I feel like I've waited long enough, and I almost forgot to bring this up. Anyway, I'm sure as of right now, it's been more than enough time to reminisce the 2000s, now that the year 2000 itself is finally 20 years away. I suppose they're now more than nostalgic enough to be retro. I also just wanted to get it out of my system before I forget and/or just put it off altogether.
While I know that the 2000s wasn't really much of favorite decade of music on ETS, I'm also rather biased to the 2000s because that was also around the beginning of my years as a teenager and what was also the first half of my 20s. I also suppose it still goes to show that it's like how simpler times also go hand in hand with your formative years anyway, which is an enormous chunk behind the "magic of nostalgia's stranglehold", so to speak. It also gives me fond memories of VHS and even cassettes somewhat still being a thing, along with CDs and DVDs. And then also PS1, PS2, Nintendo 64 and Nintendo GameCube, and then later the PS3 and the Nintendo Wii, as well as middle school, high school and college. When it came to cable, I spent so much time watching Nickelodeon, TBS, Cartoon Network and Comedy Central. (Since I actually barely watch TV now.) And yet again, it was a time when it was all about AOL, Hotmail and Yahoo as far as E-mail went, and then Gmail and the emergence of Facebook and YouTube before even Twitter got really big, not to mention the transition from dial-up to DSL to cable.
Anyway, with that out of the way and that being said, I just wanted to kick off this thread with Eminem, Slipknot and Linkin Park. I had so many fond memories listening to them in high school. I was also around a lot of Staind fans as well, but I never really got into them. And I also saw more Coldplay and Nickelback fans back in high school too, and even then I think that was before they became the meme we know today. Even if they were also dissed, they weren't dissed as much as they were by the mid to late 2000s.
As for the rap fans at my high school, there were also many fans of Nelly, Ja Rule, Ludacris, Fabolous, Jadakiss, Jeezy, 50 Cent and G-Unit just to name a few that I can still recall. Regardless of era, rap was always far more popular than rock, so I heard rap being talked about so much than rock there. If they liked older rap, it was also mostly back at least as far as the late 1980s and early 1990s rap. I'll admit that my love for the 1990s kind of make me take some of the 2000s for granted, but in hindsight, now with the 2010s gone and the 2020s just arriving, I can now say that I can appreciate the 2000s a lot more than when I did back then.
But of course, hindsight's 20/20, no pun intended. :p
Anyway, did you actually always like or even love the 2000s? And if not, did the 2000s ever grow on you?
