Most quintessential year of the 2000's

Most readers here are young adults, I doubt that they can be confused. They are not that stupid and can question what they read. Certain Reddit boards have way more inaccurate information. You have to go over there to battle them instead of here lol.

Slander. Post the full log.

I don't actually disagree with this. At least if you're talking the vibe of Summer 2005, then it was definitely quintessentially 2000s, especially with people playing Halo 2 and GTA: SA like crazy.
And as for ultimate proof of this, well, I'm speaking from the perspective of a child during this time rather than a teen like you, but remember on another thread where I said the CN City era was the quintessential 2000s era of Cartoon Network. Well, if the CN City era was the peak of 2000s Cartoon Network, then Summer 2005, in turn, was the peak of the CN City era, in other words, it was the peak of the peak.

I personally regard 2007 as transitional between the core 2000s and the GFC era. In my opinion, early 2007 was still core 2000s, mid 2007 is transitional between the two, and late 2007 is when we enter the GFC era.
What really makes it feel different, to me at least, was the ending of core 2000s shows like Pimp My Ride, Drake and Josh, Danny Phantom, The Simple Life, the OC and the biggest of them all, airing since 1999, The Sopranos. The sales battle between Kanye and 50 Cent, which Kanye won, putting an end to 50 Cent as the GOAT of hip-hop like he was from 2003-2006, the fact Obama announced his run for presidency, and, at the very end of the year, the start of the Great Recession.
Now personally, if I were ranking the 2000s years on how 2000s they felt, I'd go 2006 first, then 2005, then 2004, and then either 2003 or 2007. The big thing for me is that in 2003, emo wasn't everywhere yet, most people still had dial-up internet, people still bought VHS tapes, and, at least for part of the year, Windows XP wasn't even the most popular operating system. Yet I also acknowledge the start of many important core 2000s shows + the rise of 50 Cent + the oncoming "bling" aesthetic + the start of the Iraq War.

That bomb scare is around the time they did that April Fools prank, sounds about right. AS had a good run tho, 03, 04,05,06 07 being the most talked about years.

Part of why I have such a hard time picking between 2005 and 2006 in terms of Adult Swim is that both years seemed to be on par in terms of actual popularity of the network. When I think 2005 in terms of Adult Swim, this IMMEDIATELY comes to mind

Can you get anymore mid 2000s than this?

I wanna say both 2005 and 2006 so bad but I think I'll give the edge to 2005. Culturally, 2006 definitely felt like somewhat a watered down 2005, especially since that year brought a lot rising late 2000s trends that didn't really exist at all in 2005, so I think that'll make sense. But school year-wise, 2005-06' hands down. Even over 2004-05' imo.
