Is there anything that you miss about the early 2000s, robots?
honestly ytv and disney channel in the 2000's were fucking unreal
i feel like kids tv programming has really gone downhill
>>29357981
I was happy for the most part, but mostly the lack of normies on the internet. People seemed to make stuff because they genuinely enjoyed it and not to make money.

classic web was already dead by the year 2000
you newfags who think you were a part of it kek
its like you think the internet and 4chan are the same. lots of normies came to 4chan in 2007 so you think thats the same as the internet in general
I miss going shopping with my parents as a kid. My dad would put me on the shopping cart and he'd drive me all around the store. My mom would get upset because she was worried I would get hurt.

Ah yes, when I was a young lad I remember a time when my friend used to receive a gamer magazine in the mail, it came with playable black "demo disks" we got to try final fantasy and tony hawk shit.

Doesn't even compare to the shit today. Everything today is a lot more dumbed down too not just in terms of content but web design too.

Fucking plebs. It wasn't the same at all. Normalfags spent maybe an hour a week on the Internet at most and they were confined to 2 or 3 sites. Now they're everywhere, on every site, 24/7.

The internet was slower and shit, but the experience was something. Truly something I want to repeat just for a day.
>>29358791
it wasn't the same but it still sucked just in a different way
you're mad because you missed out on classic web so yuou try to convince yourself that the internet was ACTUALLY still good until 2007
classic web was dead by 2000. sorry
>>29358880
Not him but tell me about classic web a bit pls. You mean like 1.0 post 95 or bbs and shit?

face it, you guys are all warped by nostalgia
the web was NEVER good

>normies
Found the normalfag.
Honestly? Emo/goth-ish girls. You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones with the blue hair and the Invader Zim fanfiction and the Organization XIII coats and the Emily the Strange arm warmers who shopped at Hot Topic and listened to MSI.
Also, this is more late 2000's, but playing crappy newgrounds electronica on loop on my family's shitty, boxy-ass computer while I browsed forums, slurped Top Ramen souper meals, and waited for toonami. And old youtube. Old youtube poops and walrusguy.
Lastly, going back to early 2000's, I miss waking up really early, when it was still dark, and turning on my TV with low volume so my parents wouldn't hear me watching Zoids: Chaotic Century.
Anyone here remember how mind blowing Malcolm in the Middle was when it came out?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x-ujqvOhts
>>29358973
I remember that shit, I never was able to find any good goth porn. The girls I found were always too pretty, or too fucking ugly
i was looking for something that looked like it could be amateur, even if it really wasn't. With some cornhole shots.
>>29358933
>the web was never good
can we please explain this line of thinking? because it just sounds like disagreeing for the sake of a disagreement.
>>29358933
Fuck off.
>Hurr it's always nostalgia
The Internet is small as fuck now.
You no longer have someone making massive sites in geocities or something dedicated to Pokemon, The Offspring, or anything they're a fan of. There's no reason, because nobody would look at it. Everyone looks at only a couple sites per day now. Nobody goes to google and just looks for new sites anymore.
All of the free newgrounds games made in flash have been replaced by paid games made in Unity.
>Hurr everything is at its best now, nothing has ever degraded over the years, fucking nostalgiafags.
>>29359077
>everything is at its best now
wew, never said that
just saying the internet has always been cancer
really doesn't matter if its worse today cause it always sucked
>>29359115
okay i can't regard anyone who uses more meme than punctuation.
just off yourself, little one.
>>29359022
I wasn't talking about porn, though. I was talking about middle-schoolers.
Also, as long as we're talking about myspace era...
>that 6th-grader who posted nudes of herself on myspace and got kicked out of your private school
>tfw you saw them and they were fucking hot

When I was in sixth grade I knew this fat girl who had tits that were probably an H-cup. I remember she closed her locker on them once.

Sheeeeit I lost that in 3rd grade. My heath so fucking bad man. There were 70 year old men who were fitter and tougher than my fat, diseased sickly looking ass ever was in middle school so I just threw in the towel early.

Discovering and browsing through the website StupidVideos. com.
When Toonami was just starting.
When it was easier to find people to play Yu Gi Oh with.
Growing up in general.
I was 10 years old in the year 2000 and we had just gotten a computer.
Dial-Up and the Internet was new to my family and i.
I dove into the Internet and never looked back, explains why i act the way i do hahaha.
>>29358973
We really took that kind of person for granted back in the day. They were cancerous and annoying back then, but now I would trade every individual Brony for a million Invader Zim fangirls. What happened to them? Maybe all those girls grew up to be the cunty feminists we have to deal with today.
Pic is JTHM, another staple of the lost breed. I miss when you could get away with edgy stuff like this.
Back when I was young and had some modicum of hope for the future. Now I'm an unemployed NEET wizard.
>ywn come home from elementary/middle school, sit on the couch, get one of those TV dinner tables, eating the dinner your mom just made and watching malcolm in the middle or spongebob or whatever
that juicy baked chicken with some ketchup, a cold limeade, mashed or baked potatos and corn/peas or something
i have a fucking bacterial infection right now that makes me shit my brains out all day. i just want to eat normal food and feel normal again holy shit why did I have to think of this
>>29358973
>Zoids: Chaotic Century
>>29359223
This. Early 2000s weren't that good objectively, but they were a lot better than now. I never thought the future was going to be this fucking bad. If I had seen as a kid what things would become, I would have gone mad and killed myself years ago.
>>29359346
You don't know what you're talking about. That's the icing on the cake. I have a fucking tube coming out of my neck. Eating more veggies aint gonna change that.
i kinda miss being less mentally unstable
also watching cartoons all day was nice
>>29357981
i started middle school right before cell phones became a thing. i had to call people on my parents' landline. they told me to get off the phone if they had to use it.
without the internet, i would've been the biggest pleb. i watched cartoon network and nickelodeon mostly. sometimes mtv. that's how i learned about stuff like blink 182 and jay z. beyond that, "hip" culture could only be attained by having a magazine subscription or knowing someone cooler than you. that was literally it. i didn't have either. but once we got the internet, i could read anything and everything that interested me. which, i will say, is one of the GOOD things about normies being on the internet. much easier for them to plug into cool shit and LEARN that there's more to life than cell phones and degenerate faggotry.

I never thought they were cancerous. Cringery, sometimes, yeah, but I was on-board for the whole fucking thing.
Remember this?

There was a point in time when little girls would scream along to this shit in the carpool. Edgy? Yeah. Would I trade this hipster, happy-ass crap for it any day? Yeah.

>>29359373
>Maybe all those girls grew up to be the cunty feminists we have to deal with today.
that's exactly what happened.
it's like women have no sense of past events. they just jump onto whatever is trendy. for instance, if you look online at an older guy's favorite music, it's usually older stuff, that he grew up loving, with some new stuff thrown in. but women list almost exclusively new stuff. like no regard whatsoever to the stuff they grew up liking. unless it's ironic (I LUV JOURNEY 5EVER)
i notice the same about their politics/ideals/whatever you want to call them. there's no sense of balance or wisdom of experience. no sense of mixing new ideas with old knowledge to form an original point of view. i see women around my age (27-33) using the same buzzwords as 18-21 year old girls on tumblr. not a HUGE age gap. but definitely enough to remember the world without smartphones and instagram and reality tv. like are you really using the word "patriarchy" with a straight face on your fucking dating profile. are you really using the word "wanderlust" and calling yourself a "netflix bae." what the fuck are you doing. have you not transcended the fadspeak trendy bullshit meme. i mean, it's fun. i use slang. but... ugh no thanks.
>>29359373
there is literally nothing edgy about that picture
Yes. Early 2000's had better music, better TV, better commercials, more bearable politics, no faggot PC liberal bitch culture, less normies on the interwebz, less government.
>>29359391
>malcolm in the middle
that show was the shit when it came out
never liked simpsons but malcolm was master race
>>29359418
sorry.
most people who say they can't help being fat are full of shit (and food). sounds like you're legit though so my apologies
>>29359593
that sounds like some /pol/ tier thinking
you ARE right, don't doubt yourself
>>29359684
>better commercials
you're right about that at least. now everything is le quirky and memey or NERDY AWESOME shit.
or that shit kind of meta or irony. tthey do it so wrong
i fucking hate tv commercials. they always sucked but they're a BILLION times worse now.
I miss the old nickelodeon...
>>29360731
nickelodeon always sucked
really tv always sucked
the internet has always sucked
there are better things to be doing with our time, i just cant make myself do them
The signal to noise ratio was insanely good. Back in the day -- there used to be good forums to post on. Does anyone here remember Totse? It was a website dedicated to freedom of speech but it had a number of boards that became famous:
better living through chemistry -- this was the junky board where people would post actual guides to synthesize drugs. It was moderated by a guy who had an IQ in the high 190s+ who would post crazy shit about creating HIV vacines. He was also a pedophile ... but that's another thing entirely.
networking & security -- home to some of the biggest script kiddies on the Internet. It was a classic hacking forum where all the actual hacking took place else where. Back in the day users from N & S pulled off some hacks that became legendary. There were people on this board that could drop a quarter of the Internet down by hitting every major router and backbone network. We're talking some major, major shit. They also hacked a bill board one time which is quite lulzy.
bad ideas -- mostly filled with faggots trying to break into houses and steal shit but -a lot- of stuff went down here. A new kind of discipline was invented here called "night ops" where autists would dress up as ninjas and attempt to break into military instantiations, police stations, and high security buildings. It started as a joke but developed into an actual discipline.
I could go on about everything that happened. The history of Totse was legendary and outlives the site itself. But where I'm getting out is how cancerous the web became compared to what we had. There just isn't that unique mix of fucked individuals any more. Just boring, normie content and stupid memes. We never even discuss stuff, ffs.

I miss the internet before normies ruined it.
Newgrounds ain't the same anymore.
I guess it happens though. The creators took a more corporate turn working on games professionally and having meet ups at places like mag fest.
In order to boost their image and status they had to get rid of the super edgy material.
They also had to make the place more appealing to people who can't take criticism (the deviant art crowd) to boost popularity.

I miss the shoop da whoop and this is Sparta memes. I miss the funny youtubepoop. I miss watching lesbian porn on my shitty notebook. I miss constantly playing StarCraft. I miss working out with my step dad telling me if I didn't get buff the pretty white girl would get with the black guy. I miss playing red hot chili peppers, tool, ween, and a perfect circle on the way to school or the way back. I miss that DBZ game I played on my brother's gameboy. Hell I even miss that kid on 5th street. I miss going to the park with my sister. I miss that one candy shop. I miss the library about 3 or 4 blocks away from my house. I miss Courtney. I miss a lot.
I miss can you microwave this YouTube channel. Fred and nin high. I watched all of those with my sister and it was great

Hallpass forums.
YTPs
I would remember laughing hysterically to them, I thought that form of humor was one of a kind.
Now you have shit like Tim and Eric and the Eric Andre show that are basically watered down versions of it.
Also, Super Deluxe is makes videos that are basically just straight up YTPs, and these fuckers get paid as professional comedy writers to produce shot for Adult Swim.
Maybe if my 12 year old self had gotten a copy of Sony Vegas back in the day when this was still in it's infancy, I could have honed the craft and actually have a career.
