Was 2006 the last year to feel "normal", before social

early 2007 was pretty normal too
it wasn't until 2008 is when everything fell apart

technically if you are not so young it was 2001

>before social media
Social media was around in 2006. Myspace was all the rage.

In 2006 MetroFlog was huge here
I hated it
I remember 2001 to 2003 to be the last "normal" years

>>77368270
True but Myspace was less cancerous and more customizable than Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,e tc.

>>77368335
Instagram was the fucking one who took the depravity of man kind to another level

>>77368122
2006 was stale and boring like most of the 00s.

Things are much more interesting now with mobile Internet that enabled new connections between people, easier access to knowledge and culture, promising political trends, and hilarious memes.

Source: already was a young adult in 2006 and it sucked compared to now, it had all the defects of the 90s with none of the charm

I'm using friendster and customizing it is my passion.

I remember when the social networks were just a pastime like hi5 and myspace.
You'd never had the fucking ''obligation'' to check the activity of other users since they also weren't 100% of the time there.

The age of sms and MSN was pretty awesome.

Even fanfic sites had more of a socializing effect than hi5 and myspace, I remember being married to a girl in a lusophone fanfic site

Being normal has always been the same: having tons of friends, going to social meetings, getting laid, having a gf and not giving off a creepy aura.

Now it's all the same plus updating shit on facebook, using twitter, snapchat and posting on instragram whatever you do with your normie friends.

Social rejects have also always been the same, it won't change.

This.
2007 was much more interesting desu.

No, late 2008 and 2009 was startpoint of shitstorm. Everything start collapse that year
so fuck 2009, piece of shit year

2007 was a good year.
Though if I had to pick I'd pck 2003.

>promising political trends, and hilarious memes
Kill yourself

Russia was good only when there was free speech (1993-2002).

Does anyone have this webm that's a montage of a bunch of things from 2000-2006 (i.e. Numa numa guy, Winxp, Toonami), with early 2000s techno music playing in the background? I can't find it

Our big social media site started to grow quick in 2005. Everybody I had on MSN I had on Hyves. Those were the days. Facebook sucks compared to it.

>tfw after 9 years still haven't figured out who was my secret lover

There were no "normal years".

The world is constantly changing, and particularly fast in our era.

If you were born in the 70's, I guarantee you'd say something like this about 96 or whatever.

>>77372133
I had Almere4You as a secondary social media site already. Enough sluts there.

>>77370519
Honestly hated the 2000's, shitty meme decade

>>77372207
2000-2006 was gr8 though
