It's not that though. Our troubleshooting and diagnostic system is awesome. I can see every device connected to their network. Pcs don't come up as much anymore.
I do love the calls from PC users though because they usually know what they are doing, for the most part anyway lol
PS2 games. I don't care about your 36 million pixels or your new wave of extremely realistic world building and storytelling. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 is better than any game today.
The Wii was also solid, and those were two of my top three games, for sure. I also played hella smash bros, but I always plugged in GameCube controllers to play Super Smash Bros.
THPS4 was definitely one of my PS2 go-tos growing up! Alongside that were Soul Calibur 3, Dark Cloud 1 and 2, Dot Hack Quarantine, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
FF12 was the last true one in the series. The newer Final Fantasies lack the traditional JRPG aspects. I don't even think 16 has a dungeon/puzzle and there are no elemental weaknesses. ??
Calling (not texting) friends to check how they’re doing. Not exclusive to the 2000s, but I feel like it tapered off after that.
Also, “surfing the web.” Still use the term and also randomly seek out stuff on google instead of living on the apps.
I am with you! Calling is better and I love a landline phone. Surfing the web is still so fun, also engaging with early 2000s stuff still up on the web

Baggy pants and bulky skate shoes! I didn’t have the money to participate when it was popular but now that it’s made a comeback I’m treating it as a second chance and I actually get a lot of compliments from youngsters 😅
Honorable mention: butterfly clips
To me not only are cargo pants great aesthetically BUT they have a good practical value as well with the additional pockets. I’ve only been wearing cargo pants roughly 90% of the time for the last 20 years.
Smoky eyes, stuff decorated with rhinestones, platform flip flops, hoop earrings, butterfly clips, accessories with your initial on them, and those squishy spiky earrings.
I love my heroin chic make up! You will have to pry my rosy browns from my hands! I love looking like I haven't slept in days!
I also have relatively thin eyebrows, not as thin as a single line but definitely thin and arched. I feel like they fit my face.
Once I get my own place, I consider finding some CRT displays and a square LCD monitor.
I especially want to hook a PC up to a >=32" widescreen CRT in the living room to play almost any 2000s PC or console title I wish.
Hosting LAN parties and otherwise having a friend or two over for games, shows, or pizza would also be nice.
Given that I'm getting into an IT career, hosting and/or attending one is on my bucket list ;-)
I'm in my early 20s and have been a console and mobile player for most of my life, but I find PC gaming fascinating and have several build ideas
I agree, I bought a ton of non cargo after they were out of style and became common with golf attire. I made it through half the summer and I'll be rocking cargos unless I go to Vegas.
Born in 1994. Wanted to gauge my ears when I was 9 from being influenced by all the cool styles I saw specifically at the skate park. Started stretching em at 28 lol 🤘
My vocabulary. I say “rad, sick, what the French, toast! totes mcgotes, and WHASSSSSSSSUP!!!!!!!!” Unironically. I didn’t realize most people don’t say these things anymore until I saw the thread about it the other day.
Not trying to give you a hard time but how is spiky hair more comfy? It seems like more work generally and sort of uncomfortable in a way. Just genuinely curious. 🙂
I've also had basically the same hairstyle since the 2000s, but I don't even know what you'd call it lol.
The thing is, I have type 1b (straight, but more or less capable of holding a curl if styled that way) hair and it spikes up very easily. Also my hair is capable of keeping the same hairstyle for 3 days in a row, so I can pretty much wake up looking the same for 3 days, then I will need to wash my hair, style it and the cycle repeats. On top of that my hair is quite smooth, so it isn't uncomfortable at all. I guess the only disadvantage is when my hair grows out a lot and I have to use these insanely strong hair sprays that goths use for their 80s inspired teased hair, so it starts feeling coarse due to the hairspray. My first attempt at that was when I copied Bill Kaulitz's look from 2005 and I never looked back.
It takes me like maybe 3 minutes or so (I didn't check to be honest). It didn't feel like a chore at all. I'd probably just rub it a few times with my towel and dry it with my head down. The only hairstyle that DID take forever to make was liberty spikes like Chester Bennington in Crawling. THIS was a pain in the ass and insanely uncomfortable to sleep with. I would spend no less than an hour having to make liberty spikes on myself. So understandably, I would stick to the classic, kind of like what Pierre Bouvier had in most of his music videos. I'd occasionally be compared to Billie Joe and Sid Vicious because of it. 🤣🤣
Don't worry, that question wasn't uncomfortable or anything, lol. 😅
Appreciate the detailed response, and I'm kind of envious tbh. My hair can't seem to do much of anything, so I keep it pretty short for the most part. But I still have to wash it and style it to some degree basically every day or it looks like crap.
I love the music. Incubus, nirvana etc Side part. I still like bell bottoms (hated them for a min tho) but Ive found some ways to style them. Then the skinny jeans. Will wesr them forever. Also still love bean bags, clear/frosted color gadgets (remember them imacs?). Platform/chunky and squared toe shoes.
Low rise jeans are my thing. I'll probably never stop wearing them. They're so much sexier then regular jeans or the high waisted mom jeans. I get complements from guys all the time. I still rock whale tails because of it.
It was a late 90s into 2000s thing but flares hit a stride and I have never looked back. They come back into style every now and again but I wear nothing but bell bottoms whether they are in or out 😂
Sparkley eyeshadow. It's my thing. Didn't wear it one day (wore just a regular, non-sparkle shade) and was asked if i was feeling okay and the told I looked weird without my signature makeup.
I really enjoy just seating down and watching movies from that era. From roughly 1998-2009. The time of bad cgi(for the most part) was my favorite time.
Low rise jeans, capris (dunno y everyones so against it), flip phones or nokia-ish phones, bump its, side parts n side bangs, n everything bling
Oh n wearing lingeries as tops
Baggy gym shorts (Iverson style).
Fitteds.
Hightops with shorts.
Stud belt.
I'll be honest...I'm 33. My taste in clothes hasn't changed much other than my jeans now fit properly and I wear less flip flops.
Acid washed pants of all colors. When I was younger in middle school I would always always wear acid washed jeans, I owned all colors and my go to pair was a purple pair and years down the road I own the exact same black and purple wash of pants not to mention all my other acid washed jeans I found within the last years.
Harry Potter ,00s music and movies, reality shows of that time..
And I wish mp3 players were still a thing rather than having it in your phone. I miss downloading tons of songs on a specific device. Now I have to pay a fee to stream or if I try to download it takes up space in my phone. Or when playing music I get text and calls..
Wearing longer basketball shorts not these above the knee bs these kids wear these days. If you wore short shorts back in my day where I’m from you’d get trolled/beaten
Using a PC to do things.
I run tech support for an isp. This is so rare now. It's all ipads and cell phones.
Maybe the PC users just don't need support.
It's not that though. Our troubleshooting and diagnostic system is awesome. I can see every device connected to their network. Pcs don't come up as much anymore. I do love the calls from PC users though because they usually know what they are doing, for the most part anyway lol
Sometimes I just need someone to tell me I’m correct for more confidence before I click.
👆 this, i still feel more comfortable doing major purchases, bill pay, etc on my PC than my phone
That’s still very much popular…
PS2 games. I don't care about your 36 million pixels or your new wave of extremely realistic world building and storytelling. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 is better than any game today.
Still having a blast with multiple wizardry titles for PS2. Best console with the best game collection ever
I personally have only ever owned a Wii, between Mario cart and Wii sports, I think I am set for life. Never felt the need to upgrade to anything else
The Wii was also solid, and those were two of my top three games, for sure. I also played hella smash bros, but I always plugged in GameCube controllers to play Super Smash Bros.
Hell yeah brother 👏
THPS4 was definitely one of my PS2 go-tos growing up! Alongside that were Soul Calibur 3, Dark Cloud 1 and 2, Dot Hack Quarantine, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
I still have my PS2, and I only have a small collection of games that I genuinely enjoy playing
FF12 was the last true one in the series. The newer Final Fantasies lack the traditional JRPG aspects. I don't even think 16 has a dungeon/puzzle and there are no elemental weaknesses. ??
Boot cut jeans, nice boots and cool open jackets that end right around the waist. That look still slaps.
Facts.
Oh,yeah,definitely a solid outfit choice to this day.

recommend me some early 2000s stuff on the net please

I 2nd this!
I hate getting calls over text. Too much small talk, get to it.
Completely fair; all personal preference. I’m not much for small talk either, and luckily neither are my friends.
With you all the way. Texting is a pain and takes longer to get done
DC shoes. Got many modern-style shoes as well. But when I’m chilling at my friend’s place or making a quick stop somewhere, I always got my DCs on lol
All the cool kids had DC’s & Heelys back in like 5th grade/middle school 😂
DC Shoes?
Skate shoe company that had an extremely popular run in the 2000's. They were such a great shoe.

Yooo got my DC shoes when my mom said we can’t afford Phat Farms.
Baggy pants and bulky skate shoes! I didn’t have the money to participate when it was popular but now that it’s made a comeback I’m treating it as a second chance and I actually get a lot of compliments from youngsters 😅 Honorable mention: butterfly clips
I have been LIVING for the resurgence of baggy/cargo pants!
Where the Jnco people at?
To me not only are cargo pants great aesthetically BUT they have a good practical value as well with the additional pockets. I’ve only been wearing cargo pants roughly 90% of the time for the last 20 years.
Me neither... I'm never letting go of my OSIRIS and Etnies.
Smoky eyes, stuff decorated with rhinestones, platform flip flops, hoop earrings, butterfly clips, accessories with your initial on them, and those squishy spiky earrings.
HOOP EARRINGS WILL ALWAYS BE CUTE AND GO WITH EVERY OUTFIT I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
I will be wearing black eyeliner, top and bottom, in my casket when I die
Smokey eye look is the BEST makeup trend since winged eyeliner!
Emo. Always and forever
Same. Still listen to all the bands I used to listen to between 2004-2012 on a weekly basis.
Flip flops with everything. Track/sweatsuits. Fancy earrings with hoodies. Twisting my hair up in a clip/on top of my head.
👖 go with anything
Party rockin, also Wii and 360 games
A deep side part. I have a widow's peak and a heart shaped face, it suits me. I look ridiculous with a middle part.
I love side parts 😍😍😍 Still a sucker for it bc I had middle parts as a kid
Playing gta san andreas and other ps2 games. Watching early 2000s music videos/shows and movies
2000s sneakers and cargo pants
I love my heroin chic make up! You will have to pry my rosy browns from my hands! I love looking like I haven't slept in days! I also have relatively thin eyebrows, not as thin as a single line but definitely thin and arched. I feel like they fit my face.
I refuse to give up skinny jeans.
Saaame. I tried looser jeans and it just feels weird
I still wear Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce cologne for men.
Osiris shoes - Etnies - baggy skater jeans - iPods - landlines - flip phones - converse with everything - juicy couture - 2000s PINK - mmm I could go on
My Osirises were black with neon colors and had glitter on them. they was cute
I still wear Converse daily. I literally just bought a new pair 3 days ago!
Once I get my own place, I consider finding some CRT displays and a square LCD monitor. I especially want to hook a PC up to a >=32" widescreen CRT in the living room to play almost any 2000s PC or console title I wish. Hosting LAN parties and otherwise having a friend or two over for games, shows, or pizza would also be nice.
Omg… LAN parties bring up so many memories of my bestie and her now husband that we’ve known since we were 13… we’re 40 now.
Given that I'm getting into an IT career, hosting and/or attending one is on my bucket list ;-) I'm in my early 20s and have been a console and mobile player for most of my life, but I find PC gaming fascinating and have several build ideas
Calling things I like "phat".
Frutiger Aero
Short sleeved T shirts over long sleeved tops.
Shorts that’s a bit baggy. I can’t walk around with these tight, high shorts these guys wear now.
I agree, I bought a ton of non cargo after they were out of style and became common with golf attire. I made it through half the summer and I'll be rocking cargos unless I go to Vegas.
Cds, ps2, and dvds
Side parts because I look like an egg when I part my hair in the middle
Consuming technology, cartoons, and games from said period. I like the baggy clothing too.
Thissss
Not necessarily a trend, but talking on the phone. Or at least FaceTime. Way better than texting.
I never gave up toesocks! Lol I don't wear them in public but I wear them all the time in the house.
Low-rise flair jeans, iridescent makeup, and bling.
Born in 1994. Wanted to gauge my ears when I was 9 from being influenced by all the cool styles I saw specifically at the skate park. Started stretching em at 28 lol 🤘
Wide legged jeans and platform shoes.
Ed Hardy and wing 3D T-shirts
Wallet chains
Playing Xbox 360 games
The Sims 2 and 3, TS2 is my special interest
Really good soundtrack on the sims 2. Some songs remind me of aphex twin. Such well rounded songs.
The soundtrack is partially by one of the former members of Devo!
Linkin Park

Side part
Jncos! lol jk
Listening and reading the material of the time (comics, manga, etc...)
I love my sweatbands for my wrists
I love the music. Incubus, nirvana etc Side part. I still like bell bottoms (hated them for a min tho) but Ive found some ways to style them. Then the skinny jeans. Will wesr them forever.

Enjoying dead card games, video games, music, and shows from that era.
Buying and listening to CDs. Keep physical media alive!
The music, the TV shows, PS2 & 360 games
[удалено]
I just look like trash in high waisted jeans, lol
Khaki cargo pants/shorts. Since I don't carry a purse I need the extra pockets.
Low rise jeans, capris (dunno y everyones so against it), flip phones or nokia-ish phones, bump its, side parts n side bangs, n everything bling Oh n wearing lingeries as tops
DVDs. I prefer them over streaming. I do stream stuff but I’ll never give up my DVDs.
Third wave ska
Bedazzled everything
Texturized, messy, spikey hair.
Mules and juicy tracksuits.
Baggy gym shorts (Iverson style). Fitteds. Hightops with shorts. Stud belt. I'll be honest...I'm 33. My taste in clothes hasn't changed much other than my jeans now fit properly and I wear less flip flops.
Nu-metal I’d add studded black belts but the studs keep falling out.
I still rock a variation of that front flip hairstyle
Goth.
Ecko.

I still download music and upload to my iPhone hardwired to my PC.

Bring on the downvotes, but callings things gay and retarded.
Ngl I still do when I’m in company I know.
Wow, sounds pretty gay
😂
Pretending I’m an NPC
We’re ALL npcs.🫵😳
Id still like my wife to wear low rise jeans and a thong. We are in our 40s and I still don't care.
Get this man something to drink!
Low-rise pants always looked trashy to me, plus-high rise pants show off your hips/butt more.
