Subject: 20 years feels so much more recent now

Written By: Slim95 on 04/09/21 at 2:27 pm

It is no longer the case where 20 years ago makes you think of pixelated video quality with people wearing goofy looking clothing. 2001 has music videos that look more around 10 years old rather than 20.

That is a scary thought. 2001 definitely feels more recent now than 1981 did in 2001, or even 1991 in 2011 for that matter.

No it doesn’t, videos from 2001 definitely look 20 years ago

Contrast this 2001 music video, with blurry and goofy clothes

For someone who’s in his 20s you sure like to act older then what you really are. You talk as if you’re 60

Also this movie came out in 2000 and the quality honestly doesn’t look that different from most movies that came out in the 90s even 1990 despite being a decade apart

Contrary to what you always say about stuff from the 80s/90s being so far apart from the 2000s despite it being close

Blurry and goofy clothes in 2001? What? Did we watch the same video?

And you post two completely different genres of music videos, one is pop and the other is rap, and you call that a fair comparison..?

2000 isn't 20 years ago, 2000 is 21 years ago. And even more, that movie was probably filmed in 1999 at the latest since movies take 1 - 2 years to film and produce, so it would actually be 22 years ago. Nice try though..

And how about you bring up a movie from 1980 and see how massively different it is from 2000. Then you will see there were way more differences before in the 20th century than there are now.

That video isn’t even in high definition, and those clothes are certainly dated considering teenagers nowadays are dressing likely that again

I’m not even comparing they’re genres but they’re both considered hip hop songs according to wiki. Also just look at the quality difference between both of them. That doesn’t look like 10 years ago

The movie was released in December of 2000 so production mostly likely ran into the year 2000.

I will say theirs equal differences.

Ok, it is 21 years still, not 20. And I don't agree.

You must be very young. 20 years is the new 10 years. That is just the way it is and the videos you posted only further my point but you can literally choose any professional (not homemade) video from 2001, and it will prove my very point. It's ok if you disagree though. I think objectively there are much less changes.

Is that your way of being condescending? Thinking everybody who has a different opinion on time must be súper younger then you ?

People should also remember a homemade video taken in the early 2000s will obviously look somewhat similar to a professionally-taken 1980s video since most people didn't have the same recording capabilities we have today. So it will probably come off as pixelated and almost
1980s-like. But a professionally taken video (music videos, news, sports, etc.) from the early 2000s will look much more modern and up-to-date than an '80s professional video and much more closer to today than to the '80s. And you couldn't even make home movies in the '80s unless you were rich.

So you agree that the early 2000s look 20 years ago. Considering you just said that many homemade videos of the time looked very 1980ish. How is that any different from today and having some traces of late 2000s in terms of technological quality ?

Nope that is not what I said and all.

You just said people in the early 2000s didn’t have the same recording abilities as people do today. That implies that a lot of time has passed. Like maybe 20 years ago and it shows in a lot of the eras homemade videos right ?

That would mean that a lot of videos from let’s say 2000 or 2001 look very old even to you

You guys also need to realize something. In 2005, the year 2000 felt like a completely different world. And that was a difference of only FIVE YEARS. Can you say the same for 2016 vs now? Of course not (besides the pandemic). As a matter of fact, even 2011 which is 10 years ago just barely feels like the same amount of changes that occured in the 5 year span of 2000 - 2005... So I really don't get why some people don't get what I am saying. Unless like I said before, they are very young and don't have memories of the massive changes that happened in the early 2000s.

Speaking of 2005, that year feels a lot more recent now than 1989 did in 2005 even though they were the same time spans of 16 years. I could watch Batman Begins and it would look much less dated than the original Tim Burton's did in 2005 (I remember buying it on DVD then. Still is and always be a classic).

I agree. Even 1989 looked ancient in 2005. But 2005 today just looks very, very dated but not to the extent of how the 1980s looked in '05. The 1990s and 2000s were just so changeful.
