Katy Perry, seems to mirror that of late 90s/early 2000s artists like NSYNC and the Backstreet boys.

In 2000/2010, you couldn't get away from them, they were everywhere, on the radio, television, etc. But by 2006/2016, they are all but irrelevant in popularity. They've released a few singles which have been decently successful on the charts, but don't really make a splash anymore.

97fag here, in the same boat as you. Grew up in south america where everything was basically a generation behind. Playing ps1 games when shadow of the colossus and other classics were coming out, the dbz hype still lingers, many cyber cafes still have kids coming in to play original counter strike, people still make ska music and dance beats right out of Europe circa 1999, and to some extent that weird innocent jovialism is still there, and social media isn't quite as ever present since not everyone is rich enough to be able to flaunt a smartphone. There's a lot of archaic technology still being used just cause of how cheap it is compared to smartphones.

Still, it's fucking depressing moving to the states where that's all absolutely fucking gone and nobody, fucking nobody has ghat dumb innocent fun, everything is so hyper cynical thst even the "fun" stuff has its head up its own ass.

Bull fucking shit. I know your types and you exist in droves on 4chan. You're a different manifestation of "I was born in wrong generation :^)". Instead, in the most pathetic, unseemly and mealy mouthed way you try and divvy up a generation so that conveniently you end up just falling within the chosen elect, the anointed ones, the gnostic wise ones.

Your first line is spot on but the second is full of crap and I'm almost certain you just -happen- to be a early 90s birth. It's so damn pathetic, just imagine a boomer clinging desperately to the claim that "Oh I'm not actually a boomer I'm really just part of the silent generation or generation X even though by every metric I fall into the same birthyears as other boomers and experienced the same major cultural experiences"

Of course a generation is a broad and difficult to truly generalize thing. Consider how the greatest generation (if not meant to simply mean "was 18 and able to serve at some point in WW2) is used to encompass births from the 1900s to 1920s. Technically speaking this means A could have fought in WW1 when B was not even an embryo, and B is now 20 in WW2 and A is +40 year old married man, yet they are the same generation.

>>85503321 Repeats the gesture albeit with some broken-clock is right twice a day goig on.

I see what you mean but I think the "boomers" born in 61-64 can rightfully claim to be Gen X.

People literally wont believe how much the internet and the cultural zeitgeist changed within the last decade. 2010-11 was the breaking point

Even 6-7 years ago, internet was for nerds and kids, memes were an imageboard thing, feminism had support on par with radical anarchism, facebook was one of the many social networking sites instead of the face of the internet, bush jokes still lingered, people fucking finally realized the middle eastern wars were not for spreading democracy, WoW was literally THE pop cultural thing and face of vidyo along with Mass Effect but vidya was still for nerds, e-sports were barely becoming a thing outside of korea, steaming was a very rare thing and it was community rather than game based etc.

>>85511154

Spongebob is undoubtably the most iconic 2000s cartoon, but it doesn't too much in the way of showing a microcosm of fashion and technology of the time.

sorry children, the "wild west" of the internet was the 90's, anything after 1999 was developed internet, arguably anything after 96 really.

>>85513042
>>the info highway
"The Information Super Highway" was the common buzzword to hype anything going on the internet in the 90's, that you don't automatically cringe upon seeing the term means you are too young to think you were an internet pioneer.

>>85492476
>all about popularity yet you never see any mentions of the internet.
Thats probably a good metric to go by few people will write a story about popularity without mentioning the internet anymore.

>>85511956
>who the fuck uses yahoo
That was my first email service but then never used them again when they deleted my entire account because I hadn't logged in in more than 30 days. This was in 2001 or thereabouts. Even for high school me with no responsibilities this was a huge pain in the ass.

Fuck Yahoo forever. Now it's just housewife games and shitty chats all the way down.

At least not using yahoo meant my friend got me in on the ground floor of gmail when it still required invites so I snagged up a [email protected] email which looks professional as fuck now.

>>85511956
>>85514206
Just a reminder, Yahoo owns Tumblr.

>>85514226
Well they were made for each other. Good for them.

The only reason they aren't worse than microsoft or apple is because they don't have the market presence to force people to use yahoo on smartphones, but they would do exactly that and worse if they could. I hope the company burns, but it probably will be around for the rest of my life regardless of my impotent rage.

>>85514279
yahoo is teetering on bankruptcy, it's weird to me that it took this long, yahoo never really had a functional advantage at anything, it basically had a 4 year period in the mid 90's where is was popular among non internet users due to it advertising its hand build search catalog (yes really, it advertised and actuly used humans manualy adding and categorizing websites to their search pool) and a name that was "fun" and easy to remember, thus being easy to decide by older people who wanted to "get in on this internet thing" to pick up their land line phone and call their stock broker and tell them they wanted to buy that 'woohoo' stock.

>>85493622
It's pretty much a given that a decade's culture doesn't start at the beginning and end at the end.

>>85514446
Yeah, it's just momentum from that brief period of growth. It was also odd in having an old media marketing campaign almost as large as aol back in the day.
My mother-in-law still uses yahoo because she's always used yahoo. I assume most people that do nowadays are the same. I just don't think it will completely go away any time soon, because the number of people still holding out are large enough that even if it gets bought and resold a couple of times the people in charge will just keep that part steady as she goes to keep that user base so long as it remains a net positive.

Those are just shows that definitely were in that limbo of "not 90s enough and definitely modern" . There is no real early 00s "flavor", it was a shitty time where it tried to be 90s or tryhard trendy shit like Boom Crew

Early 00s was literally anime, because that's how utter shit it was, the world looked to the East for its animation and it worked like a fucking charm

So fucking shit, the decade didn't even end before people wanted "the good old days" and brought in retro and hipster shit like Scott Pilgrim

>>85514508
yep the tard money was at just the right time to give them enough inertia to keep jumping and tagging along, their instant messenger was almost okay about 2-3 years after the instant messenger peak, then when they left everything open for bulk spammers for 10 years, though it was funny seeing the chat rooms full of pointless spam bots because the spambots totally pushed out all the human users so there was no one to spam to. their interest forums were almost okay then got edged out by the actual social media surge, then became known as a pedo haven and again left to rot.
it's like a living fossil of the dotcom and tailing era.

>>85514548
>There is no real early 00s "flavor",
you can't really distill a decades flavor till at least a decade after it's over, and it really doesn't get locked in till about 30 years later when the kids from that generation hit middle age nostalgia with enough purchasing power to drive merch.

Whenever "be yourself" is a trend, what people actually mean is "be this very specific thing that is contrary to what was popular before, but is trendy now". Like being a hippie in the 60s or a grunge kid in the 90s. It's not rebellion, its just newer conformism.

Yeah in the late 90s even basic cell phones were a thing that mostly rich kids and people who had to be on call for work had in my experience. It was around 2001ish that it became a thing for everyone over a certain age to have a phone and it wasn't until like 2010 that everyone got smartphones.

Hahahahaahaaaaa

Look at this kid who thinks he was LE BORN IN THE WRONG DECADE

Protip culture has ALWAYS been consumerist and shallow in the Now. All the way back to the days of monarchy. If you think there was some sort of shift away from the genuine in the days since your dad was a kid let me remind you of things like the disco cover of the Star Wars theme that was a hit in '77. Or if that's not far back enough for you, how about The Archies? Or the fact that the Beatles were the 60s equivalent of Justin Timberlake, ie a manufactured pop sensation that broke out and gained legitimacy? They didn't end up on Ed Sullivan because they were PUSHING BOUNDARIES and SHAKING UP THE MUSIC WORLD, they ended up on there because they were pretty boys who sang inoffensive pop tunes about wanting to hold "your" hand, girl.

Hey you know that stereotype in Japanese period pieces of the corrupt official who acts effeminate and has weird eyebrows? Did you know that was because there was an emperor hundreds of years ago who was a flaming homo and the popular court styles of the time changed in that way to curry favor with him?

pagers were already completely replaced in my first job during the late 90s by mobiles, which cost about the same to provision and actually meant you could get hold of someone, meaning all those people who liked to ignore their pagers and cut productivity could be identified and dumped

smartphones really kicked off with the iPhone, but there were increasingly complex pre-smartphones in the years leading up to that - offering cameras (i think even 3mp by 2004, full color screens, large storage caps etc and with data access, though the access depended mainly on the networks which were usually very unready - data was seen as a fad that wouldn't catch on)

it's correct to say that many of these were flip-phones

medical professionals have relatively low rates of unproductive employment because just ignoring a page can result in something that ends your career, and pagers may be a better choice because they don't offer as much distraction or a large surface area or keypad on which to get boogers and shit to track around the wards

also there often genuinely isn't the budget to update the tech, or it's left to people with no purchasing experience who can't compare the lifetime unit costs of an obsolescent technology to the lifetime unit costs of a relatively new and commonplace technology, usually through lack of data

there may also be resistance to change within the workforce, and unlike my first place, it's much harder to replace talented medics than talented salesmen, because people don't usually come into hospitals already getting better, whereas they'll walk into salesrooms and actively seek to buy shit

Ditto, country childhood was truly a gift. Moved to suburbia recently and it's a culture shock. Every fucking kid in their 20s is living at home with no idea how to take care of themselves nor have any intent to learn to do so. Most new acquaintances end up being late 30s-50+.

Feel even worse for the kids growing up today who will never experience "stick battles" with friends.

>Protip culture has ALWAYS been consumerist and shallow in the Now. All the way back to the days of monarchy.
Nigga how the fuck did peasants engage in consumerism when they had effectively no purchasing power? You think Riderch tending a fee out in the marshes was going to ride into town and risk getting kicked off to the badlands by his lord, or disemboweled by bandits, to buy some artisan drinking goblets so the other gruel-suckers would be impressed? Lower classes didn't participate in that sort of dick waving. That shit didn't start happening until well into the 17th century, after different systems started coming into place.

>>85494527
he's right though. You're confusing subject difference with tonal difference.

Everyone 'popular' on social media fills some sort of niche that encourages people to follow them, but all of them also fit into a larger category of Tone -- let's take some popular "normie" youtubers.

Casey Neistat (A Vlogger) - Upbeat, Good Vibes, Outspokenly divorced from politicization while keeping casually liberal

Phillip DeFranco (Daily News and 'challenge' vids) - Upbeat, Good Vibes, 'Keeps it real' while being unpolitical while still comfortably left wing.

John Green (Gen. Knowledge, Authorship, Politics) - Upbeat, Good Vibes, Writes YA novels and is outspokenly left wing (while keeping it 'neutral' and 'open-minded')

They change in subject matter, but the tonal constant -- the thing that's defining each change every couple of years is this; it's the 'feel' of the era.

It isn't just one tone, either. For prevailing mainstream there's the flip side; constant upbeatness and "you've gotta be positive" (with a lean towards the authoritarian side of the left-wing) is tempered by the contrarian viewset of the era: rampant cynicism and the subtle lean towards the right-wing that's masked by a flood of self-referential jokes and intentional irony, trying to poke fun at previous iterations like 'edginess' while making constant jokes about self-destruction (just as a meme, obviously). You have things like Filthy Frank and dank memes, or milo yiannopoulos and the alt-right, or 4chan.

It's cyclic.
