>the 2000s was generally the edge era. It was a great time to be rebelious
we kind of got fucked here because growing up during this time where this was normalized:
A: gave us a taste for things that would vanish
B:made it super hard to accept how lame things/people would be in the future
C:gave us the impression things would be fun forever if they are now
everything is as safe bland and non offensive as possible today. not just media (including games movies magazines commercials music etc) but just the entire culture of today is such apolar opposite of not doing anything that could even feasibly raise an eyebrow from someone. we basically live in bizarro land. a time traveler from the early 2000s would think people today are fucking weird.

the most important thing for you to understand is that nothing back then was labeled cringe. people might say something is gay or retarded but if you did something or made something it was genuine. people did not do things ironically. people were not overly self aware back then like they are today. its just a change that has permeating every aspect of our culture not just online but offline. you cant really be yourself today 100% if you know at all times everyone withing 50 feet of you has a HD recording device in your pocket if you do or say anything someone can think is "cringe" or "weird". i actually feel because of this like we live in a fucking dystopian future and even if you or I dont care our friends in person do so they are lame to be around and go places with so it effects everything.
