| 4645 | Article | jkatz | I've said it before, but the internet was a lot more fun back in the 2000s. Newgrounds, Ebaums World, Myspace, etc. Freedom of speech was taken for granted and easily offended people were a minority and rightfully mocked.Everything online seemed fresh and exciting. Maybe it had something to do with the overall culture, I don't know. Also, you forgot about The Matrix movies. Those were huge back in the day. | Oct 28, 2018 |  | |

| 4648 | Article | Benjanime | @jkatz oof, the matrix also inspired certain video games to borrow that bullet time effect as well from its success, it was nothing short of groundbreaking in cinema. | The 2000s decade wasn't that bad | Oct 29, 2018 | |
| 4649 | Article | Caps 2.0 | About a decade ago, I wrote two articles for RetroJunk that compared the music of the 00s favorably to the music of the 80s. The two pieces were rare disasters for me in terms of feedback, with even users who normally liked my writing giving the articles thumbs down and giving me a lot of hell for daring to write positive things about 00s pop culture on a nostalgia website. Looking back in hindsight, I would've done a lot differently with those articles. I would've analyzed the music better and I would've chosen different artists to praise. This was all because I wasn't able to properly explain that, in my opinion, feeling that pop culture went to Hell after a certain date is just nonsensical. Although my life in the 00s was just as bad as my life in the 90s, I did prefer the pop culture of the 00s to the pop culture of the 90s, but I know that many have the same passion for 90s pop culture that I do for 80s pop culture. I also know that, if it isn't being done already, soon the people who spent their childhood and teen years in the 00s will be writing articles for sites like this about how those years were special for them. In summation, decades treat everyone differently, and in my opinion, no one should catch heat for speaking positively about whichever era they like. | The 2000s decade wasn't that bad | Oct 30, 2018 | |
| 4651 | Article | jkatz | "In summation, decades treat everyone differently, and in my opinion, no one should catch heat for speaking positively about whichever era they like." That's a good way of putting it, Caps. | The 2000s decade wasn't that bad | Oct 31, 2018 | |
| 4662 | Article | comic_book_fan | i loved the 2000 through 07 was when things started going down hill. to me the 90's was the best time for me but 2000's wasn't bad i loved toonami the resurgence of the comicbook movie playstation2 and gamecube was awesome yugioh the mnusic was good too pretty good across the board but to me comparing the 2000's to the 90's is literally comparing kobe bryant to Michael jordan kobe was great but jordan was just better across the board. | The 2000s decade wasn't that bad | Nov 07, 2018 | |
| 4663 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | Boy did this bring back some memories Benjanime. Toonami, the beginning of YouTube, the iPod, great gaming consoles like the PS2 and Gamecube. Plus cartoons like TMNT and Avatar. These were all the great aspects of the 2000's. | The 2000s decade wasn't that bad | Nov 07, 2018 | |
| 4664 | Article | Benjanime | thanks for the feedback, guys! :) it's great to see how different in perspective others have in thought about the decade even if it may not be as memorable as past ones. i probably should've also made mention of the 2007 ghostbusters video game, which is a great loveletter to GB fans. | The 2000s decade wasn't that bad | Nov 07, 2018 | |
| 4667 | Article | talsvals | I grew up in Brazil in the 2000s, and I don't know how varied this is in different parts of the world, but I went to an upper-middle-class private school and I'll say this: the "explosion of the internet" that supposedly happened in the 90s by no means equates to, as soon as the year 2000 rolled in, everyone was totes used to getting home and checking their e-mails and spending a couple of hours trying to flirt in chatrooms. Definitely not. Nearly all my friends did not have the internet as a big part of their childhoods, it at best being something mysterious in their parents' bedroom, or being allowed access for half an hour on weekends and using it to play Bubble Trouble. So I'll credit the 2000s with the real transition into the internet being everywhere at all times. And the internet was rapidly becoming great, before it started turning to shit. Like someone said, Newgrounds, Ebaums World, Myspace, weird flash games, early YouTube viral videos before going viral was a thing that people tried to do, Fotolog, LiveJournal, personalised emoticons on MSN Messenger, downloaded ringtones. There are so many gems there and at the moment they get underrated, but I predict a comeback. The internet didn't go from animated gifs on Geocities to your cousin posting pictures of her kids on Facebook, there was so much in between. | The 2000s decade wasn't that bad | Nov 15, 2018 | |
| 4673 | Article | Superman | I liked a lot of things about the 2000s. As you said, there were a lot of great movies coming out, many of which would go on to be huge franchises with tons of sequels. I also view that decade as a golden age of live-action television. A lot of the shows that were airing had a "movie" quality to them that wasn't seen in most shows airing in previous decades. | The 2000s decade wasn't that bad | Nov 16, 2018 | |
