I still miss emo boys.

Ironically they often did androgyny better than trannies do now.

Latter.

Most LGBT people are doomed, and there will be backlash, so I'm enjoying what I can.

Early-to-mid 2000's was back when I was watching three random episodes of Digimon on old VHS tapes. It was a lot simpler back then though, definitely.

I remember the 2004 era of hilariously bad movies. Oh yes, I remember that Son of the Mask remake, that live action Cat in the Hat. Those were great times, Nigel. Great, great times.

I have an autistic obsession with the cultural trends, aesthetics, and "feel" of the early 2000's. For instance, I started watching Scrapped Princess (anime from 2003) and found myself reminded of early 2000's Japanese fantasy (and, weirdly enough, early 2000's web design because of websites dedicated to anime like it).

Would you agree or disagree that 2007 was when the "feel" of the early 2000s went away, due to iPhones, the Big Bang Theory, the beginning of the recession, Obama starting up his campaign, mainstream social media, etc.?

Not him, but I think so. 2007 was a good year, then suddenly in January of 2008 the mood completely shifted. It was surreal.

I think it started slipping in 2005, but 2007 is when it became a hard division. The obvious culprits are the recession and the change in internet culture from smart phones and social media (remember when "link to Facebook" buttons were a weird gimmick popping up?), but I'm open to other possibilities.

Obviously 7th gen was starting up and cartoons were in a dark age except for AtLA (the present is a fucking goldmine by comparison), but those are constrained to their respective niches.

Rural Scotland here.

The 1990s feel lasted well into 2005, even then the 2000s feel lasted until 2011.

CRT TVs were still being sold and used in 2010. It's only around 2012 that flatscreens became more common but all of the schools and old folks homes still use them.

I sort of know how you feel. Sometimes I find myself searching for Adult Swim bumps from 2004. Maybe because I miss that time period too much.

I'd say Fall-Winter 2006 is when the feel of the early 2000s went away, when Pluto stopped being a planet, The WB changed into The CW (no more Saturday morning cartoons), HD started becoming the norm, Malcolm in the middle ended, Democrats won control of Congress as Bush's popularity reached record lows, Facebook opened up to everyone and not just college students, Sam Goody closed down, G4 turned into Cheaters and Cops reruns with not as much game-related shows, Wii was released and casual gaming gained traction, etc.

I'd say the 360 was more culpable gaming-wise, considering how the Wii had absolutely crippled third-party support.

2006 is fundamentally distinct from the early 2000's, but I still treasure it for its internet culture and the Haruhi boom.

When I was a kid living in that era, I hated all the emo and grunge culture, but now I appreciate that having negative emotions expressed in popular culture is something exceptional and rare. The present era of popular culture has reverted to the unrelenting positivity which characterizes most eras.

I played Halo 2 and Halo 3 in the 2000's, I miss rock and metal music. At least Breaking Benjamin and a new band called Starset is around. I fucking hate rap.

That's very interesting and valuable insight. Thank you, anon. I will consider the possibility of late 2006 and early 2007 to be the point of departure from the early 2000s. Also, on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, I think quite a bit started to change around 2006-2007, unless I'm mistaken, particularly with regards to anime.
