is my Youtube 2000's otaku aesthetic enough yet? ^p^
Unless you can get the old UI back, it's not.
Why are children so obsessed with "old internet"?
>>50745779New internet is unfettered ass.
>>50745799It's the same.
>>50745779Shit sucks big time>>50745800nuh huh
>>50745800I don't remember being asked my past, present and future personal information to log into a site back then.Are you chinese?
>>50745832Muh OPSEC. Nobody cares.
>>50745855Ching chong nip nong to you. +1 sociar cledit
>>50745779>childrenI was born in early 1997
>>50745779who would want the modern internet thats full of nothing but politics bait and retarded e-celeb drama? next best option is to just use the japanese internet, or hell even spic internet.
>>50745882And old internet wasn't full of politics and e-celeb drama?
>>50745884there was e-celeb bs but easier to ignore. The politics I remember seeing were the Bush jokes and some usual towel head 9/11 bs. I wasn't hearing about every little political scandal unless I was on a news website.
>>50745884No, because it wasn't the only way to make traction on it.You wouldn't know, you weren't even a thought on September 12, 2001
>>50745893>>50745899Take the rose-tinted face shield off, faggots.
>>50745916I did for many years. I've decided I want them back on.Why choose to suffer when I don't have to?
>>50745916After you get old enough to vote.
>>50745922Sorry that saying otherwise doesn't make it come true. It's the same experience as ever, you sift through what is mostly garbage and sometimes come across something you can laugh at.
>>50745917Seriously, I feel the exact same. You take a break from nostalgia for a while, only to realize things are even worse than you thought they were. Letting the internet become so easy to engage with through social media and smart phones ruined it. People seem to not realize some of us have been around long enough to sample both sides of things and see just how bad it's become. If anon wants to wallow in his e-celeb reaction bait, vtuber slop, gacha riddled internet that's on him.
>>50745949dude really thinks your online environment has to match your real life environment otherwise it's bad. the absolute state of the modern internet kek
>>50745958>dude really thinks your online environment has to match your real life environment Where was this said?
>>50745855What's your phone number?
>>50746108Why are you not posting on this honeypot in an internet cafe behind 10 proxies?
>>50745949so long as youre keeping up your actual real life and nostalgia isnt keeping you from moving foward where you need to, i dont see the issue
>>50745728Not enough denpa
>>50745728Focus mroe on older stuff, hell Madoka isn't even from the 2000s. If you really want to cultivate it, spam watch Lucky Star, old Azumanga (NOT zoomer era Azumanga revival if you can manage), the earliest vocaloid/Miku and Hoenn/Sinnoh Pokemon. That reddevils500 channel has a lot of really old NND uploads
>50746218C'mon you said opsec is fake and gay didn't you?post your phone number?
>>50746602fag
>>50745779Because the nu-internet is all they know and its dogshit
I miss when my wife was considered new and the second best thing after MikuIA love
>50746602dont do it he's gonna send his dick
>>50745728Nothing left to do now but kill yourself.>>50745882>who would want the modern internet thats full of nothing but politics bait and retarded e-celeb drama?>>50745899>No, because it wasn't the only way to make traction on it.>birth certificate>ebaum's world>Bush>Brawl Taunts>atheismmfw
>>50746809difference was you'd have to go out of your way to look for that back then. now the algo shoves it in your face
>>50746747IA and GUMI were so popular for a long time and then they were not. To be fair, even Miku dipped in popularity in the mid-late 10s.
>>50746809Politics were already a thing, like even big sites like gamefags would have people complaining about Bush but it was nowhere near the level of what we have now and you could largely ignore it because not enough people cared enough to make it their entire personalities. Atheism vs Creationism and Chanology were the first really bad signs because unlike the rest of what you cited, those were actually harder to avoid.
>>50749287>and you could largely ignore itI ignored it then and I ignore it now. What is your point?
>>50749311It was much easier to avoid it back then. You have to go out of your way to avoid this dogshit now, especially since the internet is more consolidated and there are fewer places online to actually go to.
>>50749321I avoid it easily.
>>50749272Unfair, they should be eternal
>>50749346and how do you do this oh wise one
tips?
>>50745728I'm ditching all the big tech social media and going retro with everything, small webrings, irc, usenet, etc.
>>50757916http://hiroshinagai.com
>>50745728Most of these are from 2010's, not even 2000's.Really funny how 2000's is just late-00' and first half of 2010's for younger zoomers.>>50757916It's only phone-user-only who talks like that. If your main device was a computer for Internet, the "small web" or "indie web", whatever, never left.
Any good old sites? Looking for 2000s blogs
>>50745779I think it's better for children to obsess over that than discord brainrot and youtube/tiktok AI slop, I really feel bad for the newer generations who will never experience the internet before AI
>>50745728>enoughEnough what? What does that mean? You're forcing yourself and not actually enjoying the "aesthetic"? Are you trying to fit in? Why?
>>50745779as opposed to what we have now? gee, I wonder.
It's just your life that got worse.
It's nice to see the zoomies getting into shit I grew up with; back when I was a retard middle schooler on the Interwebz. I feel old. I don't miss dial-up connection though, absolutely fuck that.
>>50764550I can smell the copium
>>50749272i feel like miku is more popular than she's ever been. granted it's mainly with normies. pretty much every other vocaloid is dead
>>50773219Vocaloid as a whole is more popular than ever by a lot. I wouldn't call other vocaloids dead, but many popular ones have been "replaced" by newer ones.
