GTA: Vice City was released in 2002 and set in 1986. It is now 2018.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Yeah I copied this but jfc, we old as fuck now.

In 2002 the 80s seemed forever ago, but now 2002 was just yesterday

[paprikastaude]

HD games all turning 10 years already.

[Cerveza mas fina]

not if you are a nintendo fan

[Great Rumbler]

Nobody looks back fondly on 2002. Or the 00's in general, really.

[Sho Nuff]

I couldn't even tell you what a 2000's game would even look like. 80s and 90s have real definitive style, 2000's were just uh...The Matrix and less bad web design

PS2/GCN/XB/DC gen was the best of them all.

[thisismyusername]

Besides which, the Matrix came out in 1999. PS2 in like 2000 in the US. DC in 1999. X-box and Gamecube 2002.

[chronovore]

Lager, heads-up: You are never going to feel less old. Right now is the youngest you'll feel from here on out.

Embrace it.

(sending hugs)

[Joe Molotov]

Speaking of the Dreamcast, I was in a retro game store the other day and I heard the clerk telling a guy that the reason why the DC failed is because Sega wouldn't let companies make games for it. I just though "Yep, this sounds like some shit that Sega fans would believe." 3rd Parties were lining up to release games for the DC, but Sega just wouldn't let them.

Dat style

[Sho Nuff]

Ahhh okay it's all coming back now. Pee yellow/green color filters on everything, angry music. THAT'S the 00's style.

Also yes, with PS2/GC/XB it was a fucking glorious time to be alive.

The "iPod" aesthetic - white or sharp vivid primary colors, rounded corners, minimalist to a fault.

"Feel The Magic" for DS is a good example:

Wait, WTF is the left version. GTA3 PS2?

Sourced it: Apparently Enter the Matrix's PC port for Low. WTF Shiny?

[Himu]

No. That's either The Getaway or Enter The Matrix. There isn't a single cutscene shot in GTA3 from that angle and no car with tires like that.

[Himu]

Yup. I called it. Enter the Matrix.

I have nostalgia for 2002. I mean, I was a teenager. I was 16 in 2001.

True

Heh me too. And I'm still just as useless and lame as I was back then

Only fashion item I can think of the from the 2000s was Big Johnson T-shirts. And run with the Big Dog.

Those might have been 90s though.

Maybe also corduroy, rugby shirts, and velour track suits.

G-Unit, Marc Ecko (you know, the rhino), Sean Jean, Phat Farm, Rocawear, Apple Bottoms, Hollister, L.E.I.

[Joe Molotov]

Big Johnson tees were definitely 90's. If you were sporting a BJ shirt in the 00's, something was going on in your home life.

[paprikastaude]

What will be remembered from the current period, considering nostalgia bait for earlier shit like the 80s is in full force for entertainment media?  I guess undercuts will be easy to make fun of in the future though.

when do ed hardy shirts come back in style

One thing that strikes me about this list is how boring fashion was in the 2000’s. Like there’s no really weird out there shit that makes it instantly recognizable.

Those brands are mostly semi-defunct and less popular, but the clothes themselves aren’t really offensively screaming “2003” like 80s neon leg warmers and side ponies do. Sure the fits were incredibly baggy, but I still see people that wearing baggy jeans today.

Edit; some of the hairstyles though...

Fashion crawled to a halt after 9/11. 2000's were more mostly 90's fashion plus. These days have a much more defined fashion identity even when trying to go "retro".

[Cerveza mas fina]

We recognize the 80's as more iconic because the media distilled them for us in their output. MOST of us here were not "conscious" back then like we were in the 90's and 00's (sure I remember things from the 80s but I was born in them already so not the same as experiencing the 00's as an adult).

-House and electronic music got HUGE in the 90's and 00's for one
-No smartphones, no social media
-Budding internet still until later half of 00's
-Reality TV hitting its prime
-Post communist and pre war on terror end of history period
-Millennium bug
-Nu-metal

[Great Rumbler]

I feel like most of the 00's will end up being largely forgotten, and what isn't forgotten will get rolled back into the 90's [2000-2001] or pulled forward into the 10's [2008-2009].

[Himu]

The main thing to take from the 00's

[Trent Dole]

[Great Rumbler]

This is the 00's:

[tiesto]

I posted something similar on FuckJerry, but I've been thinking a lot about this... since I joked "what would I do if I threw an '00's party as a followup to the '90's party I threw a few years ago":

The 2000's:
-9/11 and an increased patriotism in America
-Tacky, campy 9/11 propaganda (the crying eagle, country music like "God Bless The USA")
-War, war, war. The "War on Terror". War in our games, war in our movies.
-Hip-hop hits its peak in the early part of the decade, everyone you know is listening to Juvenile and Ludacris, even the goody two shoes white girl down the street
-Hipsters
-The Exurbs
-Minimal Techno
-Minimal aesthetic, curvy white and bright primary colors being the popular look for electronics and interior design
-Guidos becoming mainstream, blowout haircuts, Ed Hardy shirts, Affliction shirts
-Lots of shirts with skulls and fleur-de-lis on them
-Poker (especially Texas Hold Em)
-MMA becoming huge
-Thick-rimmed rectangular glasses
-America loses some of its spotlight to BRIC and developing nations
-Globalism becomes much more popular, along with musicians mining obscure regional sounds (see: Diplo and Pitbull)

The 2010's:
-Electronic Dance Music FINALLY becomes huge in America
-Rap seems to be much less popular
-A new wave of feminism, politically correctness, civil rights, and a backlash to this
-Internet culture/meme culture hits mainstream
-Rustic "farmhouse" look becoming popular for interior design - exposed brick walls, found objects made into tables, 'restoration furniture'
-Manbuns
-Nationalism as a counter to globalism
-Nerd culture becoming mainstream (comic book movies, cons, anime, esports, gaming, memes, even D&D to a lesser extent)
-White gentrification of the city while the suburbs diversify
