While the mid 2000s were firmly established by Autumn 2004, and pretty much or almost there in the summer, anyone else remember some amount of vague but still present early 2000s holdovers and vibes lasting from September 2004 to Jan/February 2005 that seemed to almost disappear or become much more minuscule after ?
Some video or print ads, music videos and movies STILL have an early 2000s feel
Traditional photographic slides are quite used, commercial photography sometimes has visibly analog quality to it.
Some people haven’t transitioned or fully transitioned to mid 00s culture or fashion yet.
Zip disks and floppies still haven’t disappeared in stores but are drastically used less than 2003-04
More VHS presence and titles released compared to the rest of the mid 2000s from what I’ve come to know, and more old school dvd ads
Less in your face glam or cringe mid 2000s looks and more regular looks and some transitional early/mid combos
Last period when regular spiky hair is still noticeable and around hasn’t been drastically reduced or altered.
YouTube is not established, MySpace is just kicking off, Facebook/Twitter/ doesn’t exist.
Internet is partially still very old school.
iPods are the thing to get and are massive but not every single person has one yet .

Idk, I disagree with 2005, but early 00s left overs were def still prevalent in 04 with Nintendo handhelds. Early 00s Hip Hop fashion was still a trend.

I actually used to lump 2004 with the early 2000s, because 2002-2004 were all very similar years.

Summer is almost officially mid 2000s and fall is officially mid 2000s. Holdovers were strongest from late 2004 to the very start of 05. They all disappeared after.

I know some elements on the board vocally disagree with this, but it was my experience and continues to be my estimation that the Y2K 2000s lasted as far as summer 2004. By no means was it the dominant image of the 2000s by, say, 2003, but it still hung on to some extent up until June 2004 or so (e.g. Britney Spears still being everywhere, flower power-inspired fashion like started in the late '90s, Internet "social media" basically solely consisted of AOL and Livejournal, etc.). It was the release of American Idiot in September that officially began the mid-2000s culture.

That's the perception I have of it as well actually. I don't believe that 2004 was an early 2000s cultural year as such, but when I think back to my childhood years, it does seem somewhat different in comparison to the others (circa. 2005-2009). The "McBling" aesthetic I associate heavily with 2005/06 wasn't really dominating the whole zeitgeist of pop culture yet, and even though the emo scene was gradually starting to catch on around that time, there was still more pop-punk and even nu-metal on the charts thanks to bands such as Blink-182, Evanescence etc.

Yeah 2004 up til April ( lesser extent May—August)was firmly the very end of the early 2000s. You can say mid to late 2003 was a breaking point from the pure early 2000s and from then onwards there definitely was a transitional element that may have slightly increased in early 2004 by a bit, but I see mid 2003 to mid 2004 as the last phase of the early 2000s, with a transitional aspect and a slightly distinct vibe. You can even consider it a mini era of its own pop culturally after mid to late 2000/mid 2001 to early 2003 and before late 04 to early 07. I can see why so who were young or may have not remembered the early 2000s division of 2004 so well because the second half is so overwhelmingly characteristic of the year and the mid 2000s and even the middle has some strong mid 2000s leanings even if it wasn’t there. Some can argue it was just purely Jan to Feb/March of 04 but that’s just a bit extreme.

It was a transitional space. It was still figuring things out.
