Well... here we go! Now keep in mind I was just a kid, early teen during the era. But I do identify with the era though a lot though. Besides the kids stuff, I enjoyed the music, movies and yes even the TV shows from that era. The mid part of the decade usually gets A LOT of hate, especially from the folks on here. ;D ;D ;D
Arctic Fox is mainly the brains by the operation, but due to his dislike for the 00s mainstream culture he decided not to make one. So as a friend of his I took over this time around.

A Quote from the wise man himself.
"Adolescence is generally paired up with high school, and rightfully so. Just because you are 13 or 19 doesn't mean you are an adolescent—you are a teenager, not an adolescent! When I refer to "2000s Teens", I'm talking about people who spent either all or most of their high school years in the 2000's. I consider adolescence to span from the summer right before 9th grade year (because 9th grade isn't always considered high school) all the way through the summer immediately following 12th grade year." For someone who graduated high school in 2004, that would span June 2000 through August 2004. Going by past definitions by Arctic...

Early 2000s Teens: Class of 2002, Class of 2003, Class of 2004 and Class of 2005
Mid 2000s Teens: Class of 2006, Class of 2007, and Class of 2008
Late 2000s Teens: Class of 2009, Class of 2010, and Class of 2011

Again, as with the previous thread, I want you guys to talk about the differences between people who were in high school in the early '00s and people who were in high school in the middle and later '00s. Since this was the first era of Social Media, also the Reality TV explosion, location really matters when discussing a person's high school experience. But within these three chronological eras of the 2000's, people dressed differently, listened to different types of music, watched different tv shows, liked different types of movies, played different kinds of video games, and said different catch-phrases. So go ahead—compare and contrast early and mid '00s teenagers. How is someone who graduated high school in 2004 different from someone who graduated high school in 2008? I will classify Class of 2005 as early-to-mid '00s teens, Class of 2008 are mid-to-late '00s teens, and Class of 2011 as late '00s with an "acquired taste'' for early 10s culture.

After all these threads that ArcticFox made, this is truly the best. I was only a kid during the 2000s, but I did listen to a lot of mainstream music by the late 2000s. It's more kickass listening to Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Kelis (the girl who made Milkshake), Kanye West, and the list goes on and on. If I were a 2000s teen, then I would've been using AIM frequently. But I only experienced using AIM by 2010/2011, when this decade was just getting started.

I think the coolest thing about being a 2000s teen (no matter if it came from the early, mid, or even late '00s), was that the Internet was a powerful underground for their culture. Anything that they would've talked about was on either AIM, MSN, ICQ, or Yahoo! IM. Not to mention that the flip phones were way cooler than the ones we have now. If only cell phones were used for texting and calling, and not everyday Internet use.

I'm a late 2000s/early 2010s teen.

We were the LAST cohort of teens whose Internet memes were unironically stupid, as opposed to being ironic and "dank". ;D

The 2000s was the worst decade to be a teen, IMO :-X :-X :-X.

That is why I really don't like being a teen in this decade. Every meme has to be either dank, ironic, or just stupid in order to have yourself as cool.

How come?

How come?

Horrible fashion, snap rap, coming of age right around the time of the recession, corny MTV shows, etc.

Well you would still be in college if you were a 2000s teen. Unless you wanted a part-time job, then I could understand that. Personally I liked the 2000s culture because at least it wasn't full of stupid memes. I hated it ever since I turned 13.

I also forgot emo 8-P, another reason why I wouldn't have wanted to be  a 2000s teen. Being a 2010s teen isn't much better but I'll still take being 13-19 in 2012-2018 over being 13-19 in 2002-2008.

Interesting you claim both.
Then again if you were born a year earlier, I could definitely see you doing it.

Which years?

I will classify Class of 2005 as early-to-mid '00s teens


Great post. ;)

I just want to say that I agree with this part 100%. As a member of the Class of 2005, I feel like I really straddled the line between an early '00s teen and a mid '00s teen, as did everybody born between 1986-88, really.

Here's an overview of my four years in high school, just so you can see how much things changed during those years.

2001-02, freshman year: I started high school about two weeks before 9/11. At that time, no students had cell phones or MP3 players. The internet was not really a major part of our lives, but I would occasionally talk to my friends in chat rooms and using stuff like AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo! Messanger. The most popular music was Teen Pop acts like the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. The most popular Rock acts were Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Creed, P.O.D. and Nickleback. Pop-Punk like Blink-182, Simple Plan and American Hi-Fi were also really popular, as was Hip-Hop like Nelly, Jay-Z, OutKast and Shaggy. Spiked hair and baggy jeans were all the rage when it came to male fashion.

2002-03, sophomore year: 2002-03 was really not that much different from 2001-02, which is why I still consider it a firmly "early '00s" school year. Cell phones and MP3 players were still virtually nonexistent among students, and internet usage was still limited mostly to AIM and chat rooms. Teen Pop started to become slightly less popular this year, as did Nu Metal, but both genres were still mostly dominant in my school. Garage Rock Revival also started to really take off in 02-03, as The White Stripes and The Strokes catapulted into the mainstream. The "baggy" Y2K look was still in for guys.

2003-04, junior year: By the end of this year, I start noticing some students buying iPods and cell phones, but they are mostly still rare. This is the last school year for me that was 100% "social media free", as I was still not yet aware of MySpace. Chat rooms start getting less use, but AIM and Yahoo! Messenger remain popular. Nu Metal and Y2K era Teen Pop are pretty much completely dead by this point. Post-Grunge is the most popular genre of Rock, dominated by the likes of 3 Doors Down, Nickleback, Audioslave and Godsmack, along with Garage Rock groups like The White Stripes, Jet and The Vines. By and large, the year belongs to OutKast, who put out the epic Speakerboxxx/The Love Below double album around the start of the school year. 50 Cent is also quite popular this year.

2004-05, senior year: A year of fairly rapid change. 2004-05 was the last year that CD players outnumbered iPods. By early 2005, about 25% of the student body had an early flip-phone. Most students began to discover MySpace during the later part of this year, but YouTube and Twitter were still over a year away from existing. AIM is still popular. Most students here still have dial-up, but broadband internet is increasing in scope. Pop-Punk is starting to fade by this point, but early Emo acts like Jimmy Eat World and Dashboard Confessional begin to gain prominence. Green Day makes a comeback with American Idiot as students follow the 2004 presidential election, and The Killers have one of the biggest hits of the year in Mr. Brightside. By the time I graduate, early Emo styles can be seen popping up on campus.

OK, that's fine.

I know he was, I was just saying it was cool someone else besides me identifies with the late 00s teen culutre. Even tho were weren't in our prime quite yet.
The years I'm referring to are 15-18... 13 and 14 were ok. 19 was decent. The teen years overall were my least fav years. Those were the down years. :(

Wow.. so the 2001-02 season still had that millennium era holdover when it came to the music. Just the proof I needed to ensure folks that the 2001-02 season while clearly cultural early 00s still had that millennium influence. It's why I believe the 2002-03 season was the quintessential early 00s season. Also it went to show ya how things started changing during the 2003-04 season, the ultimate end of the early 00s and start of something new. and how the 2004-05 season was the peak of the era.

Yes! Only year I even liked was 2013.


I feel you. The early 2010s (especially after Steve Jobs died) were the toughest years in my life.

If I was like 4-5 years older, I would have liked the early 10s A LOT MORE! It seemed to cool to have been a 20 something or at least 18-19 during that time instead of being at the peak of my awkward teen angst. >:( >:( >:(

It probably depends on your situation. I was finally able to get a stable job in late 2010, so I enjoyed the early '10s quite a bit. Other friends I had, fresh out of college, were still struggling due to the effects of the Great Recession, so they probably don't look back as fondly on that time as I do.

I would rather be in my 20s during the mid 2010s. At least I would've been an adult instead of being an awkward teen.

Yeah I was going on my personal experiences. The mid 10s were DECENT personal life wise, but culturally and socially... pretty bad for me. :(  The early 10s would have gone A LOT better had I been 4-5 years older imo. or HELL 4-5 years younger probably.  :o
The late 10s haven't quite hit their stride yet. But soo far pretty good perosnal life wise! OVER 21 Baby!!! 8)

I would want to be in my 20s during the 1990s ;).

I think the 10s suck to be honest
I don't look back on any of the 10s fondly.

You guys were the ultimate early-mid 00s teenagers!!! :D :D :D  Yuo guys were also the most laid back ones of the 00s teens. I RARELY have had any issues with y'all. The others I'm bout to get to in a minute... ::) :P

I have to agree.
Now could I get your thoughts on the 2000s? since you were a teen in early and mid part of the era.

I would rather be in my early 20s by the late 90s.  ;)

Sadly, I think most people would disagree with you with the early-mid 2010s. I don't know about the late 2010s, since that's gonna be Trump's years.

Crazy Frog and Crank That say it all IMO.  :-X

Early defiantly, I'm not sure about mid tho. Mid 10s are a mixed bag here.
The early 10s are usually praised by people who were either in their 20s or 18-19. Hell in the future those were kids during that time might even praise it.

I said the early and mid 2010s because that was when Obama was president. By the late 2010s though, it's sort of a mixed bag with Trump as president.

But the mid 10s are either liked or dislike by a TON of people. The late 10s just got started...

Well yeah, there's no doubt that the mid 2010s would be frowned upon most people (especially me). But I think the late 2010s (despite getting started) would just be debatable.

2010, 2011, and some of 2012 had 00s a lot of 00s holdovers though. Personally it was a horrible time but at least I liked some of the charts. The electropop of 2008-2011 was way different than the electronic music now.

Nah. Most (if not) all of 2012 was like the 2010s in a sense. They felt kinda different with 2010 and 2011.

True in most ways it was 10s but some of the pop charts the old electropop style.
Personally, late 2008 and onward really sucked. Now the problem is less financial (like it was in the late 00s and early 10s and it was downright horrific for a lot of people) but
more the whole world going to hell in a handbasket, which a lot started in 2012.

Can we get back to talking about the 2000s and 00s teens please?! :( ;D

That picture takes me back to 2007, when everybody thought it was a huge deal that they were having a presidential debate featuring questions asked by people on YouTube.

Machine, off topic, but could you respond to the question I asked you in the Buzzfeed topic? :)

I didn't really care about the debate, since all I cared about on YouTube was AMVs and This is Sparta videos back in 2007.

I actually watched that debate. It was a Democratic primary debate in July 2007. It seems like no big deal now, but I remember thinking how futuristic it seemed at the time to see Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama being asked questions by people on YouTube.

Anyway, let's get back to the topic.

I was a late 2000s/early 2010s teen, and it was a great time! Some of my favorite memories from this time are seeing the movies Chronicle and Super 8 (anyone remember those?). Plus Team Fortress 2, the early era of YouTube, etc.

Yea. Decent times of 2008 and 2009.
Still wish I'd been just a YEAR earlier. I would have FULLY been a teen in the late 00s and early 10s.
Also would have fully bee in Elementary and HS during the ENTIRE 00s and early 10s.

Yea. Decent times of 2008 and 2009.

I have a soft spot for 2010-2012/3 too.

It was sort of important, but my 7 and a half year old self was more into watching what I liked back then.

I have a soft spot for 2010-2012/3 too.

COMPLETE polar opposite for me except 2013, as you may already know.
2008 and 2009 were the last times things felt fun and not forced for me. But things are starting to change regarding the social climate in my life, as i'm starting to notice.

2010 is the last year of my childhood.

BTW, guys check out my "Political Roleplay Thread" in the Politics section...please :).

COMPLETE polar opposite for me except 2013, as you may already know.
2008 and 2009 were the last times things felt fun and not forced for me. But things are starting to change regarding the social climate in my life, as i'm starting to notice.

2013 was the last time things felt fun and not forced for me. :P Before the evil and dreary mid 2010s took hold...

Arctic Fox metnioned this in his 2010s teens video, so I figure I should share it in the 2000s thread.

Also, perhaps the biggest divider between early 2000s teens and mid 2000s teens BAR NONE is that early 2000s teens were in high school for either all or most of the early portion of the decade. Mid 2000's teens, on the other hand, were still children, being in middle school or even elementary school during the early 2000s. Not only are mid 2000's teens, 90's kids, but they're also early 2000's kids as well. :o :o :o  It's amazing what 1-2 years apart in age can do to you.
So regarding the 2006 Class, not only are they the first mid 00s teens, but they're also technically the first 00s kids as well. :o :D Mind-blowing when you think about that, especially considering how their attitudes can be, as I've seen it here on the internet and have even seen it in my own family a little bit.
It also explains how they're the ELDEST ones I can relate to as close friends, as well. :o

2013 was the last time things felt fun and not forced for me. :P Before the evil and dreary mid 2010s took hold...

It's good to see the early 10s were kinder to you than they were to me... :o  Cause that was equally hell. >:(

2010 is the last year of my childhood.


I consider 2011 to be my last year, since that was before I felt crazy.

Also, check out my poltical roleplay thread.

You guys are starting  show y'all ages... :( ;D

You guys are starting  show y'all ages... :( ;D

I have always shown my age.

Early 2000s Teens: Class of 2002, Class of 2003, Class of 2004 and Class of 2005
Mid 2000s Teens: Class of 2006, Class of 2007, and Class of 2008
Late 2000s Teens: Class of 2009, Class of 2010, and Class of 2011

Well, if one's teenage years are ages 13-18, then the C/O 2009 (me) is just as much a teenager of the mid 2000s.

The Summer of 2010 was the "Last Summer of My Childhood" to me.

Also, check out my poltical roleplay thread.


The Summer of 2011 was the last childhood summer before I started to get angst within my puberty. Although, it wasn't as innocent as 2003-2009.

I was never innocent ;) ;D.

True they may have entered it in the mid 00s, but they're peak was during the late 00s.

I strongly disagree. I've always considered myself to have equally been a teenager of both the mid 00s and late 00s.

I see you graduated in 2009. ;D  Well... you were either born in late 1990 or 1991 right? But anyways you became a teen in 2004, but usually 15-18 is the prime of that time in your life.(I kinda explained it in the first post about adolescence) For you you it would have been 2006-2009 which is mainly late.
also, To be fair Arctic Fox was the one who originally came up with the decades teen system. You should talk to him about that.

Speaking of late 00s teens. I'm bout to talk about them coming up... ::) ::) ::)

Age 18 is the start of legal adulthood; it's not really a "teenage" year in the sociocultural sense. You might as well include age 19 then.

Ages 14-17 are the traditional teenage years because they directly correspond with high school.

Why, thank you for that. ::)

Well, seniors can be 18 as well. I was after all. Also 14 years are either 8th grades OR HS freshman usually depending on the birthday.
Like Arctic Fox has said before, the summer before you're in HS til the summer after HS is usually the peak of a persons adolescence.

Not everyone is 18 years old when they graduate high school, but everyone is at least 17 years old. Therefore, senior year is better associated with age 17.

No, not everyone is 14 years old the day they start high school, but everyone is 14 years old at some point during freshman year.

Like as an example, I would be 17 years and 9 months by my graduation day.

I was pretty much a 00s adolescent and there was a lot to enjoy. 8). R&B, non-snap hip-hop, non-emo rock. The PS2, NDS, Gamecube, and Xbox 360 (I didn't get a Wii and PS3 until much later.). Comfortable fashion. Some great movies and discovering classic youtube for the first time. Great times!

Well that's true and all; however, most people are 14 for 9th grade and 17 for 12th.

As for the bold, ArcticFox's span seem to be 11-13 for early. 14-18 for peak and 18-19 for late which is great; however, 18-19 is not generally considered the end of adolesence. That would be 16-17.

Oh, and welcome back  :)

Like as an example, I would be 17 years and 9 months by my graduation day.

I will be about 2 weeks away from turning 18 when I grauduate on June 26th.

Well I was... I have no clue what you're cutoff is?! :o


What "cutoff?" Let's say someone was born in July of a given year. That person was still 17 years old when they graduated high school in May or June; they associate age 18 with post-HS life.

Kindergarten entrance age by state: http://ecs.force.com/mbdata/mbquestRT?rep=Kq1402

They all have it set at 5 years old. Therefore, age 5 is associated with kindergarten. If we extrapolate that:

Age 5 (kindergarten)

Age 6 (1st grade)

Age 7 (2nd grade)

...

Age 14 (9th grade)

Age 15 (10th grade)

Age 16 (11th grade)

Age 17 (12th grade)

Anyways, back to the teens discussion. The Late 2000s teens, due to my interaction with them(I went to HS with a couple of them) struck me as EASILY the most annoying of the bunch by far. This group just loved to brag about being in their peak childhoods during the late 90s.

The reason I asked was because we have a cutoff to start school here in Missouri. What the hell did ya think I was talkin about?
Well... of course that person was born during the summer month. It's usually the way it works here in MO.

If we're talking about the core 00s then yeah. Since you were 11-15 during that time.
BTW, thanks Markese.

So there is Markese (UltraGameDog) and Marquis (mqg96)? :(

Early '00s.

Yeah, pretty much. I see 5th grade, middle school and high school as my adolescence.

And you're welcome! :)

Yeah. Although Mqg doesn't know my name, but I know his. I wonder if his is pronounced the same?

Cutoff dates aren't particularly relevant to this discussion. They also don't seem to be strictly enforced, either. There were plenty of kids in my graduating class who were born in late September, October, November, and December of 1991. There was even a girl born as late as February 1992 and a guy as early as June 1990.

The point I'm trying to make is that, generally speaking, one has to be 5 years old (or almost 5 years old) by the time they enter kindergarten.

I was pretty much a 00s adolescent and there was a lot to enjoy. however, 18-19 is not generally considered the end of adolesence. That would be 16-17.


You're an in awkward position since you were born in September of 1993 which is technically fall of 1993. But you graduated in 2011, which is regarded as the VERY last 00s teen class. But... If you lived here in MO you would have graduated in 2012, making you one of the first 10s teens. So I consider you a hybrid of both, late 00s and early 10s. Since you're peak was 2008-2011.

Wow that's strange,  Cause 18, 19 and 20 I still felt like an adolescent and was still treated like one. 21 was a big jump for me personally speaking.

Same here. For the time I've been in K-12, I have known people who were born early as January/February of a previous year along with folks born late as November/December of their respective graduation class.

That's because CA had a late cutoff of December, so it was common seeing fall born folks in their original class.

Well not me. I already felt like a adult before I even graduated high school. It's why I see the early 10s more as early adulthood than later adolescence.

2011 Class are fun bunch to quickly discuss, due to the fact that they may have graduated in 2011(which is technically the early 10s). But chronologically, they're mostly teens of the late 00s with that bit of early 10s influence since they were still in HS in late 2009, 2010 and 2011. Also here's where things get interesting. Not only are they the final 2000s teens, but the eldest ones in the class in particular are the final "90s kids'' as well. It was the beginning of the end of that era in my school when they left. When the 2012 class left and the 2016 class came in that was the start of a transitional period in my school.

A teenager is an adolescent, but an adolescent isn't necessarily a teenager.

True.



Well not me. I already felt like a adult before I even graduated high school. It's why I see the early 10s more as early adulthood than later adolescence.

Well... It's obvious you and me come from totally different worlds. :D :o Cause 20 wasn't that much different at all from 18 1/2, 19. and 20. My parents, grandparents, all elder figures in my family treated me the same during all those years till I became legal(21). I was still seen as a kid to them prior to that. I also still had the same mindset, still talked the same, and looked the same as well.  I was just raised in the old school perspective. Seeing as how were mid-west/southern folks.
Wow, you were only 17 1/2 when you graduated and you already felt like an adult?! ??? Wow! :o 

I think teen culture in the '00s is better divided into halves than early/mid/late.

2000-2004ish: A&F, Hollister, AE, short hair on guys, no beards, shaved legs, Eminem, r&b, dial-up or early broadband adopter, pre-flip phones, homophobia, 6th gen consoles or PC

2004ish-early 2009: Emo/scene, skinny jeans, long hair on guys w/swoop, broadband, MySpace, RAZR phones, ringtone rap, early YouTube, increased LGBT acceptance, 7th gen consoles

Also here's where things get interesting. Not only are they the final 2000s teens, but the eldest ones in the class in particular are the final "90s kids'' as well.

Agree, but that's not stoping the class of 2017 from calling themselves the "last 90s kids" too, just because they were born in the 90s. *cringes*

2004ish-early 2009: Emo/scene, skinny jeans, long hair on guys w/swoop, MySpace, RAZR phones, ringtone rap, early YouTube, increased LGBT acceptance, 7th gen consoles

Agree mostly, but 7th gen consoles weren't really popular until the 2006-07 school year.

Agree, but that's not stoping the class of 2017 from calling themselves the "last 90s kids" too, just because they were born in the 90s. *cringes*

Are you saying that we aren't? :(

IKR, I don't really consider anyone born during the Clinton years "90s kids". The eldest ones in the 2011 class are hybrids, while the younger ones are just partial.

I don't really consider anyone born during the Clinton years "90s kids".

Why aren't we '90s kids? :-\\

Why aren't we '90s kids? :-\\

lol you know why! ::)

I don't really consider anyone born during the Clinton years "90s kids".

Yep. But that doesn't stop this STUPID Facebook fad where people who, all things considered, spent more childhood time in the 00s, still call themselves "90s kids" because they were born in the 90s.

It's been going on for seven years and it's just as cancerous now as when it started. ;D

Kindergarten entrance age by state: http://ecs.force.com/mbdata/mbquestRT?rep=Kq1402

They all have it set at 5 years old. Therefore, age 5 is associated with kindergarten. If we extrapolate that:

Age 5 (kindergarten)

Age 6 (1st grade)

Age 7 (2nd grade)

...

Age 14 (9th grade)

Age 15 (10th grade)

Age 16 (11th grade)

Age 17 (12th grade)


Not everybody though, and it's not like people stay the same age for the whole school year. Here in Georgia kids must have turned 5 before September 1st in order to enter Kindergarten. I get that the majority of the people are 17 their senior year, but it's more like 60% of those are 17 for most of senior year and 40% of those are 18 for most of senior year, and you can't forget those who got held back a grade or started school late too. I just say Kindergarten is 5 & 6, 1st grade is 6 & 7, 2nd grade is 7 & 8, 3rd grade is 8 & 9, 4th grade is 9 & 10, junior year is 16 & 17, senior year is 17 & 18, etc.

IMO age 18 is the peak of someone's interest in mainstream pop culture which is senior year of high school and freshman year in college (subtract 10 years then age 8 is peak childhood). Age 14-22 is the peak of your interest in pop culture which are your high school and college years. Age 11-13 are your early years while age 23-25 are your late years. I see people in their late 20's doing silly things on snapchat  ;D

lol you know why! ::)

Please help me understand why :).

I agree.  People born in the late '90s have virtually no ties to '90s childhood culture.  I would say 1993-borns are the last people who can claim to be '90s kids.

Early 93 imo.
The second half of 93 I guess, could say they are partial. But the 2011 class in general are the last, yes!

Well some of them are late 90s kids.

Partially... They had more peak years in the early 00s.

EVERYBODY born during the Clinton years are 2000's kids!

Yup! :)  But for some reason they just don't want to accept it... :(

Before anyone flames me.....I'm just kidding about the '90s kid thing.

1993 & 1994 are barely hybrids, but they obviously lean a lot more towards early 2000's. I consider 1993-2001 as the main 2000's kid group with 1992 and 2002 being hybrids, but if I had to pick between a 1992 or 2002 born being more of a 2000's kid, I'd obviously choose the 1992 born since they know the 2000's decade in its entirety and they were in 2nd grade when 2000 started, making them the first kids to spend the majority of their elementary school years in the 2000's opposed to the 90's. A 2002 born can only remember the late 2000's and they barely qualify since they were only in 1st grade when Obama came in office and the culture was changing into 2010's rapidly. A 2002 born either had an equal amount of childhood in the late 2000's/early 2010's or more in the early 2010's.

BTW, long time no see Maqruis! :)

Yea we know! ;D ;)

Thank God...;D.

Same here. For the time I've been in K-12, I have known people who were born early as January/February of a previous year along with folks born late as November/December of their respective graduation class.
That's because CA had a late cutoff of December, so it was common seeing fall born folks in their original class.

That's a nearly 2-year difference. Crazy.

1993 & 1994 are barely hybrids, but they obviously lean a lot more towards early 2000's. I consider 1993-2001 as the main 2000's kid group with 1992 and 2002 being hybrids, but if I had to pick between a 1992 or 2002 born being more of a 2000's kid, I'd obviously choose the 1992 born since they know the 2000's decade in its entirety and they were in 2nd grade when 2000 started, making them the first kids to spend the majority of their elementary school years in the 2000's opposed to the 90's. A 2002 born can only remember the late 2000's and they barely qualify since they were only in 1st grade when Obama came in office and the culture was changing into 2010's rapidly. A 2002 born either had an equal amount of childhood in the late 2000's/early 2010's or more in the early 2010's.

I agree with you 100%.

BTW, for anyone.....my real name is Shawn :).

You too Eric! The 2010 class is the last one and even then they're extremely borderline. One thing all 90's kids have in common is that all of them graduated throughout the 2000's decade. 1992 born's graduated in 2010 which was a deacde when most 2000's kids graduated, but that makes sense because they're even hybrids at best. 1991 born's (Class of 2009) are the last REAL 90's kids, since they were 8 in 1999 and in 3rd grade from 1999-2000.

Your post is definitely accurate, but I will say that the 1991-94 folks all pretty much grew up the same way. All of us remember Pokemania like it was yesterday while we watched CN's Powerhouse and Nick's SA.


That's a nearly 2-year difference. Crazy.
I know. This state is notorious for that. To put things in perspective, I knew a few December 1991 folks in the C/O 2011 (they began late and were held back) and I knew a December 1994 person in the class of 2012 (her Bday was literally one day before the cutoff which used to be Dec. 3rd. Now it's September).

I think teen culture in the '00s is better divided into halves than early/mid/late.

2000-2004ish: A&F, Hollister, AE, short hair on guys, no beards, shaved legs, Eminem, r&b, dial-up or early broadband adopter, pre-flip phones, homophobia, 6th gen consoles or PC

2004ish-early 2009: Emo/scene, skinny jeans, long hair on guys w/swoop, broadband, MySpace, RAZR phones, ringtone rap, early YouTube, increased LGBT acceptance, 7th gen consoles


It's more like:

1999-2003

2003-2006

2006-2010

Being gay in high school in the early '00s was still no easy task.  Some of it may have depended on geographic location, but it was still quite a homophobic culture.  I did like the guys fashion back then though.

Great piece you wrote there. But IMO the 2008 class used to strike me as the last LEGIT ones. Since they were 8 in 1998, which means they were at their all time peak during the last year before the 1999 shift.(Pokemon, Batman Beyond, Digimon, Cartoon Cartoon Fridays etc.) and were 5th graders during the 2000-2001 season. But overall you are right about the 2009 class.
And due to my interactions with them the 2011 class ALWAYS struck me as the VERY last ones due to them being the last 00s teens and seeing how the interacted with me and conducted themselves.

Your post is definitely accurate, but I will say that the 1991-94 folks all pretty much grew up the same way. All of us remember Pokemania like it was yesterday while we watched CN's Powerhouse and Nick's SA.

You might want to add 95 as well. Due having that same expirence

I lived in the most left-wing city in Canada and it was very homophobic, even if gay marriage was finally legalized in June 2003 (due to the Supreme Court though, support for the decision was like ~30%). It was definitely an era thing.

I'm not gay or anything, but one day a little after 2004 I got a question asking if I was gay and I said yes ;D :-[

There was more acceptance of LGBT communities around the Silicon Valley (where I live) in the early 00's but you still heard stuff like "that's so gay" and other more insensitive jokes. My experience is a lot different than Chris' though. I remember you telling me once that it was so bad in your area that men were seen as "gay" if they wore sleeves that were shorter than elbow length. In my area, during the 80's, 90's and early 00's, baggy t shirts with elbow length sleeves were just a style; nobody made fun of you if you wore fitted attire with shorter sleeves. That's a harsh environment you had to put up with.

Every once in a while in school....some of us act gay in order to be funny. The thing is that all of us are straight ;D.

I agree that Class of '07 were mid-00's teens.

'93ers are (very) late '90s/early 2000s kids, mid-2000s tweens, and late 2000s/(very) early 2010s teens. Fin. ;D

Oh. You're right. You all definitely remember Pokemania, PowerHouse, and Nick SA.

Maybe 1996 too. Since Pokemania lasted until 2001, someone born in 1996 could possibly remember it from when they were 5. machine_hed has a coworker born in 96 and vouches to him participating in Pokemania.

And they definitely remember Powerhouse CN and Silver age Nick.

Not everybody though, and it's not like people stay the same age for the whole school year. Here in Georgia kids must have turned 5 before September 1st in order to enter Kindergarten. I get that the majority of the people are 17 their senior year, but it's more like 60% of those are 17 for most of senior year and 40% of those are 18 for most of senior year, and you can't forget those who got held back a grade or started school late too. I just say Kindergarten is 5 & 6, 1st grade is 6 & 7, 2nd grade is 7 & 8, 3rd grade is 8 & 9, 4th grade is 9 & 10, junior year is 16 & 17, senior year is 17 & 18, etc.

True, a lot of people are 18 years old when they graduated high school. But most just turned 18 years old and will associate that age with leaving high school and beginning their real lives. I personally felt the same at age 18 as I did ages 19-20. It wasn't until age 21 that I felt less like an adolescent and more like a young adult. You just turned 21 years old or are about to, yes? I'm curious to know if you feel any different.

Looks like he could be a wrestler

I agree that Class of '07 were mid-00's teens.

You 07 and 08 classes were probably the peak of the 00s teens imo.

Looks like he could be a wrestler


He is. That's Brock Lesnar.

Maybe 1996 too. Since Pokemania lasted until 2001, someone born in 1996 could possibly remember it from when they were 5. machine_hed has a coworker born in 96 and vouches to him participating in Pokemania.

And they definitely remember Powerhouse CN and Silver age Nick.

Yeah, early 96ers probably.

You 07 and 08 classes were probably the peak of the 00s teens imo.


They were peak Gen Y/Millennial too.

He is. That's Brock Lesnar.

Ah, that explains it.

I've never watched wrestling so I couldn't identify a single wrestler for the life of me. ;D

He is. That's Brock Lesnar.

GTFO here with that bruh!! ;D :D

Maybe 1996 too. Since Pokemania lasted until 2001, someone born in 1996 could remember it well from when they were 5. machine_hed has a coworker born in 96 and vouches to him participating in Pokemania.


To me, the golden age of Pokemon will always be 1998-2003. Pokemania may have been 1999-2001 but 1998-2003 was Pokemon's prime in everything (video games, TV show, cards). Even when Pokemon reruns were on CN in 2002 & 2003 I consider that part of its peak as well.

Ah, that explains it.

I've never watched wrestling so I couldn't identify a single wrestler for the life of me. ;D

That's Nick Lachey not Brock Lesnar ;D.

No, I'm 100% sure that's Brock Lesnar.

True on that. I will say however that men are handsome and there's nothing wrong with that.

Well you're right. They could. Pokemania did last for 2 years.

I'm not. That's a young Brock Lesnar. The resemblance is too close for it to be someone else.

That's Nick Lachey ;D.

I wonder what did you think of the 2010(if you went to HS with them) and 2011 classes?! :-\\
How did you relate to them? How did they compare with those that came later?! :o

Lol I opened the page and the first thing I  saw was the image, and I thought "Wait, that's Brock Lesnar?!" ;D

I turned 21 in February.


What's it like being a "real adult" now? :)

But yeah, I guess we will have to disagree. I can't even begin to describe how different I felt at age 18 knowing that the nightmare known as high school would soon be in the rear-view mirror for good and that I was about to get a brand new, clean slate of a start.

To me, my teenage years felt like they were winding down at age 17. Definitely a core teenage year, but certainly not peak (like ages 15-16) because you're already thinking about post-HS life.

No, I just see a young Brock Lesnar compared to his older self.

Well, for me these 6 months have been a real interesting, but tough experience for me so far.
But It's been a more carfree, laid back and relaxed enviornment. I haven't felt that way in a looooong time. :) :) :) I can't wait till what 22 brings me this fall. :o

It's a weird feeling, right? Equally scary and exciting at the same time. Make the most out of it... I didn't.

No way! ;D

My late teens and early 20's were some of the best times of my life but even in my 30's, I still try to enjoy and make the most out of every day I'm alive. I see a lot of people around my age becoming grumpier and jaded and I try not to allow that to happen to me. It's unfortunate to see.

I graduated when I was 17 and a half, so yeah, it felt more "young adult" than 14-16's pure adolescence. I don't attach much importance to my teenage years though, you won't hear me saying "rah rah late 2000s teen!!"  :-X 18-24 have been more defining for my youth years. ;D

No way! ;D

I came pretty close to doing so ;).

Anyways, back to the teens discussion. The Late 2000s teens, due to my interaction with them(I went to HS with a couple of them) struck me as EASILY the most annoying of the bunch by far. This group just loved to brag about being in their peak childhoods during the late 90s.


Maybe it's because they were the ones who thought the 90s was the coolest decade ever, even though no one back in 2007-2009 ever cared for the late 90s.

Arctic Fox metnioned this in his 2010s teens video, so I figure I should share it in the 2000s thread.

Also, perhaps the biggest divider between early 2000s teens and mid 2000s teens BAR NONE is that early 2000s teens were in high school for either all or most of the early portion of the decade. Mid 2000's teens, on the other hand, were still children, being in middle school or even elementary school during the early 2000s. Not only are mid 2000's teens, 90's kids, but they're also early 2000's kids as well. :o :o :o  It's amazing what 1-2 years apart in age can do to you.
So regarding the 2006 Class, not only are they the first mid 00s teens, but they're also technically the first 00s kids as well. :o :D Mind-blowing when you think about that, especially considering how their attitudes can be, as I've seen it here on the internet and have even seen it in my own family a little bit.
It also explains how they're the ELDEST ones I can relate to as close friends, as well. :o


I never really saw much of a difference between the Class of 2005 and the Class of 2006, honestly. As I said, I've always felt that 1986-88 borns are all sort of "hybrid" early '00s and mid '00s teens.

To expand a bit further, 1988 babies turned 13 in 2001 and started high school in 2002-03, the last early '00s school year. They would've only still been a "child" during 2000, which was the last year of the Clinton administration and really no different than 1998 and 1999 from a cultural standpoint. They are also likely the last birth year to get into Nu Metal in a big way, as it was still quite popular when they were 13-14. 1988 is the last year to have the majority of their high school career (2002-03, 2003-04 and 2004-05 school years) before social media really took off, and while MySpace was popular in their senior year, they graduated before either Twitter or YouTube had a chance to really take off, and mostly experienced those things (along with Facebook) during their college years. If you feel that you can relate to 1988ers, then you should be able to relate decently to 1987ers, and even some 1986ers, as well.

To me, the Class of 2007, or those born in 1989, is where there is a larger change. They were the first group not to start high school in the early '00s, and had their senior year in 2006-07, which was the first school year in which MySpace, YouTube, flip-phones and iPods were all ubiquitous among teenagers. They are also the first to graduate from high school in the late '00s. I see 1989ers as the first people that are 100% mid '00s teens.

It's just like how 1999 born's are 100% core 2010's teens. They've been in high school right in the center of this decade.

Every once in a while in school....some of us act gay in order to be funny. The thing is that all of us are straight ;D.


I have never understood why people do this.  It can also come across as very offensive to somebody who is struggling with their sexuality.  It seems to mostly happen in environments that are more homophobic, but not always.  Why is homosexuality such a laughing matter to so many straight people?

I think it's because some of them grew up that way. Whether it came from their parents, their religion, or whatever.

Yes and it totally sucks being a "core" 2010s teen (only being a "core" 2000s teen is worst, IMO).

Honestly, I would rather be a core 2000s teen than being a core 2010s teen. Even though I already said it in a previous post, since I barely had any interest with pop culture in this decade.

Well,  one factor is what NewYorkRaven said and another is just the fact that we aren't gay....so pretending in a silly way to be gay is just funny. I can definitely see how you can find it to be offensive.

Well I thought you did.  :-\\

Nah fam.

And I would barely have any interest in the pop culture of the 2000s....bleh 8-P.


I really don't think '00s pop culture is that bad in hindsight. Sure, there was plenty of crap (like Nickleback, Laffy Taffy, etc.), but every decade has it's share of crap. Remember, the '90s gave us this.

Crazy Frog was kinda better, but it wasn't one of the greatest songs the 2000s had to offer.

;D I gotcha.

It's a subjective thing to say. I don't think it's one of my favorite songs, but it's better to listen to in my opinion.

Neither song is good to listen to but "Crazy Frog" is slightly worse.

Well, it was a weak trend. I don't think a lot of people remember it, so you have a point.

The 2000s was the worst decade to be a teen, IMO :-X :-X :-X.

Lol. I could say the 1990s was a horrible decade to be a teen or this decade of teens but since I was not paying attention to teens at the time same thing should go for those who weren't teens of the '00s.

It's true :).

These teens of today are annoying. Plus bad music. Trap  8-P

Well I agree that trap rap is garbage. However, teens have always been annoying ;).

I never really saw much of a difference between the Class of 2005 and the Class of 2006, honestly. As I said, I've always felt that 1986-88 borns are all sort of "hybrid" early '00s and mid '00s teens.

To expand a bit further, 1988 babies turned 13 in 2001 and started high school in 2002-03, the last early '00s school year. They would've only still been a "child" during 2000, which was the last year of the Clinton administration and really no different than 1998 and 1999 from a cultural standpoint. They are also likely the last birth year to get into Nu Metal in a big way, as it was still quite popular when they were 13-14. 1988 is the last year to have the majority of their high school career (2002-03, 2003-04 and 2004-05 school years) before social media really took off, and while MySpace was popular in their senior year, they graduated before either Twitter or YouTube had a chance to really take off, and mostly experienced those things (along with Facebook) during their college years. If you feel that you can relate to 1988ers, then you should be able to relate decently to 1987ers, and even some 1986ers, as well.

To me, the Class of 2007, or those born in 1989, is where there is a larger change. They were the first group not to start high school in the early '00s, and had their senior year in 2006-07, which was the first school year in which MySpace, YouTube, flip-phones and iPods were all ubiquitous among teenagers. They are also the first to graduate from high school in the late '00s. I see 1989ers as the first people that are 100% mid '00s teens.

Sigh,  I was not going by birth years, I was going by classes....  :-\\


And To be fair machine... I was going by Arctic's defintion of the eras teens. To him the 2016 class were the first mid 10s teens, the 1996 class were the first mid 90s teens and so the SAME should apply to 2006 class being the first mid 00s teens. It's that simple.  :(

No worries. I was extremely bored this morning when I typed out that marathon post, so it was really just a way to kill some time. ;)

Just to be clear, Class of 2006 is a mid 2000s class, as they spent 3 of their 4 high school years in the mid '00s. Hell, us Class of 2005ers are a partial mid '00s class too, since we spent half of our high school career in the mid '00s. I was just saying that I think the Class of 2007 is the first class that are 100% mid '00s teens.

I think teen culture in the '00s is better divided into halves than early/mid/late.

2000-2004ish: A&F, Hollister, AE, short hair on guys, no beards, shaved legs, Eminem, r&b, dial-up or early broadband adopter, pre-flip phones, homophobia, 6th gen consoles or PC

2004ish-early 2009: Emo/scene, skinny jeans, long hair on guys w/swoop, broadband, MySpace, RAZR phones, ringtone rap, early YouTube, increased LGBT acceptance, 7th gen consoles

I'm going with you on this one. This is where the thirds system gets confusing and even frustrating. Honestly, the C/O 2000-04 had the same HS experience in some way while 2005-09 had their own and vice versa.

Yup you're correct my friend, that is indeed true they are indeed the peak of the mid teens! :)

I mostly agree with your assessment; 1986-88ers are the only pure 90s "kids" in the most literal sense. But even 88ers had some experiences more characteristic of 1989-90ers. Being in middle school on 9/11 is an obvious one, as well as still being an elementary schooler during the start of the Y2K era (1998-99 school year). People also seem to underestimate the shift that occurred from 2005-06... Wikipedia/YouTube/Myspace as well as the very first signs of the impending financial crisis. To me, the 2004-05 school year was the absolute zenith of the skater/punk/tomboy culture that marked 2002-05.

Overall, 1988 is best grouped with 1986/1987, but with some minor caveats. As a 91er, I feel the same dynamic between 1991 and 1989/1990.

I'm going with you on this one. This is where the thirds system gets confusing and even frustrating. Honestly, the C/O 2000-04 had the same HS experience in some way while 2005-09 had their own and vice versa.


Eh, I disagree.

The class of 2000, born in 1982, had a completely different experience than those born four years later. I don't think you can compare HS in the late 90s to high school in the early 00s. Even the class of 2001, born in 1983, graduated before 9/11.

To a greater point, I've always seen 86ers as the first of a newer brand of Millennials, quite distinct from those born in 1984 and even 1985, much less 1982 and 1983. I have cousins born in 1983 and 1986... two totally different vibes.

Class experience should be grouped based on the whole, not just the graduation date. Class of 2000 had high school in the late 90s, not the 2000s as we know it at all. Most of it was pre-Columbine and all of it was in the Clinton era. They graduated before the Bush presidency and before 9/11. They're solidly later 90s teens and in some ways have more in common with Gen X than the rest of the Millennial generation. They don't have as much in common with class of 2004, where most of their high school experience was in the post 9/11 era.

Class of 2005 may have graduated in 05 but they were the last class where non-emo rock was popular and the last class where it was before social media took over everything. Social media changed so many things and many people don't seem to get it. If you compare it to the class of 2009, who had social media the whole time in high school, it's a very different thing.

I really feel as if 1982 should be X/Y cusp rather than just Y. To me, they are the last possible people to be cusps, and it is mostly for the reasons you posted.

Eh, I disagree.

Yup that's also another reason why Class of 2000 and Class of 2001 are the final 90s teens.


and it's interesting how you view 2004 class as distinct from 2002 and 2003 classes.. :o :o :o

I think he only sees eras in thirds, and not in halves.

Well to be fair Arctic was going by classes not the culture itself...

Another quote from boy Arctic... I'll apply it to the 00s teens this time tho.
"Take note, however, that just because a teen fad took place in a certain chronological era doesn't mean that it belongs strictly to those teens. You have to remember that half of Early 2000's teens spent some of their high school years in the mid 2000s as well. Class of 2004 and 2005 were both in high school for a decent part of the mid 2000's. Class of 2006 spent their freshman year in the early 2000's. Try to understand that an early 2010's teen's experience of the mid 2000's will be quite different from that of a mid 2000's teen, and vice versa."

The class of 2000, born in 1982, had a completely different experience than those born four years later. I don't think you can compare HS in the late 90s to high school in the early 00s. Even the class of 2001, born in 1983, graduated before 9/11.

I wonder what you guys think of the Class of 2010 & 2011 and Class of 2014 & 2015 and differences between them?! :o


I also wonder what Encoder thinks of the vibes of 96ers how it compares to 94ers, 95ers, and 92 & 93ers?!

Well to be fair Arctic was going by classes not the culture itself...
Still, he would go by thirds. I haven't seen him use the halves formula.

What are the biggest differences you've noticed?


The biggest difference is simply their respective relationships with the 90s. I think 1983ers are the absolute last bunch to have any sort of Xennial influences, which can be attributed to the fact that their young childhoods were centered around the late 80s and early 90s (e.g. 1988-1992) and their early adolescence the early-mid 90s (e.g. 1992-1995). Accordingly, they were teenagers exclusively in the late 90s and pre-9/11 millennium; they are thoroughly children of the 20th century.

None of those characteristics apply to 1986ers. Let's look at their 'milestone' age years:

Age 13 in 1999
Age 18 in 2004
Age 21 in 2007
Age 30 in 2016

Those ages vis-à-vis those particular years are exemplary of a 100% bona fide Millennial experience.

and it's interesting how you view 2004 class as distinct from 2002 and 2003 classes.. :o :o :o


This is how the classes should be paired (or not paired) based on similarities:

Class of 2000
Class of 2001

Class of 2002
Class of 2003

Class of 2004
Class of 2005

Class of 2006

Good points. Perhaps my views on the 2005-06 school year vs. the 2006-07 school year are blurred a bit because I come from a very rural area. Around here, things like cell phones, iPods, YouTube, MySpace and all of that were slower to take off, and hadn't really become fully adopted yet in 2005-06. Heck, a lot of folks (including me) actually still had dial-up internet until 2006. The fact that most of that stuff didn't really become universal until 2006-07 might skew my view on things a bit, compared to if I'd gone to school in a larger city.

For what it's worth, to me, you 1991ers are the last of the true "peak" Gen Y people. Starting high school in 2005-06, the last fully mid '00s school year, and beginning your senior year in 2008-09 with Bush still in office and with early '10s culture not having begun to fully emerge yet is the key. My brother was born in 1991, and even though he's four years younger than me, we basically grew up with the same stuff. There is a bit of a difference when it comes to childhood (he's more of a late '90s/early '00s kid, whereas I'm more of a mid-to-late '90s kid), but our adolescent experiences in terms of what pop culture we liked as teens lines up almost exactly perfect. You guys are the youngest in my individual "tribe" that I feel I can relate the best to, which is roughly 1983-1991.

Yeah Shawn... what Rex stated above caught me off guard :o :-\\ . Cause Arctic Fox, Marquis and me all agreed that the 2016 class struck us as different than the class that came right before them. Arctic himself even said"I thought Class of 2016 was very different from the graduating class just right above them. These kids were weird, snarky, crude, and somewhat apathetic. Not to criticize them or anything, it's just what I observed from their behavior."

Yeah, I agree with that, lol. Personally to me, really the only notable difference us (the Class of 2017) and the Class of 2016 is that most members of the Class of 2016 (born late 1997 until mid 1998) could vote legally in the 2016 Presidential Election while most of us in the Class of 2017 (born late 1998 until mid 1999) couldn't.

Yep... that's about it! ;D
Also, You guys are both mid 10s teens, but you guys are just the peak ones.

That's true. The most exciting Presidential election our whole lives was the 2008 one without a question. I wished I was old enough to vote for the Obama vs. McCain election.

It's Trump's fault, he's encouraged them to be this way.

Yes, that would have been great. We would have been born November 4, 1990 or earlier in order for that to have happened.

At my school I actually enjoyed Class of 2016 better than 2015 because I got along with more people in the 2016 class than 2015  ;D

However, pop culturally and when it came to interests I noticed a huge attitude change between 2015 and 2016.

How about the Class of 2015 vs Class of 2017? :-\\

How about the Class of 2015 vs Class of 2017? :-\\


To me, they're mostly different. The Class of 2015 started Kindergarten around 2002, while the Class of 2017 started Kindergarten two years later. 1997 babies were mostly mid 2000s kids with some early and late '00s influences, while 1999 babies were mid-late 2000s kids.

Not that different to me but....what you said is not false.

If I was just born one stinking year earlier I would have voted TWICE!!! >:( :(


I got to vote in 5 elections so far while my cousin and brother born a year after me in '94 only got to vote in 3. You had to be born in May 1993 to be the last to get to vote for Jack Layton (popular socialist politician in Canada during the Great Recession, RIP). I brag about it all the time; they missed out. ;D

I got to vote in 5 elections so far while my cousin and brother born a year after me in '94 only got to vote in 3.

Which was the first election that you got to vote in? I really mean which PM general election but you can say others as well.

The 2011 federal election was my first election. I voted NDP (social democratic party), but the country went Conservative. Despite that, I was very happy that the NDP got a record 30% of the vote. I was part of the movement, yo!  :D

That's cool. The first nationwide election I'll be able to vote is the 2018 Mid-term election and then the 2020 Presidential Election :D.

The first election I voted in were the 2006 midterm elections. That was so long ago that my precinct was still using paper ballots. They had switched over to electronic by 2008, though.

Watch it, Sonny! >:(

Interesting story. Just a few days before I voted from the first time, George W. Bush actually came to the town I live in to give a speech for the Governor of Georgia, who was running for re-election at the time. He was so unpopular at the time that Georgia was one of the few states Bush could still come to to campaign. I went out to the fairgrounds where he spoke and hung out with some of the anti-war protesters that were there holding up signs against the Iraq War. It was an interesting time.

That's pretty cool actually.

If I was just born one stinking year earlier I would have voted TWICE!!! >:( :(
Aw don't feel bad. There were plenty of 1994 folks who couldn't vote in 2012 either due being born in November and December, so they had to wait for the 2014 midterms which I'm sure you voted in.

One of my friends turned 18 on Election Day...he was born on November 8, 1998 (Election Day was Nov. 8, 2016) but he didn't vote because he forgot to register :(.

That's pretty cool actually.


I've actually had a few close encounters with Presidents before. Franklin Roosevelt died in Warm Springs, Georgia, which is less than 2 hours from where I live, Jimmy Carter is from Plains, Georgia, which is less than 10 miles from where I was born, and in 1996 Bill Clinton gave a speech in Macon, Georgia on the same day I was visiting that city with my parents and his motorcade passed right in front of our car.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever seen any Presidents before?

No, I've haven't met any Presidents before but I was invited to Inauguration Day 2017 :).

I personally would NOT forget to register to vote especially with a Presidential Election like 2016.

I've seen Bill Clinton and George W Bush in person.

When and where? (for both).

BTW, your stories are pretty awesome man. You're so lucky 8).


Thanks. Of course, Franklin Roosevelt died forty years before I was born, so that's not really relevant, but I have seen Jimmy Carter in person. Our school took us on field trip to Plains once, and he gave some kind of speech.

That's more impressive than me on the Bill Clinton front. I just saw his car pass in front of ours flanked by about ten thousand police motorcycles.

I obviously know that you didn't meet FDR ;D but that's cool that you met Jimmy Carter and saw Bill's motorcade.

I didn't go to this past Inauguration Day because 1) It cost some bit of money 2) We weren't sure about what would happen if Trump won (and he did :().

That would be a tough situation. I would love to go to a presidential inauguration as a once in a lifetime event, but I'm not a big Donald Trump fan to say the least, so I'm not sure if I would've wanted to go or not.

Agreed!!! That's why everyone needs to be registered for 2020. It's going to be huge.

I've heard that Dan Quayle is considering challenging Donald Trump in the 2020 Republican primaries.

His slogan will be: "I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy - but that could change".

You troll ;D ;D.

I went to a Paul Martin (PM of Canada from 2003-2006) rally when I was 11. My brother got to shake his hand, I was jelly. My dad got to meet him at a fundraiser too.

My mom and my (other) brother went to Jack Layton's (he was like our Bernie Sanders) campaign launch in 2008. I didn't care about him back then, but now I'm super jelly about it. At least I got to vote for him in 2011, unlike my brother.  :-X

Other than that, I've sent a handwritten letter to Justin Trudeau about electoral reform. Hopefully he replies! But most likely I'll be getting a reply from my Liberal MP instead.

Were they confidential though, since they were from the government?

Confidential as in hidden? No, it was sent through the White House email. From Chuck, it was just sent to me :P.

Machinehead: How do you think being the last class to graduate without social media saturation affected you and others in class of 05? I notice a gulf between 1987 and 1989 born Millennials.

Oh. So, were they for a school project or something? I'm not sure how you could get mail from the White House back then.

No, not a school project. This is all within the past year (2016-present).

So you were curious if you could send an email to the president?

Eh, I disagree.

The class of 2000, born in 1982, had a completely different experience than those born four years later. I don't think you can compare HS in the late 90s to high school in the early 00s. Even the class of 2001, born in 1983, graduated before 9/11.

To a greater point, I've always seen 86ers as the first of a newer brand of Millennials, quite distinct from those born in 1984 and even 1985, much less 1982 and 1983. I have cousins born in 1983 and 1986... two totally different vibes.


YOU ARE A F***ING IDIOT.  >:(

So you were curious if you could send an email to the president?

Yes and it also helps that I signed petitions :).

YOU ARE A F***ING IDIOT.  >:(

Woah dude...:o. Calm down.

Oh, another thing! I sent a tweet to my transit agency about building a bus shelter at my bus stop. The winter was really cold that year and I froze my toes off. The following spring it got built! :)

Another time, I took a picture and sent a tweet to my city councillor of an unplowed intersection, it was dangerous to walk through. They remembered to plow it the next day. I felt so millennial, futuristic and civically-engaged on those days.  8)

Yes and it also helps that I signed petitions :).


You get to sign petitions if you send e-mail to the White House? Cool! Too bad our president now is basically less tolerant than Obama, or pretty much any president that we had for the past two and a half centuries.

I don't think Trump reads and replies to mail tbh. If anyone got a reply from him it was definitely from a staffer. You could probably tell from the grammar and the lack of "sad!" :P

Yeah, he'll most likely care about his Twitter than electronic mall of all things. Even for a 70 year old, it doesn't really seem necessary to look up random people's emails that they sent from the server.

I just can't STAND this bs analyzing one year to another it's driving me nuts. There's NO difference between people who are close in age will you people just STFU about this crap already. For years and year it's the same thing god will it ever END. Also I have other problems lately so no I'm not really ok and I'll just leave it at that.

Honestly, it's not my fault for doing this. I feel your pain since all I wanted to do is just talk about the 2000s in a POSITIVE WAY! Every site that I go to basically takes sh*t about the decade, even though I only cherished it because I feel widely nostalgic for it.

I love the 2000s too, but this whole crap that someone born whatever year is different from someone a couple years apart either way, it is complete BS. NOBODY THAT'S CLOSE IN AGE IS NOTICEABLY ANY DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER PERIOD! How many times does that have to be repeated. This idiot was saying he sees "different vibe" between a couple of 30 something guys that are a mere 3 years apart, get real.  ::) Nobody in the normal world sees this different vibe, and this poster is indeed an idiot. Also who cares what's the early, mid and late of a decade? What's the freaking difference?

It was really only one page where people got overly-analytical (on 50 posts per page  :-X).  The rest is about Brock Lesnar and Trump junk mail.

Honestly, I kinda see decades in terms of pop culture, events, etc. If it was about the 2000s in a cultural perspective, then it might be in two halves for me. 2000-early 2007 and mid 2007-2009 respectively. But it was a political perspective, it would mostly be 2001-2009. I do see it a bit with the early, mid, and late parts, but that stuff isn't really important.

YOU ARE A F***ING IDIOT.  >:(


Nicely done.

Although only one opinion, it's based on my personal experience of having a crap ton of older siblings/cousins born in: 1972, 1975, 1976, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, and 1989. I can see where the cultural transitions are, but apparently you think that my view is way too nuanced. LOL.

I kind of just see each year as a bit of it's own thing and there aren't "clear" boundaries between early, mid, late. That is subjective. The only clear boundaries really between two halves 2000-2004 and 2005-2009, though it doesn't really mean anything either except it's the two halves of the 2000-2009 period. The "middle" of something is more of a subjective idea. You could say 2001-2008 is the "middle" of the '00s if you wanted and really someone can't say you're wrong because it is in the middle.

I kinda see it that way as well. Most likely because of my personal experiences. Although I would mostly glue 2000 and 2001 with 2002 because they had similar influences on me. Aside from that, every year probably had a different aspect to me (like you said it). But it mostly came from the pop culture, where I could discover something in a fascinating way since I was only a kid back then.

I think reading all the over-analyzation just drives me insane sometimes. I do have some mental issues so I am prone to get very angry at times and then be fine a few minutes later. I may be bipolar I really don't know. There's also personal issues that are on my mind which is why I flipped out before. Also I've seen this kind of stuff for so many years now on here and being exposed to it for that long causes issues. I guess it's why I try to avoid to come here much anymore but sometimes I can't help it.

I can agree with you that these debates can get pretty tired and pointless very quickly, especially when they involve assigning labels. I also agree that people born just a few years apart are generally not that different from another, but that goes without saying. Clearly many people here are interested in further, detailed analysis. Overall, I think these discussions are fun because of the nostalgia aspect and seeing how closely our shared memories and experiences line up.

Also, although you haven't offered an apology, I'm not looking for one either and hold no resentment toward you.

I understand. I really don't come here too often since some threads could get very repetitive.

At my school I actually enjoyed Class of 2016 better than 2015 because I got along with more people in the 2016 class than 2015  ;D

However, pop culturally and when it came to interests I noticed a huge attitude change between 2015 and 2016.

Yup me too, they were more full of life and less "hard working and serious."
The younger students in the 2016 class also struck me more like younger siblings than 2015 class as well. :o

It's Trump's fault, he's encouraged them to be this way.

Wouldn't blame it on Trump per say, since they're mostly mid 10s teens, but yeah the way they conduct themselves at their colleges, I think that Trump definitely plays a role in that.

Eric...bro answer my question from earlier.

It's funny you say that because while I never went to HS with the class of 2015, I very much get that vibe from the 1997-borns I know and have met. Weird.

The 1994-borns that I've met also seem pretty serious.

Which question?! :o

"What's the difference between the Class of 2015 and Class of 2017?"

It's funny you say that because while I never went to HS with the class of 2015, I very much get that vibe from the 1997-borns I know and have met. Weird.

The 1994-borns that I've met also seem pretty serious.

Wow, even you agreed! :o  So, I guess that's the vibe from nearly every early 10s teens, cynicism...


Also, what do you think of this? There was this one jerkoff back in 2011 on Youtube, around your age( he was born in 1991), talkin all kinds of sh*t about folks he was only a couple of years older than. It was mid 90s born to be exact. He even said crap like Bieber was just a "kid" to him. I'm thinkin Seriously?! ??? ??? ??? It was ridiculous... >:(

Yes and it also helps that I signed petitions :).


Our current president isn't the reading type.  :(

"What's the difference between the Class of 2015 and Class of 2017?"

Simple...
2015 Class were early 10s teens with a mix of mid, they're also mostly mid 00s kids with a mix of early. They're also the final early 10s teens. Oh and they "came of age" in the MID PART of the decade.
2017 Class are the heart of the mid 10s teens, they also maybe the quintessential 10s teens.  They also had their childhood experience during the mid to late 00s. They're "coming of age" right now while this school year has been transitioning to a a late 10s atmosphere.
That's what I came up with... :-\\

Cool and thanks for your assessment. One more....do you think there is a big difference between people like me (1999 borns.....Class of 2017) and 1997 borns (Class of 2015)?

Cool and thanks for your assessment. One more....do you think there is a big difference between people like me (1999 borns.....Class of 2017) and 1997 borns (Class of 2015)

That's tricky... Cause for one, usually when I think of those classes I usually think late 1998-1999 and late 1996-1997 born. ;D ;)
Also, if we're talking culturally speaking, I do not think it's a BIG difference. But there is a difference tho. ;)  Now the 2013 class yeah, ;D  but that's another story for another discussion.  ;)

What do you mean by that? Is that a good thing? :-\\

A GOOD THING because.... you guys were MUCH MUCH more calm, easy going, laid back and relaxed than my main peers at the place. :)

You guys have gotten off-topic analyzing the minuscule differences between the graduating classes of high school, you're making my head hurt.

This thread is supposed to be about 00s teen memories. Anyway here are my memories of being a late 2000s/early 2010s teen:

Not sure why included Super 8 and Hunger Games?! ???  I know its memories of being an early 10s teen too... But this is a 00s teen thread, Just a minor nitpick. ::) ;D

YOU ARE A F***ING IDIOT.  >:(

I was born in '85, my classmates and friends were either '85 or '86 and there was NO distinction between those two birth years other than individual personality traits.  >:(


I just can't STAND this bs analyzing one year to another it's driving me nuts. There's NO difference between people who are close in age will you people just STFU about this crap already. For years and year it's the same thing god will it ever END. Also I have other problems lately so no I'm not really ok and I'll just leave it at that.

I know. It gets old. Classmates who graduate this year or that year aren't all the same age. The older ones could be born a previous year, usually latter half, and the younger ones the year after that. I don't think there's even enough difference between different graduating years close enough together to analyze. I'm sorry, but I can't find significant differences between small age gaps.

Nice updated avatar. I forgot to discuss the new season with you since you came back on this site. It's been lit af! The 2nd episode was my favorite with the Daughters of Aku mixed with the amazing background music (sorry for getting off topic).


The second and third episodes have been my favorites from the fifth season.

I love the 2000s too, but this whole crap that someone born whatever year is different from someone a couple years apart either way, it is complete BS. NOBODY THAT'S CLOSE IN AGE IS NOTICEABLY ANY DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER PERIOD! How many times does that have to be repeated. This idiot was saying he sees "different vibe" between a couple of 30 something guys that are a mere 3 years apart, get real.  ::) Nobody in the normal world sees this different vibe, and this poster is indeed an idiot. Also who cares what's the early, mid and late of a decade? What's the freaking difference?


Oooooh  :o I love your attitude Brian, and I completely agree with you on the age thing. Sometimes I have to watch my bad habits as well when I get in these discussions. I only post on whatever thread I see and enjoy myself on here. Whenever I create threads here once in a while it's gonna be interesting for everybody to chat. (not these type of threads I never create those)

I was born in '87 and have cousins born in '85 and '89 among others and I am close to both of them and notice zero different vibe when talking to either. Another cousin was born in '83 and his wife was born in '86, I don't notice any difference between them. The whole "is there a difference between mid '80s and late '80s babies?" "what is the difference between someone born in 1985 and 1990?" types of posts and discussion really need to end NOW. Those along with the "when does such and such generation begin and end and "what is the early, core and late part of whatever generation?" need to go in the trash heap where they belong.

Get on the users who keep creating those same type of threads over and over again. Not the ones who are in the discussion although I agree we should try to avoid the discussions as well. It's best to ignore the threads altogether and they'll stop, but if we keep feeding onto them then they'll keep making them over and over again. I would hate to report on certain users to the moderators but I don't want to get to that point myself if it gets out of hand. There's only one time I had to report to the moderators (I think we all remember that user last year).

Oh, I thought this thread was supposed to be about discussing how people that started high school in the early '00s are way cooler than people that started high school in the late '00s...

I guess I misread things. ;)

You act like we're offended, but we're not. It is known that the second half of the 2000s were trash.  :-X (except 2009)

I guess late 2000s teen did have better fashion, TV shows and movies though. *let the flame wars begin*

Alright, even if I give you guys fashion, TV shows and movies, we still had Limp Bizkit during their "Chocolate Starfish" prime. Mic-drop! 8)

Oh yeah, Fred Durst is slammin'. 8)

Back in those days we had KoRn, Nickelback, Creed, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Godsmack, Sw1tched, Puddle of Mudd and Powerman 5000 in their prime. Modern rock has never been better!

Paper bags and plastic hearts
All our belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and ride around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

As I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor
And I can't help but to hear

"And yes, but what a shame, what a shame
The poor groom's bride is a whore"~~~~ </3 </3 X3 dear diary~~~~~

Makes me glad I stopped paying attention 4 years into the 00's.

Well, I know they're not discussed on here; however, trust me. They're worse than anything about generations. Some folks have died from just even having debates about them.

I agree. Vindicated is one of my high school era guilty pleasures. I don't know if I should even admit this publicly, but I even still kinda like Sugar We're Goin' Down by Fall Out Boy. It's just soooo catchy! :-[

Frankly, I think he's a little jealous that he was born in 1982 and was already out of high school by the time the mid '00s really cranked up. Just think, if he'd been born five or six years later, he could've been in his pop cultural prime during the Hot Topic era. 8)

I spend my waking moments wishing I was born in the early 90's. Then I could be a teenager when MySpace and Hawthrone Heights were the big things and I could end my posts with little "~~~ dear diary X3 :S </3" like they used to do in 2003.

Yes, they are. Every time there's a discussion about those topics, they tend to be toxic.

What?! On this board? This is one of the least toxic boards I've been on. I dunno why you'd support talking about dumber topics, anyway. It's better to take on more intellectual discussions about challenging topics that make you think rather than talk about the same stupid emotionally biased discussions about when "generrashun xqwerty" ended which often are more rooted in either the posters need to feel like a "proper" human by being in the "more superior generation than the next one" or by some weird need for reassurance by shoving their views in everyone's face by posting long charts detailing birth dates and god knows what else.

Not this board. I mean other ones, and the superiority complex applies to everything, not just generations. For example:

"Men are better than women. They are inferior"

"Asians are better than whites in English. We're smarter and they're dumb"

Those are pretty much superior.

I agree though that intellectual discussions are much better and we have had some than just anything about generations.

What do other boards have to do with this? I don't know any prominent members on this board who believe totally extremist absolute views like you've shown above. When it comes to more serious discussions, most people here seem to hold more moderate views and, if not that, than are at least open minded and accepting. Repeating the same discussions about generations over and over again in circles is dumb and really does nothing for the site's community. What's been said in recent times on this board is stuff that's already been tired out ages ago. It's the same thing over and over were you guys will assert yourselves as the "fact bringers" and have a pissing contest over who has the "most facts" about something that's so subjective like generations. Most of the arguments are pure conjecture, too. "1991 is different than 1993 because I know some people and they act different and didn't grow up with pokemon", "1987 is when millennials turned into turds because in 2007 every last one of them liked emo", "kid culture in 2001 was this and this which is something 1995 borns experienced at the mall when we still shopped there before Nickelodeon took down their bumpers and brought us into the Z generation which 1999 borns didn't experience." Not only are the vapid arguments filled with conjecture and no real substance, the debates are full of generational boundaries with the most convoluted logic that  try to pin it down to the absolute millisecond just to be anal retentive. Bringing up what you believe "is much worse" doesn't solve the problem, either. You're promoting complacency for no reason at all.

"1991 is different than 1993 because I know some people and they act different and didn't grow up with pokemon", "1987 is when millennials turned into turds because in 2007 every last one of them liked emo", "kid culture in 2001 was this and this which is something 1995 borns experienced at the mall when we still shopped there before Nickelodeon took down their bumpers and brought us into the Z generation which 1999 borns didn't experience." Not only are the vapid arguments filled with conjecture and no real substance, the debates are full of generational boundaries with the most convoluted logic that  try to pin it down to the absolute millisecond just to be anal retentive. Bringing up what you believe "is much worse" doesn't solve the problem, either. You're promoting complacency for no reason at all.
Well you thought I said that those types of discussions were on this board, but I said no. That's why the other boards were mentioned. OTT, I agree that these topics can get tiring and we all should move on, but that's difficult to do. Some people here have an interest in those subjects while others don't.

Those quoted statements though are the worst I've seen here, and on other sites. They're the reason why arguments break out quickly.

Wait a minute, I thought you were the one who first introduced the "post-1987 Millennials suck" theory? ???

That was The Early 90's Guy. I just took his theory and used it as a method of trollage. 8) :P

I said that people should have more discussions about other topics that don't involve generations. It's really not that difficult if you have a wide variety of interests. There's no excuse. Honeslty, you're one-dimensional and can't talk about anything else but "generation y and the closing down of malls in late 2006/2008" then you (not you-you, just in general, so you don't misinterpret) really need to go outside and get another hobby.

Arguments are a part of life. We shouldn't avoid things just because they might get ugly. If they do head in that direction, then one should learn how to deal with those situations tactfully.

I believe it's the post-1987 millennials who shut down the Sam Goody stores in late 2006! >:(

Oh, I know. It's best to have diversity on this site; however, there are threads I have made you can check out if you want about other subjects.

Yeah, that user is an A-hole.

Early 90s Guy was very condescending towards me >:( but he did apologize to me.

I'll probably stop by that cool nudity thread again! 8)


Yeah, that user is an A-hole.


He's apologized for that theory and his previous outbursts and toned it down a lot. I wouldn't say he's that bad of a guy; just has some different theories about decades that most people don't agree with.

Man, if Sam Goody could've just made it two more years, then Obama could've gotten the blame for shutting them down instead of us! :\'(

Obama could of been the blame for a lot of things but nope, late 2006 had to ruin all hope for this world.

Things to blame for post-1987 millennials for:

- Sam Goody shutting down
- The decline of mall attendance in 'Merica
- TV show bumpers changing
- Malcolm in the Middle's ending
- MySpace

Well i'm glad he did. That was an example of superiority complex. I will say he has some weird theories though that don't make any sense. ;D ::)

True, but he's an... interesting guy all altogether, anyway. I've never met anyone else with the same ideas but more power to him if he's comfortable with standing alone with his beliefs.


Really? ;) ;D ::)


As you see, the proof is rock solid.

Oh yes. Trump is the god-emperor master! #HIGHENERGY #MOTHERSBASEMENT

I was born in '85, my classmates and friends were either '85 or '86 and there was NO distinction between those two birth years other than individual personality traits.  >:(
I know. It gets old. Classmates who graduate this year or that year aren't all the same age. The older ones could be born a previous year, usually latter half, and the younger ones the year after that. I don't think there's even enough difference between different graduating years close enough together to analyze. I'm sorry, but I can't find significant differences between small age gaps.

Nice to see ya again Katana! :)  Long time no see. ;)

Don't tell me that you're a moronic libtard? ::)
Nope. I'm the real deal. :D ;D. I'm an authentic liberal, not the fakes you seen running out the streets.

The worst are the CUCKservatives like (((Jared Kushner))) who keep letting ISIS get what they want and undermining real Americans. They should be all lined up and SHOT in the head!! These deep state officials with their subversive influence are the reason why Trump is not popular anymore, but I still believe in him. He's a smart man he'll do the right thing.

Child labor laws in the US make it difficult to cast ACTUAL teens to play teenage characters.

Superbad is the best teen movie of the 2000s. Those were my teenage years. :-X
