Honestly, why do we always see late 2006 hoarding up the boards for a while? At first it started to be a joke from the2001, but now it's really starting to be obnoxious. What makes it a shift aside from The WB rebranding as The CW with UPN. It's not like everybody watched The WB for its duration, especially since it wasn't as well known as other network channels. They're basically like PBS, except the government and public affiliations don't fund their shows.

the whole 2006 thing is a meme now, But I noticed for alot of people on this site 2006 was like a changing year.
CW, ps3,wii replaceing ps2, gamecube, Facebook creeping in slowly, WWE raw changing its theme and logo

Frankly, I feel like the only person who doesn't feel like 2006 was a changing year. I don't know if it has to deal with me being born in 1999 or that I think 2009 was more transitional than 2006 imo.

it could be because you were born in 1999, your earliest memorys had to been around 2003/ 2004/2005 ,
from about 1998-2006 it was considered one era with mini changes to it,  1998-2001 teen pop, 2003-2006
emo,myspace etc, all withen this same main era, to alot of people all of the shifts that happened in 2006 ended it.

Wow that last pic hit me. I remember people dressing like that. It was pretty fun! :D

I used to dress like the male version of what that girl in the middle is going for haha. Matching those late 2000s elementary colours, red (or other bright colour) and black, and a giving a punk/rockstar spin to it 8) It makes me a bit nostalgic.

My earliest memories were from 2002 actually.

Those pics brings back a ton of memories and it's just how I remembered 2006 :D.

Late 2006 was actually pretty good despite what people say!
Sure it was no 2005, but who cares.

I have never cared about what others think about 2006 or any other 2000s year....those pics from 2006 just bring a rush of nostalgia.

I agree. It's not like everybody had the same perspective of every 2000s year. Hell, I can't even remember 2000 and 2001 because of how young I was during the early 2000s. It doesn't really matter since I really care more about my own nostalgia bias (or those who are as old as me), not any other kind of nostalgia bias.

Same here.

thats prob why you did not feel the shift as much

2006 was a changeful year, but not as much as 2008 and 2009.  There was a notable difference though between the 2005-06 school year and the 2006-07 year.  The 2005-06 year, to me, didn't seem that different from the early '00s.

Great pictures by the way.  I really miss that world.

Same here. Most of the stuff that I saw from late 2004 to mid 2006 was not that different compared to the early 2000s.

THIS!

Thank you so much for this quote. This is why I really get annoyed when someone says that late 2006 is more transitional than 2008/2009.

Yeah this definitely screams 2006 ;D

These kids are my class!  ;D  ;D  8)  8)  8)

This is a bit more modern-looking than late 2004.... would be interesting to see photo albums from 2008, and 2000/2001....

Wow, things have definitely changed aesthetically since 11 years ago. These photos make it slightly easier for me to accept the fact that 2006 is halfway back to the beginning of my cinematic memories. Their rendering seems dated, and the clothing...wow, I forgot how much better both men and women looked back then.

I know right? Those pictures make 2006 feel more distant to 2017 than I originally thought. Choice of clothing was different along with the fact that trends overall seemed different. Also still surprised it has been 11 years at this point. Also I'm surprised on how dated the emo look seems now.

Senior year was fun as hell. Too bad I was dealing with so many stuff that I couldn't enjoy it as much! I took a coding class and we made websites and pages in that class. Fun as heck.

I still have most my clothes from early 2007, so I know exactly how at least I dressed back then.  :D

I was a freshman. A n00b, as they used to say.  :-[

It looks exactly like the 2005 photos. No shifts here.

I think the third one (with the entire class) and the last pic look distinctly late 2000s. The first one could've been in 2008 or 2009, I'd be surprised if that were 2004/2005. The last one could be 2005 (late 2005), but more 2007/2008 looking, if I had to guess.

What exactly looks late 00's about it? I can't tell the difference.

All the pictures look very 2006 to me. I have pictures from 2006 and they look very similar to the ones shown here but I don't want to share them online :P.

What exactly looks late 00's about it? I can't tell the difference.


The third one has a lot of bright neon colours, which were more of a 2007-2013 trend from what I remember. The jeans and clothes are also slimmer instead of baggy. Actually, it looks like they're all intentionally wearing blue for some event. I think it might be Autism Awareness Day?

The last one just plain looks late 2000s. No other way to describe it. A Paramore music video ;D I think it's the colours and the colour matching.

Bright neon colors were a huge thing in the very late 90s and early 2000s. Whenever I think of that stretch of time, I immediately think of shiny, flashy, bright, colorful outfits that matched the tone of the culture of the time. The vibrant colors have definitely declined since the mid-2010s, however.

I think neon was popular among women in the early 2000s, with the sequins (sp?). I'm not sure about neon on guys.

Why don't you write a book on pop culture? You're know so much about it. You probably know more about it than anyone on here.  :D

When I hear about late 2006.....

Come to think of it, I did have bright clothing in the early and mid 2000s. Normally I'd just wear jeans or khakis with a black, gray, or drab green or brown shirt. But in the early 2000s, I decided to go clothes shopping for a new wardrobe, and since I don't keep up much with fashion, brought my sister, who loves shopping, to help me. She picked out most things: a lot of collared, button up shirts in colors like yellow, orange, and light blue, with white in them too. It's hard to describe the pattern, but they looked nice on me in a casual and fun way. They weren't neon, but it was the most colorfully I'd dressed since the late 80s and early 90s when my mom picked out my clothes and neon was in style.

I probably dressed like a lot of other people of the time in the early to mid 2000s, since my sister has a more up to date sense of style than I do.

In fact, just a few months ago I was wondering why I don't dress as colorfully anymore, and why other people don't wear bright colors either, and thought the times just don't seem to match that look anymore.

Also, nowadays I see a lot of beards, even Duck Dynasty beards, and flannel.

Has there been a beard Renaissance in the 2010s? I feel like if the photos on this thread were from today, half the guys would have beards. What's the deal with all these beards lately?

The last one could of totally been taken as early as 2003! I still can't see any difference between these photos and the previous years shown.

2006 is when HD tvs were getting big

True.

However, HDTVs became the norm in 2011.

I actually strated seeing more and more of them in best buy around 2006, 2008 they became almost normalized

Well, yeah, change is usually gradual so I can see what you mean. I think the last one looks ever so slightly more late 2000s than mid 2000s though. But maybe it's not a huge difference.

Yes, 2006 is when I also started seeing them around. I don't think a majority of household TVs were HD until the end of the decade, but 2006 is when they became an almost daily sight when walking around town.

The only difference I see is that tighter pants on women are more prominent here than on the last photos but everything else still looks roughly the same.

The Late 2006- early 2007 school year was def an interesting one
