What do you miss about the 2000s?

CodeDiscombobulated1 · 2021-03-16T20:08:15+00:00

people having more self respect, decency and not beeing glued to their phones 24/7

WeeklyGreen8522 · 2021-03-16T20:34:01+00:00

Mainstream was less politically correct.

I miss the way women dressed. Everything was a bit more modest than it is today. 14yr old girls are posting not just bikini pics, but pics of them posing provocatively in them. That was unheard of back when I was in middle-high school, back then you were lucky to see a candid bikini pic on a girl's fb page lol

Everywhere I go I see camel toes in yoga pants and crop tops with the center cut down to show cleavage. I feel like it's much easier to be redpilled nowadays though, when even the shy girl next door types are dressing like complete whores it really puts their nature into perspective.

I read another comment on here the other day where this guy's friend was a middle school teacher, and one of his students was obnoxiously and nonchalantly bragging about cheating on her boyfriend. That kind of behavior used to be taboo, and it's been encouraged for so long that it's now become normal.

Nothing really, I was married, miserable, and trapped. Might be living in clown world now, but I'd rather be free in clown world than a blue pilled slave in easier times.

When women were affectionate

1AureaAurora1 · 2021-03-16T23:48:38+00:00

Miss about the 2000's? Not having all the fucking normies on the internet. Back in the day, it was just the nerds, doing nerd things.

If there's any decade I miss though, it's the 80's. That was the peak. Everything since then has been slowly downhill.

i_am_your_hemeroid · 2021-03-16T20:52:51+00:00

My hair, he he

I miss people not having smart phones. Actually, going even further back, having no fucking mobile phones was awesome. it was all downhill from there.

Honestly, 2000s were shit. Rock and roll died, it got replaced by rave. 80s 90s, those were the days for me.

Edit: also, singers could fucking sing.

AppleJuicePro · 2021-03-17T03:22:16+00:00

The internet before it became colonised by Facebook, Google, etc. It was fun to go on-line, it felt like you were going on an adventure. Now it's all corporatised and woke. It's getting boring tbh.

JustPissYaself · 2021-03-16T22:39:34+00:00

Not knowing anything about history and politics. Being naive and living in ignorant bliss was a lot more enjoyable than being aware and semi-depressed all the time.

Jimmysparkzz · 2021-03-16T22:46:19+00:00

Being able to literally watch anything and everything on Tv without becoming enraged at the misandry and sexism towards dudes.

ignorance truly was bliss. I believe my eyes first started to open regarding the bullshit towards guys whilst watching "King of new york" and wondering why "Doug" the protagonist was ALWAYS the one in trouble. From there I started noticing that the guy was always the one doing the apologising or it was ALWAYS the woman that was the "level headed" one in most situations.

man I miss those days. You can't untake the redpill

f3wl · 2021-03-16T20:42:08+00:00

Shell necklaces, frosted tips, GTL, and numetal. JK. Everything about the 2000s sucked. I still had hair though, so that's something.

gtowerthrowaway · 2021-03-16T22:39:49+00:00

2000, lol.

Bud, the world died in 1989. And I miss normal. Sanity and insanity were still more or less recognized as such.

amd64 · 2021-03-17T00:56:42+00:00

Social media barely existed and pictures were slow to load.

HiveMindKing · 2021-03-16T23:38:03+00:00

Music... but to be real the things that I miss the most is good conversations. You used to be able To be honest and passionate and talk about the ideas and things important to you. Now it’s such a massive liability that fulfilling conversations have basically died out and I miss them like hell.

timothom64 · 2021-03-17T03:48:01+00:00

No phones, pre-facebook.

hjgkturi6785uti · 2021-03-16T21:53:23+00:00

You need to back to the 90's to see any big improvement from the present shitshow.

Dozinggreen66 · 2021-03-16T23:43:37+00:00

Good tv, good hip hop, pop punk, emo, skating, ps 1 and 2

Crusty_Dick · 2021-03-17T05:23:25+00:00

Limewire

Black_Jackel · 2021-03-17T00:55:45+00:00

Low key the music, lyrics were actually decent

wolfoftheworld · 2021-03-17T01:57:07+00:00

The carefree lad that I once was. Life was exciting and there was always a new discovery and opportunity. I was more empathic as well.

AtomicMGTOW · 2021-03-17T02:33:56+00:00

The 90's. :P

hunrein · 2021-03-17T04:43:22+00:00

I miss believing that the near future would get better for me. And it did. Once I finished high school and moved to college two states away it was a lot better. There were still problems. I was a broke college student so no car and eating two large meals a day in the dorms, but I was sure even that would get better once I graduated.

For me the 2000s were a decade where I could be rationally optimistic. Now I am trying to figure out how to survive the coming economic and cultural collapse of the USA. Things might get better again in 20 or 30 years, but until then it looks like some rough times ahead.

exz · 2021-03-18T19:55:37+00:00

I miss the old internet back when it was mostly just us nerds and how mindblown we were about it all with online gaming starting to be a big thing, MSN Messenger, mobile phones not being everywhere,... It all started going downhill for me around 2008-2012 around the time stuff like Facebook got really popular.

Now everything pretty much feels the same, nothing is truly exciting. I guess getting older doesn't help.

vedsh1154 · 2021-03-17T04:07:37+00:00

Simplicity in life

mgtoown · 2021-03-17T05:01:06+00:00

Oh man.... No phones, no normies on the internet, women having more respect for themselves e.g no onlyfans.

retroguy8810 · 2021-03-17T06:16:58+00:00

The internet culture of that time.

WoW, less PC and the best of all, very less social media. I even miss the games from 00s. Most of my all time favourites come from that time.

Music and fashion wise ehh not much. But I would take 00s over the current times any other day

Edit: And STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN.

BrokenBarbell · 2021-03-17T06:25:47+00:00

Political correctness wasn't as big of a problem.

the_beaverhausen · 2021-03-17T06:59:55+00:00

Cheap airline tickets. But geez on second thought I'll pay more for wifi on the plane. 16 hours is a long time to sit there when you're at the mercy of the airline for your in-flight movie.

Braces for downvote kinda miss Obama's grey suit.

Edit: Or was it tan? I dont even remember.

2021-03-17T09:28:16+00:00

Went to Karioke one night,
Made friends with an older woman (53),
She had a nice figure, big boobs,
Chatted, flirted, exchanged numbers,
Met up a week later, had a weekend of great sex,
Remained mutual friends afterwards with NO drama.

TeddyMGTOW · 2021-03-17T16:44:47+00:00

Y2K scare!

Thinkingman21 · 2021-03-17T18:28:39+00:00

When I watch a sitcom from the 90s or early 2000s, I like the fact that it was women before phones.

Then came social media.

Basically, women were easier to manage when your engagement wasn't one post away from cancelled for life from employment.

Bri-70 · 2021-03-17T22:34:16+00:00

I hadn't had to take the red pill then. I saw a lot of shit and thought it would never happen to me.

But you can't go back so all I can really say is I miss being younger.

Odd-Reference-32 · 2021-03-17T04:23:57+00:00

2000's? Man, I miss the 80's!
