Do you miss the early 2010s(2009-2012), /tv/? Back when the atmosphere

stop

If you are feeling nostalgic about anything after 9/11, you are too young to post here.

>>85311554
I am going to seriously have to go ahead with killing myself if we look back at those times as if they were anything but miserable and hopeless.

We thought it couldn't get any worse and it did. That's all that happened. If we survive the decade, I'm sure there'll be posts just like this looking back on today.

>>85311642
I remember that time being hopeful and optimistic after the dregs of 2007-2009. The economy was recovering, Obama's election and the ousting of Republicans excited people (the hype fizzled out by his second term), and pop music had a dreamy vibe that reflected what was going on. Similar to the late 90s.

>>85311554
Obama being elected ruined american politics even more than bush did
Not to mention that if your nostalgic for 2009-2010 you are in fact actually nostalgic for dubya.

>>85311710
Decade culture doesn't always line up with calendar dates. Personally i thought 2008/2009 was really the beginning of "2010s" culture. Emo/scene died and was replaced with hipsters, Obama became president, Twitter and Facebook overtook Myspace, Reddit and Tumblr became well known, rock music fell off the charts, and electropop-type music like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry became popular.

>>85311642
This.

Pre-9/11, all memes and boogeymen and shilling aside, was the "buoyant feeling more optimistic" time.
The Patriot Act and all the shit West did, lead by the USA, subsequent to 9/11 has only gotten worse and more dystopian. It only feels better because shit keeps getting worse.

You're just older and more jaded. The world isn't any worse today than it was a decade ago.

The later years of a decade carry the most influence out of all years. 1996-1999 were much more "90s" than the years before it.

We are just now starting to develop a solid 2010s culture.

Oh yes it is

The 90's was the last "optimistic" time in the US. The election of Obama was false hopes and empty promises anyways.

>>85311988
it definitely is

>>85312206
Explain why today is so much worse than 2005-2010.

>>85312062
Wroooonnng. 1991-1996 was the "real 90s". 1997-1999 was paving the way more for the 2000s with reality TV, 3d gaming, boybands, The Simpsons going to shit in quality, Cartoon Cartoons, Attitude Era, etc.

>>85312245
Almost all of the culture from 1990 - 1995 was borrowed from the 80s. That's how it's always been with decades.

>>85312276
1990-1991 was sort of like the 80s but after that there was almost nothing from the 80s left

You fucking children are so propagandized you can't even describe the past with any accuracy. You're the children of Goebbels now. You're entire lives are so fucked, you're wish you would end up being nazis. They had a better life arc than you disposables.

This is probably going to sound like blogpost but it's semi-related to the topic. The 2009/2010s weren't more "optimistic" you were just younger and didn't care as much about everything. I'm a 19 year old collegecuck who feels nostalgia for my childhood, not the era I was born in. Once you become an adult, you realize you have yo keep track of a lot shit at the same time. Not only do i have to keep up with my studies but i also have to keep track of memes, politics, news and whole bunch shit. Compound that that for every movie/videogame/anime/book I finish, 2 or more are added to my already colossal backlog and not to mention that i have to do research into a lot of things like subcultures and I have a nasty tendency to "hobby-hop" that is, I read up on a hobby, take it up and after a while I find something else and move on. What do?

>>85311554

Um...everything after 2008 was simply worse than everything after 2001, which was already shit.

Fucking retard.

>>85312369
Not him, but I specifically miss internet culture being more niche and less mainstream in the early to mid 2000s. I miss communities like Newgrounds in its hay day

Didn't we agree that everything went to shit in 2007 with the explosion of smartphones and social media? You're an ignorant teen who grew up in shit times and doesn't realize they were shit.

>>85312073

He's right.

Basically;

>1992 - Violent crime reaches it's peak and begins to decline

>1995 - Economy recovers from 1987 recession

>1996 - Economy rises to rates not seen since 1973

>Mid 2001 - Economy begins to receede, setting in motion minor recession

>Late 2001 - WTC attacks, setting off global instability

>2001-2008 - Poor economy and global conflict

>2008 - Global Financial Collapse

>2008 - Present - No End In Sight

If you're feeling nostalgic for the late 2000's, I unironically feel bad for you because that's a depressingly low bar to set.

Literally fucking what you stupid child?

>>85312700

No it wasn't.

It recovered in part from the 2001 decline, but it was still severely weakened comparable to '96-2001.

The U.S. was officially in a recession until 2003, making a recovery by 2005, before entering another dowturn in 2006 and finally another recession starting in 2007.

That's what I mean about feeling bad for kids feeling nostalgic about a period that was actually pretty shitty, but simply LESS shitty than what they got later.

>>85312991

Ruby Ridge or Waco both occurred in the Early 1990's.

As I stated above that was a period that saw a peak in violent crime and a continuing recession.

It wasn't until 1995 that things improved. You also had Oklahoma that year.

>>85311554
oh you mean when the economy was STILL horrible years later? Yeah optimism everywhere, you probably only became a real adult recently

It's called perspective, congratulations, you have it now, and it's never going away

wrong
the best year was objectively 1996

>>85313402

You can pick any year between 1996 and 2001 and it will be an empirically good year for the average westerner.

I don't particularly have fond memories of it, but it was a period of economic prosperity and peace.

>>85313702
2000 still had the dot com bubble burst

>>85312970
I guess you don't remember the Bush years at all.

Late 2014 was when the world quit having comic relief or fun for fun's sake. Ever since then it feels like everyone is either a fucking 17d chess wizard, a piece in somebody else's game of 17d chess, or sad bumbling NPC set dressing.

>>85311554
yes because they were less people using the internet

The years in which you were kid will always be your best years

You weren't obsessed with politics, race, losing your virginity

Go watch some music videos from the late 90s/way early 00s. If you don't feel anything, congratulations, either you're content in life (normalfag) or too young to be posting here.

>>85311554

This period was not as optimistic as you remember it being. It was the depths of the recession.

>>85313725
This is a thread of nostalgiafags yearning for when they were young, so unless we have some very oldfags on here 2000 would've been a very good year despite the dot com bubble burst, which didn't affect too many Westerners very directly

>>85314366
This is pretty true.

>>85314390
Late-90s music videos were great. Used watch MTV a ton back when they played music and there was, more often than not, something good on. Ton of variety in what they played and what was popular.

>>85314488
It's not even about them being good or bad. There's just a different quality to them.

This.
This kind of nostalgia is about purity and a time where things were simpler and less memeing
No SJWs, no libruls no Drumpf no forced memes shitting on every classic franchise or iconic role, no retarded discussions about making politics in every fucking thing, no feminism, games and movies could still have boobs and it wasn't a crime, there was no ISIS and muhricans obsessed with terrorism, no mass immigrations, no music industry that went down the shithole

2014 is like the 2007 of the 2010s, the moment where it felt like a switch was flipped. Around 2014 is when things like "genderfluid" and "mansplaining" started becoming mainstream, whereas in 2013 and before they were practically unheard of.

>>85315255
>there were no tumblr feminists before tumblr came around
read more about the 90s m8 plenty of video games were accused of sexism hell the whole "women in refrigerators" thing started in the 90s and both the music and film industry were accused of making recycled crap and calling it new/overall lacking inspiration remember that scene in There's Something About Mary (1998) how Matt Dillons character says that all movies these days are pretty much crap
stop acting like we were in the 1950's until 9/11 happened

Trans anon here, and I agree. It's all just embarrassing.

No but mine was
But it's not just them, I hate SJWs just as much as I hate the other side. Back in the day I grew up to be tolerant and open minded in a respectful way. To each, their own was my motto on the subject. I just accepted folk who were different without a second thought on hate wars. Now you're either a cuck degenerate or a racist bigot homophobe. It's all about dem fucking retarded politics, both sides infecting everything with their cancerous shit.
Back then I didn't matter, I believed in a happy world where we could enjoy things and have a laugh without shit hitting the fan at any second.
And back to your original post, those videos remind me of that purity and innocence of the time. That purity that was lost and replaced by cancerous political correctness or political extremism.
>>85316320
Sure, but it felt different. Maybe I was more unaware, maybe everyone was more ignorant, maybe it just didn't get enough publicity or the movements weren't as large and annoying, but you didn't get that sense of smelling the shit around every corner.

I know late 2014 is a red flag because of gobbergate, but at the same time I feel like it's when I became consciously aware of the idea that time doesn't progress as this inevitable upwards slope but as something in which good and bad outcomes can happen and its the individual's responsibility to create the best possible future because it's not guaranteed and the powers that be aren't enough to keep wrong at bay. Maybe this was just me maturing because I'm still a dumb kid, but I feel like late 2014 was the time that this unspoken sense of cosmic risk really became a thing.

I understand where youre coming from OP, but this is the bubble of inflated optimism for the future exploding in our faces. We really believed things were gonna get so much better but they didnt, because the world doesnt work like that and now we're disillusioned. And we're angry. The SJWs are a radical manifestation of this anger. Or moreso, the whiny temper-tantrum throwing faction of our generation that cant accept we have to actually fight for the things we want. Its a morbid feeling.

Its the choices we make that determine our successes and thus our quality of life. No matter how shitty things are for the rest of the country, I as an individual can make things not shitty for myself through hard work and discipline. These are the values our generation needs to learn because we arent entitled to shit, certainly not a better world.

I would, but I'm deranged as all hell and perfectly aware of it, so this new world we're making suits me quite well. I honestly 100% no joke cannot wait for the implosion of the west, as it's only through warfare that any true progress is made. Ironically the "progressives" have been holding us back for a very long time. A great filter of genocide will destroy the chaff of humankind and leave us much better off in the end. If that means that people like me or even I myself die in the process, so be it.

Doesn't matter Mr. Memer, you'll come to see that I'm right about this. Remember that when Jamal splatters your brains all over the wall of your 400sqft apartment, or when you're sent off to Dr. Shenkelberg's re-education camp. Human souls are a resource, to be spent as needed or molded into whatever form their master requires. That's the final redpill and the ideology of the world elite.
