Why do people say the 2000s were "the good times" when they were already pozzed compared to 90s? 2000s had 9/11, Israel wars, financial crises, "made in China" outsourcing, neoliberalism/neocons, SUVs, blingshit pop wiggerdom (50 Cent), ProTools mallcore buttrock, "reality TV" degeneracy, Walmart, McDonald's, chemtrails, fluoride, trucker hats, popped collars, GMOs, American Idol, women tattooing logos on their asses, etc.

nostalgia, or carefree youth. In general looking back is always easier, as you know everything didn't end terrible. 70s and 80s most likely have been shit, but looking back it seems nice and much better as no WW3 happen, no nuclear holocaust, you didn't get AIDS from shaking hands and so on. You remove all the negatives and all seems fine.

the Internet was better and everyone posting here lives on the Internet

something awful and fark and ain't it cool news and all that shit owned compared to the 90s and today. the early years of the broadband Internet were the best.

also world of Warcraft. in terms of pure life wasting there will never be another game as good as the first two years of that

that's it, that's the reality, it's mostly entertainment. if games and movies now were as good as the 2000s no one would think Trump was even that bad or be mad at Israel. everyone's just pissed because shit sucks now and there's nothing fun

Just look forward to a Murrican carrier or two being sunk. We are coming into a golden age.

the 80s had most of those things as well, or things that were precursors to things of the near future, and the 70s, and the 60s, etc.

Every generation has its gay boy bands and economic crisis and times of war and major environmental disaster etc.

But honestly as someone born in the 80s and growing up in the 90s/early 2000s - yes it was absolutely better back then.

Mostly because the internet was still just a thing that was limited to the library or the living room at a giant desktop computer, it hadn't yet given everyone brain damage from doomscrolling their own retarded identity politics and people didn't carry surveillance cameras in their pockets like with cell phones. Back then you could have sex in public or cry and shit your pants in school without it turning into an epic meme for thousands of people.
Physical media was king, no one was worrying about if and when their favorite quiblee show would get ported to the puiblee app instead for another 15$ a month extra or episodes being censored or pulled from streaming etc.
It was never a concern that your entire life savings and entire identity would be stolen in the blink of an eye because you accidentally clicked on a funny link when blindly touching your phone first thing in the morning.
Everything from movies and pop music and pro wrestling had a constant edginess and teenage angst to them.

also everyone was nowhere near as fat. these days doesn't matter if you're some incel red pill racist or a woke they/them girl with blue hair - everyone is fat and gross.

I get the 90s being part of the better times, but the 2000s cranked up so much of the degeneracy leading to now

the degeneracy cranked up way more 1990-99 than it did 2000-2009
