How will the 00's be remembered?

[16steps]

It seems that almost every decade leading up to the millennia had a very distinct atmosphere. The 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's all had a very distinct fashion and moral setting. The art was vastly different from decade to decade. The standard of living improved progressively throughout the decades.

How will the 00's be remembered? Boy bands? 9/11? George Bush? Recession? Iraq Wars? In retrospect, seems like a pretty dismal time?

[ojjairus]

the numerous dance styles of course.

[phen3N]

i've thought about this too, mainly wondering what fashion trends will be associated with the 00s. im guessing the bro look or the emo/scene look.

[Vampyrvargfesten]

horrible decade

80s fashion revivals and backwards progress

[Guest Phrost]

i'm a firm believer in history repeating itself. there was an iraq war in the 90s as well as a wtc bombing scare in 93. there was a bush in office. there were boy bands, vampires crazes, n stupid trends

even though i don't like twitter i respect its influence in helping ppl gather in the iranian presidential election. nigs was wearin tight pants in the 90s too like they forgot. shit.

i still remember straight up 90s shit like zima n glow sticks. i think when the 2000s pass we'll remember more in retrospect

the youtube/social networking generation, and the over saturation of consumer electronics effecting people expectations of their own abilities(for example, increasing reliance on handheld GPS ) and their expectations of society to coddle them.

[Protocol]

^ kinda agreed

In other words

The "Internet" generation.

[AstroWolf]

i think its going to be seen as the terror generation.

we have to see, that what we experienced as people past puberity, is much different for our group psyche then a kid who grew up on threat level red and the bush machine.

these kids are going to make the barney generation seem cool.

[duck sauce]

[headcoat]

the worst generation ever.. No decade has been so plagued with such spoiled, self-centered, egomaniacal kids with so little merit.

Also, terrible music, possibly even worse than the 90's, terrible art, terrible politicians...

The all-pervasive presence of media and internet through wireless gadgets has killed our soul for the sake of convenience.

let us take a step back and enjoy the simple joys of life

[back211]

haha thats what i thought this thread was about first...

i think we will be remembered for our terrible movies, out "retro" and urban clothing style, everyone getting tattoos, internet children, deathof many great artists, and a change of modern art to some wierd direction, where everyone draws creatures and pictures make no sense

o yea and everyone becomes very liberal

[mydenvermax]

The cell phone decade.

We completed our transition as americans to these new microcommunities. You can be is social as you want without ever saying a word to your neighbors (the people you'd run into in the normal course of the day).

Also, plans can now change on the fly. People are less punctual and less committed to social events. You can be on your way to a party and get a text about something better going on, then completely change the course of your night.

[jack napier]

barely.

we're all going down in lyke 3 yrz anyhow...

[whitney]

00 is the decade of stupid reality star celebrities

the decade of quick money, instant gratification, things that shimmer on the surface but is rotten on the inside..because instead of taking the time to construct things so its beautiful inside out people cut corners FAST FAST FAST

[Akura]

Faast cars, danger, fire and knives

[skiniks]

let us take a step back and enjoy the simple joys of life

man i can't wait to do this on tuesday.

[billy.]

last generation before the machines took over

[Jimbo69]

i dun think any decade could be worse than the 70s

[MissingNo.]

this discussion is somehow deeply insightful of a somewhat superficial age

[Vampyrvargfesten]

00s = lack of simple joys of life = lack of peaceful moments on boats lazily floating on pleasant dayz

OH and 00's is bad use of apostrophes, right??? (grammar nazi concept)

it seems like everyone is saying that the 00's were counter-progressive. Lots of throwback fads as wlell as increasingly alienating ourswlves from the rest of society (internet/social networking)

It seems like Mike Judge wasnt too far off in idiocracy. Technology will end up advancing to the point its running our lives and the humans revert to a neanderthal-like state just sitting at home and watching people get kicked in the nuts (vh1's programming is our current version of "OUCH! My Nuts!)

[DüM]

man i wasn't chillin on a boat in the 90's either.

[Orion]

Headcoat and Flock have it dialed. There's times I kind of hope for complete socio-economic meltdown, so people will be forced to work for and appreciate the daily necessities. There's always been war, corruption, etc, and that will continue, but I look at people and wonder how humans (or maybe just Americans) have managed to survive. It's like Idiocracy for reals. Even though some great things were accomplished in the 00's, I think we took a very serious turn for the worse...

Edit: Zubin, just saw you mentioned Idiocracy also. That shit's so on point.

[domdomdomdom]

man i can't wait to do this on tuesday.

yeah but u gonna be smoking on the water right? thats what that pic is missing

[roflobster]

i think that everyone hates on their own decade and really idealizes older decades

[OMEGA JELLY JIGGLE]

it will be remembered as the decade where your penis size can be augmented by the ammount of subs you have on youtube or the ammount of follows you have on twitter or how colorful you can dress without creating disdain for yourself

And the rest of us: 5 years of refreshing supertalk

exactly

"man fuck these kids and their steam-powered engines / cars / aeroplanes / VCR / CDs / mp3s / internets. they all suck compared to the olde times"
