Of course.
Early 2000s was pure comfy, last time we millennials were truly happy

Gen Z is growing up in the early 2000s, Gen A is 2010s

by "growing up" I mean being a teenager/young adult in the early 2000s
I was 4 when P3 came out :|

Most of GenZ won't remember jack shit of the early 2000s and beyond, because the generation starts from 1996.

Y2K era was pure Millennial pinnacle. And the peak of all media, entertainment and culture.
Last remains of the innocent, optimistic period in time, before 9/11 started crumbling it, followed by the flash-cancer that is the social media + smart phone invasion.

I'm a 22-year-old zoomer (around the middle of the range) and I remember the wood corner desks, I remember crt monitors, I remember XP, I remember PC games on disc, I grew up on PS2, and I remember the more decentralized and creative internet with forums, text walkthroughs, and flash games. Sometimes it seems like you're right though when I talk to fellow zoomers. I don't understand why. It's like most of the generation just spawned into the world when they were teenagers. Maybe I just remember things better or I was exposed to technology too young or something.

Burger issue, this continued up until ~2008 in the rest of the world until the iPhone destroyed the fabric of society

It was a great experience. It was also right before phone addiction became a thing.

This, iphone and it's consequences have destroyed the concepts of family, friendship, and community, as they were prior to its release. I mean just look at how much has become centralised through mobile phones now:
>2FA for fucking everything
>Banking
>Investing
>Organising friends/family
>Low trust/hyparanoid family "checking in" because they haven't seen you online for 2 days
>Primary camera for most people
All this saying nothing about social media and its impact too.

Where the fuck did all the culture go? Compare bloodlines 1 to bloodlines 2. 1 was built around 2000s subcultures, 2 is not only a shit game but because it is set in modern day everything is completely sterile.

It's crazy I had friends in school in like 2006 who didn't even have a computer/internet at home and would need to rely on school computers or internet cafes. My dad was a fuck up but I'm so glad he bought a computer for us in the mid 90s.

Turns out human culture is like bacteria culture, it can only grow in dark and recessed and abandoned places, if you shine a light on it and constantly scrub it, it never gets a chance to develop

>>725963575
The urban grittiness of 90s action movies is seen as old hat.

in the early 2000s I was getting my ass beat by my retarded boomer parents

I wish I had a gorgeous wife based off rise. She could be ai controlled and aged up to 18 so it wouldn’t be immoral.

>>725964061
Also if God decides I’ve been good he could give me a full on isekai to the persona world as the protagonist so I can romance rise or futaba for real.

1999 was peak civilization. the early 2000s were still okay.

i am teh penguin of d00m!!! >:(

It's technically possible but the PS3 released when you were 4. Wood corner desks were also discontinued by then. Etc.
Experience on a generation can change a lot if you have older brothers and got their old stuff for you.

Its weird how prescient The Matrix was about this.

>>725963575
social media destroyed it

I was the oldest but I guess I just wasn't spoiled with new consoles when they came out

P3 could have been set today and very little about it would meaningfully change. The story doesn't have many obvious "Oh wow this is the 2000s" things in it from what I remember. If you were trying to bait it honestly might have been better to say it made you wish you lived in Japan

>>725962704
I really think it depends on your surroundings. I am the same age as you but my parents had me very late, so I grew up with all their technology. I still remember watching a bunch of Disney movies on a VHS recorder on repeat when I was growing up, and I am probably the only one of my friends who can even use one of these or even remember them

>>725962704
It’s cause you and I are technically inclined. Also they probably just forgot about crts and XP, there’s no way they didn’t use them with how common they were up to ~2011

>>725965417
of course lulzsorandumb was soul, it was sincere and earnest, there was no layers of irony and pretense

sometime in the mid 2010s everyone became a closed off faggot who hides their feelings behind 100 layers of irony
