I'm not a big fan of 1980s aesthetics, I don't know what it is but it feels so overrated to me. Maybe it's the fact that they've been shoved down everyone throats for too long. 2000s nostalgia and aesthetics seem to be making some appearances and I say that's awesome.
I also love Dua Lipa's songs because they have more of a neo-disco sound rather than 80s, which is refreshing to me. Leave 80s nostalgia in the 10s, they're overdone.

Maybe it's the fact that they've been shoved down everyone throats for too long. 2000s nostalgia and aesthetics seem to be making some appearances and I say that's awesome. Leave 80s nostalgia in the 10s. The 80’s nostalgia has been pushed hard a lot by older people who were either kids or teenagers in the 80’s. It would make sense being they’ve been in charge of the entertainment industry for a while now who are making the 80’s the setting of a lot of movies etc. I grew up constantly hearing about the 80’s basically every second of every day with a dad born in 1967 who was a teenager in the 80’s and constantly listening to 80’s music. I’m sick of the 80’s as well, I think the 80’s had fantastic music but other than that I think it’s a very overrated decade. First of all the fashion was absolutely awful, the big frizzy haired mullets, over exaggerated clown like makeup for women, the ugly ass shoulder pads etc 🤮 I personally can’t see how anyone is nostalgic for that. Despite both 80’s & 90’s nostalgia being pushed a lot, I find the 90’s still seemed better than the 80’s to me in every way. For video games for example the 80’s had a very limited amount to offer except for basically arcade games, the 90’s had a huge step up in terms of that with the release of both the PS1 and N64 in the mid 90’s, 90’s fashion and movies I like better than the 80’s as well. You had flannels with striped shirts in the 90’s, overalls etc which is appealing to me and I think the 00’s gets too much hate as a decade most likely because of 9/11 but the 00’s are my favorite decade after the 90’s.

(but not by much) Like, in 2014 there was that meghan trainor song which was basically a teenpop throwback, it was in 2020 that people became obsessed with the 2000s. I wonder if that means 00s nostalgia is gonna be even bigger than 80s Nostalgia in the future lol

I have another one for my own post...I think people overrate the early 2010’s as an era, particularly a lot of Gen Zer’s and late millennials. I actually find the early 2010’s culture to have been really cheesy and cringeworthy. I also find early 2010s culture cheesy and cringeworthy in general. The early 2010s are their own unique era, but they also had watered down late 2000s aspects. I do not look back at the early 2010s with fondness, but regret. I wonder why people thought in the early 2010s, wearing tight neon fashion, listening to electro-pop and hipster indie folk rock wannabe music, watching Breaking Bad, Jersey Shore, or any popular movies was cool. People overrate the early 2010s as an era. Not everything about them is rays of sunshine and peachy keen. During the early 2010s, I was 11-14. I was in my middle school and early high school years. People were still getting over the Great Recession. Gas prices were high. Homophobia was still promoted, but that coexisted with the growing progressive, liberal attitudes due to Obama being in office. The early 2010s were a wannabe early 2000s. The early 2010s failed to replicate the early 2000s vibe, atmosphere, setting, energy and was way off. The early 2000s on the other hand are timeless and much better than the early 2010s that it is not close or compares. People find the early 2000s tacky, but I do not.

I mean, Breaking Bad is one of the best shows of all time so I wonder why you don't see why people in the Early 2010s would enjoy it?

I highly disagree with the golden age of TV beginning in 2005. I think the golden age of TV broadly lasted from 1950-2006. It's 1999 - present (started with the Sopranos).

The Sopranos, The Wire, Lost, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Fargo, and Better Call Saul have all come out since 1999 so you may be right. More controversially The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones too, lol.

The 2010s were IMO the best decade in gaming history. Take away the microtransaction-filled shite, and you got some of the best games of all time like The Witcher 3, Grand Theft Auto V, Minecraft, Bloodborne, both Red Dead Redemptions, Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey. Plus the rise of indie titles like the aforementioned Minecraft, FNAF, Undertale, and Shovel Knight.
It ain't perfect, arguably more flawed than the 90s and 2000s, but the good IMO outweighs the good of all previous decades.

90s: Overrated
00s: The decade ended roughly on time rather than completely vanishing into thin air in late 2008 like many people say. Also underrated.
10s: A cultural hellscape. If real life was an anime it would be equivalent to all the shitty filler episodes in between the naruto vs sasuke fight and the end of part 1 naruto.
20s: Not that bad. Lockdown was a problem in 2020 but after Q1 2021 we haven't been in one since. The general culture is a step in the right direction from the 10s. The remainder of obnoxious 2010s music trends like trap are on their death throes, PS5 feels much better to play than the PS4 already despite there being not many games released for it yet due to various reasons like the SSD fast load times and haptic feedback, Fashion is looking like an improvement, 00s nostalgia is coming back fast, pop punk is slowly resurging back to the mainstream, etc.

That was when things started to suck as well. Early 00s culture is what I generally naturally gravitate to yet I can't remember any of it well. Bullshit. It did kind of phase out in the 08-09 school year I will agree with what

It did kind of phase out in the 08-09 school year I will agree with what What happened in 2008 and 2009 is irrelevant to pre 2005. It didn't feel like there was an instant shift into a new decade in late 2008 to me. But of course gatekeep when theres no real reason to.

But of course gatekeep when theres no real reason to. you don't have 2004, 2003, 2002 or 2001 memories to feel all of the 2000s core energy, you only have witnessed late 05, 06, 07, 08 and 09, the bolded is when the 2000s feeling was declining, thats all you have to base your feelings on. So basically your memories become clear of the 2000s when it's foot was already out the door. Which again not your fault, but can cause for some alternate timeline history takes on the decade.
