Early-to-mid 2000s nostalgia.

[Herwald]

When nostalgia creeps up, I usually try to find something completely new to disappear in. But, recently, I felt like I was just getting hammered by a relentless wave of early-to-mid 2000s nostalgia. So I buckled and went back to a lot of old stuff - this be everything from music, video games, movies, old sports broadcasts to real life locations - and I feel like I've kind of ruined a few cozy memories by revisiting the source (will say: TV show "The Shield" was one thing that held up and impressed me even more now).

So it's kind of a weird feeling where the current day seems lacking, but, ultimately, all I found at the end of that nostalgia rainbow of "good old days" was sense of waste, mistakes and regret. Not to be a downer, though, maybe a wrong approach on my part or just personal issues to hash out.

But that made think of how there's still this 80s craze in pop culture, 90s iconic stuff seems to slowly pop up here and there as well, but is anyone actually nostalgic for 2000s? If so, what are you nostalgic about from that time?

[Contempt]

Nah fuck that period. I was starting out my career, working full time and studying for hours every day on top. I didn't have time to scratch myself for about 5 years.

At least we weren't invaded by whiny SJW shitbags yet so there's that...?
