There is already a thread of the early 2000's. The Mid-00`s are getting very nostalgic and there are many memorable moments from that era. What did you guys think of the Mid-2000's?

The Mid-00`s are getting very nostalgic


Not yet. I think around 2016/17 we can talk about it again. They still feel quite modern to me, unlike the early 00s.

I think so, I would wait a couple of more years.

I don't even think the 90s are nostalgic yet. Wait 20 more years at least for the 2000s to be nostalgic .

I don't even think the 90s are nostalgic yet.


If you were just in your single-digits back then you'd think differently about that. It's not that 20 years are nothing.
1990-95 feels quite nostalgic to me...and I feel some teenage nostalgia for 99-04 (esp. 2000 and 01). However 2005 and later is more or less like today (when it comes to 'old school' feelings).

It seems that age matters a lot, so on the other hand I can understand that Slim95 wants to talk about the mid 00s...

I kinda miss reggaeton fad in the mid 00s, even though i can't even speak spanish.  ;D

Yup, generation gap for sure. That's why Slim is nostalgic for the mid 00s.

That's why you responded with

And that's why I responded as I did. Slim has a right to his opinion, you do to yours, and I do to mine.  :)

Yeah, but the difference is that the mid 2000s are really not that long ago today, unlike the early 90s I feel nostalgic about ;)

But finally, I agree with you!

The Mid 2000's feel a long time ago to me because I was verry little then.  :P

Makes sense to me.  :)

By then the 80's will be nostalgic.

The Mid-2000's were my favorite part of the decade, at least 2004 and 2005. I didn't care for 2006 though.

By then the 80's will be nostalgic.


'nostalgia' is actually very subjective I think...

'retro' is something totally different.

For example I feel nostalgia for 1999-2004 but it's nowhere near being 'retro'.

There's not really anything remarkable about the mid 2000s for me. I was in junior high and going through my angsty phase.

I don't even think the 90s are nostalgic yet. Wait 20 more years at least for the 2000s to be nostalgic .


I guess if you're 50, being in your 30s isn't going to really feel like the old days.

I'm not nostalgic for the mid 00s but I do think they're different from today. The economic downfall and rise of social networking changed pop culture a lot and created a generation gap between the people who grew up in the 90s and early 00s (and for people born pre-85 or so, the late 80s as well) and the people who are still growing up. I'd say the boundary of these two generations is somewhere around 1993-94.

I guess if you're 50, being in your 30s isn't going to really feel like the old days.


more like nostalgia.

This stuff is 'dated', but not 'classic' at all.

This stuff is 'dated', but not 'classic' at all.


It is dated, but it has its own era about it, I think this mainly due to how fast things have changed since late 2006 to now

Also its the last carefree era  to have been carefree  (  no economic problems etc)

I miss 2003-2005 not 2006 as much though and I'm 25, I wouldn't call it "classic" yet but I miss it...I was a teen and in high school. I really liked right around late 04 and early 05, right around the middle of the decade. I do miss then.

Maybe the mid 00s were more laidback then we think hahaha
I am not saying the mid 00s were amazing with rose colored glasses  but it def had this like  misty haze to it lol

That's pretty much how I feel. I graduated from high school in 2005, so I'm actually starting to develop quite a bit of nostalgia for the late '04/early '05 time period, which covered the span of my senior year. My life has gotten alot more complicated over the last 8 years, so I think it's probably natural for me to be getting all nostalgic for the more carefree days of "yore". Having said that,  I definitely don't see that period as "retro" (or even "old" for that matter).


The Mid 2000's feel a long time ago to me because I was verry little then.  :P


That makes total sense to me because I was basically you ten years ago. It was around 2002/2003 that I first started to feel the slightest traces of nostalgia for the 90's. I think that today's rapid pop culture changes, combined with the ever increasing pressure of high school life, have made it very common for teenagers to start legitimately missing the culture and feel of their childhood years sooner than may have been the norm in the past.

The mid 00s are classic    There is no argument about it


I would agree with you.

This stuff is 'dated', but not 'classic' at all.


exactly it doesn't have that nostalgic feel.

now they just call it fashion pajamas. ::)

Were you really born in 1988? Because I was born over a year after 1988 was over and none of the 00s or even late 90s have a 'misty haze' to me.  ;D

The only years I can remember that seem somewhat 'hazy' are the years from 1992 to 1996. Maybe '97 and early '98 a little bit.

I was Born in 1988

It's starting to get slightly dated, but it's not "classic" imo.  I'd say at least 10 years have to pass before something is considered "classic" in any way.

Well it is 10 years from 2003 this coming year which is considered the mid-00's.

True, and I can see some things from 03 starting to feel "classic" soon.  But as a whole, I wouldn't consider the mid 00s classic until at least the mid point of this decade, but that's my opinion.

I dunno i would say its has its own unique feel regardless of age .....that classic factor is creeping uppppppp lol

We would have to wait until 2022.

2005 seems like a lifetime ago for me, It feels a very long time ago. I think 2006 is the year things started to become more like today especially when Facebook came out.

That's how 1996 felt for me in 2003...Two different worlds. I can clearly imagine what you are thinking!

Its weird tho  I feel like from the distance between late 2006 to 2008 seems  like a bigger gap than like 2010 to 2012
most of this has to do with the culture changing so much between late 06 and all of 07 and the 2cnd half of 2008.
Small case in point  I think a big reason it feels like ages is because of that gap between 06-08

2006-2008 were weird because it was like a strange transition to the big cultural change that really occurred in 2008.

It really was  & it went into a straight line of events  from late 2006 onward. There is ppl who say  2007 and 2008 felt the same

But it clearly did not feel like the previous years. I think that time period had the most pop culture changes of any decade  besides the 60s.

I agree

I would consider the 21st century in general to be a time of rapid changes. Even EARLY 2010 has elements that are lingering in the realms of datedness.

and also Youtube started in 2005, almost 8 years ago.


Wow! Crazy to think Youtube is almost 10 years old. I keep forgetting that it debuted when I started high school considering that I didn't start using it religiously til '06/'07.

For the record, I don't consider the mid-2000s retro or classic yet. I do find some elements of it dated now (for example, the cellphones). I'm also not feeling fully nostalgic for the mid-2000s yet though I am starting to miss some of the 2003-2005 era (but mainly 2003) in terms of music I liked listening to back then. Not missing 2005-2006 yet in terms of pop culture though I do have some fave memories from my personal life back then. I don't think I'll truly find the mid-2000s nostalgic as a whole until the late 2010s/early 2020s.

2005 seems like a lifetime ago for me, It feels a very long time ago. I think 2006 is the year things started to become more like today especially when Facebook came out.


It has been mentioned many times in this forum that 2006 was the year that everything changed, like music (more dancepop and less hip-hop), technology (blu-ray and the defunct HD-DVD), and fashion (more classy dressed up look and less boho-chic, more girls wearing pantyhose/tights with dresses/skirts). Now with Facebook, even though it came out in 2006 it didn't get popular until late 2007/2008. In 2005 and 2006 MySpace was a lot more popular.

So do you think 2005 goes more with 2000-2004 than 2006-2009? For me that year can be split in half, with the earlier half being more like 2003-2004 (more hip-hop/glam rap dominated), while the later half is more like 2006-2008 (less glam rap and more snap/ringtone rap, dance, electronica, and emo). Also as mentioned YouTube was released in 2005, and the Xbox 360, the first of that generation of consoles. Also in 2005 there was a decline in reality shows and a return to sitcoms, as well as shows like Lost (2004) that gained popularity.

I know right? It seems like yesterday that youtube debuted and I've had my own jamminoldies channel on there for almost 7 years now.

I definitely think 2005 was a 'watershed' year, yes. Winter, spring and summer of 2005 still felt like the early 2000s and had a lot of similarities to the second half of the 90s. Fall of 2005 felt like the part of the 00s afterwards and has some similarities to the current decade.

Ranking the mid-2000s years as I see them today:

1. 2004
2. 2003
3. 2005
4. 2006

But all of those years were good.

I'll never understand why people think the '00s or even today were so similar to the '90s.

Technology wise, CD player vs. iPod is a pretty significant difference. Computing and internet use came a long way between the two decades as well.

Politically, pre-9/11 and Clinton vs. post-9/11 and Bush. Two different worlds.

Fashion in the '90s was distinct from the '00s too, I think. Overalls, flannel shirts, sweaters, certain hairstyles like the bowl cut and the Rachel cut in the '90s...more preppy looks in the '00s.

Musically, they may be more similar than any other two decades, but still a lot of clear differences as well.

2004 and 2005 are not in the same era as the '90s, at least to me.

And I actually just realized no one was comparing it to the '90s in this thread particularly, but I have seen it noted on this site.

I agree. They are very different from each other. Even 2002 and 2003 don't feel like the same era as the 90's. I think more older people like putting them together cause all they care about is the 80's.  :P

What makes it worse is that a lot of 13 year olds today would be out of their depth with technology like cassette tape walkmans which were quite common in the 90s.


The reason why the 90s get lumped together with the mid 00s  is because it had the same same kind of atmosphere as 1999

CD players were very common in the early 00s, more common than MP3 players. AIM and chatrooms were used most and there wasn't really social networking. TVs were not HD and most people did not have digital cable. VHS was normal in 2000-2003.

There are going to be obvious similarities between the late '90s and early '00s, as would be the case at the border of any two contingent decades. However, the '00s didn't end in '03. Comparing the mid or "core" '90s with the core '00s, they were were distinct from each other.

What makes it worse is that a lot of 13 year olds today would be out of their depth with technology like cassette tape walkmans which were quite common in the 90s.


It faded out in the 90's.

By then the 80's will be nostalgic.
The 80 are already nostalgic!

The reason why the 90s get lumped together with the mid 00s  is because it had the same same kind of atmosphere as 1999
There is a split there with January of 2003 and maybe March of 2003 though mainly because of 50 Cent's album "Get Rich Or Die Tryin" that blew the 00's glam rap era up.

It really was  & it went into a straight line of events  from late 2006 onward. There is ppl who say  2007 and 2008 felt the same

Wow you think the late 00's think had more changes in pop culture than the 60's? I never thought of that. I thought the 1988-1992 period had alot of changes with grunge, house music, and gangsta rap popping up.

yeah it did,  late 80s had a lot of changes as well tho, but back on topic  The mids ended in  late 2006  when ps3 and wii came out    but the feeling lingerd on till like march of 2007. The mids had alot of bads tho, alot of the snap rap was zombie like.

I'd say that's more like 1989-1993.

2004 and 2008 were like two different worlds, or 2004 and 2009 at least were.

I'd say that's more like 1989-1993.


I'd say more like 1990-1994, lol. Actually, each of the mentioned genres had their own separate time periods, as all genres do. Grunge was from 1991 (Nirvana's debut) until about 1995, house was from late 1989 (Technotronic) to about 1993/94, while gangsta rap was from 1988 (NWA) to about 1996 (2Pac and Biggie's deaths). There was also New Jack Swing which was from 1987-1996.

Relating to the topic of the thread, the genres of the mid-2000's had legs at separate periods too. Emo was 2004-2008, glam rap was from 2002-2005, snap/ringtone rap 2005-early 2008, and electro dancepop from late 2004 (Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. album) to 2008 (then evolved to Lady Gaga).

Agree on house music, grunge was like the very end of 1991 up to about 98ish, gangsta rap was from 88 to 06ish but really mostly from 1992 to 1997. Agree on new jack swing's span.

Emo was probably late 2005 to 2010. I'd say the emo fad lasted about five years, from "Sugar We're Goin' Down" in fall 2005 to "The Only Exception" in 2010.

Gwen Stefani's 2004 album wasn't really electrodance in my opinion at all, aside from the single "Cool" which wasn't very popular. I'd say it was more of the 'dirty pop' that typified the early 00s with a couple electro songs thrown in. It wasn't really cool to be electro until I Kissed A Girl and Just Dance came out.

Crunk/glam rap was about 02 to 05 yeah and then it evolved into snap and ringtone rap which lasted until 2008.

I don't really remember any grunge after 1995. I thought it kind of died when Kurt Cobain did.

If you listened a modern rock station it was very much alive though then again, nu metal and pop punk were taking its place by 1998. I'm not really sure, what was rock music from 1995-97 like?

It was more alternative rock/post-grunge, like Smashing Pumpkins, Bush, Live, Matchbox Twenty, Alanis Morisette, Oasis, Everclear, Smashmouth, etc.

I just found out something interesting while researching post grunge, that the decline of grunge was one of the things that led to Kurt Cobain's depression, drugs, and suicide in 1994. Grunge sort of made a comeback that year (especially Soundgarden), but I remember it was on a decline in 1993. Late 1991 and 1992 were the big years for grunge, with Nirvana's Nevermind album and Pearl Jam's 10. There was also Temple of the Dog and Alice in Chains.

at that time (I listened to these music so I'm knowledgable on that) it was still more of a progressive punk, pop grunge and soft rock (leftover from late 80s), the hardcore maturation years for artists in the music industry I must say :D

OMG 2004-2007.... it was I guess still fresh off my memories :p I guess I was in my tween years xD but nothing pop culture wise attracts me much during those years, very bland... it was memorable because of my personal circumstances and I do have vivid memories of then (so doesn't considered to be that young anymore) but apart from that... I guess you wouldn't get nostalgic about it until probably 2015.... stuff in 2005 still look "similar" enough in 2012... I guess 2013 is when the actual 2010s culture is starting to take into full shape and effect :D

The mid-2000s was kind of like an "upgraded" early 2000s. Music didn't seem to different, just "advanced" from the early 2000s. It was a pretty good time, but the early 2000s were better for me.

it was more relaxed

2006 was by far the best year if the decade imo.

i agree with this
What are your reasons for it tho? Just curious

2006 was by far the best year if the decade imo.


I'll have to disagree with you there. It was my least favorite year overall. It was one of those years which nothing seemed to have gone right in my life, and I didn't care for the music or movies of that year either.

let me guess u liked 2007 better

Nope, I liked 2004 and 2005 better. 2007 was a slight improvement from 2006, but not much. 2008 was great however.

In what way? ???

it really was tho, 2005 and 2006 are like the top years when ppl pick  2000s
It either comes down to either 2005 and 2006. Rarely will anyone talk smack about those years.

2006 was the worst year of the 00s for me, but that's more for personal reasons and not having to do with culture.

To be honest, I don't know any single year that was 'culturally bad' alone or in its entity. It were more or less eras that I didn't like and they usually span more years (~3). 2007-09 was not my favorite era for example....

every year of the 2000s was unique      but NOT in a good way

I prefer 2007 over 2006.

2006 was a good year for me as far as a part time job went I hooked up with my job coach and I started working at Au Bon Pain but I only lasted 9 months but I wasn't fired, there was a "business slowdown".

2006 had the potential to be sheeshty due to  That 70s show & Malcolm in the Middle and other shows ending in the spring of  that year. It really did lol. However it seems to most ppl  2006 turned out very very good despite a few flaws.  That 2006 effect stayed  in 2007 until like febuary and then 2007 became its own year. But yeah there really isn't anything bad to say about 2006 at all if any.

For me personally I have good and bad years of each era, but more so for personal reasons than the culture. I may not care for the culture of those years just because they bring back bad memories. One entire era that I did not care for is the early 2000's (2001-03), mainly because of 9/11 and its aftermath, and the entire culture was effected by it.

2008 was a great year in my personal life. It was the first of my 3 years of living in Japan (some of the best years of my life). As mentioned above, since I really enjoyed that year the music that came out that year brings back good memories, such as "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay, "Mercy" by Duffy, "Stop and Stare" by One Republic, "Shake It" by Metro Station, "American Boy" by Estelle, and many others. Also since I was living in Japan, I was able to avoid the panic and chaos from the economic crisis in the States. It was also an exciting year politically, with the election of Obama and the sense of hope (which later became disappointment in the years that followed).

yeah early 00s were crap

yeah early 00s were crap



I know the early 00's, more specifically the year 2001, is always going to get a bad rap because of 9/11, but if I had to choose my favorite era of the 00's, it'd be the early 00's mainly because personal events and the pop culture of the time (especially the music).

Early 2000's is usually known as the best era of the 2000's because it's the oldest and there are a lot of memories from then.

What's your favorite part of the decade?

I agree, although I can understand someone preferring the mid-2000s instead.

late 2004- late 2006

the mids 2003-2006  were justbetter.  The early 2000s dont really have any thing going for it.  Maybe 2000 thats about it

If 9/11 had never happened 2001 could've turned out to be a better year.

well of course. But the economy was still in the sheeshter and other than a few blips, has remained there for quite some time.

I tended to enjoy 2002-2004 more...mainly because I had so much fun at college. I think the whole Iraq/Afghanistan wars, an unpopular president (who got re-elected somehow) put a damper on the mid 2000's.

For the U.S. yes but maybe not for other countries. 2000's were a good decade in Canada for me.

Its weird tho  I feel like from the distance between late 2006 to 2008 seems  like a bigger gap than like 2010 to 2012
most of this has to do with the culture changing so much between late 06 and all of 07 and the 2cnd half of 2008.
Small case in point  I think a big reason it feels like ages is because of that gap between 06-08


I sometimes find it hard to believe the mid 00s was that long ago... between '04 and '06 was in my last year of middle school/first two years of high school...wow. Even though 90s hip hop was a little dated back then I was still listening to it. I like 2005 the most because it makes me think of the mid 90s. I hated 2003 very much, it sucked, 2007 was kind of boring, the summer was so-so. 2008 is pretty forgettable for me, I just like to pretend it doesn't exist.

2005 seems like a lifetime ago for me, It feels a very long time ago. I think 2006 is the year things started to become more like today especially when Facebook came out.



It's understandable, you're pretty young and even back then you were, what? 10? I was already in high school then. 

well of course. But the economy was still in the sheeshter and other than a few blips, has remained there for quite some time.


and plus The Election in November 2001.

like i said before  the  mid 00s    were  the        mid 90s with a  80s candy coated glow

If 9/11 had never happened 2001 could've turned out to be a better year.


Personally, I can't complain about my life in 2001. It was way easier to be 15  8)
9/11 was a big deal in Germany, too, but it didn't affect my life that much.

Also its the last carefree era  to have been carefree  (  no economic problems etc)


Oh, so there were no 'carefree eras' prior to mid-2000...?  ::)

Learn some history, pal...

If you watch a youtube video in 2005, Oh you are going to tell with a snap of  A  finger its in a different era. just google or bing "youtube time machine" then watch footage and tv ads from that era...Yeah dated

Or you could watch a movie or TV show from that year. In fact, that's a good idea. I think I'll watch "40 Year Old Virgin" tonight. That one is a classic. "Wedding Crashers" is good too, but I don't own that one.

Also watch any final season 2006 episode of malcom in the middle  There are some scenes in the mall and in school. Even Malcolm has A emo hawk lol.  I dunno there is something about the fashion of 2005 and 2006 its very bland but in a it's ok to. Be bland for that era way.

Early Youtube was not great. Today's is the best with all these HD videos.

plus, Youtube is trying to keep up with social networking.

I liked early YouTube. It was more cretive and it had more charecter. It got bland and boring when Google took over. It's still my favourite social networking site though and always will be until something else replaces it.  :P
