I Love the '00s - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

maleficent · 01-18-2005, 06:27 PM

So, I'm sitting here watching VH1s I Love the 90s, and thinking, some of this stuff wasn't all that long ago, and it was really quite shocking or even noteworthy when it occured, must have been to make VH1's list. One of their crowning moments was the movie The Crying Game... (I think this movie gave some guys I knew nightmares for weeks)

Anyhow... the point of my topic... The year is now 2020... where has the time gone... and playing on your 75 inch digital television that you picked up at a yardsale for 15 dollars is VH1 I love the 2000's. What are some of the things from the past five years that will be fodder for them to make fun of.

Coppertop · 01-18-2005, 06:28 PM

I think the 2000 election should qualify.

No need to turn this into a thread about political topics!

I wanted to add Harry Potter!

MMORPGs have become a huge thing in this decade. I hate it, but it is definitely true. Cell phones. People can't take a shit without calling their friends. Also, the decline in decent music. Finally, the Tilted forums~
