Undergrads? It came out in 2001 before 9/11 if I remember right, and it has that optimistic feel about the future that has been murdered in the last decade.
Brayden White
Unironically ¡Mucha Lucha! as it aired about a year after 9/11 and was the first flash animated cartoon, unleashing an entire slew of low quality garbage for a minute while people got used to cheater tools and lazy art styles.
Ethan Myers
I forgot to add the image.
Jeremiah Lopez
Remember when it was "flash" instead of "calarts"? Those were the days
Benjamin Perez
Pic completely unrelated, right?

It happens before 9/11 and the recession of '08. It's hard to find hope after that.
Bentley Rogers
My Life As a Teenage Robot was mostly retro inspired, but Jenny's design is blatantly "y2k aesthetic" as you put it.
Jackson Moore
Unfortunately short-lived.

What was the last real era with soul here?

the technology and fashion featured in these are prime 2000s stuff. DP aged like milk, don’t remember much about proud family expect for the Napster episode, but the other shows are still decent.
Jacob Morgan
Foster's and phineas and ferb are more late 2000s/early zoomer era. The thread is about the y2k era or the 1998-2003 era where everything was chrome.

I feel like I am becoming the boomer here, but I honestly think there was a real shift in culture with the rise of corporate social media. Things at least felt interesting and like they had a bit of variety until the late 2000s, now it just feels like we're getting the same old shit over and over and that creativity seems to have been replaced with imitation. I'm afraid the monoculture is approaching.

I noticed a shift post-2005 compared to pre-2005. For better or worse.
Juan Scott
It's already here. There is nothing authentic anymore. Shit, even sexual perversions have lost all lustre because there are no more taboos. Remember how merely liking vanilla loli, or for that matter cartoon porn was seen as shocking circa 2007? Our civilization is so dead nothing phases us anymore, but because of that nothing has any meaning or significance.
It's all very tiresome.
Luis Allen
That's simply regression to the mean. The vast history of cartoons has been, "something else is popular, copy it." For all that people shit on it, the 80s were kinda revolutionary in producing different shows, even if they were just toy commercials, which was taken to its height in the animation renaissance of the 90s. We're still seeing more unique things come out of the animation industry today that we did for practically the first 30 years of television animation.

To be fair both shows were being developed before premiering in 2004 and 2008 respectively, there still remnants of y2k in early eps.
fosters has a gamecube and bloo though he could get free beepers. Also PaF shows Candace and the goth girl constantly using chunky flip phones.
But if we’re staying strictly pre-2003 then
>powerpuff girls
>jimmy neutron
have late 90s-early 2000s vibes. By that rule would lizzie mcguire’s cartoon counterpart count?
Michael Morales
This is the perfect answer. So late 90s it had a wrestling themed episode.
Justin Garcia
Extremely Goofy Movie has 70s nostalgia in it but it’s juxtaposed by the whole XTREME trend that was happening in the turn of the millenninium.
It’s a trip to rewatch but at least it’s a goldmine for reaction images

>normally these things depress me with how young I end up feeling
>look this over and realize I remember moon shoes, early simpsones, saved by the bell, the arrival of Windows 95, etc.
I feel a little better.
while it was not really 'contemporary' in aesthetic, the early Futurama should count seeing as... Well, you know.
thing is, when mainstream society has become dull and tiresome, it comes back to what matters: the individual.
You are the one who gives it meaning.
You are the one who can still find joy.
There is always the unborn, the unmade, the unconditioned, the unoriginated, and most of all the unexplored.
Oliver Taylor
Thanks oldfag. Thing is, as much as I'd love to be a creative person myself, I feel like I've consumed so much media whatever ideas I have are derivative. I see that exact thing I'm painfully aware other people are doing when I try to do it myself. It doesn't stop people from enjoying those things I suppose, but I just don't feel any particular satisfaction when I realise I'm doing something I know has been done (and better) by somebody else already.

Jaxon Rivera
blues clues and kablam were the first flash animated cartoons
Jayden Cox
Pig City has that weird aesthetic of the early 2000s that's not likely to ever come back. A shame only three episodes are left in English. Everything else is in Russian.
Austin Phillips
great example. something that stands out to me about 2000s cartoons is all the green that shows up. sort of like 2010s cartoons and pastels
Ryder Gonzalez
i mean you started seeing it at the very late 90s. but it's definitely a noticeable thing. a certain color palette
Xavier Wilson
As well as themes. Technology is less magical than it was portrayed in the 80s and 90s, but it's still shown in a positive and advancing light.
Isaiah Anderson
Funimation's version of Dragon Ball Z (1996-2003. It beginning signalled the start of the late 90s, and it ending signalled the end of the early 2000s. Can't get more y2k than that
Owen Hernandez
Jason Rivera
more colorful than other examples but a lot about this show
Joshua Butler
Despite debuting in 01, I associate that show with the mid-2000s. It fits in with stuff like 4kids's version of One Piece
Connor Ramirez
those generation charts usually don't really work, because there's 2 moments in life where you grow your identity. Around 12 is when you start becoming a person and not "your parent's kid", andit's usually what people use for cartoon generation. But in reality there's also a time between around your 18's where you build up your adult persona, and this is just as much important. a show like king of the hill would rather be a 18 time influence than a 12.
Austin Martinez
It also doesn't take reruns into account. Scooby-Doo and Hong Kong Phooey are just as much a part of my youth as Swat Kats and Samurai Jack.
Isaiah Watson
>All grown up
How anyone enjoyed anything rugratsrelated is still beyond me
Joshua Carter
a lot of that stuff seems more 2nd half of the 2000s to me
Thomas Gonzalez
I think it's because people found the concept of babies talking intresting. It was only around Season 6ish when people began to get tired of the whole concept.
Lincoln Kelly
the early years were great. it was all downhill after the movie though
Julian Sanders
That's why we're here, comics are a small enough industry that you can still find soul here and there.
Andrew Carter
Or, it was trying to be, at least.
Blake Kelly
the meme usage of calarts isn't even correct
Parker Green
Neither was the meme usage of "Flash", since there were several similar programs that were used (notably Toonboom, which had all but replaced it by the late 00s).
Easton Smith
I don't think most of you understand what "Y2K aesthetic" means.
David Sanchez
the fuck? how can there only be 3, I can't find shit either
Grayson Smith
Jayden Gray
i can't decide if i like this or hate it
