Man, I love 2004 to 2008, this shit is like home to me. I mean, yeah, politically this was such a dark time, but I often find myself returning to this time.

I wouldn't say that I love 2004-2008 as such, but because I was 5 to 9 years old during those years, I definitely have a strong connection with them.

And it's weird for me because I was in high school right through fall 2004 to summer 2008, and I did not have a good high school experience. Add to that I wasn't really connected with pop culture at the time, I was very much doing my own thing. But it does feel somehow more relatable to me, especially as we get closer to the Obama years.

Ah okay. Yeah, it's interesting how nostalgia can change the way you think of the past. It makes me wonder if I will one day perceive the Mid 2010s in the exact same way.

Like others have said 2006 is still in that 2005-2007 era, things were climaxed at that point in the culture

Its funny you should say that because Ive never really liked 2004-2008 pop culture. Although it wasnt terrible, I much prefer the eras which came before and after.

Could a white boy even be considered cute in 2006 if he didn't have a haircut like the dude in the blue button down second to last row? {Spoiler}No. No he couldn't. Nor could you be modern without a cellphone like the first pic. Bonus points if it had a camera. You weren't a cool chick til you had big sunglasses like the second pic nor a big flashy bag like in the third. If you still went to Blockbuster, you were not rich enough to have OnDemand.

On Demand got movies after Blockbuster got them I think There was like a 3 week wait between newest releases

But it was also incredibly novel at the time so at least I didn't mind. The length of rental was also not nearly as long which was kind of a bummer. I think this was also when Netflix was mail in?

Oh my god, Blockbuster looks like such a relic of a distant era today.

Oh my god, Blockbuster looks like such a relic of a distant era today. Yep, it sure does. It's interesting how the primary method of consuming entertainment has changed so dramatically over the past 13 years. I can remember going to my local DVD rental store on a Friday or Saturday night back in 2006 and the aisles would always be packed with families looking to rent something for the night. Half of the movies in the kids aisle were still on VHS as well. I actually miss going to the DVD rental store to get a movie/TV show, because it was always something of an event in itself. It was something I used to always look forward to throughout the week.
