Why is everyone always idolizing the 90s and 2000s?

I remember those times. Yea there were upsides but i think thats because i was a kid and it doesnt take much to view the world in a magical lens at that age. Other than that I remember being constantly bored back then because entertainment was extremely limited back then, Internet either didnt exist or sucked, games weren't as plentiful or as good, unstoppable globohomo and everyone falling for it, outsides was fun sometimes but you couldnt do that for majority of the day etc.. why do people idolize those mediocre times so much?

IMG_4936.jpg - 823x734, 120.11K

same reason before that it was le ebin 80s. and before that it was the 70s. did you know the 80s was filled with nostalgia for the 60s? and the 70s was stuck with throwbacks to the 50s?
the jew keeps you looking 20 years back so you don't see what he has planned for the next five.

internet existed
we played direct connect tcpip games with friends
every game you have ever played was based off the games we played in that time period
every single one that you think of as a masterpiece, came from that era.
cope and sneed because you missed out on the best time by being a loser

Because its the last thing they can still remember

Things have gotten worse. There is no denying it for anyone that is old enough to remember. So that’s where your 20 years come from.

It was a much better time. It was before hoeflation and social media amplified vanity and narcissism. Most guys could actually get a looksmatched gf back then, and ppl were much more social.

Also video games were better, and weed still being illegal made it fun and edgy.

Because it was great compared to today. Music and games were still doable, the economy was still relatively acceptable and the internet was something you had at home and not in your pocket. It's not ''muh nostalgia'' because I remember the bad things just as well. People were even bigger dicks than they are, mostly because they didn't hide it as much back in the day. And aesthetics and fashion was kinda shit in hindsight. But I'd still prefer it over this hellhole anytime.

you're just getting old bro. If you have a problem with everything being a simulated casino, it's because you're old and out of touch. My dad said the Atari was better than Call of Duty, so it's just the same thing. It's just human nature. It's your dopamine receptors bro.

Did you see what came after ?

The post World War 2 twentieth century in the united states was the best time in the history of mankind. It's not rose colored glasses. It was an affordable monoculture on scale. You could own a house in an all white neighborhood with good schools working at a gas station. Anyone who disagrees is either too young to remember or operating in bad faith

This. The singularity was achieved in the 90s. Everything before that is based on analog data.

Vigeo games were not better and i was a kid in the 90s. Some things felt better for sure but nowadays we have more choice than ever before

You are a liar and a faggot.

Our dopamine receptors are definitely more fried than before due to having access to great entertainment 24/7 but thats an issue with us and our own lack of self control, not necessarily things being worse

You are poortugues do not talk to

everything was better then
even race relations
the most vociferous 35+ nigger loather on Anon Babble probably had a close nigger friend he discussed watching dbz with on his CRT TV

You are a liar and a faggot, but even you can come up with better retorts than that.
Try harder.

Material zenith + era full of hope and wonder > Official age of Gay Nigger Communism

games weren't as plentiful or as good

The highest rated video game in 2025 was released in 1998.
Games had more soul back then and so did movies and tv shows. If you were a middle class kid with cable tv and internet, you were living comfy. When I got bored I rode my bike to he mall and there was a 60% chance I saw my friends there and we hung out there until it closed. We rode bikes all over the place in no trespassing areas and had fun.
It was also very rare to see:

fat people

niggers

mudsharks

tattoos on women (except maybe a butterfly on their ankle)

Yeah have fun paying for 25% of a game and 75% in microtransactions

It was terrible back then
The only films I could watch were awful blockbusters, classics weren't available
Only a tiny % of the classics were available at my local library and they were being steadily thrown away since most people didn't read them
Music was awful in the 90s and early 2000s and there was no escape
The radio was almost always on, if you wanted to listen to classical music only you were out of luck, the only music available was degenerate rock and pop music
Everything has gotten better

Other than that I remember being constantly bored back then because entertainment was extremely limited back then

...kek! ...fucking NPC!

Wtf are you on about? Blacks hated whites back then and it was all about black powah. Blacks being racist wasnt even a concept back then and you could shut down a whole conversation by calling the white person racist. Are we remembering the same timeline? Maybe it was just the state I lived in? Cause i dont remember it being like that

Simple it's when they were kids. I am seeing videos of zoomers idealizing 2010 now

Btw sex and drugs were everywhere
You couldn't escape it at all
The only way you could escape degeneracy was if you were raised in a fundamentalist christian family but then that kind of life is intellectually dead without any real connection with European culture nor history

even race relations

OJ Simpsons trial

LA Race Riots

You have no idea what you are talking about. Those two events alone tell you how much blacks despised us back then

I as offered coke and ecstasy all the time and I just said no. Not a Christian either I just didn't trust myself to not get addicted

why do people idolize those mediocre times so much?

Because they were way better than now, and I am talking even from my shithole.
I was born in the 70s, in the 80s and 90s there were more jobs, things were not so expensive, society was cohesive, things were made with quality, to last.
It was better.

Times were objectively better by far. Many of us could see it coming too, it’s been a mindfuck that’s for sure.

you were just young cope

Convenient globohomo explanation that also ((coincidentally)) leaves out the math which shows we were objectively better off

Yes dude. Thank you. These faggomites are just confusing nostalgia with things being better. Technology has made our lives much better. I can just masturbate at my house, play thousands of games and pick out from gorillion of videos in whatever genre I want, listen to whatever music and call someone a nigger from the other side of the planet in total comfort. Not everything is better but in general its better.

the Germans had a good run in the 30s

2000s internet was amazing. 2000s IRL fucking sucked. 90s were liked since everyone was oblivious to what was happening and saw it as good times (Same for the 80s).

I have family that grew up in a literal war zone and value that time because they were kids. Yes being a kid is a major factor for nostalgia

blacks despised us

They have forever anon, that’s nothing new. What we did have was an 85% White country, which meant the opinions of pockets of extremist niggers could largely be ignored. But jews replaced all of us

Modern games are hot garbage that are shat out in 1 to 2 years tops and are forgotten to time that's how shit they are no one will remember them ever.

This is so evil it wraps around to being respectable. Like, they got away with selling gambling to children.

I have family that grew up in a literal war zone

No you don’t. Youre just a globohomo shill trying to confuse people into thinking its merely nostalgia

The 1990s were objectively the best period in world history.
Certain factions have done their best, and succeeded, at driving us away from what made the '90s great.

We were free back then, without the 24/7 gaze of the whole world on our every move and thought through social media.

So you just prove the point. Everything is always better in the past and gets worse in the future.

Except they werent ignored. Globohomo was rising and there was no opposition to it. White woman were literally more naive about the world than now and white men were viewed as corny and gay. Again youre confusing nostalgia with good times

I agree however what that anon said was complete bullshit. I went to school in NYC in the 90's. NYC was ahead of the curve when it came to the diversity we have now and no I did not have a fun time watching DBZ with niggers. We basically had to survive in school by forming race based gangs. I don't know what prison was like but I can't imagine it was much different than going to a NYC public school in the 80's and 90's. I lost count the amount of times I had a knife pulled on me before I hit 12 years of age. Some puerto rican attempted to murder me because I beat him in Street Fighter once

I really liked late 90s fashion. Suits became gayer after and no one talks about it because of some very slight improvements. Look at any suit now, American, Italian, English, all gay.

remember being constantly bored back then because entertainment was extremely limited

Absolutely a you problem. Did you not have friends or go outside?

Just like trading cards, Pokemon.

Yes I do. Former Yugoslavia. They grew up every day with artillery shelling areas near them and they still look back at that fondly. An issue us millennials can't shake is we think we are the center of the god damn universe and we aren't

Video games were better in the 2000s and the Internet was usable in the early 2000s, unless you were poor as fuck. I had broadband with good speed and I'm from a lower working class family.

Almost as if we've been in decline since the 50s, retard.

Because the world intentionally went to shit after Occupy Wall Street. Not that I was on those clowns' side, but the (((powers that be))) reacted intensely to make everything about
-race
-gender
-sex
instead of who has the most money.

Racism.png - 396x288, 20.53K

Blacks hated whites

Good. Only kikes and cuckolds want to unite Whites with niggers.

There are more games now than back then and more amazing games now than back then. Youd have maybe 1 or 3 great games coming out back then in a genre you might have liked, now its like 30 a year minimum just for one genre. We have hit entertainment singularity where you cant even keep up with all these games, shows and stuff on the internet even if you tried cause it feels endless. This is probably giving you fatigue cause you dont know what to pick

like,

Why do you fucking faggots insist on starting sentences like this? You are belligerently stupid

That is believable. NYC has been a shitskin hell hold for an extremely long time, and it has lots of jews. I didn’t live in NYC back in the day and I never will. I purposely avoid all of that globohomo shitskin stuff

The economy was still very good. The way things are going, it seems like society will collapse. We are going to have a food and housing crisis due to overpopulation.

because back then you could look like him and date a girl like that.

Don't know. RDR 2 is the best game I've ever played. The best musician I follow was dropping albums in 2022. Maybe zoomers view Gen X shit like we viewed hippies and mafia. I don't get why you would wear a Nirvana shirt in 2025. It's cringe. It was cringe then too. Why do gays stick things up their butt? Why do redditors post on Anon Babble? I've accepted there are people who are fucked and always have been. Sorry if you can't find friends or a culture. Also videos of South Americans enjoying 2000's shit music is cringe. Add to your culture or find a new one.

Seethe kike. Things have gotten worse and people are noticing. People in the 50s weren't nostalgic about the depression in fact they complained non stop about having to grow up during it. People experiencing the belle epoch knew they were living in a golden age.

Why is everyone always idolizing the 90s and 2000s?

It was peak America for my generation, Millennials. Everything is literal shit now.

and more amazing games now than back then

The PS2 library alone eclipses the sum of everything that came after it.

non American Canadian thinking his opinion on anything matters

kek

90s and 2000s?

i don't get it either
the 1970's i get: peak music, peak everything

Nah I still don’t believe you. Even if what you say is true, it hardly renders the reality that the 90’s were objectively better false. Just because you might have some family who have positive childhood memories from times in a war zone doesn’t mean we can’t be upset because our economy, culture and demographics have gone to shit by design from our globohomo overlords.

I was a kid in the 90's, but in the early 00's, I sold illegal software and did mescaline with my goth/punk friends (not at a nightclub). It was a different time. A more raw time.

No it doesnt. Games were absolute shit back then. Whenever i go back to play them most have aged horribly. They were mostly shit back then too with crap mechanics. Unplayable. Shooters were also shit and unavailable on consoles mostly

hardly renders the reality that the 90’s were objectively better false

Reading posts by zoomers is a nightmare. I don't understand why you little retards have such a poor grasp of the English language. Christ

Le meme response xD

Not an argument shill faggot

It was all upside all the time.

entertainment was extremely limited back then

Did the library, museums, phone, parks, trails, personal computing, hobbies, concerts, rinks, basketball, compilations, arcades, claymation, board games, cards, film processing, etc. not exist when you were alive?
What's all this bullshit you mention you gloomy fuck? So much was pure chance. Toy and video stores used to never remove old stock, years old stock. You could buy video games and consoles from the grocery store. Spinner racks filled with magazines, peak journalism sports, gaming, computing or otherwise, everyone still knew how to read and write. We traded figures, built, made films, mixed tapes, sparred, strength tests, mystery comic book bundles were everywhere like 60 pc for $20. So much was thoughtfully crated, well designed, full grain leather, rugged jean, thick canvas, built to last, new tech, lush recordings, peak stereo age, I mean I don't understand this view you've conjured up.

I wasn't born then but I'd probably agree with you.
But for me, the best I got to see was a kid in the 80's and 90's. Future was bright, technology wasn't gay yet. When you imagined the future it was optimistic. Now it feels like we're entering the dark ages of technology.

They're dumbasses of course, everyone knows the 80s were the pinnacle of existence.

Were you even sentient when the ps2 launched? Age?

I don't care what you believe you are wrong because you are one of these retarded childish millennials who can't comprehend that your youth played a big part in your nostalgia. I bet you are one of these adult losers that goes to Anon Babble and makes threads saying your games your grew up with are better than zoomers.

worthless Canadian reply again

Don't you have a 1 post by this id troll thread or post to make?

The old fucks got away with selling gambling to kids too - pokemon cards, baseball cards before then, board games are gambling too, you know kids way back then had dice n shit too for real gambling, just with no money. And before then kids were fucked with hard labor - farms and factory jobs on top of getting their dicks chopped off and butt raped by the jews in charge.

Cause back then you can afford a house and car.

Its not that the past was good. Rather we live in literal hell now. Mediocre beats hell.

bitches about grammar and English on Anon Babble to continue to attempt to sow doubt

We’re on to the aporia of the globohomo jew

Ok, retard.

Why are you trying to extrapolate a supposed lived experience of family members you have onto the rest of us? I bet I know why

Still no argument

Nononon goy demographics purchasing power and culture haven't been on an objective decline don't get upset you were just a kid

Lmao

t. born in 199X

Shut the fuck up retard

I remember being bored but it was definitely a different kind of bored back then. I remember where there would be days where me and my friends would just sit in a room and hang out for hours and not actually do anything, just talk. Is it even possible for the younger generation to do something like this? I see kids doing things together but almost all of them have earbuds in or are just staring at their phones the entire time. I go to cafes sometimes to people watch and I'll see kids sit at a table and say literally nothing to one another for 30 minutes straight as they all just look at their phones. It's kind of sad.

33

I am not doing that. I am simply telling you that people in a war zone say they had a good childhood. Zoomers today are gloating about how the 2010's were amazing. I know it's hard to grow old and think you aren't the center of attention but you should try it and accept it.

another useless Canadian post

kek

It's bizarre, isn't it? The only thing keep us asleep was the bread and circuses. It kept us distracted but now everyone is asking questions.

Another deflection

Gig is up schlomo

I can't know how it was because I was born in 2000 but I do know that we have all this entertainment yet it all sucks. It's definitely boring in a different way. Everything just feels fake, like it's pretending to be real when in the past it was real, if you get what I mean.

Because globohomo was still in it's infancy back then so things hadn't gone to complete shit yet.

another useless Canadian post

Like an even better version of '50s suits. Severe, business-oriented, simple.

I have no idea how you could prefer this reality to the pure analog world, writing and receiving cards, splicing, being left alone free to roam, it was amazing in an immeasurable amount of ways. Computing was a thrill back then. I lived in that time for nearly two decades, nostalgia isn't an argument.

Answer this. Is the population less white than it was 30 years ago? Was purchasing power less than it was 30 years go?

You can capitulate and deflect again if you want if you to though.

nostalgia isn't an argument.

it definitely is

another useless Canadian post

People miss Analog CRTs television.

We owned our games, the internet still had soul, and western entertainment hadn't completely devolved into woke corporate brainrot.

Soviet collapse in 1989 led to American supremacy in the 1990s, which continued more or less until 9/11, 2001.
The 2000s, for its part, was about American internet taking over the world. It was a time of creativity and innovation.
But it was also a time of American military excess, and the PATRIOT Act, which transformed American society into a surveillance state.
It was also a time of ignoring realities, like the rise of China. Too busy buying off workers with cheap Chinese junk at Walmart and reaping huge profits off the backs of poor Chinese workers.
All of this began to sour by the mid 2010s, with America's Middle East plots coming undone, leading to chaos, to Muslim migration into Europe, into war in Syria and Ukraine. The US surveillance state is now completely integrated with capitalism, enabling Trump to re-imagine America as a fascist empire. Demographic changes have led to a divided society that is no longer capable of leading itself, much less the world.
And so we wait for war.

911 changed everything.

Back in the 90s you could bone 120 lb 15-year-old girls with impunity. So yeah there was that.

You're smoking crack games now are absolute trash you're gonna try to put modern games against the likes of vagrant story, legend of mana, threads of fate, the legend of dragoon, evil zone, fucking shining force, roll cage, road rash, jet moto, time splitters etc etc the list could go on. Get the fuck out of here you have no clue what you're talking about fuck off nigger faggot you eat the latest triple A goyslop shit it out and eat again and love it.

The post World War 2 twentieth century in Canada was the best time in the history of mankind.

gonna have to go with the above but for the same reasons yo would choose your home country

Nobody's sure as fuck idolizing the 2010s. That was an awful decade.

That pic is a good way to get me to wear the mask instore

We're the same age. I'm too tired to argue with you. We can settle this with 6 other anons in Halo CE via LANned Xboxes

Bruh, Obama did absolutely nothing but keep reinforcing the same military industrial complex shit and push for more foreverwars in the MidEast. Trump is the first president in my lifetime to at least attempt actual diplomacy instead of drone striking American civilians.

Indeed. Literally nobody is going to look back and say it was a good decade. A handful of good things at the start doesn't make it a good decade.

It was an objectively better time. You can measure that in a million ways, stress test and just use common sense. Ownership, business, access, opportunity, chance, communication, ties to the distant past, it was a great time. Everything had soul. The things I used and knew about were robust, detailed, thoughtful and rugged. We're always devolving, technology included.

2011 was kino

That was just part of Pokemon. It never got to the point where people said

Stop making the show and the games, it's distracting kids from buying more cards

Nowadays that's the mentality behind the entire games industry

I remember those times

no you don't. if you did you wouldn't be saying the shit you're saying

It was the best time to be alive then everything went to shit over 9/11. In the US at least. Europoors and Commies like to cry about their shitty living conditions during the 90's. Stop being gay and European, that's all it takes to succeed. You don't have to kill 40 million people for pig iron railroad tracks.

There was momentum for good times until 2010 but it's been clown world to the max since 2012.

chairs worked, stove worked, console worked.
Human rights mostly worked

some vidya were better, but they were insanely expensive relative to today.
youre a coping double nigger

I'll grant that 2011 & 2012 had some decent kino but there's truly nothing beyond.

Happy 13th Anniversary to I Love It. Another huge song that took a huge place in my childhood. The nostalgia is already hitting and I'm only 15. Growing up in the 2010s was a privilege being born in 2008/2009. Calvin Harris's freaking style is great I wish he could go back to this style not saying his popular single Miracle wasn't great. I just miss this old style when most EDM songs sounded like this. 2010-2016 was a great time to be a kid, the music, life, school, and being innocent was great. I'd do anything to get those times back. Calvin Harris, please make songs like this again. I really can't believe this song is really 13 years old. 2012 feels like it was yesterday, what the heck! This was my favorite song May 2012 - June 2012. May 9, 2012 - May 9, 2025.

tldr It's a skill issue my man.

it was the last era before people seriously took consideration of the internet
now everyone is one click away from anything
it made everything, even things like social matters, into a rat race

Ye's new song is the only culture America has seen in over 5 years.

Uhh where was this picture taken lmao?

what is that image from?

I remember when that was on the radio all the time although I wasn't keen on it. If you asked me what the last good song released was I would say it was Get Lucky.

Get_Lucky.jpg - 280x280, 9.62K

It’s worse than 9/11 right now, we just haven’t gone to war yet.

There’s no toy stores, nice department stores with everything, the faces are scary, and there’s more greedy amoral people. The entertainment on tv is worse. TVs and PCs are preloaded with spam. If you name something it’s probably gone or gotten worse.

Everything is shit. Let's be honest most of us just sit in our rooms now the majority of the time because there is nothing to go outside for.

because biden, fauci and the wigger club didnt make the world all about faggets yet back then

What happened?

What happened indeed.

arton1882.jpg - 2000x1200, 267K

The propaganda of 20+ years ago was more insidious and effective. Good propaganda is subtle. So why is the propaganda of today so obvious? Anons like to tell me they've overplayed their hand but I'm not buying it. All the world is a stage and I'm still being led around by the nose.

I think the propaganda also worked better when people were distracted.

why do people idolize those mediocre times so much?

Because it was only plain jane for you.
I tell my son about the stuff I did, and he is floored.

Sorry your time sucked .
Mine was Winning!

I disagree with almost everything you said. I was born in the 89, everything back then was better than it was now. Movies, video games, music, technology, etc. Are you honestly telling you didn't see the noticeable improvement of video games and video quality from the 90s to 2000s? There was a huge shit. We went from 8-bit gaming to 3d environments and actual music used in games. Compare that today from gaming from 2010, there's hardly any improvement. We went from standard 480i to HD in the late 90s. From tapes to DVDs, CDs to iPods etc. Everyone was hopeful for the future because it improved our lives. There wasn't online spying, video surveillance, or smartphone recording to hamper us.

Kids went out more due the fact that we didn't have online shopping and delivery, let alone cellphones for most. When we went, it took effort and we actually had to commute to the mall, malls which don't exist today. Crime rate wasn't as bad, stores didn't have lock everything with a glass or a lock, and the wars back then weren't as terrible. Also, we didn't took in a million immigrants everywhere. The country was still 80% White.

My nieces, nephews and younger cousins don't go out anymore, everything they do is now online, whether that's shopping, watching movies, or even gaming together. The mall I used to go to with my brothers and cousins don't exist anymore, neither does the local film theatres. Affordable housing, bars, movies, local shopping, concerts, clubs, everything I did when I was younger has declined or disappeared altogether for the younger generation.

Btw sex and drugs were everywhere

Compared to today how was it everywhere?

kek, the kid in the blue shirt making a face looks like my brother back then
the kid in the black and green looks like a friend from the neighborhood

2000s was honestly the peak of computing. Isn't it that there hasn't been any advancements in CPU technology since 2011?

Apart from really old people almost everyone of all ages agrees that this time was the peak. It really was that good.

Because 80's nostalgia got tired. The mark 0 was, unironically, the first Capitan Marvel (Marvel) movie

You can do that now. What's so special about doing that in the 90s compared to younger men doing that now?

You can do that now

no you can't faggot

why would you even want to mess with fifteen year olds?

board games are gambling too

no the fuck they arent you puritan

Its as if shit has been getting worse all along and people have known this overtly or not.

However to your point, it's important to stay positive about your current period of time and cards you were dealt because 20yrs from now, there will be people yearning to the more "simple" time of the past that is right now. Despite how zogged and clownish it is, it's still better than what's to come

Hey that's not my thing but I believe pussy in general was easier to get back then.

The 70s and 80s were far better. No Domestic Violence laws, and Child Support was $20 a week (before they passed the draconian laws). Women were women and men were men. No LGBTQ, being gay was shameful, etc.

5th generation was actually the first Dark Age of gaming, at least for home consoles (PC Gaming was in high octane). See the amount of 16bit gaming that are still enjoyable today comparing with PSX/N64 counterparts.

Yugoslavia had their own manufacturing base.
They had their own cars.
They were highly educated.
Healthcare was good and available.
They still have a robust public transportation system.
They had collectives for farmers so that they could get a fair price for their produce.
Even during wartime I would guarantee that they were better off than now.
Ostatio u Srbija za jedan godin. Sad, nea pricam mnogo. Bio sam tamo 2016 do 2017.

But now people are noticing. Back then the country was far more homogenous. Now? They can't hide the swarms of brown faces.

my mom never stops talking about nostalgia and when she was cool in high school and I just see her as pathetic cause she was a bitch then and she is now and she no longer actually does anything

70s

Back when neighborhoods were still 99% white and not filled with illegals and blacks. You didn't need to lock your front door if you went out.

People were dicks

I still don't understand why Get Lucky blew up, it's one of Daft Punk's weaker tracks desu.

Why is everyone always idolizing the 90s and 2000s?

THEY HAD SHIT LIKE THIS

I'd say mostly because of Nile Rogers' involvement. Helps that it came out the time it did when there hadn't been anything like it for a long time.

Blacks that associated with whites back then were either mixed and raised by a white parent or were socially rejected by the black community (for being a nerd, gay, some other reason.) It's still this way to one extent or another.

From 2008 to 2010 I effortlessly got attention from women and was blowing my girlfriends back out multiple times a week. Imagine getting pussy with no consequences and driving around in a BMW and not paying taxes. My life has been fucking shit since college, by comparison.

We've made progress; the racism card does not have much impact anymore.

Sounds like you had it too good and you're balancing out

I also forgot to mention that when you met someone at a party, concert, library, gym, bar, cafe etc. any public setting where people used to engage in social interaction, even if you were talking to a total stranger, people didn't think it was weird back then when you tell them that's how you met new people, how you met friend or your boyfriend/girlfriend at some movie theatre or concert.

Now? People honestly thinks it's weird that you would strike up a conversation with a stranger, even if you were at a bar, club, or gym or social event. It's honestly bizarre to me, because how the hell do younger generations meet new people if you discourage others from socially interacting with you in public places. And they wonder why they're so alone?

How was she a bitch and how does she no longer do anything?

How?

Limited internet

No smart phones

Computers were a nerd thing

People went outside their doors to meet others

Fun with friends in real life and not behind a monitor or your phone

I miss those days like you wouldn't believe bros.
Smart phones was a mistake!

Hollywood peaked in the late 90s to late 2000s. It was high production value without being faggy.

it's just people's brains being fooled by the passage of time. any era we didn't actually live through, we just make up something in our heads to try to guess what it was like. previous eras that we did live through seem better because we were younger and dumber. shit isn't really getting worse. we are all just becoming smarter and harder to impress as we age. 20's and early 30's everything seems like it is going to shit. eventually you see through the mirage and come to terms with it by finding different ways to get satisfaction out of life. it's okay. everything is fine. 'back in the day' wasn't really that great. it all has to do with what is happening in your personal life more than some pop culture notion of what some decade was like.

the only good thing that is still relevant and worth remembering is the clothes and music everything else was way shittier. has anyone actually played a n64 since? goldeneye sucks a cock now fuck that controller and how you cant even aim right

I can still come back to over half the games on this list and have fun. Wouldn't be able to say the same of a list of 2024 games.

I was a kid at the time but even so, adults were waaaay different. Everyone was nicer and less malicious. I didn't grow around a lot of blacks, but even they weren't niggerish at all. They were normal. Family events were something to look forward to. Now everyone is backstabbing for shit reasons or politics. I don't know what happened. Today it feels like we're on a different planet.

this world is shit and a prison
i have always had a shit life but i was sorta happy till like 2006 or 2007
fuck the global homo athiestic liberalism of the 2000s

Those of us actually old enough to remember the 90s remember how the world, but specifically the US, changed after 9/11. There was a certain carefree innocence to the country before then that has been completely lost and forgotten post 9/11. I can't overstate how much it changed that psyche of the nation, obviously for the worst. That's why I think those times are looked so fondly upon.

yeah except it was given on purpose to lead to this
they wanted people to look the other way
shame on my ancestors for letting it happen.

It sucks now. It's too overcrowded with useless people just consuming.

Your ancestors are ashamed of you. Everything they fought for, every reason they suffered and endured, they now know was a mistake.

The Internet made globohomo monoculture possible. Before the Internet you had regional culture. You had societal pressure to enforce morals. Now you’re one of 8 billion always-connected interchangeable, infinitely replaceable people. You aren’t but that’s what people think.

The only advances in technology now are new ways to enslave and demoralize us.

high effort games produced for the art by high IQ White men are better than microtransaction phone slop produced by chinks and jeets

Objectively yes

Wrong even older folks back then knew the 90s to 2010 or so we're the shit and less gay. Technology was at a goldilocks zone almost. It's great we have fast af pocket PCs called smartphones and home PCs that double as advanced media creation centers among other things but everything else is kind of fucked like shitty music. There's good stuff out there but I should be able to cringe less whenever I hear whatever is on radio. Things are still great in short abrupt spans here and there but there was more cohesive enjoyment in society back then. Movies have been sabotaged by china among many other things, and society is very splintered. There's so much out there and it's rare for something to be so big and cool people from all walks of life can talk about it. That itself used to be more common. Its weird I'd expect that to bring families closer but people problems will always be a thing and for some reason the family problems issue seems worse. It could be because of politics and leftism preying on teen's emotions. And woke shit started sprouting around 2010 to break up occupy wall street momentum and it worked, then more internet controls started, more woke shit, COVID, more woke shit, inflation, and still more woke shit.

Didn't read your post, only read the subject. Because they were much better than today and you sound like a soulless zoomer faggot seething in resentment. It's not my problem that you'll never be happy and that you get physically upset when you see other people happy.

Disagree. Everything was better back then with the exception of technology. And even with certain technology, some things built back then mog things made today due to better craftsmanship. The Obama second term was a hard freefall collapse of culture. It brought in gays, trannies, annihilated racial harmony, brought in online censorship of political opinions. The Internet and apps were also not completely filled to the brim with scammers and Indians trying to fraud you at every possible instance. Also no Onlyfans moral decay. The social trust back then before Obama second term was much higher than it is today. If you really want to trace it, Bill O'Reilly really changed things culturally with his extremely divisive rhetoric regarding the Iraq War. Like you were unAmerican if you disagreed with him, a morally bad person who deserves to be ostracized. The leftist tranny mods took that kind of spirit and applied to to conservatives online. Of course the all the war on terror stuff was traced back to 9/11. So 9/11 was the demarcation point, it set off chain reactions which ended up to be very damaging, then it crystallized during Obama second term.

This. Every modern game is just an old game with better graphics and constant microtransactions that render it unplayable.

graduated hs in 2007 and college in 2011. My youth feels like a dream land compared to what the kids have to deal with these days. Being a millenial who got to be a teen in the 2000s was such a blessing and so much fun. I feel so bad for kids these days. My kids are still small so I hope things get back to normal soon. Their only screen is and will be the TV. NO PHONES OR TABLETS.

we're the same age. really resent the smart phone fucking up society. didn't have to be this way

you were unAmerican if you disagreed with him, a morally bad person who deserves to be ostracized

This is the one thing that's better now than in the early 2000's. Being against the war was being against America. Nobody was allowed to question the incubator babies/WMD hoaxes. Saying something like "jews did 9/11" or "fuck israel" was beyond the pale. Calling someone a nazi/racist was a serious insult. Questioning the holocaust was extremely fringe with a lot less revisionist material out there. There were no memes about wooden doors because this info wasn't out there yet. Besides the prophets in the wilderness like Dr. William Pierce (rip) there was no equivalent to todays racist gamerwaffen.

Yeah smart phones are really an addictive technology. We used to give our youngest the phone sometimes to facetime with relatives, but they would hold onto the phone like a crack addict. I didn't have my first cellphone until I was almost 18 and I didn't have a smartphone until I was in my mid 20s. I love tech and I have the latest iPhone but I treat it like a vice and not something to be prized if that makes sense. I mainly use it to listen to music and take pics/vids. Thank you for reading my blog post.

With the Internet, the globohomo globalists gained full control over our minds. a human is laughably easy to control and manipulate, especially via his most basic needs: sex, food, dopamine

Meaningful relationships got replaced by porn and one-night stands, food around the family table got replaced by ordering cheap slop to eat alone at home, and having a meaning and purpose in life (dopamine) got replaced by shorts, YouTube, and other forms of endless content like video games that also now try to suck you dry of every last penny.

You're a consumer slave and don't even know it. We all are, and those who know, those who want to escape, can't, because it's a prison slowly built over decades into our brains by them. Now we are our own prison wards, addicted to what they gave us to not escape from the cave of mindless hedonism. If you dare to question or realize how bad it is, you get put on meds that numb you so you can be a good little goy and keep consuming for a few decades until you kill yourself because you can't cope anymore.

This is the fate your grandparents chose when they fought the Nazis.

See how you most likely only read this post because I posted a sexy AI picture of Frieren? You're not immune.

There have, just nothing as really groundbreaking as the introduction of AVX.
we got AVX512 in 2020, but most agree hardware doesn't benefit from it as much as compared to previous iterations.
Biggest leaps in computing have been in parallelization and the advent of AI

What a faggy thing to think.
The last 100 rug pulls should've smartened you up.
I lived like a real human with deep ties to times before my own. The 20th century was objectively better in every way including technology and innovation.

These fucking retards still believe the internet is the World Wide Web. The internet for them did not exist before it's creation.

The first half of the 00s felt like the 90s enough, but it was the3 beginning of the end. Around 2008 was when everything started to feel pozzed.

Because society hadn't gone so insane yet.
2000s in particular also had the perfect balance of internet accessibility which resulted in what was arguably its golden age. Entry barrier wasn't too high since anyone who knew what they were doing could get a home PC connected, entry barrier wasn't too low since smartphones weren't a thing yet, and most importantly very little of the third world was online.

Who idolizes the 2000s? 80s and 90s were the best.

Cheaper and no retarded DLC and microtransaction schemes for brain dead zoomers
Go back to TikTok

you're welcome. i deeply miss the before times mate

Sensible parenting? On Anon Babble?

It was the beginning of the Jewish NWO globohomo, but yeah I agree. 1950s-2000 was best time to be alive on earth. Of course a shirt decade of national socialism was the best isolated shirt time period and place to be, but that would get ruined by Jews

almost nonexistent niggers

almost nonexistent muslims

almost nonexistent trannies

almost nonexistent climate nuts

and still there were all good things faggots think there weren't like internet, it was the good times

It was a bitch when all you wanted to do was ride your bike and it was pissing rain outside. Yeah, you had Mario Paint, or Mario 3 on the SNES, but you really wanted to go to the trails and try out all the gears on your bike. (fixies were for poor people)

How do you know it wasn't some arbitrary interstitial agrarian period? Plant crops, pork your wives, harvest crops, raise kids, die. Sounds comfy

Internet either didnt exist or sucked

it did exist and was better

games weren't as plentiful or as good

zero new games have been made after 2009 just recycling

unstoppable globohomo and everyone falling for it

it didn't have power because females didn't go internet or read papers

outsides was fun sometimes but you couldnt do that for majority of the day etc..

literally been out for for weeks just drink and smoke

Because it WAS better. Sure, it was not a magical time frame like some people pretend but the world was generally in a better place.

The USSR was dead. There was no major wars in decades. Tech seemed like it was gonna make everything better. China was our manufacturing hub. Cars/appliances/toys/clothes/things were built to last, not built with planned obsolescence in mind. There were good middle class jobs that were not outsourced nor did they import thousands of jeets/chinks every year on H1B visas to take those jobs. People were able to afford to at least rent a home and comfortable take a vacation every summer. Every other house was not owned by a Real Estate firm who demand insane prices nor were whole blocks owned by one guy who solely uses them as AirBnBs. Race issues while not solved, were NO where as bad as they are now. Even niggers were better people back then.

It was never gonna last, but there was a genuine optimism of the time that we lost in a post 2008 world.

go back to tiktok

For telling you that the WWW isn't the internet?

that part about games

The golden era of gaming was the late 90s - early 2000s, with the rest of the two decades still having too many classics

9/11 wasn't shit. Only npcs think like that. It was bad but what it actually did was strengthen the anti establishment spirit making people question our government and reality. A lot of things were off and the government's lies we're standing out and then people started researching more which is what a lot here still do. Even more people every generation understand government is usually up to something and the idea of conspiracy theory keeps losing it's negative connotation. The phrase "9/11 was an inside job" likely seems plausible to gen z and alpha. The government is shady and retarded but more importantly, they're full of hubris and their mistakes show. They fucked up big time with 9/11.

being a racist was considered a personality quirk, not a news worthy crime

minorities weren't so complainy, or at least no one gave them a soap box

there was just the right amount of tech

The Internet is a computer network, the apps and gay shit you do are still part of the "www" basically and that distinction is semantic at best, you sound like you learned about computers and the Internet in a halfassed class taught by a black woman and on social media. People are not the Internet, it's the technologies and culture surrounding them. Yes it facilitates anything but it was objectively better when people like you weren't on it.

The best thing for humanity would be for smartphones and tablets to disappear. The problem is 100% dumbfucks on phones who would barely be online without them. Eternal September was nothing compared to this.

being a racist was considered a personality quirk, not a news worthy crime

This must seem unimaginable to anyone under about 25

no social media
no mass communication or news aggregation
no video streaming
no delivery apps
even if something was shit you either didnt know it was shit because no one else was around to tell you or influence your opinion of it or you did know it was shit but didnt really have anything to compare it to so it felt less shit overall.
if you wanted something, generally you had to go out and socialize
meaning society could self correct rotten culture trends.
even ugly incels would find ugly whales and start a family with them

simpler things in life had a greater impact on you.
you didnt have a constant dopamine injection into your brain.

even nerds and weirdos would have to go to arcades or game stores to get what they want.
today they can live almost their entire lives inside.

cheaper

jesus christ youre a fucking zoomer or were a trust fund kid.
they were absolutely more expensive than today, just shut the fuck up already

You are legit retarded and/or have not been alive for as long as this site has been up.

kill yourself. i was already gaming when you were still spinning your flagellar motor and have been here since 04.
$60 way back when was a lot of money for a single game with no modernized add-ons like dlc.

nostalgia for their youth, also despite those periods being shit they still where slightly less bad then today since they where slightly less in the decline and degeneration then today

do you really not understand inflation, and the implications of spending the same amount of money for a game today as i did 30 years ago?
calling me young when you struggle with algebra? jesus fucking christmas youre the genuine mouth breather here.

The 2000s fucking suck!!!!! The only good thing about the 2000s were movies and tv shows and maybe gaming.

9/11 pretty much ended the "golden era" being referred to overnight. americans went from happy to scared.

There was less wealth disparity and no social media.
