I remember when I first got online in the early 2000s Chelsea Charms had the "world's biggest boobs". She had implants, of course, and her chest was so beyond enormous it was staggering.

Now, there are women on the internet who are the same size she was back then, but naturally. It's crazy how the internet has allowed us to see these women who would have been only urban legends in the past.

I was slow to adapt. I was still listening to music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s in the 2000s. Mostly different sub-genres of rock like punk and psychedelic, but I had a lot of other shit in there too that I was listening to.
Now I'm still listening to 60s, 70s, and 80s music as well as 90s and 00s music. Maybe by 2040 I'll be listening to 2017 rap music. Or maybe I'll be dead by then.

>>37334641
Probably around 2007, 2008. I changed schools and got bullied alot so I got into vidya and then 4chan and youtube and never looked back. I'd say the later half of the 00 where the best time in my life

>>37333239
>early 2000s

I;m guessing that most people that post on 4chan theses days remember it as shitting in their diapers and learning to walk and going to kindergarten.

I was in my late teens by the early 2000s

I consider late 90s & early 2000s to be their own decade, culturally speaking. Nu-metal and pop-punk and all that. I miss it. 4chan didn't exist yet and I still had a life and hope for the future.

For robots of a certain age, who were teens and young adults during the Bush administration, pic related really does capture every feeling.

>>37335011
I hated it.

Green Day was never a political band, even that album isn't political, even that song is barely political at all. It's so family-friendly and safe that it was later used for like PG-13 comedy movie trailers.

They were just another band capitalizing on the anti-Bush and anti-war phenomenon from around 2004. NOFX were pretty bad with that as well.

At least System of A Down was always a political band.

>>37335011
I thought it was pretty cringy even back then.
>Oh bush is an moron? Who knew? thank you Green Day for opening my eyes.
Low hanging fruit.

System of A Down was better in every regard.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams is a pretty good song though.

Yeah I will say looking at it now it was way heavy handed and like all anti Bush stuff, it feels way too easy. But back then as a 15 year old who had begun following world news with the start of the Iraq War and Saddam, I think it was exactly the type of thing I was feeling. Frustration that our government seemed to lie, anger that so many people just went along with it, feeling alone because not even my parents could talk to me about it in any way that wasn't just
>9/11 was awful and these people must suffer for it because they have nukes!
Because they were too wrapped up in mainstream coverage to ask why it was happening.

>>37335217
They're mid-late 2000s though, at least that particular album.

I remember WHEN I WAS being a hot radio meme and a hot meme on 4chan around 2007

Their album before that was my favorite though.

I find it ironic that the cultural climate has changed so much that music that the majority considered to be for fags is nostalgic now and considered some of the last good popular music by a lot of people.

Remember when you were a kid and "Emo," was an insult? I was one of those kids too, who just like listened to like old metal and dadrock and thought anything new was trash. But now I can look back at like Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, and the like and be like, hey, this is actually breddy gud

thanks for getting this song stuck in my head

I liked most of it but it's probably just because I was a kid and got swept up in it all. I thought the military action going on was awesome, the financial crisis was basically a big fuck you to the middle class people I knew who's parents were nearly all retarded enough to constantly buy shit they couldn't really afford to look good and the music was pretty decent overall. I think the main thing was it felt like people were just way less divided, I don't remember any of my family or anyone around me bitching about politics, let alone other countries politics or elections, they were all focused on looking after each other without the self righteousness they seem to have now. It was about making it together instead of climbing over each other. Maybe I'm just jaded or blinded by nostalgia.

>Remember when you were a kid and "Emo," was an insult?

No, I don't.

probably because I'm 5 or even 10 years older.

early-2000s emo and mid-late 2000s emo are almost like two separate thing. Around 2002 or something if you were emo that's just what you were into, like a goth or a punk. Sometime around the time of myspace and emo turning into "scene" that was when it became a clownish thing aka "emo kids".

Early 2000s emo was yet to be tainted, it was just an extension of the pop-punk scene that was nearly as normie as everything else.


That's also what I liked the most about the early 2000s, you could be a punk or mallgoth or emo or nu-metalhead or whatever else and that was just as common as being a normie.

You can still find emo or punk or goth or metalhead or even dadrock girls, it's just that their population got dwindled down to like 1/10th of what it was back in the day.

There were definitely a lot, and I hate using this term unironically, of "posers" back in the day because it was a hot trend and easy to belong to a group. So these days any alternative girl you see out there is almost definitely genuine.

Question for those born in 1997(cusp of Millennials and Gen Z).

Do you associate your childhood more closely with Millennial things like Blockbuster, Jimmy neutron, Yu gi oh, PS1, PS2, N64, Drake and Josh, Pokemon when Misty, possibly May also, was still there, Gorillaz, Discman, Malcolm in the middle, Cyberchase, Tamagotchi, Osmosis Jones, original Ben 10(came out in 2005 so it barely slips in), Kim Possible, and having crushes on Britney spears, Jenny wakeman, Sailor moon, Misty, and Dark magician girl?

Or Gen Z things like streaming movies on Netflix, CN Real, Hannah Montana, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, Bakugan, The Dark knight, Pokemon with Dawn being there, Justin Bieber, WallE, Twilight, Chowder, Marvelous misadventures of Flapjack, Adventure Time, Silly bandz, and having crushes on Justin bieber, Harry styles, and "qt thick traps", not girls, because Vice told you it was "hip" and "cool" to be homosexual?

>>37335961
I miss the weeaboo culture back then. Kids with naruto headbands. Mix CD got ya fuckin' Inuyasha OPs on it. Nekoshit. "Glomping." The beginning of the proud tradition of the American Fujoshi. People saying *nose bleeds* when they thought something was hot. Going to see a ghibli movie with your friends and the theater in your flyover state is fucking empty because nobody wanted to see it. Death note. You and your crew on myspace got the L and Light icons. Shit.

Internet was more a hobby than a way of life

>>37336032
>>37336068

Not him but it was also annoying. I'm not American and all it did was ruin a few days of after-school TV programming.

We didn't have youtube or any of that shit back in 2001. Being in front of the TV at a certain time and knowing that a certain show would play on a certain channel was like a religious experience. If you missed it, then you missed it.

>>37335961
And before that, there was the post-hardcore DC scene, with bands like Fugazi, Rites of Spring and all that, the evolution of punk into hardcore, post-hardcore into emotional hardcore, which later morphed into emo. The music inspired by those old bands was really great. More recently, I think bands like La Disupte and Touche Amore have kept the tradition alive.

>>37336169
Why do you keep making threads about this

>>37336209
I don't like the whole shill paranoia that 4chan has. But I'm starting to think that he's literally doing marketing research on this website.

>>37336169
Definitely the former. I feel like the cartoons and movies you listed came out when I was past the point of really being interested in them, but I remember kids watching them. I remember thinking Bakugan was fucking autistic when it came out, same thing with silly bandz.

being gay was cool for years if not decades before Vice became a multi-million media empire.

>>37336459
But even as late as say, 2008, it was still something you'd get beaten up for, even though acceptance for it was rising.

Now you can't say "that's gay" or "fag" even in a pejorative way without everyone else shunning you.

>>37336272

Something I also wanted to bring up is how sad it is to see where a lot of bands from that era ended up. if they're sell-out or if they broke up or they're still trying to do the same thing from 15-20 years ago without evolving.

Luckily more than a few of them managed to age gracefully and are just as good as ever if not better, but more than a few aged like room-temperature milk.

Although that song does get bonus points for sampling Crass in the lyrics.

Yes i remember it clear as day.
2000-2003 nothing much happened excepet 9/11 when i was in middle school.

Then when i was 15 or 16 2004 happened which was the best year of my life.
First i discovered 4chan, and from that, memes, YTMND, and anime and such.

Also half life 2 came out that year which i was super hyped for, i loved the original half life as a kid.
Then up until 2007 i was just having the time of my life on the internet as a teenager.
Trolling AOL chatrooms with other nerdy buddies from school, having LAN parties to play CS and WoW.
Trolling habbo and jehovas hotline, trolling pawn shops for battletoads.

Shit man everything for a few years was great but then 2008 hit.
I was already pretty poor because my mother just partied all the time.
But then she lost her part time grocery job, and my dad couldnt help because he was still recovering from my crazy mom and health problems.

I can tell you this OP, the start of the 2000's were like extreme apathy, to excessive happiness, then extreme depression, things havent the same again, but the things i like doing since i was a teen havent been outlawed yet so here i am.
On a dying website in the dim light of my room reminiscent of easier times.

Downloading 30 second porn clips on kazaa, good times.
