Anything before 2006 is better than this full blown globohomo technocracy we are in right now

No, you're a Zoomer.

Are you really gonna mock people for being unhappy that they didn't get to experience better times? If anything you should be empathetic towards them, as they realize things used to be better and are sad they didn't get to live it.
And once again, the "technocracy" really began in 2010. That was the year the timelines shifted and we entered, as the kids say these days, "clownworld".

Yes, but you're right. I just want to remind them that there was a better time, not because of superiority, but so they don't get conditioned into thinking the status quo is the new normal. You're right on how I shouldn't mock them, but you're wrong it started in 2010. Culture doesn't just magically change at the end of a decade. There's always some overlap.

I don't see the problem. Minecraft is much more zoomer than 2006 Roblox ever will be.

I played Roblox when I was 12 years old. I'm 26 now.

I personally disagree with the latter assertion, based on my own observations. 2007 was a dark omen of things to come for sure, but 2010 was the first year that felt markedly different to me. That was the first year I saw people using smartphones, the first year social media became something important outside of the Internet, and the first year 2010s pop became accepted in the mainstream, with Justin Bieber's "Baby", Bruno Mars' "Just the Way you Are", and Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" all becoming accepted by the masses.

Once again, these are just my observations, but I think there's something to them.

That's all true, some things lasted two more years. The point there is that the late 2000's were wildly different from the early 2000's. Same how classic Toonami ended in 2008 (before the modern reboot). I truly believe the Great Recession is to blame for all this. Same with how Japan drastically changed in the 90's after their Great Recession.

>2010
>first year 2010s pop became accepted
No shit, retard. That's also when it started to exist at all.

This is so accurate that it actually hurts. I identify with like 90% of this.

Attached: all around me are familiar faces.jpg (599x880, 166K)

There were some 2010sish songs in the 2000s though. Usher's "Yeah", Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" which itself came out in 2009, pretty much everything by The Black Eyed Peas and Fergie, M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes", and most of Rihanna's songs were all very 2010s-sounding.

So I'm apparently a 19 year old woomer.
Also I was just able to log into my old neopets account so holy shit.

user, what the fuck are you on about? Where were you when Kay Perry's I Kissed A Girl and Lady Gaga's Bad Romance hit around the late 2000's? Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III? Coldplay's Viva La Vida? Enrique fucking Iglsesias? Come on, user. And I remember seeing people drop their Razr's and going for touch screen phones immediately after 2007. How old are you exactly? I don't think you remember these things clearly. Yes, shit ramped up in 2010, but it officially started in 2007ish.

>emo panda eyes are gone forever

Honestly most of this sounds like something more up the alley of a 30 year old. I can't really imagine a 7ish year old into prime time Linkin park or Newgrounds.

First time I'm hearing about this, got a link or anything?

I Kissed A Girl wasn't half as big as the songs I listed, and Bad Romance was released at the very end of 2009. Lil Wayne was also not as big as the songs I listed. Viva la Vida wasn't 2010s at all, what are you talking about? If anything I'd say Viva la Vida was pretty early 2000s.

If you read this , I'm basically agreeing with you that many pop songs foreshadowed the 2010s. But there wasn't as much of a monopoly on mainstream music as what started in 2010. There was both more artistic freedom from the creators' standpoint and from the listener's choice. Alternative rock and emo was also pretty big in the late 2000s, and both of those are pretty much dead now.

Where are my zoomers at?

youtu.be/GRC5ab5tLUY

Alright kiddos time for the true test : where were you during 9/11 and what were you doing?

I was 1 year old when 9/11 happened.

Saw my mom listening to the radio in the morning. Was in 3rd grade. I remember the cafeteria at lunch being particularly quiet that day.

> If anything I'd say Viva la Vida was pretty early 2000s.

>The song was released on 13 June 2008 as the album's second single, debuting to critical acclaim and commercial success.
Pal, I won't judge you for being a zoomer. I get shit from older millennials by not living the 90's like they did. It's okay, you don't have to be so defensive.

>I can't really imagine a 7ish year old into prime time Linkin park or Newgrounds.
I was 8 when I discovered Newgrounds in 2004 and owned three Linkin Park albums and a shirt, lad.

I was about to get the third clue in Blue's Clues when I got out of school early, but my parents changed it to the news. The following year I saw Ground Zero in person.

I still got mine. I had my gf slap me with the paddle for fun, but she slapped the back of my scroat boat.

...You're really being this concrete? I know it was released in 2008, but the style is more early 2000s than late 2000s.

00s culture died prematurely.

In the End was the first song I ever downloaded online, off of Napster.
I was so young I remember asking my mom if it was okay.
But you're right, I'm almost 30. Linkin Park was popular for a long time, though.
That meme seems way too specific for a blanket statement. Some self indulgent prick probably made it about themself.

And yeah, things started falling apart in about September of 2009. But while all those garbage artists (with the exception of Lady Gaga, who is genuinely talented) did have hits in late '09, they didn't match up to their songs' success nowadays. There was still more freedom in the music scene. One of Avril Lavigne's biggest hits, Girlfriend, came out in 2007, and while I'm not a fan of Avril, she WAS the pop-punk genre of the 2000s.

My point is, there was still more wiggle room back then, than in this decade.

I don't think anybody liked Minutes to Midnight.
That song Leave Out All The Rest is actually really good in retrospect, though.

You'll get called a zoomer by boomers and a boomer by zoomers. It's pretty neat.

Was suppressed power level weeb that just wanted to check one out. Was at hotel with friend and we got on the bus/shuttle. Couldn't sit by eachother. My buddy say by a landwhale in Haruhi costume and I got stuck by an actual retard dressed as Yuki. The retard would not sit in the wiindow so I had to climb over blob of retard mass.

Halfway there the other landwhale goes "She thinks you're cute!" I glance and aren't sure what she means but the retard is now looking at me making exaggerated kissy face. Other landwhale tells her to kiss me and the retard starts climbing towards me and pressing against me.

The vile strench was awful and the retard strength and mass was nearly overpowering me.

I tell them both to stop and they don't. I slammed open palm into tard face and shoved her off into the aisle and put my back to the window and raised my legs. The tard tried to climb back and i was ready this time. Send my foot into its face and sent it flying into another landwhale.

It was a pretty harrowing experience. I didn't get to go the conference as I got arrested. Charges were dropped as they deemed it self-defense.

In Texas, back in 05 or so, high school girls would get into the club and get up on the rail and twerk. This was a college town, though, so it was pretty lax as long as no one gave them any alcohol. They'd bail after about 20 minutes anyway, though, I think it was a dare for the popular girls clique at the local schools.

Pretty sure I was in a few GGW montages, just some passing drunk dude though.

I was in Disney world. I was 8 years old and was looking forward to the water park so much which we planned to do last during our vacation. I remember someone getting on the intercom and telling everyone the park was closing. I don’t remember if they announced what happened but it was weird. The whole park got a fair bit quieter and the atmosphere was odd, we went home and saw it on TV. I was still young enough to kind of be detached but my older brother was in tears. We ended up having to drive home

My parents were jesus freaks who hated anything remotely foreign or "dark".

People in 2009 said the same thing about 1999. You were too young to relate to that, though. In 2029, someone is going to say the same thing about 2019. By then you'll likely have the perspective to realize how silly and juvenile that sounds.

I miss hop-scotching between different websites' links/affiliate pages to find new sites. Also just miss having to go to different sites for different content, as opposed to must things getting funneled through social media curation.

roblox came out in 2003

I'm so glad that I'm not a stupid ass boomer and can enjoy new things.

Anyone here remember this website called Bored.com? It was really popular in the mid-late '00s, and it was a collection of links to jokes, games, and flash animations.

all I really miss is when the internet was a secret wonderland and the world was just slightly less connected, most shit is pretty good these days otherwise

I still do this when I find myself looking at old ass sites like Video Game Directors Cut. It's always a fun game to see how many of those affiliates are just dead links or abandoned sites.

Nah, but my dad would record Saint Seiya and FMA on tape for me since I was at school when it was airing. He has always been cool with my chinese cartoons.

youtu.be/oYG6J_iaMXQ?t=495

here ya go

the economics, so to speak, of the internet means that consolidation is inevitable
it being digital means that all barriers to expansion are gone as well as the barriers keeping people from funneling into the best offer. If I want to go to the store, I have X shops within Y radius, who need to pay rent and staff. If a restaurant is too popular it will be full and I might not even be able to go. If I want a website, I have the entire world at my fingertips, so I just pick the one that's slightly better.

Centralization also is it's own benefit. If you have two websites, I need to check both for content. The one that's slightly better will get more content, and then it will be more popular since it's easier to find things and it will compound on itself. Websites are like utilities, you only need one phone line, and having 10 electrical socket types is just a pain in the ass.

The only system we got new was a PS2 and for most of that time we just had a few games like Kingdom Hearts. I spent my childhood playing on a really old mac games like Lego Island, The first three Myst games, Sim Tower. We also had a SNES with tons of games.

So as a result I have no friends because my generation are all zoomers and I'm a boomer at heart.

No, I'm saying it's too vague to be specific to apply to the age group. You probably put it together with a few google searches and think it's true.

It's interesting just to see how differently people experienced or remember the 00s since half of this thread spent their childhood in the 00s and the other half spent their teenage years in the 00s.

Was too young and introverted to go to any cons in the 2000s.
Wish I could have though, they seemed to be way smaller in scale and had a stronger sense of community.
A lot of conventions these days are huge press events that attract thousands due to how big the gaming industry is now.
Also social media caused a breakdown in the subcultures we used to have so now the demographics for these events is way more broad.

I remember the common opinion of all the adults back then was that the 00's were a terrible decade and we'd be glad to be out of it. I wonder what they think now.

I was a sophomore in high school in first period math class when my teacher was called to leave the room by another teacher, then when she came back started talking about how the end was upon us and to get ready for the rapture (this was at a small town school in the Bible Belt) and then the bell rang, then when I got to my next class my science teacher told us that one of the tallest buildings in the world had just fallen to the ground and to go to the library and watch the news because history was happening. Not more than one minute after we went into that library the second tower fell.

Well, you hear people saying that about the 2010's now. Just wait 'till what people will be saying in the 2030's.

Attached: 1484630375662.png (1291x702, 415K)

Perhaps. I think they were right, honestly. The social cohesion was bad back then and it's only getting worse. We can have fond memories of the past but still recognize that it was worse in other ways. For instance, imagine if some disaster struck and we were all forced to use the internet quality and speeds from 20 years ago - it would be awful. We tend to overlook the good things for some reason.

I always wanted to go but I was a broke college kid living with my parents and there's no way in hell they'd ever give me money to go to a nerd convention.

Now I'm 34 and could easily go but I feel way too old, like the time has passed me by and and all the young weebs would think I was a creep.

2013 was the last year of old internet. 2014 is when everything that 2007 started came into full effect, and we've never recovered since.

Mine actually is slower now because I live in the countryside. Sometimes it takes me like ten seconds to load a 1mb image.

Same situation though less country and more dirt road off a main paved road so can't run any cable down this way.

Even in 2013 it had been in decline for a while. Internet communities had been dying for a while.
As a brony I feel that MLP may have been the one, last big showing of the old internet before it died.

It's weird, I never cared about that show and always thought people like you were strange, but when I heard that that show is currently airing what will be its final season and is about to end I got kind of sad. Like an era is ending.

People way older than you go to those conventions now.

I just miss PC mags at this point, they were in a state of dying for a long time but even at the back end I enjoyed them. It's all so impersonal now, and critics act above it all instead of revelling in their role

Web 2.0 is a thing because corporations, marketing firms, and special interest groups now see the potential for money making in the internet. Web pages now always want to know your location for a reason. YouTube wants you to use your full name when in the past it was advised not to. It's no longer an escape. The internet is an accessory to the real world. Now anyone with a minimum wage job can get a phone plan to browse the web.
It was a lot more exclusive back then and to think it was even more exclusive before the Eternal September crisis.

Yaoi paddles were the gayest thing ever. And not because they were yaoi, it could have said "male penis in female vagina straight heterosexual paddle" and it would still be mad gay shit.

I was two when it happened.

I definitely wouldn't call 2013 "old internet", that's reserved specifically for the Geocities and AOL wild west. Youtube had already been fucked by Google, social media had infested everything, forums were all but wastelands, and the niche was becoming mainstream. But, it was definitely the dying breath of a sort of sliver age.
blows my mind that the show is almost 10 years old. Things felt so different then.

Attached: stickpage.png (682x385, 149K)

You're right. By "old internet" I meant more like stuff from 2005 to 2009.

>to think it was even more exclusive before the Eternal September crisis.
How much do we know about this time? I thought a small amount was preserved in some google pages somewhere.

I feel that anyone who unironically (and incorrectly) uses the word "weeb" just to bitch about anything Japanese at all should be sent in a time portal to the worst of these conventions so they can experience what it really means.

fuck off

>(and incorrectly)

No, they're actually using it correctly. It was a troll term started by Yea Forumstards to piss off people who liked anything even remotely Japanese, much like posting "JAPAN IS SUPERIOR" macro images of Japanese girls eating eels out of each others asses.

Looking back I can see how parts of the community in the old days differed so much from how it is now.
One of the first big dramas was how one episode had a pro-religious message, pointing to how atheism still was a major and popular force on the internet, unlike today.
My first exposure to SJWs was through derpygate.
There actually are forums for discussion of the show.
Yea Forums used to be a major influence on the culture.

I don't actually watch the show anymore though, occasionally check out fan content (especially nostalgic ones), and identify with the word brony but that's pretty much as far as it goes.

Honestly, 2009 was the last year of old internet.
And you know what else? The decline started in 2006. That's right, I've taken the fucking blackpill. Sure there were some kino things from the late '00s, like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Caramelldansen, but at the end of the day, the amount of 2010s foreshadowing overpowered the good. If there was a way to separate the good from the bad, regardless of time period, then maybe the timeline would be more aesthetically pleasing, but the truth is, the "clownworld" started in 2006, and we hit the point of no return in 2010.
Fuck this world.

I was in 5th grade, doing some morning math or reading activity. I remember a teacher coming in and telling us that we'd always remember this day, and that it was similar to her remembering the day JFK died.

Then I got to go home early and play video games for the rest of the day, since my school was near where one of the planes went down. I remember feeling pretty safe though, since I lived in such a small town. I couldn't imagine ever being a target for anything.

Ironic how it became a term used by people who are pissed off by anything even remotely Japanese.

Bump for visibility

I honestly have never heard of them before this thread, and I don't know how. I was a pretty hardcore weeb from 1998 until 2007 or so and I've been on Yea Forums since 2005, yet I'd never heard of a "yaoi paddle".

It's a con/IRL thing, unless you went to cons around that time of course you wouldn't hear of this shit

I thought me and my gf were pretty far into the size_difference territory but you take the cake, you're 2 inches shorter than me.

If you weren't a fat girl with a Jack Skellington tattoo, an Invader Zim bag, and a Kingdom Hearts shirt, or if you didn't know any such fat girls, it's something you generally wouldn't encounter.
