Actually, August is technically still the mid part of the year, since January-April is early, May-August is mid, and September-December is late, but you could say August is mid-late combined since it's still in the 2nd half of the year along with July.

First year without my grandpa, kids turned into buttheads, remaining kids networks I checked out rebranded, tv SUCKED, and wrestling was at an ALL TIME LOW! MJ died, the RAMS sucked, moives were crap the first half of the year. Everything had just changed that year.
Music and sports was good though!

WOW; 2010, most of 2014 and 2013 are the only years of my life of this decade I have actually enjoyed. 2012 CULTURALLY was probably the best.
I't maybe because you were still a kid during those years and entering your teen years were a rude awakening possibly. ;D

I spent almost my entire high school career in the late 2000s, I got in September 2006 and graduated June 2010. Ask me anything, and I'm sure you'll be happy to be a 2010s teen ;D

It's weird, you're a 2010s teen that wants to be a 2000s teen, and I'm a late 2000s/early 2010s teen that wished the 2010s teen portion was a lot longer ;D Although being a 2010s young adult is a lot more fun. Maybe it's just best to play with the cards you're dealt with? ;) It seems no era is perfect.

Yep, late '00s teens are the last group to be in high school (or late middle school/8th grade) to not have things like smartphones and didn't have the issues that the 2010s have. Nowadays we seen people in elementary school having smartphones and being exposed to things like SJWs and other 2010s things.

The definition of dudebro from Urbandictionary describes late 2000s teens to a T, the first one is from December 2006 and the second from September 2008. The first definition says 16-25 y/o, but you can take it down to 13-15 y/o as well and imagine it 10x worse. That's your late 2000s teen dudebro.



White suburban males, usually 16-25 years of age, hailing from anywhere, USA. Characterized by their love of College football, pickup trucks/SUVs, beer,cut off khaki cargo shorts, light pink polo brand shirts (with collar "popped"), abercrombie & fitch, hollister gear, and trucker hats. Favorite bands include, but are not limited to, O.A.R., Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews Band, Avengened Sevenfold, The Fray, and often crappy radio rap (i.e. Nelly, Dem Franchize Boyz, D4L, etc.). Dude bro's are incredibly insecure in their manhood, which makes them: insanely jealous of their girl friends, overly macho, and laughably homophobic. currently, there is no cure for being a dude bro.
6 out of 10 guys at any predominantly white mall in america.

a "dude" can be positive,
a "bro" can also be positive,
but a "dude bro" is never a good thing.

4. On dates he only talks about his car, how fast it goes, what’s under the hood, the fact you race it and think it impresses girls
5. When a man drinks beer and refers to it as brew-skis
6. a man who high-five his friends, co workers and girlfriends
7. a man who calls his friends Dude, Bro, Buddy and will often add a “ski” to the end of if (broski)
8. men who buy shirts that cost $100 to show off your muscles

The teenage girls of the late 2000s weren't as bad. I can't think of anything bad they did except of course there were always the few bad apples who thought they were on the cast of Mean Girls.

It's just that I don't really like this decade's pop culture. There's barely anything on that isn't boring as hell to me. The mid-late 2000s entertained me like it was an amusement park. Myself being happy as hell, along with the Internet and TV being awesome back then. Ever since late 2011 when Steve Jobs died, it was really depressing as f*ck to me.

Dudebros still dominate the AAA-gaming console industry (because they're the only ones who reliably buy games), but for the most part I think their influence is dead, and replaced by "nu-males" or hipsters or whatever you guys have been calling me :P We own this generation yo.

Same here. There's nothing wrong with technology, but we need to take a step back and go out and do something fun. Even more, I was going to make a difference in the world regarding social justice; however, thanks to SJWs, I can't do that anymore as I would basically get lumped with them.

Hipsters I can deal with. Dudebros annoy me.

Late 2000s Internet was okay. Only thing it has going for it is YouTube Golden Age, and Wikipedia community not being uptight and having many anonymous editors. But it was still rampant with trolls, moreso than today. The general population of the Internet was a lot younger, and there weren't many people over 25 on the Internet. There was no Spotify or Netflix, heck, most movies did not release digitally period. Piracy was so rampant, and the sites were teeming with viruses. First it was Limewire and then later Megauplad came. You have to remember Internet speeds weren't as fast then, it used to take me 6 hours to download a movie, until I upgraded my speed in 2008. Also as a language learner, I absolutely detested the fact that most foreign companies hated the sight of money in the late 2000s. International commerce is so much easier in the 2010s and I'm grateful for that.

Late 2000s TV and 2010s TV is the same thing :o Most people, pundits and critics consider both to be a part of the same Golden Age of Television.

The Golden Age of Television (2000s–present) is a period marked by the production of a large number of internationally acclaimed television programs in the United States. The period began in the mid-2000s.

Funny think that that it hasn't been 10 years yet the late '00s is already very different than the mid '10s in terms of internet.

Same! But development costs these days are so high and require 200-300 people teams. And just look at what's happenning to Nintendo, the anti-dudebro gaming company. Nobody is willing to take risks anymore. It sucks but I understand why things are the way they are, which is why I mostly game on handhelds. But even that is dying out in favour of mobile gaming. :'(

As mentioned before it's why I like indie games. Which for those of you kids/teens in the late '00s you may have noticed the rise of indie games around that time. Indie games are cheap to make a cheap to buy. And a ton of the games take risks by including things that you wouldn't see in AAA games. I tried to stick with handheld consoles for a while (Nintendo was always good with handhelds as I really do like the 3DS), but mobile gaming will replace actual handheld gaming systems in the future. Nowadays these big AAA games that require +200 people (I've seen games go up to 700 people) and need to appeal to the dudebros since they're more of them than there is non-dudebros. You'd have games like GTA, Call of Duty, or Destiny that sale around 5-6 million or more copies while games like Pikmin 3, Mario Kart 8, or even Super Smash Bros 4 doesn't get anywhere near those sales anymore.

Hopefully this crazy trend dies. But seeing how the dudebro targeted games are still successful it comes to a point where I'm not even sure if the trend of dudebro targeted games will die. So all I can say is to trying getting an interest in indie games. You'll find that nearly all the games aren't dudebro targeted and aren't made by dudebros.

I've been thinking about getting into PC gaming. The cost of entry is high, but I see many great Indie games being released for it, not to mention that they're cheap!

Oh right! I forgot that the best platform for indie games is a PC and not everyone would have one. Indie games are on consoles as well, but PC is where a lot of them usually go to first or exclusively. Lately I've been playing games like Cave Story, Team Fortress 2 (it's not an indie games and it's an FPS, but it's colorful and has lots of personality and charm.), Ori and the Blind Forest, Dust and Elysian Tale, Fez, and Skullgirls. These are the games I'm playing now, but there are tons of indie games that I loved and can't wait to get released like A Hat in Time (a game inspired by Banjo Kazooie and Psychonauts) and Cuphead (A game inspired by old 1930s cartoons).

Dude, a lot of those games are old! ;D I played Cave Story for the 3DS, great game! I know some of my friends are addicted to TF2, so I've avoided it for the most part ;D I've played Fez and Skullgirls, great games! I'll definitely check out the others you listed, although I won't be getting a new PC for a while.

Speaking of being similar to Banjo-Kazooie, my friend told me to check out this game yesterday and it looked super cool!

There are tons of new indie games that came out, but I was mostly just telling you what I was playing at the moment (I play both old AND new games). If we're talking new games then try things like Undertale or Firewatch. And there are tons of new indie games coming out in 2016-2017 such as Cuphead, A Hat in Time, Lobodestroyo, Yooka Laylee, No Man's Sky, Inside, Toren, Below, Ghost of a Tale, Hyper Light Drifter, Stories: The Hidden Path, Freedom Planet 2 etc. If you ever have the time then I'd recommend checking out these upcoming games.

If it was for 2009, I think it was legendary for the movies. There were Where The Wild Things Are, Avatar, The Blind Side, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Coraline, Watchmen, Star Trek, Princess and The Frog, The Hangover, and Inglorious Basterds. However, with TV transitioning to amuse people for the 2010s, it kinda sucked. The only shows that were good at the time were Chowder, Flapjack, TDI, Speed Racer: The Next Generation, and The Mighty B. But at least it wasn't 2012, where EVERYTHING sucked.

I couldn't even stand being depressed, while everything was all happy-go-lucky at the time. What's worse about it was the f*cking shootings that happened during the year. They're the reason why gun stores should get more background checks, since they're going to have mentally ill people shooting up places. It's drastically horrible. I can't believe that conservatives don't give a sheesh, since they're nothing more than gun-loving f*cktards.

The Obama election was also an amazing time to be in high school.

Even though I agreed with the late 2000s starting mathematically in September 2006, I think it started in 2007. The culture of the late 2000s didn't start until the spring of 2007, since that's when YouTube and other sorts of social media (besides Myspace) became popular.

I wouldn't really consider myself to be an "outright" Late 2000's kid, because I was 7 years old in 2006 and I consider the Mid 2000's to be apart of my core childhood. Not only that, but because my 11th birthday was in March 2010, I was pretty much in my late childhood during the end of the Late 2000's. By 2008,I had also stopped watching "current" kids shows and I wasn't exactly partaking in the kids culture at the time either. Basically, I was still a kid, but at the same time, I "wasn't". :P

I wouldn't really consider myself to be an "outright" Late 2000's kid, because I was 7 years old in 2006 and I consider the Mid 2000's to be apart of my core childhood. Not only that, but because my 11th birthday was in March 2010, I was pretty much in my late childhood during the end of the Late 2000's. By 2008,I had also stopped watching "current" kids shows and I wasn't exactly partaking in the kids culture at the time either. Basically, I was still a kid, but at the same time, I "wasn't". :P


I felt the same thing in 2008, even though I still liked watching cartoons at the time. It was around that time where I started to watch commercials and TV bumpers from the late 70s to early 90s. It was pretty cool, and it gave me an illusion that I never saw before. Even by then, I still liked watching modern kids cartoons until the early 2010s.

I stopped watching current kid shows in 2011. I didn't watch kids' movies or play kids' games at that time, it was just tv shows for some reason. ;D I had a friend who watched current kids' shows until he was 18 though.

I have a bunch of friends who still watch current kids' shows, although I think they don't really watch them as adult shows for some reason.

I watched Phineas & Ferb when I was 15/16.

And I'm a Nintendo fanboy, so I still have some things in common with late 2000s kids who had a Wii or a DS.

I still liked cartoons at the time as well, however I was watching shows such as "Inspector Gadget" and "Wacky Races", instead of watching shows like "Spongebob" or "Fairy Oddparents". In 2009, the only cartoons I was watching were "The Simpsons", "Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies" shorts from the 50s/60s and "Oswald The Lucky Rabbit", a series of shorts from the late 1920s. By 2010, I stopped watching cartoons altogether (apart from "Ren & Stimpy" and "The Simpsons, which isn't even a kids show anyway). I always had an interest in older cartoons, all throughout my childhood.

I guess Australian TV wasn't that interesting towards the 2000s, especially for kids. I had an interest towards cartoons from the 90s and 2000s at the time I was a teen. I watched them because it gave me a great nostalgia value for me.

I loved Wacky Races and Fairly Oddparents, never saw or knew an inspector Gadget tv show existed, and I didn't watch SpongeBob, I stopped watching cartoons besides Star Wars stuff by 2010 as well, when I said I watched kids' shows earlier, I was referring to ones like Drake & Josh, live action ones.

Generally speaking, most Australian-produced kids shows aren't that good. About 90% of the shows I watched as a kid were either from the US or the UK. It's hard to explain why Australian kids shows generally aren't as good as kids shows from the US or UK, but I think the content of the shows has something to do with it. I only ever watched a small handful of Australian-produced kids shows when I was younger, to be honest. I don't expect you to know any of these shows, but the Australian-produced kids shows I watched were Bananas In Pyjames, Playschool, Hi-5, Round The Twist, The Koala Brothers, Blinky Bill and The Wiggles. Out of the seven shows I listed, five of the shows all started in the 1990s. The Koala Brothers is the only Australian-produced kids show that I watched, which started in the 2000s. Playschool actually started back in 1966!

Interesting to hear. Inspector Gadget actually dates back to the Mid 1980s, if i'm not mistaken. Here is the theme song of the TV show, in case you're interested:

I loved The Wiggles as a kid, we rented VHS tapes of them all the time. :D

I do know that theme from the movies, I saw the Inspector Gadget and Inspector Gadget 2 movies, I just didn't know it had a tv show, that's pretty cool though. :)

That one was bad. I liked the Wii version though.


I agree with the Wii version of New Super Mario Bros being better than the DS one story mode wise, but that didn't mean the DS one was bad. The DS version of New Super Mario Bros is in fact that the one that started the New Super Mario Bros. series. Here's the thing, the full soundtrack/music in the DS version, has NOT been used in the New Super Mario Bros series ever since, which makes that one feel original. New Super Mario Bros Wii on the other hand, since that one they've been recycling the same music over and over again for the other series and it's so annoying. Also, with New Super Mario Bros. (DS), the multiplayer on there was the best in the series, because of the one on one match ups with Mario and Luigi with a choice of 5 different courses, and the mini-games. I find it a lot more enjoyable than having 4 people on the same screen doing multiplayer on the same story mode levels you can do as single player then the screen's moving around making things all confusing  :-\\

So overall IMO.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii (story mode) >>> New Super Mario Bros. (DS) (story mode)

New Super Mario Bros. (DS) (multiplayer) >>> New Super Mario Bros. Wii (multiplayer) 


Also, the one thing I liked about the Wii version being better is that there's a world 9 for bonus levels (you must get all 3 star coins from each level of the world to access those of course), and world 1-8 overall are more challenging plus you have to go through ALL of them. On the DS version, you only have to go through 6 worlds and the game is much easier, worlds 1-3, 5-6, and 8, while world's 4 & 7 are bonus world's you access if you defeat the world 2 & 5 bosses as mini-Mario. Plus no bonus world 9 levels which sucked. However, the one thing I didn't like about the Wii version is that you could go into Peach's castle to get clues on how to beat the levels and find secret exits, which ruined the point of the game. In New Super Mario Bros. (DS) unless you had a gaming booklet or cheats online, you had to figure everything on your own 100%. I still completed New Super Mario Bros. (DS) and Wii 100% though. In New Super Mario Bros. (DS) you had pretty badass items like the mega-mushroom, mini-mushroom, and the blue shell, but in New Super Mario Bros. Wii you had pretty badass items like the propeller (flying) mushroom and the penguin suit, oh and Wii had Yoshi too how did I forget him? I just liked both of the games equally if you asked me. I like how different New Super Mario Bros (DS) and Wii were, and I hate it when people are ignorant and think that New Super Mario Bros Wii is the Wii version of the DS one, no it's not, it's two completely different games and the differences are noticeable despite the graphics being a little similar. After New Super Mario Bros Wii, the series has been lazy and has felt the same, especially with the music.

The late 2000s were from 2008 to 2010.

I do not know why so many people measure time in decades. People don't live in decades. Each age is either a novennium (“9-year ”) or a duodecennium ("12-year ") because every era that happens within an age is called a triennium ("3-year "). The early '90s lasted from 1990 to 1992, then came the mid '90s. The early Clinton '90s (mid '90s) begun in 1993 and ended in 1995 and 1996 to 1998 were the late '90s. So, the '90s, as a whole, were a novennium. See how it works?
