It's hard to remember the early 2000's. Like there was this relatively sane world that I have memories of where everything generally made sense and everyone was generally decently well-groomed and kind (at least if you were in the healthy middle class at the time). I remember so much of it, but it's hard to actually, genuinely remember it as it really was since I feel like so many of my memories have been tainted by the eldritch nightmare that is modernity.

I consider the peak of human civilization to be late 90s early 2000s.
No era is perfect and it had its problems, but the good far outweighed the bad.
I heard something recently that made me think though -- Someone said the 70s were the hangover for the 60s that laid the groundwork for the 80s. This framework seems like it could work somewhat -- The 1930s were the hangover for the 1940s, which laid the groundwork for the 1950s. The timing doesn't work perfectly but then we're living in a dynamic system so people are reacting to stuff. The 2010s and 2020s being the hangover for the 1990s and 2000s, leading potentially to a banger in the 2030s? Hard to say, we'll have to see. No matter what though, this moment will pass, as will the next. We live in a dynamic system and the only thing that won't change is things will change.

Before 9/11 there was a lot of optimism. "Year 2000" "New millennium" etc.
Waco and Ruby Ridge notwithstanding, the 90s was not that bad.
The crack epidemic was largely over with the end of Bush1 and Heroin and Oxy wouldn't hit until Bush2.
Nobody knew how good they had it until it was gone.

@Shadowman311 it's hard to remember the early 2000s because popular culture hasn't actually progressed or changed in any meaningful way other than having the volume turned up on anti-whiteness/anti-normality. basically all the cultural sentiments are the same it's just that they're way more explicit and extreme now.

@flux_the_cat @Shadowman311 How I remember the 2000s: Frutiger aero, butt rock, Bu$h, Green Day, 480i interlaced video, fucking amazing PS2 games, frosted tips, DDR, The Game, 4chan, Guy Fawkes masks

@Shadowman311 Early 2000s were such a vibe. It's crazy how far we've fallen.

Visit small town America and you'll catch a glimpse of it.
The noticeable wholesomeness is there in full force. The only thing missing is kids. Nobody has kids anymore.
