r/generationology has the WORST takes https://www.reddit.com/r/generationology/comments/us0izo/follow_up_to_my_previous_post_about_the_overall/  Seems mostly reasonable to me. This guy is basing it off cultural eras rather than numerical eras.

Now do you see how bad this take is?

LOL @ that chart saying 2007 hardly felt like the 2000s, wuttttt early part of 07 DEF had a ton of influence 2007 was definitely more late 2000s than mid. 2007 did have lots of mid 00s influence but, absolutely no early 00s influence. Still not as bad a take as 2014. That is the worst take on the chart. Also the fact he thinks late 90s influences lasted until 2004-2005. Like everything up until 2003, I can see, but 2004-2005 are pretty much core 00s years with zero influence from either the 2010s or 90s.

Im beginning to think the late 00s should really be defined by the recession(2008-mid 2009). Late 2006 is not that big of a shift, it's overhyped because people want to align cultural eras with numerical eras.

And IMO, I think the 2006-2007 school year is more late 00s than mid, especially when you look at gaming and tech.

And IMO, I think the 2006-2007 school year is more late 00s than mid, especially when you look at gaming and tech. Technically very very hair end of 2007 like somewhere late in the last month. Like how COVID was at the very hair end of 2019 but it was a 2020 thing. You may say that but you and most people define late 00s culture as mid 00s culture but with some tweaks. 2005-2007 are relatively similar compared to say 2015-2017. The PS3 and WII came out but it's not like many people had them at launch. Sexyback was popular in late 2006 but it wasn't until late 2008/early 2009 when electropop took over. The arguments I see in the late 2006 shift meme are overhyped and fallacious as hell. Like the last year before the iphone released? Even though that would make 2007 hypothetically the shift, which it wasn't anyway because no one had it in 2007. Last DBZ movie released is also pretty stupid when the show ended a decade ago. 2006 really just had the changes you get every year besides youtube getting more popular(wasn't ubiquitous however).

Yes, in fact, it was a laughing stock when it first came out and didn't really become popular until 2009. Wii? Widely considered to have one of the best launches of any game console ever. EVERYBODY wanted one, and the fact it was the cheapest console out there made it popular from day one. Not to mention, the Xbox 360 also really began taking off following the release of Gears of War.

Very few people actually had a Wii in 2006. Maybe it sold well for a launch window standards but in terms of how many people actually had one basically no one. Like 4-5 mil at best iirc which shouldn't be surprising since it was only present in that year for 2 months. Console launches don't instantly kickstart a new generation of gaming the same way a new decade doesn't instantly kickstart a new culture. The PS5 has been out for almlost 2 years but everything is still made to run on decade old PS4 hardware.
