>25 year old here, 1998-2004 was the best time ever to be a kid. Mysterious old Internet, Samurai jack, golden age Cartoon network, Toonami, Lord of the rings.
>Nope, 35 year old here, 1988-1994 was the best time to be a kid. Pre-Internet, SNES, Genesis, pre-globalization, golden age Nick, Terminator 2. 1998-2004 was already globalized soulless corporate shit.
Who's in the right here? Which era was better for movies/TV: 1988-1994, or 1998-2004?
The second guy here, definitely the late 80s/90s, but late 90s/00s were just fine too, everything only went to absolute shit in the mid/late 00s and after.
The world has always been a dystopian cesspool with no redeeming qualities.
This is just nostalgia for the innocent days of ignorant bliss taking through you. But then you've grown up but probably not enough to realise the ultimate hard truths.
Specifically 2007 when the iphone came out
Lets be honest, a significant percentage of the population longs for the days of the late 80s and early 90s again. There’s a reason the 80s aesthetic is so popular. It was the last era before globalization and America a sprawling consumer center for individuality
true boomer here. best time was the 60s. you kids will never know how great the summer of love was. pop music was patrician, psychedelics were being experimented with by all, and everyone was sexually liberated. for a little while, it felt like the world truly knew peace, even if that was far from reality.
bump
as it turns out, people are nostalgic for their childhoods, when they had no responsibilities or awareness of the outside world aside from pop culture that they were too unaware to dissect
shocker
you fell for a commie psyop that will kill us all
>God Tier
70’s, 90’s
>Good Tier
80’s, 00’s
>Ok tier
40’s, 10’s
>Absolute Shit Tier
50’s , 60’s,
60's music is depressing drugged up shit. I question why i used to listen to that shit by choice as a teenager.
This
And this
Imagine being this fag. Dulled on drugs and preaching propaganda. Just be glad that most of you wern't born a boomer
THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE YOU FUCKING FAGGOT TRANNY BITCH NIGGER.
>10s above 50s
No way
As for me, I have vague recollections of the early Internet era, and so that's the one I'm nostalgic for, but the late 80s early 90s era was probably better on the whole.
Go to bed William Shatner
The 2010s is a decade that's seen most people miserable, a lot of them to the point of wanting to kill themselves.
It's still a better decade than the 1960s.
I was born in '89 and had a great childhood. Riding bikes, exploring the ravines, sneaking onto the golf course at night and even started up some utility atvs with my mail key lol. Sure we played some n64 and ps but online gaming and cell phones didn't exist for anyone except maybe your dad. I remember phoning girls on the landline and having to awkwardly ask "uh can I uh speak to claire plz." Early days of IM were also kino, every new technology seemed so groundbreaking at the time, like when PS2 came out or when MP3 players and minidisk were evolving during the storage race. Nowadays I feel like we have tech fatigue and I hardly see kids /outside/ doing fun stuff and getting into trouble. I think this is the cause of rising autism rates. Blogpost over.
The reasons we have so much 80s pandering is because people who grew up in the 80s are now studio heads and producers. Its people who grew up in that time masturbating over that era.
The 21st century is the real start of the dark ages for mankind; we sparked the fire for the explosion of man made horrors beyond our comprehension.
Look at your lists.
You basically mention cartoon network three different ways for 1998-2004. Also anyone who thinks the two years following 9/11 were good must be 19 now, since the only explanation must the that person was an oblivious baby at the time.
And on THIS board, you dont even mention the Sopranos, or any of the golden age of HBO shows to help the case for the turn of the millennium. Or the year 1999 for movies.
The pros for the 80's and 90's are simple more numerous though, movies and tvwise. Quality of life being a factor, there's no contest. 80's to 90's wins hands down.
>Also anyone who thinks the two years following 9/11 were good
They were great, we laughed at dumb Americans and Bush and all that shit so much, it was the last time America was actually an "other" entity to mock before you brainwashed everyone with globalist propaganda.
No, 2006 was jewtube, twitter, and public facebook. That was the start of this shit, myspace and newgrounds dindu nuffin, ytmnd never tried data mining or social engineering.
Look at this, they actually base their fond memories off of how much they talk about america. What a bunch of FAGGOTS.
Yeah it's called living in the rest of the world, shit sucks.
Youtube came out in 2005
Born in 85 and fucking hell was internet dating easy from 2001-2006
It took no effort and within a week you would be banging the girl you spoke to. Now its just tinder and anti social people who cant communicate.
>Specifically 2007 when the iphone came out
This. Society went to hell when normies had easy access to the internet.
Midnight In Paris: The Post
mobile internet was a thing before iphones zoomie (and a popular thing too)
No it wasn't you fucking tard. It was expensive, slow and no one bothered with it. I had one of the first internet phones around 2004-2005 and it was absolute garbage.
ease of use made it worse though. when it went from techies being online all the time to everybody being online all the time.
The 80s and 90s were pretty shit but there was optimism in the 80s and the memory of optimism in the 90s with the hope its return but a general pessimism that it ever could. 9/11/01 was when the world started to flip upsidedown. Anyone born after '98 has really only ever known the hollow world. Feels bad for those who remember.
I remember when "defeners" brutally ranted on 2008-2014 era music (Kesha, katy Perry, Lady gaga, Justin bieber, Taio cruz, Psy, Lil wayne) as being pure torture. But now you've got zoomers saying "2008-2014 was the golden age of pop bops" on Twitter. Like I know people are nostalgic for their childhood, but the sheer turnaround feels weird, the hatred for that music was so visceral, and it turned into love.
Word. Lavalife was fucking awesome until the 70th "I'm the girl your mother earned you about" tagline became a constant thing.
I was born in 1993. Don't get me wrong, I love the early 2000s because I was a kid then, however I don't think that it was a god tier period. The 60s had cool music and the hippie lifestyle, 80s had consumerism on steroids. It was pop culture in its prime. And the 90s had the optimistic "end of history" and comfiness.
The 2000s? No one can agree what they did best. It was just a washed out mishmash of the 90s and 2010s. Even the 2010s has its individuality, horrible it may be.
Anything before 2006. The years after we’re just complete shit, it’s still shit.
MSN chatrooms was where I scored. It was so damn easy
Also good
>70s
Wasn't that just the 60s but with depression?
This is true Zoomers have minecraft nostalgia. A shitty game that came out yesterday.
lmao everyone likes to think they were the last to play outside.
I wasn't even around back then but it still seems somehow special to me.
2007 was already the 2010s
>But now you've got zoomers saying "2008-2014 was the golden age of pop bops" on Twitter.
I'm a late millennial but I agree desu
all i'll remember from the 2010's is hundreds of obscure memes from here
neither of them. the present is always the best time for movies, since all the movies from the previous era are easily accessible, along with any good new films that are being made in the present. More total films (of all qualities) exist the further into the future you go, which is another reason the present is always the best time for film. The only downside is being unable to see any lost films from prior points in time. Of course, this is only in regard to movies.
Bump
i agree
t. '88
Dude fuck rewinding cassettes and VHSs
Still love my Walkman though.
Ok but no soulful new movies are made anymore
"Soulful" or "Soulless" are not valid criticisms regardless of whether any films are being made which people consider "soulful." We only see "soul" in old shit because all the soulless trash released adjacent to it has been lost to time. Besides, most people measure soul in vastly different ways.
Shatner's not a boomer you tard, he was born in 1931
