It doesn't matter what you think about the 2000s in your country. The point is you said the nostalgia doesn't resemble those times, and it's because the nostalgia is for 2000s in the West, not in Azerbaijan. That's why it doesn't resemble those times to you.

Everyone completely misunderstood my point

I didn't mean that 2000s wasn't good, my point was that 2000s wasn't THAT good. It's like boomers with 80s.

Frutiger Aero wasn't everywhere, there still was brainrot memes, there still were problems.

2000s definitely was better 90s (and I will die on that hill) and surely better than 2010s and 2020s but there were still problems

2000s wasn't peak of the civilization, we just are in the downfall

Will the 2020s be the 80s of the 2040s? How the fuck will it be remembered like that? Or will everyone universally agree 2000s was the last "great culture decade" and everything has been going downhill since, with the raging 20s specially sucking?

faggots the only reason you remember that time fondly is because you were a young boy who didnn't have any care in the world except playing videogames all day
Kids born today will remember the early 2030s as the peak before conveniently everything went downhill in the 2040s, about the time they got into college and/or got a job

Music, games, movies and TV series were better in the 2000s. Other than that I don't miss that decade at all. I don't romanticize being yelled at for using mobile internet for 5 minutes. And the 2010s are basically still going on since not much has changed

Agree with everything EXCEPT with TV series.

(Non-cartoon/anime) Shows were ass back then, except for Breaking Bad.
TV shows did not get good until the 2010's, and had only gotten better.

The feeling of the late 90s sort of dragged on until September 10th 2001. A day later the 2000s would instantly turn to shit. Instant 21st century hell. Then the 2010s became the the shitty version of the 2000s. And the 2020s are the shitty version of the 2010s. That's why you have the feeling that everything is soulless for the past 25 years. This will go on for a very long time, as the 2030s no doubt will just be the shitty version of the 2020s.
Finanon is right (>>219268157) the 90s were the last identifiable decade indeed.
The 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s all had their own style, their own identity, their own soul. After 2001 there's none of that. All just grey and black cars, McDonald's buildings that look like offices, and slabs of glass phones that everyone looks at 12 hours a day. That's what everything exactly will continue to look like for the next 50 years. Just uniform, minimalist, and globohomo. And you WILL eat the bugs too.

You’re brown, living in an olive-skinned country. From Bangladesh or some shit. Your parents went to Portugal to subvert it in the name of global Jewry, although they don’t consciously understand that yet. Woke hasn’t yet set in. You’re unattractive to the general school body, boring, weird, and dumb. People laugh and mock you. You wonder “why am I here, the 00s suck” truth is, you never belonged in Europe and never will.

The most prevalent dooming of the early 2010s was the piss filter (the brown and bloom aesthetic) and wagglan taking over. That gen was on its way out when greedy DLC and MTX were becoming mainstream.

Oblivion's $10 horse armor dlc came out in 2006 and caused a huge shitstorm. It was the one that gave everyone ideas to monetize the shit out of underwhelming game chunks. That was the beginning of the end. Dulled colors for the sake of realism was also in full force by 2007 with mainstream games like Gears and CoD. I distinctly remember that in 2008 there had already permeated a general sentiment of apathy towards the industry by then due to bad practices and samey unappealing aesthetics.

Probably, the second the US revved up the war machine in 2001 everything went to shit. And I mean on the dot, the last iconic films Hollywood released were on that year exactly (American Psycho for instance). Then when Russia chimped out in 2014 things became increasingly worse since. Even something as innocent as memes were wiped out by these comparison formats, chad vs. virgin et al., also I find it high irony that 4chan bitches about twitter/reddit colonizing them when they used to raid forums all the time and basically centralized internet culture in the early stages. The liberal dream had to end because apparently someone thought mudslimes and Russians were enough of a threat.

Nothing will ever compare to WoW in the 2000s. People lining up outside gamestop for midnight releases, LAN parties, having a whole living community of real people playing the game from all walks of life. Nobody knew what they were doing, no metagamers or dataminers. It was a very different time that can probably never be replicated.

Was already dead by the time 'inclusivity' started, it never helped sales in the slightest and let the greedy industries scapegoat DEI for their own failures.
