According to many, 2005-07 was the era where everything went to shit because of the start of Web 2.0, social media, johnny test, Ben 10, icrappy, housing bubble popped, and the Early Gen Z/zoomer kid culture was beginning. What do you think?

Personally, the internet really dipped in quality for me when Discord came out. At first I was excited, as a replacement for Skype with my friends, but now it's completely replaced all the IRC chatrooms I hung out in which are ghost towns now, and they've ruined plenty of fandoms and generals on Yea Forums by being cliquey e-fame hangout alternatives, laeving threads to be shitposting fields.

Late 2006 is when it started. 2007 is when all hell came for all media.

1998 - Early 2006 is when Entertainment was good and at it's peek.

>2005-2007
more like 2006-2012

2005. When CoD 2 came out.

2006 Yea Forums was still fun, but it was clearly
dogshit at that point, especially after the Scientology thing.

2007 is when Facebook went mainstream.

You're a zoomer for ignoring 1989-1997 (when there was classic simpsons)

I have a fringe theory that shitty calarts cartoons are a long-term consequence of the 2008 financial crisis. Nickelodeon and Disney Channel were doing fine during this time because they were able to survive on Hannah Montana and iCarly, but Cartoon Network's attempt at live action was a disaster and they needed something new and cheap, which is exactly what they got in Adventure Time and its low-budget goofy style. After Adventure Time became something of a phenomenon, other, typically worse shows in that style were issued (Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Star vs the Forces of Evil) to fill the gap in until they eventually became the standard.

Combined with the fact that the "little kid" audience cycles fast enough so that all little kids now expect that style and the fact that the economy never really recovered, that style stuck.

Fuck the Simpsons.
