What made the early 2000s so special? I'm starting to think it's NOT just nostalgia...

when you bought something back then you bought the completed product, not an early access "i'll finish it later" garbage thing you paid full price for like we have today

Social media didn't exist yet, so women hadn't ruined the internet.

Video games were actual games and not interactive movies. They were harder to finish, thus more enjoyable. Cartridges and CDs were nice collectibles.

most people acted upon their own emotions and stated their own opinions instead of following the current thing, the one exception being that everyone, in the english speaking world, had negative views on muslims and islam became a synonym for terrorism.

one thing was the lack of modern internet fucking with your mood and attention span. you could sit and chill and soak in the atmosphere or focus on a slow game without needing constant distraction

that’s how it was here. everyone hated muslims, and it was even national policy to lock the ones fleeing the war on terror in concentration camps. that said people here where pretty genuine in their actions back then.

in the early 2000s i was a kid, liked computers and would be bullied for being a "nerd"
now everyone has a phone and/or computer and use them to rot their brains

perhaps it's the influx of normies that made everything shitty? corporations? both? i dont know desu

it's not just nostalgia, people that say this are coping because they are too weak to accept everything sucks today
well not everything, but you get my point
the 2000s had a simplicity that just died with the large corporations dominating everything
except the occasional troll everyone was friendly and naive

Larger sense of social decency. People tended to be more community minded on a face-to-face basis. Things were generally just done more on the basis that the product you were receiving was maximally produced due to technological constraints and development limitations. Idk though. I just notice that adults seem to lack a sort of commonality in a deeper level that touches upon being more rooted in what they experienced. That downfall of local papers and even more so the local shoppers you’d receive incline toward that premise. Too many wide-ranging forms of advertisements alongside the immediate gratification meme. It was halfway a treat to wait for something just pleasantly minding your business, looking around and analyzing the world as it went by you. Now you just feel empty watching people go about, knowing they live another life through their socials throughout their own privacy of a personal device. But anyway, that’s a symptom of life becoming more “peaceful” in a sense. Maybe to touch in that, the general mundane chaos of the early 2000’s and 90’s was nothing to find disturbing. From the American perspective in a white society, things mostly were very nice and well established. Maybe because the knowledge passed from their ancestors coincided well with their newly advanced materialism. Now, who knows how to really deal with the freedom each person wields within their personal economy. Also, less gobblegook from unofficial publishing sources. What’s popular media is not typically Traditionally esoteric. Something I’ve noticed in legacy publications and productions.

He had the benefits of technology without the drawbacks of social media and touchpads. People actually tried to do business unlike today where you cannot do it unless you straight up scam people but hey at least number go up right?

Could not agree more. Computers and stuff used to be for people who are into that. Now everybody has a device in they pocket but absolutely nobody has any idea of it.

The internet existed, but was still kept separate from the rest of your life. Your pic demonstrates this - the computer (and the net) exists in its own desk and corner, or a dedicated computer room. You weren't carrying it around in your pocket 24/7.

It makes me kinda sad that I fucked up my life so much. I basically traded partying, doing drugs, and fucking girls for the true peak of gaming.

I missed the WoW launch. I easily could have been a 35 year old virgins like some of you had I been around for WoW launch.
