Anyone else feel like 9/11 should've never happened? Like at all? Like it doesn't even feel real? Sorry to borrow a term from a shitty movie; but 9/11 is not a canon event. Same with the great recession of 2008 and the covid bullshit of 2020. God I'd give anything to keep 9/11 and other tragedies in my lifetime from happening. Who knows, maybe we'd be partying on the moon right now.

People say that there is a stark difference between the pre 9/11 world and the post 9/11 world.
Me? I was too young when it happened so I cant really conceptualize it, it all just seems the same to me.
I remember 2008, it was gay I dont know.
Covid was 100% artificially manifested for political purposes. Not that people get sick but it was 100% blown out of proportion for political tactics.

I was 8 on 9/11 and remember the whole day and how the world acted in the following years as I lived in NYC. But I was also young enough to get my beliefs from TV and old people who convinced me that a dozen arabs hated American freedom so much that they knocked down some towers. So I grew up with a lot of resentment of the idea that I never got to experience "freedom"

Now 23 years later I realize that our own government forced the post 9/11 world to push their own agenda and everything that people miss about the early 2000s was intentionally washed away. Faggot ass US govt let some saudi arabian mudslimes hijack our planes and then we invaded iraq to kill saddam and destabilize the middle east for israel...

2008 and 2020 were psyops to empower certain groups of people. Think about those 2 years and think about who was impacted by shutdowns and recession. While everyone else struggled. Almost like it was a power reset to regain control

Yeah, as a young millennial it was kind of odd watching the US go from a pretty strong islamophobic stance to openly accepting and encouraging their migration over a 10 year period. Sometimes it feels like the govt intentionally fucks with it's citizens minds to victimize certain groups of people. Like growing up in the 90s and 2000s there were plenty of anti-gay jokes in film and now politicians run on pro-lgbt campaigns and rake in millions calling people bigots for not accepting them

It's not just like 2020. Most people didn't have the internet and only news from controlled media to base their decisions and feelings on back in 2001.

Now I know the internet now is pure dogshit but THEORETICALLY there is still a treasure trove of information on the internet if you know where to look. Unfortunately Gen Z faggots are accustomed to slop being fed to them through the algorithm.

It is. The internet is just another medium for people to get brainwashed but in 2001 (where the internet still existed) we had cable news telling us that Osama and his minions hate America and were sending anthrax to our mailboxes. And before 2001 there was Cold War and Vietnam War propaganda on black & white TV as well as radio. They've been fucking us for a long time.

>treasure trove of information on the internet
Yep, I have an excel spreadsheet I update regularly with the most random in-depth hard to find sources of American history that have been shared online. Things from the initial police response and reports from Columbine archived from 1999, to the increasingly suspicious scientists death that were accumulating in the 2000s, to Joe Rogan talking about the repercussions of a fateful two-party election system back in 2013.

I wish the current generation was as intrigued about the depths of the internet as Gen X and Y were, using it as a research tool and not just entertainment and monetization.

i think it's important to communicate what it was like in different times. in a peer-to-peer way, rather than in a sterile historical way.
each generation will feel like they lived in different worlds, but that doesn't have to be isolating/divisive.

>>5689761
There just wasn't so much fear and distrust. If you've lived with that your whole life it'll be hard to imagine a world without it.

>>5688631
I used to work at a company with a lot of global co-workers. I bonded with a lot of the older Europeans through late 90's and 2000's trance music. It's a pretty cool way to close the generational and global gap and those dudes had a lot of bangers.

On a different note, it's kinda funny seeing (later) Gen Z and Gen A being interested in 2000s internet culture and wanting to return considering the shit hole it has become. There has even been a rather sizeable resurgence in the aesthetics.

I feel old bros...

>>5689807

>>5689770
>If you've lived with that your whole life it'll be hard to imagine a world without it.
that's EXACTLY why it's so important for people

>>5689842
Thinking about it today, I don't think I can really blame 9/11, that was just a major event of the era. The proliferation of high speed internet, social media, and smartphones has more to do with it than anything. People lost trust in each other and stopped sharing as many common experiences as the amount of stuff you can experience blew up, went global. It's no longer just the local TV stations and movie theater but you can watch anything on a bunch of streaming platforms, so we haven't all seen the same stuff. Instead of school, work and local clubs being the only social outlets we now have this vast internet and you are talking to people thousands of miles away instead of nearby. It has made everyone more distant. Dating/meeting people especially has turned to absolute shit.

But I was one of the early(ish) internet adopters. I was on web forums in the late 90s onwards... I was always destined for this I suppose. Now I just wish the internet was as fun as it used to be.

They will never know the spirit of the 00s. Their entire "recollection" of the 00s is going to be third-hand information, curated, sanitised, exaggerated, falsified versions. Remember there are newfags on 4chan that have difficulty with .zip files.

There's a certain joie de vivre that the modern internet AND users lack. Most newfags seem to be knee-deep in the culture war. Something that old nerds weren't really a part of until somewhere in the very early 10s when nerds/geeks/otaku suddenly became public enemy number one.

Probably because he was talking about the culture war online you lack of comprehension ass faggot. Nigga talking about the end of WW2 like that’s relevant. The internet was a neutral party where you went to escape daily life. On the Internet nobody knows your a cat or a dog. Then forums shut down and normies flooded the internet with their smartphones and turned the internet into an extension of real life. Hence the online culture war that took off 10-12 years ago. It’s a newfag thing.

i lived throught 9/11, worldwide it didnt change that much honestly, only made airport security tighter

what changed everything imo was social media and internet giants (google, facebook, etc)

the internet and the real world were like 2 separate things with only a bit of overlap, sure there was myspace and fotolog and whatnot, but they were kinda like diaries, you would post it, maybe get some comments, and thats it, people didnt live through it and FOR it, it was like an extension instead being the main purpose

every site was a separated entity, with its own community, with very distinct content, nowadays theyre all interwined, all content became homogeneous, it's all the same shit with slight coloration to appeal to the masses

content in (videos, flash animations, etc) were done because someone decided to fuck around for fun and try something, there was new stuff, people experimented new ideas. Now everything is specialized for a specific content type because things are done with the single purpose in mind to monetize it

Obvious statement is obvious. We won't know how it was before we can remember except for being told by people who were there. Whatever, you make some good points, it's just that the zoomer hate on certain parts here is just too much (inb4 sensitive snowflake)
The culture war was a thing, you were too young to see it, but sure, you could say it wasn't as bad. There was definitely a more exciting and optimistic wavelength here regardless of your personal jadedness. And inb4 you don't know bcuz you weren't there! I know. The recorded content that we still have a fair chunk of paints a clear picture compared to today

Heck I have evidence on this very thread, all I did was to mention the simple fact that being proud of your race, nation or country was advertised as something evil and unclean before the internet and that we where all part of that culture war bullshit consciously or unconsciously even back then ... and then you jumped on the offensive right away along with a fiew other retards.
You didn't say I was wrong or that you didn't give a shit or that it didn't mater somehow, you just jumped on the offensive, like you did back then, like you do now and you'll do in the future... and you fucking dare say you miss the time when life still made fucking sense?

In highschool I had a crush on a girl that looked almost exactly like the girl in red highlights. Looking back, I'm almost positive she had a crush on me as well, only I was too beta to pick up on it and I don't think she was able to drop a hint in a sane way. She was damaged in the way that all girls like that were. Riddled with cutting scars on her arms and thighs. Pretty sure she had been molested by family or something. Last I heard she got married to a guy thats 40 years older than us. Probably dodged a bullet.

You are mindless and worst of fucking all, you attack people pointing out nefarious things or trying to defend shit you supposedly like.

Last true emo and scene people I saw was in 2009. By 2010-2012 they migrated to being hipsters because they turned 18 and realized they couldn't fake the psuedo-depressed image when their parents were rich. So they started shopping at Urban and moving into big cities while eating plant-only diets. Now they're the karens behind the current LGBBQ movement. It was always about attention.

How can any subculture in this day and age be authentic if it can be dismantled almost immediately and then sold in stores back to you?

>>5691733
yeah, by 2008 the general vibe of the 2000s was starting to fade. The Crash/Recession and the beginning of the Obama years marked an obvious shift.
Pop Punk, Emo and other 'Rock-influenced' music was very popular and characteristic of the 2000s, whereas by the early 2010s Rap and Black music came to dominate the industry.
The Old Internet was also struggling to survive into the new decade, and by 2012 most of us already had a smartphone with Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram, though they weren't as cancer.

That's always been a problem. It's just alot more common now. I miss when subcultures took offense to the marketing and commercialization of their niches. Like when gaming became mainstream in the late 2000s and PC gaming later on because Ninja & Drake streamed together. It's a mockery.

People used to have a lot more pride in their interests and hobbies which prevented them from being watered down. Now 4chan could create a viral meme and next week McDonalds and Wendys would have a meal to exploit it.

Look up the meaning behind the Fuck Parade that the Techno Viking was a part of. Same idea.

1997 is the absolute cusp of gen Z. Hell, even 96 is pushing it.
Love how zoomers keep pushing the year up each time.

I've met zoomers born in the 2000s and when I tell them I was born in 1998 they immediately think I'm ancient, imagine being born in 2005+ and hearing someone was being in 199x, you'd think they're old too, webm related. Again, I'm not bothered by it, but most zoomers don't consider you young if your birth year starts 199-.

Guys, when did you just 'give up' by living a stable, income-based, boring, 'healthy', secure and insurance-based life? I know that I did. All childhood wonder is gone. Nothing interesting to find on the Internet, even if there is then you can't bring up the energy to care about it. Games are just ways to waste more time, you don't spend hours and months in them just doing stupid shit, you don't even open them up anymore most of the time because it's to exhausting. You do the bare minimum to survive, then you struggle to make it to the weekend, oh and it sucks because saturday you'll have to work too because suck it bigger or you'll be fired, then you have to pay your bills or you'll be fucked and end up on the streets. When your finally off work you need alcohol and drugs to cope with your empty soul sucking existence and also to do the fucking house chores in the remaining free time because you don't want to live like a bum, do you? Your parents are either dead or old and need help themselves, you probably have an awful connection to the rest of your family because neither you nor them cared and now it's too late and you also never developed the necessary skills to make social connections that actually materially help you to make it through the year. All the while you see the world around you burn and in an accelerating spiral of degeneration, numbing down any possible resistance, and
a game of dividere and conquer to make individuals powerless while also feeding them with so much life draining food and media that there's just no hope anything ever changes.

>>5692843
to be fair, i was born in 1990, and "born in the '80s" does sound older, even if it's not significant
the older you get the smaller a year feels
like to someone born in 2005, someone born in 1998 is 36.8% older, while for me, someone born in 1983 (same gap) is only 20.6% older

I don't care what other zoomers think. Hell, let's be super generous pretend the cutoff date is 2000, you're only two years ago from it. You're only fucking 26.

You would have been 6 when facebook came out, 9-11 when smartphones and social media appeared and started taking off, 7-8 when the PS3/360/Wii were released, 5-7 when always online broadband became cheap, 14-16 when always online anywhere mobile internet took off, etc etc etc

You were always knee-deep in the gen z internet experience. You were 12 when 4chan was on it's last legs.

Black music was popular, but it still competed with other styles of music, and my perception is that Rock began to fall from mainstream (after being in it for about 4 decades) in the 2010s. Look at typical 2000s movies and cartoon openings, they casually featured Rock genres that were popular at the time, which diminished the decadde after.
Mumble rap did come after, but "black music" (not including rock) and artists inspired by it were more popular than any rock band in the 2010s (except, maybe, a few bands that were including hiphop and shifting away from rock in their style, such as Linkinpark). Popular music distanced from rock and moved towards hip-hop and R&B in the 2010s.
At least that's my view

>>5693102
>but it still competed with other styles of music
My point. Everywhere had it's own tastes and styles, bubbles that may or may not interact with each other.

These days everything is heading towards this homogenous, bland, safe singularity.

>>5692650
We 96-99 kids can have things in common with both generations. We're baby milleanials and boomer zoomers
Milleanials were the older kids we looked up to and taught us cool stuff, zoomers were the cringe children clinging to our legs
We had a childhood without social media and smartphones
I used Windows98, telephone fax-machines, cameras with Kodak films, heard the annoying AOL internet noise, and had family trips to Blockbuster to borrow VHS tapes

>>5692855
I really couldn't care less what I am, generational divides are retarded.

>>5693183
>I really couldn't care less what I am
Then you wouldn't be phone-posting some shit portrait video in an effort to pretend you were millennial.

>>5693143
personally i think it depends mostly on the environment you were in around adolescence
like as one rough example, if you had or were expected to have had an android/ios smartphone when you hit puberty, you're absolutely a zoomer

even myself, born in 1990, don't call myself a '90s kid, while i did technically literally grow up through the whole of the '90s, my strongest memories are really from the end of the '90s and early '00s, i was already an adult by the time smartphones started really getting popular (though i had used a smartphone much earier, a friend of mine got one in 2004, but you needed either a very good reason or too much money to have considered one then)

>>5693187
I never claimed to be a millennial nor did I ever claim I wanted to be one, all I said was that zoomers don't consider anyone born in the 90s Gen Z, you're an idiot.

>>5693189
>born in 1990, don't call myself a '90s kid

I have same sentiment I was born in 1981 but I was too young to experience much of what happened in the 80s so I relate more to the 90s

>>5693196
Stop embarrassing yourself. You're not even a 90s kid.

As I said, we're inbetween generations.
I hit puberty at 12, only got my first shitty android at 13, when most of my peers had those BlackBerry keyboard phones that I envyed so much. Only a few had the iPhone, and several still had the cool Motorola Razr V3. I remember friends getting together to share mp3s via bluetooth

You're generally right about the emo to hipster process, but I think you'd be surprised how many emo/scene kids and even hipsters aren't super cucked today. It was quite a broad subculture, and even included Christian elements with loads of Christian hardcore/metalcore bands getting popular. Those guys don't flatiron their hair and wear girl jeans anymore, but a good chunk of them are still church goers. Lots of other scenekid music shit on women and whores, and you'd be surprised how many hipster couples who were living in Williamsburg or Center City Philly a decade ago who now live in the woods and homestead/homeschool. Not the majority, but I'd also venture not simply oddball exceptions either. Nothing is really black and white, but the loudest troublemakers from my age cohort largely seems to be kids who didn't have a clique back then and got onto the online cliques more recently when such things were less organic. Those are your trannies and tumblr whores augmented by loads of dipshit Gen X who are also doubling down being late to the trend while also being the most vile college professors who really lit this fire.

Find it very humorous seeing young people discuss 'aesthetics'. Especially under the guise of it having anything to do a revival of this or that. It's very much in line with what you'd expect from those raised on ipods; collecting and sorting, categorizing images. Not actually starting any kind of scene, producing anything new, pushing any boundaries. Just archiving the past, or at most imitating some 'style' for a couple pictures, but that feels more of the same.

I don't mean this to denigrate, mind you. It's endearing like when a child tells you the headcanon of their toys.

It didn't used to be this way. Back when there was more competition on the internet, it was more free.
Same with businesses in general. Most industries are now controlled by a couple cartels with little competition.
The last time a company was broken up due to competition laws was sprint in the 80s

>>5692650

In his defense, he was my age, so what mid-late 30s? He moved to USA, plays shit to rural rock shows. Probs sorta cringe to be an old guy singing about eating pussy then kicking sluts out your dorm room.

But my point was about the people who followed it all. If anything Danny is a good example; went from britbong fuckboy to singing country music and has 2nd Amendment tats. The "scene" didn't just become a bunch of pink haired faggots.A chunk, sure, but I tire of normies on 4chan who listen to the kike radio thinking because the one mall emo girl he knew in high school who is a single mother to mixed kids now is somehow representative of all of us who actually had a ton of odd subcultures primarily channeled into the internet

>>5697383
>Probs sorta cringe to be an old guy singing about eating pussy then kicking sluts out your dorm room.
I get what you're saying anon but he literally stated in the interview that he wasn't going to be performing that song because of how sensitive people are, it's a recent interview so it wouldn't be hard to find if you Google it.
>but I tire of normies on 4chan who listen to the kike radio thinking because the one mall emo girl he knew in high school who is a single mother to mixed kids now is somehow representative of all of us
I get what you mean, I was an emo kid through and through, I listened to all the typical bands that emo kids would typically listen too, but frankly speaking I was way more into progressive rock and experimental/avant-garde music, I even preferred nu-metal over metalcore, I think only a small handful of emo kids from back then turned into turbo libs, but even then the ones who did were the typical ugly/fat girls who hung around the emo kids because they were too ugly to fit in anywhere else.

As someone who remembers the 90s the difference after 9/11 wasn't immediate. The feeling probably started to shift mid 2000s. It was a gradual thing that just kept getting worse. Going to high school, lots of talk of enlisting. Then years later your friends came back from the sandbox (or didn't) and they're broken from the shit they saw and did. They aren't the same people they were before and maintaining friendships with them is tough.

The movie industry starts getting worse, yeah we get a slew of cool war movies and the movies get more competent about gun mechanics but the plots are more gray and just depressing. The optimism of the 80s and 90s is gone. Everything has to be updated for the modern reality we live in. Housing crisis and Great Recession hit, first time Millennials have experienced an major economic downturn. The job market goes tits up and a bunch of us can't find jobs. Then the SJW shit on campuses starts really rolling which leaks into the mainstream culture. Gamers are shoved violently into the culture war for really the first time, excluding Jack Thompson.

The last two decades have been overall pretty shit except for a few highlights which we can't even agree on anymore because everything is politics now and the other side can only be viewed as the enemy.

>>5685540
>Covid was 100% artificially manifested for political purposes.
Yup. Covid was all about returnign power and control to the ruling class. The people were about to vote Trump back in for a 2nd term. All the polls showed all the Uniparty lawfare and impeachments against Trump only enhanced his popularity.
Covid was all about making life as miserable as possible, during an election year, to 'get rid of Trump'.
