Question for 20 year olds of /v/: do you associate your childhood

>>376301856
I knew /v/ has always been consoletardish, but damn, that list..
I am 25 and associate my super early childhood with Ultima VI and Pool of Radiance on Commodore 64, early school years with Might&Magic, Wizardry, and XCom, and high school with Jagged Alliance 2, Gothic 2, Morrowind, Baldur's Gate, and Thief.

The mere idea that a gap of 5 (five) years would result in this ..
>Cartoon Cartoons, Yu gi oh, Drake and Josh, Gorillaz, Discman, Malcolm in the middle, Cyberchase, Tamagotchi, Osmosis Jones, original Ben 10, and Kim Possible
>Wii, PS3, CN Real, Hannah Montana, Bakugan, The Dark knight, Justin Bieber, WallE, Twilight, Chowder, Marvelous misadventures of Flapjack, Adventure Time, and Silly bandz
.. is truly frightening.

>>376301856
21.
I actually associate with N64/PS1 era, and considered most of those shows you listed, outside of cartoon cartoons, to be too childish for me and I consider Ben 10 and Kim Possible to be part of the same generation as Hannah Montana and Flapjack.

>>376302505
this.
but with a little snes thrown in there too because of my upbringing

>>376301856
With the exception of the Wii, literally nothing in the second paragraph, and about 85% of stuff in the first paragraph.

As an actual 20 yr old capable of reading.

>>376301856

24 next month here.
First console I had was Super Nintendo then Gameboy Color.

Then I got PS1, followed by N64.
I was so young though when I was playing some of these games. I played FF9 and Warcraft 3 in elementary school not knowing wtf I was even doing.

I would probably say PS1/N64 era for childhood.

>>376302195
Thanks but I asked for 20 year olds, not 25 and 24 year olds

>>376301856
Definitely the 2000-2006. By 2007 I was 14 and starting to get into PC gaming. My memories are pretty fresh from that time and I don't feel any nostalgia for any of those shows or any Wii or PS3 game. In fact I still play PS3 to this day so it's not much of a childhood thing.

> 14
> child

>>376302505
I consider Ben 10 a different generation from Hannah Montana, albeit barely.

Ben 10(original) came out in 2005, and was at the height of its popularity in summer 2006, so I think it just barely can be lumped into the old. Summer 2006 was right before the social media/Pluto is not a planet/liberal circlejerk era exploded around fall-winter 2006/2007.

>>376301856
>Gorillaz
>Malcolm in the middle

Unless older siblings corrupted you, but how would a 3 - 6 year old born in 1997 be into these things in the early 2000s?

20 here/1996. I closely associate my childhood more so with the N64 right through the GBA/Gamecube/XBOX/PS2 and the first few years of the Wii's lifespan. Genndy Tartakovsky and Craig McCracken, late 90's-early 2000's cartoons.

Feeling kind of sad now, back then things just felt more colourful, more interesting/fulfilling.

The second paragraph I figured is more in line with my sister's age group (I am 6 years older than her.) Though I liked Hannah Montana/did see it a fair bit.

I'm 24 but my family was pretty poor back in the 90s and I only had a Mega Drive until about 2000 when we got an N64 and then a PS2 the following year

I had like 2 shovelware games for my PS2 so I used to go back to the Mega Drive and play Sonic on a daily basis, so I guess my nostalgia lies with that
But I did used to go round my friend's house after school to play Vice City when it came out, which I have a lot of fond memories of

>>376303029
I can see a 5-6 year old being into those things

Plus, they still had the chance to be into them at ages 7-10. Malcolm in the Middle lasted till 2006 and Gorillaz released their last single before taking a long hiatus in 2006.

>>376303029
I was born in 1993 and I remember this video clip vivedly

>>376303184
Thanks for your opinions but I asked for 20 year olds specifically

>>376301856

2000-2006 moreso, but in terms of vidya it's always been PC, so things like C&C, Starcraft, WC3, CS1.6, Half-Life, etc.

>>376301856
22 year old here.

I definitely associate more strongly with late 90s and early 00s stuff for my childhood than I do with late 00s - especially for television and films.

>>376303301
forgot to include, I am 20 still.

>>376302195
>a bunch of generic fantasy CRPGs on early PC variants

You're British, we get it.

>>376303262
19-2000 was released in 2001, I was 8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyHNuVaZJ-k

This was released in 2005, you were 8

So yea, you could still get into gorillaz without any corruption.

Also Dare, La Mañana, Dirty Harry

I'm 19 and I associate my childhood with things like The Batman (2000's cartoon) Spider-Man TAS, Action Man, Power Rangers, Yu-Gi-oh, Halo 3/360 in general and early 2000's pop

> 19 year old here
played almost no games until 2010
watched german cartoons in 2000s (they continue so effin long)

I consider Ben 10 a different generation from Hannah Montana, albeit barely. Here is my autistic explanation.

Ben 10(original) came out in 2005, and was at the height of its popularity in summer 2006, so I think it just barely can be lumped into the last vestiges of the "old generation" of kids' media. Summer 2006 was right before the social media/Pluto is no longer a planet/liberal circlejerk era exploded around fall-winter 2006/2007.

>>376301856
19fag here, remember the first stuff from early childhood and the latter from later childhood

I'm 21 and I grew up with an SNES and an n64. Around 2002 I got a ps1 and began my spiral down the dark path of waifubait jrpgs.

I'm 21. Early childhood was PS1 and GBC. Got a PS2 and GBA after they came out when I was about 5 or 6 but I have more childhood memories of the former.

>tfw you're nearly 30 and threads like these make you realize you're probably no more in a better place than someone 10 years younger than you

at least i got my t-tendies

>>376301856
25

Definitely the first, but that's a 5 year difference. Courage the Cowardly Dog, Bucky O'Hare, Scooby, Stargate etc.

>>376301856
>PS2, Gamecube, Cartoon Cartoons, Yu gi oh, Drake and Josh, Gorillaz, Discman, Malcolm in the middle, Cyberchase, Tamagotchi, Osmosis Jones, original Ben 10, and Kim Possible?

Im 25 and this was my childhood.

2000-2006, easily. It was a better time, not only cause I was young, but because everything was fucking better.

Does anyone else completely stopped watching TV? Everything i want i can easily get online or on Netflix, so i don't even bither with TV or cable anymore.

>>376306739
i haven't had cable in over six years, and haven't watched any sort of TV programming for about as long. nowadays i do use an antenna and watch things on occasion though.

OTA in my area actually has some cool shit, like NHK International and Comet.

>>376301856
29 and i guess i wouls associate with the first group more.
Simpsons and Red Alert 2 were my childhood.

I associate my childhood with the former. Though I do consider 05-08 a high point.

Fidget Spinners are totally the Silly Bandz of the 2010s, fad wise.

>>376301856
2000-2006 shit easily.

Gamecube was arguably the best console of my childhood.

Fuck the Wii and anything that came after it.

Also why isn't Samurai Jack on that list?

>>376307207
Silly Bandz are the Silly Bandz of the 2010s I think. They were popular around 2009-2010. And call me autistic but I think 2009 was really a 2010s year, not 2000s. Music like Katy Perry and Justin Bieber was big, Obama was president, Facebook and Twitter became big and overtook MySpace, etc. Sounds a lot more like the 2010s than the 2000s.

>>376307367
Are you 20?

22 here, I definitely associate with the first list more closely.

As a kid I remember watching and loving Cartoon Network in the early 2000s. When they had the old checkerboard logo.

And then came the 2004 rebrand where they changed the logo and had the CGI City bumpers. The rebrand wasn't necessarily horrible, but after it, it felt like each year CN was getting less and less entertaining. Shows I loved like Megas XLR, Samurai Jack, and Duck Dodgers were being replaced with mediocre boring ones like Squirrel Boy, My Gym Partner is a Monkey, and Camp Lazlo.

Finally in 2007 they completed their tilt into the abyss with TOM 4-era Toonami, Fried Dynamite, and Out of Jimmy's Head.

any le ebic 90z kids remember what those shoes were called that changed colors in the sun? i'm not talking about that those dumb shoes with the liquid gel in them, or the lights in them, but shoes that IIRC would shows different prints and shit in the sun.

the commercial had a jingle that literally went "they change colors in the sun." its been driving me fucking crazy.

>>376301856

I actually associate with ps1 era, also im from a third wolrd country so, its kinda normal

22, my childhood was definitely with the PS2 and Gamecube (and whatever shit you could run on Mac OS X), GTA San Andreas was probably the game of my childhood so 2004 is the peak of that.

Once I got my Xbox 360, of course the first game being GTA IV, that was the next era of my life from my point of view; full of secondary school dread and depression, watching YTP til 2am and starting to feel a lot more worthless. I'd say that cuts it off from being a childhood i'd remember for being carefree and full of pure enjoyment with great entertainment with me too.

Also since PSone was my first console, i'd have to lay it out as:

2000-2004: Childhood
2005-2007: Fading out of good memories
2008-2012: Teenage depression

>>376306701
Are you 20, or older, or younger

>>376308591
21.

Is it true that summer 2006 was the last vestige of the "old world"?

And that fall-winter 2006 is when we entered the modern world with social media exploding in popularity, Pluto stopped being a planet, Saturday morning cartoons completely died, WB changed to the CW, Democrats took over Congress, housing bubble, etc.

I'm 21 associate my childhood with cartoon network, toonami and adult swim shows like InuYasha, Case Closed, Naruto, Billy and Mandy, and Powerpuff Girls. As for games, mostly PS1/2 games like Final Fantasy, Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet and Jak.

>>376301856
1995 here , moderately poorfag, didnt get a 360 till i was 14 so i would definately identify with that ps2 era, that being said OG ben 10 i was starting to grow out of by the time that came around.
gorillaz is top tier tho

>>376301856
i was born in 1996, and i grew up with nintendo 64, and thoroughly played my playstation 2 but i associate my childhood with xbox 360 just because it was my first experience with online and i really enjoyed that. however i am not really nostalgic for anything since much of what i used to play i still do play, and anything that doesn't hold up well for me today i wont bother going back to again. i didn't watch cartoons, only channel i had available was non-cable free access shite like jerry springer show which sucked so i didn't watch it, but well before that i watched spongebob and thats all i recall. for xbox 360 i have the most good memories in sneak king, minecwaft, civilizations revolution, and halo 3. i also have good memories of champions of norrath, ty the tazmanian tiger, and war of the monsters on the playstation 2. i did also have a gameboy advance which i remember playing super mario world, donkey kong country (specifically 3?), and pokemon emerald which stick out as memorable. on nintendo 64 i have great memories of starfox 64 and that is about it though only because i no longer play it whereas i still play f-zero x or mario 64 (because i never bother to fully beat either, though i actually tried with f-zero x it is just fucking hard). super nintendo is something we had and i played a lot of but i don't have many memories relating to it as a kid and i still play every game i used to play when i want to with exception of mario paint which i have no fucking clue what the fuck i used to do in. inbetween all of this i ended up also playing super smash bros, mario sunshine, nba jam/sonic for genesis, and more with my friends which was fun. as far as music, i didn't listen to music until i was a teenager when i met an autistic fuck who showed me deathcore and later blackmetal but as of recently all i listen to is videogame music

>>376310214
Would you agree with the feeling that fall-winter 2006 was when we entered the "modern day"?
