>pc gaming barely taking off
>2005 video game graphics. no fidelity skin pores for you
>barely accessible internet. you wanted it, you went to a cafe (japan still does this but only because it's a way of socialising for a country of introverted nerds)
>youtube in its infancy, not the monolithical entertainment giant it is today. back then it really was just randos vlogging
>social media in its infancy (This was a good thing)
>online gaming barely supported. couch co-op was the norm
>no smart tvs. no recording shows for you so you can fast forward ads
>no netflix either
>barely any online shopping. Amazon was still a small retailer back then

>RnB was still around(this is a good thing)
>Metal was not as around(this is bad thing)
