I mean you hear so much love for 2004 but not really for 2005. How come? I still think 2005 was a classic 2000s year and a pretty kick ass year as well. Now if we were talking about 2006 then I would agree that's when things started to suck.

Yes, it is.
I think the real reason for 2005 being underappreciated is just the fact that it's one hugely mixed bag. I'm nostalgic for it too, but in saying that, I wouldn't say that it was a great year. I personally find a lot of the trends, aesthetics etc. from back then to either be cheesy or cringey in retrospect. It's just really inconsistent. There's some genuinely great albums and movie releases which have stood the test of time, like System of a Down's double-albums, "Sin City", "Madagascar" etc.
However, a lot of the pop culture from back then really hasn't aged well at all. The biggest problem with many of the trends from 2005 is that they just don't have any sort of longevity or general appeal. Everything and everyone was trying to be 'edgy', and I think that's really dated the year in retrospect. There was also that 'trashiness' element to many of the trends of the time. That whole "McBling", excess culture just wouldn't cut it today, especially with the cost-of-living crisis that's going on right now.
It is surprising though that you don't see more nostalgia for 2005 considering it's almost twenty years ago. Those of us who were kids back then are all in our mid-late 20s now, so you would think sites like Reddit, YouTube etc. would be flooded with nostalgia posts for the songs, movies etc. from back then.

2005 had a really good summer. R&B was highly enjoyable and BET still had AJ and Free hosting 106. I find my self struggling to wholeheartedly remember it tho because at the time, 2005 left a sour taste in my month. Hurricane Katrina is the highlight of 2005 for me. I got to evacuate but travel at the same time. I went to Atlanta, and it was like experiencing a new culture. I met a lot of lovely peeps and the school was incredible. They absolutely blew me away.
Its the other good mid 2000s year. I still can't stand We Belong Together but Atlanta is the most joy I got from this year. It will always pale in comparison to 2004. 2004 was interesting and exciting. Early 2006 was more interesting to me.
