Teen pop was not "cool" in 2004, but people were still listening to it. Dial-up internet was not "cool" in 2006, but people were still using it. Facebook is not "cool" in 2019, but people are still using it. I would say not much teen pop was even on the radio in 2003, very few people I know were listening to teen pop in 2003 or 2004 I do remember Juno tho Juno was still semi popular

Yes, Animal Crossing too! Those two games were everything in middle school. Most kids preferred the PSP though, which angered me.  Same story at my school. The majority of the kids I used to hang around with preferred PSP’s. I think there were only a handful who had the DS instead. We weren’t apart of the “cool kids”.

Actually, speaking of the DS and WiFi, @slowpoke1993 did you ever use the built-in messaging software ‘PictoChat’ at any stage? I used it for the first couple weeks or so after buying mine. To be honest, that particular feature never really interested me all that much despite the hype surrounding it.

I know your question wasn't addressed to me, but I used to use 'PictoChat' from time to time (mostly when I had nothing better to do ). I never sent any of my drawings to other people though.

It wasn't. I don't remember anyone having WIfi at all at that time. The only people who had that connection in 2005 would have been rich people or early adopters.
Did you see singers such as Avril Lavigne, Hilary Duff, and Jojo as teen pop back then?

Wifi was in the New Jersey public school system in 2005, PSP had wifi in 2005 when it launched, Malls got wifi in 2005 as well. Xbox 360 had a wifi adapater. JoJo was classified as R&B , Avril Lavigne is pop punk/ pop none of it was bubblegum teen pop music, Most of the hits from Late 2001-2006 were r&b, Hip hop or pop punk songs, that was the template back then and artists would follow suit no matter what the age. None of that music sounded like Teen pop, it sounded like R&b. Leave Get Out sounds like & R&b pop record, Sk8ter Boi is not a teen pop song according to Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sk8er_Boi

I'll give my own misconception if that's ok with you...yes?ok.
9/11 had no effect on most of the pop cultural world except politics.

Like the culture dusting it off shoulders. Well I doubt it had that little effect on culture. A lot of the emo and dark, less kid friendly stuff in the mid-2000s could be attributed to the dark kid culture around the time.

Ok so I am going to have to debunk something someone said on the other "crap" forum
They said that Britney's songs with the Neptunes flopped because it didn't click, WRONG not true lol
What happened was Britney pulled out of a tour deal that was owned by Clear Chanel and thus out
of retaliation refused to play her songs past December 2001 until Toxic came out/

That emo was the only popular genre of angsty rock in the 2000s
Nope. We had nu metal in the early 00s that was extremely angsty. A lot of post-grunge bands were also angsty. Hell, Eminem was quite angsty and emotional, and he’s not even rock.
In the same vein, the idea that bands like Linkin Park, Evanescence, Three Days Grace, or Breaking Benjamin were emo. They weren’t, the first two were nu metal, and the last two were post-grunge.
That everybody used Windows XP in the early 2000s.
It is indeed the quintessential operating system of the decade, but it wasn’t ubiquitous until the mid 2000s. In fact, it was more popular in the late 2000s than early, as Windows Vista was a flop. Many people in the early 00s still used 98 and 2000 back then.
That everybody in the early 00s sucked Bush’s dick.
This might’ve been true for the general populace, but left-leaning types and generally rebellious/countercultural types were against Bush from the start. In fact, punk/metal bands like Sum 41 were already making anti-Bush songs as early as 2002.
And the biggest of them all…
That iPhones were popular in the late 00s
This is, without a doubt, the falsest and most common one of them all. People assume that when the iPhone dropped in 2007, EVERYONE magically dropped their flip phones and switched over to iPhones. But that is not true whatsoever, in fact, iPhones and touchscreen smartphones like it didn’t become ubiquitous until about 2011. Before that, you had BlackBerries and slider phones. But iPhones were not really popular or especially dominant in late 00s culture, despite what everyone would have you believe.
