List things that are "so 2000s". Let's see if we can pin down the decade


Unlike say the 80s or 70s, the 2000s aren't immediately recognisable. You have to think or pay abit more attention. Here are things I will point out as being "so 2000s".

1. Calling it a 'flat screen tv', or 'digital tv', instead of just a tv. Like "I bought a flat screen tv."
2. Everyone having phones that looked different. Flip tops. Push up phones. Nokias. So 2000s.
3. ipods! Definiately the must-have accessory after your phone. Scrolling other people's music was so 2000s.
4. Asking someone if they had a myspace account.
5. Explaining what facebook is and why it is better than myspace.
6. Watching 144p quality videos on youtube and still thinking it was great.
7. Owning a digital camera.
8. Chatting on MSN to friends.
9. Scanning everyone on the plane to see which one the terrorist might be.
10. Thinking of people like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake as "young" artists. So 2000s.
11. Singers/boy bands who danced in their videos.
12. Thinking of Trump as nothing but an 80s celebrity who now had a reality tv show.

I’ll have you know I still dance in all of my videos. No backup dancers for me.

I also do my own stunts.

reply

I doubt it, I’m pretty clumsy. I never said the stunts were intentional.

The rise of the fantasy film genre (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Narnia etc.) as a big, mainstream thing when compared to previous decades where they were thought of movies made for a niche audience.

Also, parodying/ripping off The Matrix in every movie ever.

The zombie movie craze was re-started in 2002 with 28 Days Later
