When you think about, the mid 2000's kinda had both elements of early and late 2000's culture. The mid 2000's were pre-Great Recession and pre-iPhone, but the Myspace era of the mid 2000s makes it a little closer to the late 2000's since it wasn't around for the early 2000's. YouTube came out in 2005 but got popular in 2006, and started peaking in the late 2000's. I'd say the mid 2000's overall (especially 2005 and 2006) is only slightly closer to the cultural late 2000's, but it still has quite a decent amount in common with the early 2000's.

My perception is probably skewed since I was a kid during both eras, but they were definitely much more like the Late 2000s overall.

I still believe 2005-2011 is its own era within itself in terms of technology, it felt like the final phase of the transition into digital, or arguably was the first full digital era.

Damn, it gets complicated the more you think about it. Haha I can agree with the mid 2000s having both early and late 2000s elements. 2004 is more unique that literally bridged both early and mid 00's and 2005 greatly established internet culture.

Even then, those years did have plenty of differences. To me, 2007 - 2009 felt like it's own era.

But in terms of technology evolution, it felt similar. I even made a whole chart about it.

Any year in which emo is popular and social media is a thing already holds more in common with the late 2000s than the early 2000s.

Honestly the more I think about it, I remember average pop fans talking about emo and linking black rimmed glasses, bowlcuts and weezer and 90s bands (sunny day real estate, samhaim who were on TV at that time) with it around 1995-1997. It wasn't that uncommon to find people into that style or actually emo. Even in 2002-2003 I remember people referring to people as emo. While modern social media started in friendster, myspace, facebook etc old social media did exist in the same way, it just wasn't called social media and had a few less features, SixDegrees.com, tribe.net and a tons of profile sites from 95-2003.

That was Midwest emo and held entirely different connotations, especially as at the time it was much more closely associated with its hardcore punk roots. Emo of the 2000s came into its own with eyeliner, the hair swoop, and facial piercings.

Emo of the 2000s came into its own with eyeliner, the hair swoop, and facial piercings. I know but there is still some lineage between the two on some level, and mid to late 90s emo, early 2000s emo were still very popular on a mainstream level. Many bands bands had still had 80s/90s post-hardcore/punk sounds or roots but a lot of them blended with indie and grunge looks and vibes of the early to mid 90s. I'm just saying that alternative bands with emo elements or straight up emo bands like sunny day real estate and samhaim even bands like knapsack who were not exactly underground nor necessarily from the mid west, were on MTV and the radio and quite popular with a wide range of people into mainstream rock from like 1994-1995 to 1997-1998. I remember regular people into pop/rock at school talking about emo back then circa 1996 from my memory and describing emo style. It was strongly associated with weezer even if they weren't a pure emo band. Also in the early 2000s, around 1999-2003-4 before emo became what we associated it with. There already a lot of talk about emo and the sometimes nerdy swooshy haired emo Y2k look was quite noticeable it wasn't like this obscure underground thing.
