Have some pop-punk & screamo-before-it-was-invaded-by-scene-girls-with-purple-clown-hair to bring you back, and be grateful that you experienced the glory days of the internet and life in general before social media.

I'm more of a 2003-2005 man. I was pretty fucking miserable in 2002 but I have nostalgia for a few things from those days like Newgrounds, erowid.org, the heyday of msn messenger (although it was still limping along as late as 2009), GTA San Andreas, Pokemon etc.
Oh, perhaps the most important one:
Malls as a cultural center. When teenagers would literally just go to the mall to hang out as an activity in itself. Also when electronics stores used to be PACKED with people lining up for the latest iThing. These still exist but online stores have really stolen their thunder and they don't have the relevance they once had.
>>25086625
It was off the charts senpai, At least 5:1.
>>25087130
erowid still exists
>>25086919
All that stuff is terrible, pop-punk is predominantly shit.
CS 1.6 -> CSS -> BF2 -> WoW (1.9 -> WotLK) -> ADULTHOOD
I'd do it all over again if I could.
>>25086919

>>25086666
It's not the tech that I am nostalgic about but the online communities.
It was before normies took control of the internet and when people didn't mind and actually wanted stay anonymous or act under a pseudonym when online.
Normies couldn't take having that disconnection from normal society and decided to make the internet as part of their lives rather than something to escape to.
Nice quads btw.
Does anyone remember this game? I never had any clue in hell how to play it but I somehow got pretty far, I was like a toddle playing this on PS1. Those were some exotic feels, highly doubt I'll ever feel anything like that again.

holy shit. i remember renting this game. it was absolutely terrible.
On a demo disc I got from lord knows where, there was a game that had the player riding a bike to certain delivery points. It started out, in the demo at least, in not so bad parts of town. Then on the third one it had this kind of industrialized area with 'greys' like aliens in it. You could stay on your bike and kick people and there some of the generic screams like in the jurassic park weird al video

I met so many girls from hanging out with the goth crowd. If only I hadn't been such a beta, I'd be an actual Chad now.
At least being the "nice, cute guy" made me quite alot of friends, and kept me out of drama I guess.

Does anyone else feel like the 00s were a shit decade? Even then, while I was a child, I felt like pop culture was really shit. It felt like a cheap tacky version of the 90s.
It's not until the 2010s that I realised that it really was shit, and an irregularity. While the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2010s will be beloved for years to come, the 00s will be ignored.

pretty much the same, my emo phase from 2005-2007 was the only time ive ever done well with girls. sad to think that the point in my life i now look back on as being the most faggoty is the only part where i actually got laid, or even had a gf. why the fuck did girls like that shit so much/?

I'm 23. A lot of people around my age talk about a lot of nostalgia for the 90s, but I think that's misplaced. The early-00s were the best. Well, I'll say 1998-2003 was awesome.
I think the whole garage rock revival from the early 2000s is cool.

2002 was a great year for me. Just out of boot camp, stationed in Florida. Got more fresh pussy in that year then i ever did again in my life.

>>25089256
>not enough recognition for the 00s
>this entire thread that regularly gets posted
my point is that you're too young to even be aware of the 90s.
Both decades had their share of pros and cons.
If anything the 00s get much more celebrated on r9k because
-it was the time the internet was becoming mainstream but was still a sort of Wild West gold rush where anything could happen
-it was the childhood for young anons
-it was the teen years for older anons
I'm older so my childhood was literally the 90s and my teen years were the late-90s & early-2000s, so I got to experience both.
The best decade is objectively the2010s
>>25089289
Baby is legitimately a 10/10 song
>>25089035
The 00s were extremely shit for reasons.
The jews tried to niggerify the white population-- early on in the decade, they were pushing nigger music EXTREMELY hard, as well as nigger fashion. All the kids in my middle school (myself included) were wearing baggy jeans hanging low and oversized white t-shirts.
Then halfway through, we got all this emo shit which would eventually evolve into the hipster bullshit that's been big (but mercifully seems to be on its way out).
>>25089079
>why the fuck did girls like that shit so much/?
Good question. Every now and then, I get nostalgic and look up some of my friends profiles on pre-normiebook social networking sites, and every now and then I dig up an old photo of myself from that time.
While I won't say I look cringeworthy, I will say that I'll never understand why the hell I got so much postive female attention back then.
I dunno, where people more "bold" back then? I dunno.
But yeah, sucks that I didn't have the balls to go through with a lot of the girls. Made out so many times, but never really knew how to "go for the kill".
Only a few real regrets though, like that 9/10 red-head in my high school class who obviously wanted the D. But I was to "nice" and too beta to go through with her, even when heaven gave me a glorious opportunity lol.
>>25089376
>The best decade is objectively the 2010s
Well maybe technology wise, but other than that this decade is terrible. Niggerism, feminism, corporatism you name it.

All those things existed back then and before.
The only difference is that you're more aware of it, by choice, through the internet and social media.
The real downside of being constantly plugged is that people always find drama to fill the void in their lives.

Not true. Because everyone is "plugged in constantly" there is also a LOT more drama eg Feminism.

Even I'm at fault for that. I spend hours on 4chan or on youtube comments arguing aboout things that have absolutely no consequences on my life like feminism or gun control in America or Israel vs Palestine or loads of other issues. I'm neither American nor Israeli nor Palestinian nor a woman.
I get worked up trying to argue for/against these issue that will absolutely never affect me.

Financial crisis of 2007-2008 and the following depression.
Remember: everything has an economic basis. EVERYTHING.
>>25089482
there's more exchange of words, yes, but there's not actually more real-world consequences to whatever you're arguing for or against.
For something like Anita Sarkeesian, the only reason why she ever got to be where she is today is because of angry guys online who gave her all the attention in the world.
In reality, in the real world, she hadn't done anything at all. She gave a speech at the UN, cool, the UN can't even get security council resolutions and general assembly motions passed most of the time.
>>25089523
Sure, those things did exist before. However, now they get so much more attention.
10 Years ago the 'wage gap' was just some urban myth backed up by some sketchy studies. Now even the US president is a cuck, regularly making statements like how we should be more inclusive and we have to tackle the 'gender pay gap'.

This. It's probably because it was one of the first memes becoming mainstream. Back when the internet wasn't so shit.

>When the Internet and my life as a whole felt more optimistic and anything seemed possible
Right in the feels bro. I'm a burned out jaded fuck now as well
>>25089376
this is true
I was born in 95, and I still hear my peers gush on about how great the 90's were. I have no memories of the 90's because I was only 4 when they ended- the bulk of my childhood was in the early-mid 2000's.
the internet is the only thing that strikes me as the main difference between now and then. The internet is ubiquitous- intertwined with nearly every aspect of our lives. An emphasis is placed on networking now, and nearly every person has a vast digital paper trail whether you like it or not.
The internet was pretty much mainstream by 2000, but it still felt like uncharted territory. I miss the emphasis on anonymity. people were hesitant to give out actual information about themselves, and doing so was a HUGE sign of trust. It honestly felt safer. Also I remember in 2007 I was active on a number of internet forums, now I don't even hear of anybody using them anywhere. 2008-2009 was kind of the tipping point where social media and smartphones made anonymity obsolete. 4chan (and to a lesser extent Reddit) is the only place where anonymity is still being valued.

MCR was never cool desu and it isn't cool now either.
well, it depends on which girls you hang/hung out with. Every girl I've ever been with between 2003-10 was damaged goods but some were more into metal so I kept my MCR CDs hidden away from them, but with others it was our common interest.

>>25092010
>Implying that those weren't THE soundtrack to those years
or were you one of those hardcore kids who was into Linkin Park and System of a Down? kek
>>25091979
yeah, actually you nailed it. but even they now sound nothing alike from what they started off as or what made them popular in the first place. There is a bit of a metalcore scene as the major alternative scene.
actually, anything from punk to hardcore to black metal kids are still into, but it's just that each of those music scenes are a fraction of what they were at their peaks. Not like in 1999 where everyone was into nu-metal.
>>25089978
same here, 2009 feels like yesterday while 2007 feels like so long ago
>>25092079
>>Implying that those weren't THE soundtrack to those years
>or were you one of those hardcore kids who was into Linkin Park and System of a Down? kek
I wasn't either of those but I'm definitely not proud of what I listened to in 2003. I still love some of the stuff I listened to shortly after, but even then I'm entirely aware that my ear was untrained and I only liked things because they were catchy. I find myself relistening to things I hated as a teenager/preteen and finding them amazing the second time around.
>>25092076
They are absolute dad rock though. It actually took them only one album to go full dad rock, the difference between Hybrid Theory and Meteora is absolutely night-and-day
Actually most bands from the late 90s & early 2000s are still around but they've all sold out or gone soft or "experimental"
Slipknot especially, their last album literally made me mad. Stone Sour from 2002 was heavier than that shit.
>>25092132
Meteora had some decent songs.
>>25092121
My point is that pop (popular, top 40) music from back then had so much more variety in it, and some "alternative" music to it rather than the avalanche of electro-R&B garbage that is 2015 pop music.
At one point Korn was more popular on MTV than the Backstreet Boys. Top 40 pop music today has almost been the same for a decade.
Oh my god, looking through my old flash folder, Counter Strike Cry Baby, old longcat flashes, fuck man.

The fuck.
>>25092198
wut.
Hybrid Theory had a few soft songs like In The End, but Meteora was 13 tracks of different versions of In The End. Hybrid Theory was very much a nu-metal album. One Step Closer or any other track kicks the shit out of Numb or Somewhere I Belong.
Back when you didn't have to deal with DLC and patches. Just plug, put the fucking CD 'n play
>>25092269
Or the game worked on release, and you played it for hours
I found an old data CD I saved back when 4chan was a new secrit club, perfectly preserved. Had a load of images that are just cringe inducing now in terms of humour, a winamp, snes9x and winrar installer, SNES roms, and an mp3 file of "I Will Survive" sung with Counter Strike related lyrics.
I don't think I can destroy the CD, but I'm definitely going to hide the cunt.
>>25092227
oh my god yeah.
I actually really like a few songs from Papa Roach's first album, but they were another nu-metal band to immediately jump the shark on their 2nd album. They tuned into some weird ironic glam rock project, and their lead singer ended up looking like a transgender lesbian.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2jCbXiEQI4
>>25092236
Meteora had plenty of hard and angry songs.
>Don't Stay

The only soft-ish songs are From The Inside and Numb, and they're both InTheEnd-tier.

2015 has been a great year for popular music. 2013 was good too. Go ahead, tell me Hotline Bling or Blurred Lines aren't great songs. And what about Kanye's last two albums? Am I supposed to pretend that they don't have any artistic merit because a black guy is yelling on top of the music?
>>25092345
ehhh even those pale in comparison to HB's
They obviously weren't dad rock yet, but they went from nu-metal to radio rock in just one album.
>>25092372
very obvious bait post, but back when I was a kid I would gladly listen to Wu Tang or Tupac or Puff Daddy or Ice Cube because even mainstream hip-hop wasn't fully watered down corporate materialstic garbage just yet.

right in my teenaged anxiety
29 here, late 90s/early 2000s internet was the best, video games were consistently decent till about 2006 (I mostly played the Final Fantasy games back then) which is when I was addicted to WoW and didn't pay attention to anything else till 2009 where I was mostly watching anime and then again in 2011 when I started get back into video games. I don't pay attention to modern music but it feels like nothing new has been done since 1995. Sopranos effectively started the golden age of Television which still continues to this day, movies on the other hand were shit. I occasionally watched adult swim stuff like Initial D / GitS and a lot of good series aired around that time though.
Also is it just me or is the later part of the decade (every 7th year onwards) when stuff starts to take a shift? I've got a feeling next year is going to be even more controversial for everything then 2017 will see a big explosion and shit will see a big shift especially politics.

Either people were literally still kids, younger than 10 years old, or they were still in their teens or very early 20s.
Either way, nostalgia. Plain and simple.
Although some of the culture was distinctively different in the mid-late 90s where everything was just edgier, especially the music. Just look at Woodstock 94-99.

the explosion of knowledge over the last decade is staggering, partly thanks to Wikipedia. 10 years ago if you looked up anything only it was a coin toss that you'd find what you were looking for, and whether or not the information was accurate.

Are you the same guy that always posts this about the pop culture of the mid-late 90s being more gritty and edgy than today?
Maybe you should go back and look at what was popular in that era. The mid/late 90s pop culture was very innocent and light-hearted compared to today.
Pop culture today is way more violent, perverse and openly sexual than it was back then.
If anything, the mid-late 90s was a time of blissful ignorance.

Tfw thinking about leaving my wife and moving across the country to live in the same city as pic related in the hopes I can make her love me

Reminds of the angsty teen aspect of the 00's.
God I miss that so much.

This is weird but I was just about to post how I thought shit changed after 9/11. Before that everything seemed fun, then everyone started paying more attention to the news and realised the world isn't actually a nice place to live in.

The whole 'Scene' clique kinda ruined liking them back then, even though they had some pretty good songs. Kinda glad the shit bias is wearing off a lot, I actually like them.
Ha-ha, I can't believe people are actually having nostalgia over the 00s. The 00s were shit.
It just shows how young /r9k/ is. Most of you can't be over 20.

There was so much freedom in a lot of different ways, if only they had more of the roleplaying elements in their games now, minus the roll the dice combat system.
I was born in 1982 you fuckers, you screwheads
Bitches don't know bout my summer of '93 nostalgia
>>25094812
I don't really consider them punk, but they were pretty awesome, anon. Really takes me back.
>>25095852
>sadly kids growing up now will look back on these years with the same nostalgia we all looks back on the 90s/early 2000s
You're probably right. But for now, it's time we look back on the 00's. It had it's quirks, sure, but it's definitely special for a lot of reasons.
2002 = spending hours on my flatmate's computer having cybersex with girls on dobedo. Good times tbqh

00's in general were awesome up until the very end of 2007.
Who else remembers this song? Good band imo tbqh

Anyone else miss the excitement of having a crush on a girl from back then? Everything just felt great.
>>25087425
tecnhically pop punk would be stuff like the ramones
>>25089035
For an autistic PC gamer playing online and not having much social contact throughout middle and high school 2003-2007 were amazing.
>>25097003
If you look at what's actually going on behind the scenes Ramones are Art Punk. The difference is one crowd plays dumb on purpose well the other plays dumb because that's all they can play.
>tfw Habbo
Who played this shit? Screenshot is from 2004 I think.
early 2000s were when anime and other cool kids cartoons were a thing on television which made watching tv as a kid fun. now it's just live action tv shows or sloppy animated 3D shows or those hyper stylized cartoons. not to mention the stories don't have soul.
Sup motherfuckers
fucking robot filter,ignore this
>Wobble That Gut is also another great track with a nice wobble sub bassline and a great beat, a very creepy feel to it on this heavy, typical Skream produced track.
>>25097569
I did, it was around 2007 though, pretty late. It was fun for a while and used like 30 euros to buy coins. They added way too much things to the game.
>>25094549
internet culture shaped us
>>25095629
Same situation here anon. Played 07scape a bit, got 2 99s and then realized it wasn't fun.
All the community cares about is being the best, there's no concept of having fun.
Also starting again but not having the curiosity and lack of knowledge as a beginner sucks.

I was born in 1997, what is this?
You're going to say "underage!!!" or "Those were the early 2000s, you practically GREW UP in them, how could you not know them?", but the thing is, I don't remember shit from ages 3-6 other than weird colors/shapes and drinking from a sippy cup. I don't know anyone who remembers those parts of life well, either.
I'd say the Bieber era, 2007-2009, is more my speed. It was a "so bad, it's good" time.

2007 was the year of The Big Bang Theory season one

>we play against each other taking turns and turning our heads the other way so to not look at the screen
I just want those carefree times back ;_;
>>25098329
Started so many hotseat games against my bros and cousins, don't think I ever finished a single one.
Great fun though.
Btw did the Ai cheat resources/units or was I just a scrub?
>>25098329
>HoMM3
that is the single most comfiest game ever made
>>25098329
I still play it... it's a bazillion times better than every game that came after it...
>>25089345
That is when post 9/11 really started to sink in. If you really want to remember a great America, you must remember pre 9/11.
>>25092909
>>you will never have the experience of being 16 in 2008, going home after school and playing Halo, CoD, and Battlefield with normies on XBL
Sounds like a nightmare unless you enjoy listening to voice shit posting, thats like the era of the endless summer for gaming. 90's/early 2000's was the god-tier of internet gaming on PC before computers got cheap enough for every pleb to own one.

I used to be a scene kid back in 2007. The whole 'movement' died when everyone grew up and moved on with their life. It's been years since I've seen a scene kid
Westwood is gone.

>goth phase
The people that refer to this shit as a phase are the same people that only played gen 1 pokemon and had a "heavy metal emo phase"
You're just fucking bandwagoning along with everyone else you fucking normalshit.

I fucking did, and it was completely horse ass.

'97 here. I can recall a bunch of things growing up. I remember having a shit computer, I remember playing Phonics with this rabbit character. I remember I used to play with my covers before going to sleep, and beat games that are considered hard today. I remember signing up for sites that were multiplayer. I remember many things, arguably more than now. It was a nice ride.
Also, dial-up was a bitch
>>25098665
BUT I AM ANON, I AM UPSET. RRRRRREEEEEEE
>>25098597
i'm sorry but if you are over 20 and still into metal you are a fucking loser even by r9k standards

GIVE IT BACK!
n64 controllers were a bitch, I don't know how I did it as a kid.
At some point in your life, you're going to look back and feel nostalgia for today. What will you remember?
>>25086919
None of that is screamo
Youre just another fucking pleb that knows fuck all
i started playing UO around 2003. it was my first mmo and probably the best memory i have along with the first couple years of WoW.

He's right though, and you should be ashamed of yourselves if you exclusively listen to metal/rock and their sub genres.
But you're not because that would require self-awareness.
>>25099218
before UO it was AOL chat rooms.
when everyone in high school had a screen name and AOL profiles were like a primitive form of facebook
>>25092831
not as shitty as 2015 but slightly more boring

>If you were younger it was the innocence probably, you didn't quite fully grasp how utterly shite life was
Of course, but do you seriously think that life now isn't harder than it was in the early 00's?

>standing near the exit to town in Hardcore duel games and spamming numpad "Die!"

>that one time in HC duels where some idiot brought his level 89 wind druid into a low level duel game, because he was asspained that he died and started going U FUKN PUSSY DULE ME NOW!! (AKA the thing that happens every time someone dies in HC duels), and to entice people to come out he threw his enigma on the ground at his feet and said if we could get through the hurricane (instant one shot on us) we could have it, and you cast Iron Golem on it and he lost it forever

Hello my fellow /school shooter/, castle was way better imo.
Any yuro robots played Metin2? I spent like good 4-5 years playing that game, both on the official and private servers.
official server feels
>tfw grinding for 12 hours slaying black orcs one group at a time just to get 2 levels
>tfw looting 30% damage RIB from mobs
>tfw getting my first skill to grandmaster
>tfw buying gold illegaly with my pocket money
private server feels
>tfw learning how to install a chinese client of the game
>tfw even to this day sometimes typing 0 instead of o because you couldn't type o on the chinese clientl0l
>tfw playing through hamachi vpn
>tfw setting up your own shitty server to play on with friends
that actually taught me a few things about databases
>tfw finding out which bonuses in equipment are best for your character class before guides were available everywhere
>tfw being the metin2 guru among your friends
