Why was the suicide rate for young people so low in the 2000s?
No social media
>>542799459everyone was watching girls kiss at parties
>>542799459>suicides nosedive with Kurt Cobain
>>542799459Easiest time in human history to get laid
>>542799459Niggers weren't on the internet yet.
>>542799459Look at the year where your chart starts it's moon mission.
>>542799459Obama wasn't president yet.
>>542799459Why did they do to Naruto?
>>542799602It's hard to wanna suicide when Halo just released
>>542799647brother, I think you just solved the riddle here... The battle between Bungie and Microsoft began after Halo 3 in like 2007 iirc (prob don't) and halo reach released in 2010 and it was an uphill battle from there...
>>542799512Literally this
>>542799530also, mine would have been Swan Dive by (hed) p.e.
>>542799459Man i was just playing animal crossing on my ds and watching bleach
>>542799459Halo 2
>>542799459
>>542799543It was so awesome. I have a lifetime of jerkoff material memories of fucking prime teen and twenties alt girl pussy from that time. It was amazing.
>>542799459>>542799647>>542799786>>542799864>>542799890come the fuck on
>>542799459Because life was just better than, simple as.
>>542799512if only you knew how based things were
>>542799459we had a lot of distractions
>>542799459no social media to compare yourself against those fake "friends" who only farm for likesgangs of 4-5 dumbass mall rat teens just hanging out and socializeyou only kys when you are alone, low on self-esteem and no friend support
>>542799503No social media existed, but it was in its infancy. MySpace was launched '03, and both YouTube and Facebook were launched in '04.Big thing was smartphones didn't come out until '07, and it was another 4-5 years before they became common. In the 2000s if you wanted to go on social media, you needed to log on on your home computer. Most normies were online maybe just 1 or 2 hours a day, tops. And that time was spent looking at email and on either MySpace or Facebook.
Let me explain how awesome it was growing up as a kid through the 2000s for all you little underage b&>suburbs rapidly expanded near major cities>housing was really cheap>almost everyone that moved to where I lived in the new suburbs all had the goal of starting a family>growing up there were TONS of kids to play with like Ed Edd and Eddy>the internet was still chained to a wall so basically everyone played outside>the parks were full of hidden trails with kids playing fort and war and stuff>Halloween for one was the greatest shit imaginable with so many families, candy came in with several giant bags, several runs, couldn't even carry it all
>>542799459Good vidya and slop in those times
>>542799512jej. I remember this.Every single girl claimed to be bi for attention.
>>542799459>golden age of vidya>easy to get and keep a job>prices low, wages high>internet gave social recluses a window to the world but there wasn't the toxicity of social media>world wasn't shitYou zoom zooms need to understand that in the late 90s and early 00s eminem cursing and bill clinton getting head were considered legitimate controversies. Things were that good.
>>542799459No Fentanyl.
>>542800265>Let me explain how awesome it was growing up as a kid through the 2000s>vidrel Windows 98>claims in the 2000s we were outside and not playing halo>namefagging
>>542799459halo was cool, social media was considered stupid, online dating was for losers, there was good shit on tv, and there was a dollar menu.
>>542799459We used to go out, socialize among peers, peers of peers, and peers of peers of peers, which was a rich gamut of experiences that lead to growth, stimulation, fun, and having sex.
>>542800432>Bill Clinton gets a blowjob>immediate impeachment, out of officeI don't really care that Zion Don was convicted on accounting fraud over paying off STORMY DANIELS but holy shit was America just full of prudes back then? Or is having a whoremonger in office worth it now just to "own the democrats"??And Trump was in the Epstein Files but he never solicited underage women to my knowledge, though there was one report. The White House wanted to release a searchable database for the Epstein Files (like they did with the UFOs) but Trump actually came up on something unrelated to trafficking (it's just a big pile of blackmail) where he was playing with some other whore's tits. Trump allegedly really like nipple play.>>542800742I hated Halo. Halo 1 was playable for a console game but my early teenage years were all Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2 (rip TF2).Also I've used Windows 98. That computer might still be around intact, I could make an offer, keep a period piece for retro DOS titles.
>>542799459No trannies

>>542799459vidya golden erapeak windows xp aestheticallowed to say nigger in public spaces
I miss when malls weren't mini nigger colonies.
>>542801020>I've used Windows 98Our first family computer had Windows 95 on it. 133Mhz Pentium processor, two whole gigabyte hard drive, 16 megabyte ram. It had Sim City 2000 and Sim Tower preinstalled, what more do you even need? Once I borrowed Warcraft 2 from a friend I was basically glued to it for some time.
>>542799503nigga we were all on Myspace(GOATED) then Facebook. Granted, it was just a substitute for having your irl friend's phone numbers honestly. Nothing more. The real reason is because people weren't chronically online. Even viidya addicts usually had friends. Or at least vidya was good and the online community was good so even if that's all you did, it was still fun. Everything is just mediocre at best now. People genuinely get excited for b-tier shit, that's how bad everything got. and while suicide rates may have been way lower, lots of people died before 30 due to alcohol and other dumb shit, or ended up fucked up.
>>542799512Zoomers will never understand how fucking hot that was.I remember being drunk at some college party and basically catcalling random girls when they came in. Two girls came in and I asked them which one was the better kisser. The first one started making out with me and then she pulled away and the other one did. Then I was like "now you should kiss each other" and the two girls started making out with each other. They finished and walked inside and I realized some random guy was standing there and saw the whole thing and was staring at me wondering how the fuck I did it.
>>542799459peak times to be alive, scientifically proven.
>>542802133I wish the iPhone came out around 2010ish. I wanted that high speed internet but pre smartphone era of technology. 4chan worked on the PSP mini-browser, if I could freeze tech there that would be ideal. I was also 12.
before social media and dating apps even if you were mid you could pull bitches rather easilyzoomies really got fucked over
>>542803087mid 2000's we had 100mbps download/upload around here, from local networks. we had a weird setup where we'd connect a lot of commie apartment blocks via cables, so you'd have access to a whole neighborhood network at full speed. idiots were sharing their whole C drive in network lmao. crazy times

>>542803160God I miss that movie. Imagine being a teenager in some wood panel basement smoking some shitty weeds out of a poorly rolled joint and watching this next to some girls in low rider pants and a tank top. You'd end up fucking no matter how you looked.
Employment opportunities, that have been taken away by mass shitjeet immigration+their fucking nepotism stealing all opportunity for young people entering the world "America,can,UK,France,ital,others"+ inflation further aggravating the effects of point one. +Other reasons but main is main. No opportunity. Mandated others be given/have it over and above "Americans". Burn it all to the ground like they themselves are doing to global oil/energy "they are hahaha on purpose HAHAHA" . YES! HAHA. The people doing this all fk kids anyways. No loss. Can't lose what you don't and won't have. EVER! They are showing you what matters to them. And it isn't you. Hahaha. Well it is.... Making you gone matters. So there's that. Hahaha
Remember who did it... they themselves say it..,
Only what matters to them matters. Only that.
Funny

>>542802799I truly am living the best fucking life, anons.I can’t imagine growing up in a time without partying, drugs, running from the cops, 3 ways in random peoples houses with girls I just met, and underground raves in the desert every weekend with hundreds of people when you’re bored and there’s nothing else going on. None of you will ever know that 2000’s to early 2010’s was absolute kino and I’ll die smiling, my only prayer that I get to live through it again.
Because we still had things to look forward too. The world didn't seem like it was going to collapse at any moment in time. Our women still hung around us and cared about us. Even threw us pitty fucks every now and then. The world wasn't as fucked up.

>>542800066how come only niggers get this in the current year?
>>542799459It was probably the best era for vidya there's ever been. It felt like an instant classic would come out every 6 months.Music and film were on the decline, but not dogshit like today. No AI and social media. The internet still felt new and exciting to most people. And almost everything on it was created by individuals or small groups of enthusiasts, not corporations and activists.

>>542800432The internet was still sincere and people made content for free so it was passion projects. Bots and the CIA hadn't broken online commuties with constant rage bait.

>>542802419I missed back in the day when even a random store bought desktop could play most games. That would be up until like Windows XP, but definitely 95 and 98. Not to mention it was the golden era of edutainment. that's why millennials are so smart. people think it's just cause we wiki and google shit but we started off with so many different edutainment software/games.

>>542806615>>542806681Did none of you use kaaza?
>>542806843Kazaa was pre-Limewire. Most people that know it are younger gen-x or older millennials.
>>542806843Kaaza was the fallback after napster got metallicad.
>>542806843Moved from kazaa to direct connect mostly until torrenting came along and made everything piss easy with zero community.
>>542806843I gave up on life when they took my weird al downloads off Napster from me. I knew it was over at that point.>>542806907You either used Kaaza or Napster. Never both.
>>542799459Life in America wasn't as depressing. You could still find jobs easily before 10 million jeets flooded every category. Girls were more down to earth and not signing up for OnlyFans straight out of high school and becoming entitled money seeking whores. Zoomers really have things so much worse than us millennials did.
it's funny how 90% of people learned about viruses(the hard way) via kazaa/limewire. pretty much everyone had viruses on their pc regularly until they figured out how to avoid/fix these things. I can remember all of my friends having tons of adware all the time. kek

>>542799459Surviving the psyop of Y2K was the equivalent of picrel. But 9/11 destroyed that hope completely
>>542799459Low internet accessibility for most people. No social media goynews.Weed marijuana was illegal. No vast nigger culture worshippers like today.Pre-woke era.
>>542806805No. We're not the best. We were lucky enough, however, to have the best. We still remember what was and the sheer amount of hope that things really were headed towards a star trek future and looking back on it with wisdom you realize we were all just such happy cattle, watching the seeds of our destruction take deeper root and grow, well fertilized by our own government and every single corporation of note. And even now, you can see the jew media doing their best to memory hole all of it. Screaming that everyone wals ALWAYS racist. How white people INVENTED Slavery. And they all fucking believe it. Like 90% of browns are eager to believe that instead of raising them up to a standard of living that their people had rarely even come close to achieving on their own, providing them with freedom and rights and fair trials and all we get are just that. Trials. Except they're quite unfair these days and justice is rarely served...Ugh. I'm tired, boss. Its never coming back. We're going to have to die to even have a chance at bringing anything resembling it back. In fact, with how much the world of gimmies seem to hate people who are actually working and struggling in this rigged system. Yes I believe they deserve to die and I hope they Burn in Hell. These schemers and connivers. These enemies of humanity. The filthy would be slave masters. God help us all. Give us the strength to be able to throw everything we wil ever be for the future of our younger brothers, our nieces and nephews. A future where we do nothing at all is grim indeed. We're riding into battle with literal demons. They think they're hot shit.
who played these?
>>542799503This, and golden age of videogames
>>542799459>WhyThey started factoring in suicides into crime statistics in the 90s so doctors forged a bunch of reports to make drug overdoses and suicides as "heart attacks and accidents".
>>542807308wtf are you talking about? Take your meds, schizo. Just be happy it happened and die praying to be born in a tomboy 90s chick body. Makes it all the sweeter knowing it’ll never happen again.

>>5427995122pbp
The problem is that the good times were temporary and we got them due to Clinton selling out our manufacturing sector first to Mexico and Canada with NAFTA and then to China when he normalized trade relations with them. A lot of the shit we're still dealing with really started to get its hooks in during that time too. LGBT shit went mainstream, rap and other niggershines got pushed to the forefront, PC culture was really getting pushed on kids through a lot of avenues.

>>542806980I remember both but used Napster mostly
>>542801020another quake enthusiast that actually sucks ass at both games. what else is new.
>>542799459no bull shit it was fun times. of course there's been a trend of every following-generation becoming more and more of shut ins. but the 2000s was a time when pop culture was at an all time high. rap music, the fast and the furious, people going out to the mall all the time to watch movies and socializing. you can claim things are just as fun now compared to back then but they just aren't. the statistics surrounding how often people go out to drink and smoke confirms that, especially with teenagers.life costs too much, we're reverting to listening to country music again, that's why suicide rates are so high. nobody wants to have fun and we're all hyper vigilant of danger.
>>542799459shit really was so cash in the early 2000s. cell phones in the hands of teens was new, and it was just talk or old texting, not even pictures. no social media, kids still hung out irl and we would have something social and cool to do every weekend, this was even better because we just got cellphones, but since social media didnt exist, we only used them to meet up more efficiently. you could still do something crazy and just run away laughing, i know that sounds very niggerish, but ive done so much illegal shit back then, it would be national news if I were caught, some things i still wont mention because it was insane, just run away before the cops arrive and their description of you will be a teen wearing a sweatshirt..golden age of games, internet wasnt gay yet and all white men, you could actually talk to girls and they would respond positively usually, you could actually talk to girls and you would have their full attention, imagine that. it really was completely different.
>>542799459There was a bright economic outlook. Notice how the huge increase starts during the global monetary crisis.
>>542799512My gf was on the volleyball team and she made out with another chick in a car on the highway while all these other dudes were watching and I dumped her on principle for cheating.
>>542799459we hooked up and had sex
A decent economyThe Cold War ended in the early 90s, Bill Clinton focused on growing the economy instead of putting ever more money into the military industrial complex, everyone thought we’d figured out economics and were gonna just keep getting better off forever until the financial crisis in 2008 where the public realized that a lot of the wealth was fake and taxpayers were on the hook for the mismatch.
>>542808419Thanks for proving my point.>>542808360Gay. TLDR. Sucks you weren’t a 90’s kid lmao

>>542799459Myspace was sick. AIM was sick. When you talked to girls, it was mostly on the phone so you could actually spit game and be charming (instead of endless back and forth pretending you're interested text, where they never ask about you) Everything was mad cheap and affordable. You could order 5 things at McDonalds for pretty close to $5. The video games were sick. And like other dude said, girls kissing at parties ruled. 90%+ of people weren't struggling, we were living.Obamna + smart phones + infinite scroll / algorithms + political extremist weren't really a thing. Everyone was just having a good time and living their best life. No OF, so hot girls would seek validation from real men, not simps sending them $5. No one cared about race. Raciest jokes were funny to everyone.We gotta go back.>>542799512Truest comment of the year award.>>542799543Big facts>>542799602lololololol They were still distracted by kool-aid technology.

>>542809360you had like 1-2 free seconds didn't last long anon. you should have remembered that. beep-ing was a long term thing they couldn't "fix" that.plus I started with pagers, then came the mobile phones. but don't remember shit about payphones, those would eat up your coin when whoever you called answered. then there were payphones but with a card you shoved inside, you'd have some prepaid credit on them. but that was here, not sure how things were in the land of the free
>>542809578In America you just called collect and did what I said then hung up ASAP to let your mom know you were done at soccer practice or whatever without her getting pissed and yelling at you afterwards for wasting her money. I don’t remember ever having to use coins or a card.
>>542809751>Hello this is Att&T. You have a collect call from "Mom I'm done with soccer *click*"
>>542809751we got these at some point. you had to buy a special prepaid card, would have some credit that would run out.I don't remember if we had call collect stuff here. no card no call.
>>542799459Why do you always use this picture of the chart with Laura Foy superimposed on it? Why her specifically?
>>542809751but we did have that 1-2 seconds free on mobile phones, at the very beginning. but people would abuse the fuck out of it and they quickly turned it off, the instant whoever you called answered you'd get taxed for the whole minute. so we started to communicate with ring duration. short meant something, long meant something. very long meant answer the fucking phone it's urgent and willing to pay for it lol
>>542805472Would unironically be the happiest day of my life so far.Could still be topped by LA, Tel Aviv, or the Kaaba, however.
>>542809909Pic rel>>542809930Seems pretty commified and gay. Not very land of the free, eh? Not the greatest place on earth until 2008, eh?
>>542810054That’s hilarious. I fucking love that we all just collectively in the 90’s and 00’s abused the fuck out of emerging technology. Civil disobedience meant something back then.
>>542807406I was more of a Putt-Putt and Pajama Sam kinda YN.
>>542810134bruh we had it better than you. we had one of the fastest internet in the world. I think for few years we were nr.1. car traffic police had no fucking idea what weed even is here until like 10 years ago lol. we have banging women and post 1990 we got le democracy and started to wild out like crazy.if I'd have to make a do over I'd still choose this exact place for it, it was just fucking peak.
>>542799512This has to be studied. Shit was cash
>>542806843Wow I remember it. I had to look it up though. I remember using it for awhile actually. I think once I figured out usenet though everything else was pointless. Because usenet had literally everything and was blistering fast and secure.
>>542808048I'm glad they work for you. I got a prescription for depression once (no fucking duh I'm depressed, the world is shit and most people are retards--I was born from my flippant mother to be loosh cattle for Jews and demons) and it made me feel so hollowed out I could actually understand why otherwise "normal" people could go on mass shootings with no remorse. Then I got off of that shit as quick as I got on it.
I once met and fucked a chick on fucking Odigo messenger lol. anyone remember this app?
>>542799459Like was fun and worth living back then. White culture was dominant. If you wanted a gf or a job you could get one in 2 seconds
>>542799459i dated a girl like this. Exact same hairstyle and variations thereof for a decade. New bright unnatural colors in it every few months. Bulimic ex-chubby now skinny girl who gave great head and had no gag reflex. molested at age 12 so she did anything in bed. in retrospect, I should have locked her down. Alas. I miss you Kelly.

Whenever anyone asks why zoomers are such faggots and the world isn’t reproducing anymore, show them this thread.Return to millenial.
>>542810865first computer experience was with a ZX Spectrum on BASIC, would load games from audio cassettes. then experienced PCs at friend's homes, 286/386/486/Pentium then finally got my own Athlon so I started on dialup, then got cable which I shared the cost of with two neighbours, set up a local network with a network hub device thing. then we started connecting these kinds of small local networks across the whole neighborhood. I remember the first porn images loading on dialup. been through it all. had a honda cbr f1 back then, fucked biker chicks, got shitfaced at wild forest biker parties. been through it all. if I die tomorrow I die happy my man. 90's/2000's were fucking epic human experince
>>542807406I definitely played this one at school. I remember the gypsy wagon thing , pretty sure it was in this edition.
>>542799459No smartphones and lots of fun house parties with live bands
>>542799503fpbpEveryone's seeing other people's highlight reals 24/7 and having the lives of rich or famous people shoved in their faces.Also, there's no leaving environments now. If some kid is getting bullied, they're getting bullied online and it's 24/7. Used to be if you had bullies at school, it was over the moment you weren't around them.For girls it's even worse. Guys are confrontational with aggression. Women at every bit as aggressive as men, except they attack each other's social ties, which social media is perfect for.
>>542799459it was fantastic times that kept men happy>girls were as slutty as they are now>but prettier and not fat>AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: they didnt know what their standards were supposed to be yet because social media did not allow them to have a hivemind yet and understand "what is chad" and "what is not chad" as welland the fact we made half as much per hour as today yet everything was literally 5-10x cheaper yet 2-4x the quality and 2-3x the size
social media has devalued how important you think the strangers around you are, and how cool you think they are. one thing zoomers cant possibly understand is how strangers were viewed as "automatic friends" instead of "automatic enemies" in the 00s and prior.
one thing that feels post apocalyptic these days is how back in the 00s and prior if you went outside, all the Volleyball Courts, Skate Parks, Trails, Parks, and whatever other things exist out in public, were always full of people having fun. Now you look at any Volleyball Court/etc and it's a fucking ghost town, abandoned, never used.
>>542799503>No social mediaAdding to this, cell phones became inexpensive and widely available so young people could easily stay in contact with their peers, the internet existed in a nascent way that prioritized communication over peacocking (text chat but no social media), housing and food were still relatively inexpensive, and video games were at a point where you could have fun doing LAN parties but online play wasn’t good enough that you could be a shut-in. Turns out forced socialization has positive psychological effects even for shy-ass permavirgin nerds.
>>542811234Even across the world in an eastern euro country, you’re my kin, anon. Glad to meet you and know there’s people who appreciate those times as much as I do. Much love, and best wishes dealing with the future. I gotta go to bed. Thanks for sharing and helping me remember.
>>542799543This Everything was "cool" Everything was post gay and weird and girls were less likely to "ew" at people before it got gay and weird again
>>542812003yeah just showing up to some random party increased your chances of fucking a thousand foldhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o38fhA7q5FA
>>542800066>sluts getting drunk at house partiesThis is also due to the lack of social media and digital cameras not existing yet. You could get black out drunk and act a fool and nobody would record it or photograph it to ruin your life. Cancelling didn’t exist and you couldn’t google somebody to find out about their past so unless you got arrested for a felony it was essentially impossible to gain enough notoriety for it to harm your social standing or career prospects.
>>542812053we had it good anon. thanks for all the nice movies and music coming from there in that period.
2000-2010 for me is age 13-23.Everything was better compared to now and better than what came before it as far as I could tell. In retrospect it feels like the last time anything new was made. Since then it's just a bunch of inferior replicas.
>>542799459How old is Laura Foy? She was in her 20's or 30's back when she was on that show on G4 about the website that I am not going to type out since it's a URL.
>>542802450Social media then had soul. It was people's public journals, and a space to share genuine interests. Also Myspace was great for discovering music. Now it's just politics and sanitized memes.
Weed cocaine and pussy for everyone Money wasn’t to hard to come by If I could travel in time I’d go back to 2004 before my rat bastard kids were born I hate them so much.
The world that was gave birth to the world that is.Something in that era was rotten to the core - the proof is the state of today. But this is dirty laundry that rose-tinted glasses filtered.
>>542812799Soul, happiness and love, the absence of this is death
Because the early 2000s, even after 9/11 was better than 2010 or 2020. I know several of my peers who’ve killed themselves, or died of drug ODs over the last 15 years, and this white collar to juggalo types of people. Society sucks now but at least I’m aware of the yids who did this and their parlor tricks. T. 38 year old millennial
>>542801020It's true, you had to try really hard to get banned back in the day lol. More often your threads would just get locked.
>>542799459No social media, no cameras, cheap booze, cheap gas, cheap cigarettes. Gorls were skinny, and head on a 1st date was normal. Life was great, in other words.
>>542799503>le social media is the reason for people killing themselves, not the hopeless wasteland of a world we're leaving behind with no job that pays, hordes of browns replacing the youths and boomerkikes starting wars and destroying the economy for le chosen people >t.worthless boomerlenial I wish you cock munching pedos were the ones killing themselves

>>542809513I still remember how badly I wanted to get a chick pregnant that same night when she busted out Zombies Ate My Neighbors and beat my ass in Street Fighter II. She was super cute too, and not even all fucked up like a manic pixie dream girl meme. I fumbled that ball HARD.

>>542799459Republicans were in the White House and smartphones hadn't come out yet
>>542811614I miss house parties with live bands. My college roommate at the time played in one of the only tolerable ones I ever heard play live. Shout out to The Cunt Punters though. Your frontwoman was obviously a bitch, but I liked the style.
https://youtu.be/wcztDZ13TLImovies from that era were also good>>542815705kek but doubt it. as an unc I'm really sorry for zoomies. they really drew the short generation stick. not even sure we should even talk about how good it was because it might make the graph worse than it already is these days
>>542811799That's actually pretty well-put. I don't think everyone used to be so goddamn hostile. I started seeing that shift happen in real time because I was in high school in the late 'aughts. People ten years younger than me I've met on the occasion I'm at a bar (it always sucks) act like total cunts. The men act like women, and the women act like turbo-women. They're, ironically, totally unsocialized.
I think people generally never compared themselves to some grifters online, now everyone wants to be some kind of entrepreneur. you could just be a an average dude with an average job, I had an old audi at 17 and everyone was really impressed.Now you need a fucking supercar or people will say you drive a shitbox.
>>542799459Which young people? You need to look at race, what are their prospects.
>>542799459We were genuinely happy for a brief amount of time.
>>542805003truly glad i "wasted" my youth enjoying the last blast of america before it turned into a low-trust brown hellscape.. imagine if you studied super hard through those years and missed your last chance with girls like this. back when dyed hair was a GOOD sign.
>>542799459>Why was the suicide rate for young people so low in the 2000s?The Dreamcast

>>542816802>We were genuinely happy for a brief amount of time.There was this halcyon period from right after the economy started picking up in the early 80's to basically September 11th that was pretty fucking sweet.
>>542805003i believe that rave culture will come back one day. https://youtu.be/tvPl9k1nmNk
>>542817687it carried on well into 2000's anon, right up to 2010 or so. mumble rap was the first signal something is wrong with ... everything
>you could walk outside as a small kid even in a big city without any fears >countries were mostly white and the non-whites were usually behaving decently>no internet fucking up your entire worldview, before you were comparing yourself with people in your surrounding, now you compare yourself with the ENTIRE world and this does affect you a lot>same with the job market, you could easily get a job even with low education and experience, people gave you a chance. Now it's close to impossible to get a job as a white male unless you have connections>you felt a connection and was proud of your country/society, it felt like you were part of a community>no more cultures for young people to enjoy except nignog stuffMost of this shit doesn't exist now
>>542799890Really is this simple. I didn't kill myself in high school (2001-2005) cuz I wanted to play new video games that were coming out. PS2 was way too good.
YTMND
>>542799459>Why was the suicide rate for young people so low in the 2000s?because they had all those cool 90's grunge bands to listen to. Nirvana, pearl jam, stone temple pilots, Alice in chains, Soundgarden, faith no more, silverchair, etc
>>542800237Stop tickling my fucking nostalgia nerves you cunt. post saved btw thx
>Song from that era, smash mouth >Why can't we be friends>Why can't we be friends>Why can't we be friends>Why can't we be friendsI miss it
>>542819052I was thinking, if this shit is a simulation, we kinda got the best seats in the house. we must be rich on the other side, this shit surely cost a pretty penny.and zoomers are like the poorfags, they got sloppy seconds in their pandemic cage
>>542802450>Bam's Tony Soprano arc
>>542799459You know people always say that it's retarded to act like the late 90s and early 2000s were the best time in human history and that "we" only believe this because we were you at the time. But stuff like this really is empiric evidence that something must have been better.
>>542804131The 80's was the grestest decade since the 50's or early 60's and has never been topped since. The 90's partially seems do good (especially for Americans) because it was the last decade before the 9/11 bullshit, but still was heaven compared to the 2008 - 2012 era of technogayracecommunism.exe
>>542820069Even boomers, gen exers and millennials openly admit or can't deny those years were objectively better so it's obviously not MUH NOSTALGIA. The only "people" that peddle that shit are professional trolls, demoralization agents, faggot zoomers or the insignificant sprinkling of cunts who are actively doing well in the year of 2026. Motherfuckers acting like the last half century isn't crystalized and preserved in HD color for us all to know it was superior.
>>542799459Hard to say, but I bet soldiers coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan with PTSD probably explains the start of the climb. The global economic crisis that happened at the end of dubya's presidency probably juiced these numbers as well.
>>542817905>brO ur JuSt noStAlgiC
>>542799459The good life that started 1990 ended at 9/11
>>542820466What's the fucked up about that entire GWOT era is not only the fact they invaded the world but they invited the world simultaneously. Immigration spiked, especially in the YooKay under that evil faggot Blair. All the while we were supposed to low key hate Islam and browns so far as it fuelled public support for Neocons and their MENA forever wars. Freedoms were silently stripped, using the new and radicalized imports' behaviour as the excuse to do so. Granted, if I understood this all as a kid, the 00's wouldn't have seemed so bright.
>>542799459Because amateur porn was actually good.
One thing I have noticed is that people have became obsessed with bureaucracy, fines, and gay rules with everything. Back then a kid could ride a skateboard, bike, or goof around now you can't. Yes there was "no skateboard" signs but its not enforce like today. Also people today love to get off on ruining over people lives via snitching, or power tripping with gay signs that list a bunch of nonsense rules. Another thing is that people valued rights and freedumbs back then but now they get in tribal culture wars to out do each side of being the best cuck to remove rights for moralfag virtue signaling.Also food was way better even though at that time it was being systemically destroyed.
>>542820242nah. early 90's to late 2000's, that's a fact son.80's had some gems but failed to deliver. design was utter shit. like bleakest shit out there. 70's were better than 80's, by far. 80's were a dip, 90's came back up and kept pushing to new hights into late 2000's. 90's and 2000's was strong pump and 2010's was a massive dump culminating with the pandemic "fuck you in particular"
>>542799459Everyone was social. The chads had their chad and stacy house parties and the chuds had their emo parties that had scene girls that were still hot anyway. Regardless of which group you belonged to, the nights would end with getting laid or playing some vidya on the couch with your buddies. Either outcome was a win. Smart phones ruined the world.
>>542820843Phones should be an 18+ thing.
>>542806843I miss Demonoid
>>542806934DC++ at LAN partiesHoly fuck
>>542820833>that's a fact sonThat's your opinion gypsy* but that's okay. You're also forgetting the fact half of the 90's felt identical to and was a defacto extension of the 80's. You could say the same about any decade. Also what are you saying was better or worse in that time, Romania or the West? Apples and bowling halls. The 80's was objectively more hypermasculine and supercharged in energy and culture than the 90's, what the fuck are you even talking about? Political correctness was worse.
>>542820943>The HIV/AIDS epidemic in the U.S. began in the early 1980s, with the first official report in June 1981 describing cases among gay men in Los Angeles, sparking widespread fear and stigma as the disease spread rapidly. By the mid-1980s, public anxiety peaked due to misinformation, high mortality rates, and discrimination against affected groups, including the mistaken labeling of Gaëtan Dugas as "Patient Zero."need I say more you homosexual? the gods hath branded the period as being gay and disease ridden
>>542820843The fact you even had these cliques at all says something which is the fact we had actual subculture biodiversity and not just the lame establishment shilled homogeneous nigger worship that we have now where practically everyone under the age of 30 or 40 in some cases acts, speaks and behaves like a nigger.
>>542821065They also all died enmasse and were kept out of the military with extreme prejudice amongst other institutions you fucking brown cunt kek what is that piece of shit in picrel, your family car? Looks like something the mob would do a hit in and leave a body in. Get killed you Turkish cumrag.
>>542821144that's your 80's car design you imbecile lol
>>542799512It was a fun time. Even nerds had good MMO's like Wow and Guild Wars and online gaming was good with fun social circles. Any walk of life and you had a social circle, something to do, someone do to things with, and something to look forward to. Now it's just endless injustice rage bait news clips, isolation, and hate from other groups. Mass survailance. We're getting small cameras and computers finally, so what do they do? Put them on cars, not as built in Dashcams, but to point at you and send data to your insurance about how often you move your eyes wrong. What standard do they use? None, there are no publications about ideal eyetracking behavior to driving crash risk. But they will bill you more anyway. Everything is a scam, everything scrutinizes us all the time, everything is unafordable, and the path forward is to boarding houses. Jack off while you still have a shred of privacy to OF, which every thin girl your age you ever met is on. You have to do hard labor but they can make as much selling pictures of their buttholes. Also only you can be drafted. You have to help defend the millions of dependent Illegas and H1Bs and women who sit on ass all day and make you do all the work then tax you for even more benefits. Those people deserve to vote you into pointless wars for countries that will spit on you if you visit. The government is recording this.We're not safer, crime is way up. We work all the time and cannot get ahead. Our country is in ruins, there's no distractions, we're poor, alone, and have no hope of anything improving. Infact, everything we invest in has CEOs promising ruin and death. Also the Quest 3 still demos with Beat Saber after 9 years. Somehow after all this AI, we can't get a single good new piece of software on anything. It just helped scalpers make GPUs $8k. You'll never have a kid, you'll never have a Zelda Switch 2, you'll never watch two hot chicks kiss outside of porn again.Complete mystery why people feel worse.
>>542802799>>542805003You sound like the most generic retarded millennials ever kys. you were raised by jewish directors and their television.
>>542821247And 90's cars by extension lmao so we're going by fucking cars as the marker or superiority now since you lost the culture argument? Women, niggers and faggots would absolutely spike in primacy all through the 90's as well as the further asset stripping off economies and industries. All of this because you couldn't accept the fact the 80's was superior to whatever the fuck you like.
>>542799459Gaming on PS2, unironically.
>>542821456Opening another front here and saying the PS2 was utter dogshit. The OG xbox mogged the living fuck out of it in every sense of the word. The PS2 framerate was fucking disgusting and the jagged lines on everything. Had I never owned the Xbox I probably wouldn't have noticed. The PS1 on the other hand is a piece of art, in both aesthetics and function.
The drop is because of falling lead exposure. The amount of lead in gasoline peaked in 1970, then was banned, and was practically 0 by 1985. The kids who benefited most would have been teens in 2000 and onwards.But now teachers are convincing kids they are trannies.
>>542821417>And 90's carsyou're delusional. see picrelI was talking about aesthetic with everything else.>>542820833>design was utter shit.which is objectively trueI think you are completely lost anon, go sleep. 80's were bleak everywhere, it was a weird period
>>542801020>Or is having a whoremonger in office worth it now just to "own the democrats"?? To be fair he geared his entire campaign around not going to war saying that Kamala was going to to war with Russia.2024 did seem hopeful at the time. It wasn't a 2016 by any measure, but I wouldn't blame anyone for voting Trump at the time
Watch any video from any european (na) country during 90-20-010 and you'll understand why almost instantly
>>542803160Bros...What did kissing feel like?
But I'll give you a hint, no:
>>542804761Am I supposed to recognize this? Can we normalize having some god damn context? This compressed to all shit video and a nobody on X with no tags, I can't even say for sure that the subject is human.
>>542799459Damn the late 90's was awesome to grow up in.
>>542804131This. We should not watch the past with rose-tinted glasses. Sure thing may have been better than today in some ways, but a lot of us already felt the full effect of what was to become normal. It isn't like the shituation suddenly reached a point where everybody felt it.
>>542821715>>542821789Is this AI or real, that's insane but I agree, I vividly remember Queen live I get your point
>>542800333>jej. I remember this.>Every single girl claimed to be bi for attention.so nothing changed
>>542821914It noted a 25 minute standing ovation. Who else do you think it could be retard? It's obviously Donald Trump.
This >>542799512 also we had GOOD GAEMS, literally each year we had new substantial hardware breakthrough and all wasn't a soulless cash grab my global corporations that don't care about product but how many people open loot boxes for $$$ or play gatcha shit also for $$$.
I do wish I was 20 in 2005 to experience the stereotypical american pie bullshit. but I'm a zoomer and the outlier of my generation cause let me tell you how zoomy girls operate. Basically if you have good weed and mushrooms in state that it's still illegal in, and you are well groomed, tall and skinny (not fit just twink skinny). You just become the guy every dumb bitch is willing to fuck and suck and let you do anything you want to them for weed and drugs. Zoomer girls are degenerates too that have really fucked up fetishes that they will just tell you because "lol sex positive" I have not met one girl from my generation that doesn't have some form of piss,beast,fury,ddlg,hardcore bdsm(knifes/beating),rape/gangrape fetish. but if you're lucky enough to be the 2/10 zoomer males who actually have sex you basically get wannabe pornstar pussy on the reg. I just wish it was the early 00's cause I have way too many friends who sworn off women because of the current social media, dating app, cancel culture hell hole.
>>542822942American Pie wasn't even remotely close to how it was. It far different but also far better. I'm not sure if any hollywood jew has actually ever captured the spirit of the early 00's. Hackers (1998) movie was pretty close in some ways, but only for a niche raver/tech/nerd subculture. I can't think of anything that captured the totality of the era, the women, the style, the goofy techno optimism, the music, the high trust parties, the drug use, the fun of meeting women 'online' when only high IQ nerdy introvert girls were on AIM or Yahoo Messenger. The never having to worry about 'the ick' or being Chad, you just had to be 5/10 in your local group to pull what would be 9/10 looking girl today.
>>542799459Idk maybe life was legitimately betterWe don’t have proper Halloween’s anymore We had McDonald with play pens We had dollar chips and fast food was so affordable often times you bought a full meal with whatever pocket change you found in your laundry basket
pre-smartphone (2009) era was amazing. the atmosphere is hard to describe to people who haven't lived through it. everyone was so much more hopeful / optimistic and positive about everything. there was genuine social cohesion. today it's gone. utterly obliterated. social media and the modern internet in general really destroyed human civilization as we've known it for centuries.
>>542799503We had social media too, we just used it in a more sensible way, to stay in contact with irl friends.Teenagers now use it to whore for attention, then inevitably do something retarded during their attempts to grab attention which backfires, and then can never remove that stain again because they decided to document it on their public diary where everyone can pull a copy of it with a single click.If all the shit I ever did as a teenager had been documented on a public profile because I'd have been too mentally incontinent to keep it to myself (or at least only between friends), I'd feela bit suicidal too, kek.
>>542802450>Even viidya addicts usually had friends.Can confirm. My weekends in highschool were just gaming during the morning and then meeting up with friends in the afternoon or evening.
>>542799459less gays, less trannies and less media.
>>542811667It is a self-inflicted problem though.None of the shit going on on there is of actual importance. It's all superficial fake shit, drama, or things you could be caught up with after just talking to that person face to face after 4-5 sentences.You can cut yourself off from it without being left out, but that's a pretty hard step to take for FOMObrained normalfags.
A recurring memory I have of the 2000s is the early afternoon golden sunset and warmth of spring and summer. I was out a lot on my bike and skateboard with friends. To this day the thought of a sunset still brings me back.being outside today feels nice to a degree but it isn’t the same. every street you walk on or ride a bike on you are recorded the entire time by everyone’s dash cams or street light cameras of possibly even someone with a cellphone making fun of you. just isnt the same. And I’m afraid to jusgvrecreationally ride my bike for exercise or walk/jog around my neighborhood because there is the slim possibility some Karen will think you arbitrarily look suspicious and post pictures of you online because you keep going around the neighborhood while exercising or something. So Idk. It’s a bad feeling. there is something liberating about just walking or skateboarding or riding a bike aimlessly for sunlight and exercise. Not just as travel from point a to b. (But that is demonized also) I’m tired physically and mentally. Don’t even remember where I was going with it anymore.
>>542799459MDMA/Ecstasy and clubbing was actually a good relief. Now they are duds
>>542799459white people weren't killing themselves because of video game so jews inserted themselves in the game industry to fix that

>>542816043Starting conversations with normies at bars is the biggest humiliation ritual in current year. I remember I tried talking to a chick next to me while watching a game on the tv (not even hitting on her, literally small talk) and the tone she used with me was as if I asked if I could fuck her dog. I'm not even ugly.
>>542802419Windows 3.11 on a 386 with turbo mode. 80Mb hdd for the win. Adn before that were Sinclair clones with games on tapes.Is just that since 2000 jews started to own countries and their secret services and infested all media and education with their crap + mass borwn migration rendering natives isolated. Here 2000 was like a huge change compared with 90's and 80's culture, and we started to have the first (((hate speech))) and returning ghouls.
>>542812494Probably 50.
That haircut was really cool until bitches adopted it.
>>542799459Honestly life for young people in the 00s really was like Superbad and those Hollywood movies. Girls automatically showed interest. From there on you just had to work with it, which was a reasonable bar. Nowadays everyone is an incel and sharing gay looksmaxing tips to be attractive to other guys and women are asexual. I bet looksmaxing will be looked upon as another stupid failed experiment very soon, just like "game" was.>muh JapanI didn't live in Japan at the time. But Japan is even further in the depressing future. You can sense they had a rowdy and fun past, but the present is completely bleak beyond imagination. The society is completely atomized and transactional, everyone only stares at their feet and exists in their own little universe fueled by smartphones and social media. The only people getting anything are either buying it or fags. I wouldn't be surprised if even fags are dry and turning into incels nowadays.
>>542799459this graph perfectly correlates the rise and decline of wow
>>542821340You’re a fat gay zoomer, anon. Sucks you didn’t get to enjoy the greatest time period on earth.>>542829981>lifting for women.Gotta spend more time on /fit/ japanon. We never lifted for women, and never will. We lifted during 9/11. We lifted during the financial collapse of 2008. We bought home gyms and lifted during Covid. We lift to be strong. We lift to be /fit/. We lift to be aesthetic. We lift for Zyzz. We lift to better ourselves every moment. We lift for the fuarks after a new PR. Bitches and glory come naturally when that’s your design.
