Take comfort in the present moment, enjoy the music, and know that you have the strength and resilience to navigate through the tough times. Remember that brighter days await you, and you are not alone in facing these challenges. Keep looking for those moments of peace and aliveness, as they can be powerful sources of strength and hope.
I'm truly sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Losing a loved one at a young age can be incredibly difficult, and it's completely understandable to feel a deep sense of longing and grief. The bond between a parent and child is unique and profound, and it's natural to miss the presence and support they offered. While I cannot fully understand your pain, I want you to know that it's okay to feel a mix of emotions, including sadness and longing. It's important to give yourself permission to grieve and to seek support from friends, family, or a counselor who can provide a listening ear during this challenging time. Remembering your mother and holding onto the memories you shared can be a way to honor her legacy. Though she may not physically be with you, the love and experiences you had together will always be a part of you. It's normal to hope for a reunion in the future, and finding comfort in that hope can be a source of solace. Take care of yourself, and remember that it's alright to lean on others for support as you navigate through the grieving process.
I absolutely feel your pain. I was 17 when I lost my mom, it was first thing in the morning before any of us had a chance to wake up. I'm 22 now and I hit this playlist because my birthday is February 22nd, 2002. I wanted to feel a sense of longing for a day before the time I was born, if that even makes sense, I miss my mom, so much, every day. not a day goes by without me thinking about her.
@@catus7787it’s a good thing, I don’t either I just enjoy the moment. All the concerts, girlfriends, relationships, events, birthdays, situations where I just looked up in the sky and said it was the best day of my life. I know I had them but I forgot. I like to just live in the moment….that’s when you know your really living.
That's the 80s for me. We all used to get together at grandma and grandpa's house after church and for holidays. We were a large extended family and we would gather there. After they had passed, everyone stopped getting together. I was looking at old photos of our gatherings whe visiting my mother. It was indeed another lifetime.
I was born in 1993. The late 90s to mid 2000s were my glory days. When I came home from school, I sat down and watched Arthur and Dragon Tales and then go outside and ride my bike around the neighborhood. On days off school or vacations, I would watch Nickelodeon shows, Dragon Ball Z, and play The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker and Metroid Prime on my Gamecube. And the movies back then were amazing. We had Rush Hour, Shrek, Spider-Man, and the whole nine yards. That period of time really was a vibe.
@@LuiD_2005 lol that’s like everyone’s childhood though? Sitting around playing videos games and watching movies😂 that doesn’t make anyone’s childhood actually “good”
@@llcoolg8682 We either played video games, Watched cartoons or went outside to play.. Playing games today *is not* like it was back in the 2000’s and before then…so, no It isn’t like everyone’s childhood, js
Nowadays we are either playing video games online or on tablet/phone on social media. I've went back to reading books like dairy of a wimpy kid but it kind of feels off like i should be on youtube instead. I don't know anymore I really do miss the 2000s
It sounds like you have wonderful memories from your childhood and adolescence in the late 90s to mid-2000s. Many people look back on their younger years with nostalgia, as it often represents a time of simplicity, innocence, and joy. The TV shows, movies, and video games you mentioned were indeed beloved by many during that era and left a lasting impact on a generation. The activities you engaged in, such as watching favorite shows, playing video games, and riding your bike outdoors, provided a sense of enjoyment and freedom. These experiences helped shape your personal interests and have now become cherished memories. Having a strong connection to a particular period of time is not uncommon, as it represents a formative phase in our lives. Those years can hold a special significance that later periods may not entirely replicate. Nostalgia for that era can bring comfort and a sense of longing for the past. While it's natural to feel a sense of nostalgia for the past, it's important to appreciate the present as well. Each era has its own unique opportunities and experiences to offer. Embracing the current moment and finding joy in the present can also help create valuable memories for the future. So, as you reflect on those glorious days, treasure the memories and the positive experiences they brought you. At the same time, be open to embracing new adventures and creating new golden moments in the era you find yourself in now.
I found an old photo of my parents and 3 year old me taken in 2001 and I was brought to tears by how 20th century it looked, the way we were dressed, how it was staged, our facial expressions. My memories of back then are so hazy, I feel like I've lived 10 lifetimes
I was born in 1997. I truly believe the analog Era will forever be missed. A time when technology & life were separated and not fused. Mannerisms & actions derived from human interactions & not behind a screen.
In 2008 there was this big storm that knocked our fence over and we didn’t have power for a couple days. Instead of watching TV, we listened to my mom read us All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot. We lit candles for light. I just thought I’d share that. Thank you.
Thank you again for sharing this heartwarming memory. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and creativity we possess, and how simple moments can bring us joy and connection.
I remember back in 2008 when i was in elementary school, it snowed in Las Vegas, and that was the first time ever seeing snow. It was like a whole new experience because Las Vegas doesn't really get snow. After that day, I've been in love with the snow and always want to go to the mountains here in Nevada whenever it snows.
@@_Crybaby_Smuff_ That sounds like a wonderful memory! It must have been really exciting for you to witness something so rare like snow in Las Vegas, especially since it doesn't happen often. It's understandable how that experience sparked your love for snow and the desire to visit the mountains whenever it snows. Nevada's mountains can be a beautiful winter wonderland when covered in snow, offering great opportunities for activities like skiing, snowboarding, or simply enjoying the scenic views. It's great that you have found something you enjoy and can look forward to whenever the snow season arrives. Cherish those snowy moments and continue to create new memories in the snowy mountains of Nevada!
Thank you for sharing that beautiful and heartwarming memory. It sounds like a special moment of togetherness during a challenging time. Sometimes, unexpected events like storms can bring people closer and create precious memories that last a lifetime. The simple act of your mom reading a book and the ambiance created by candlelight likely added a touch of magic to those days without power. Nostalgia often brings forth memories like these, reminding us of the power of connection, love, and the beauty found in simplicity. Thank you for sharing, and I hope this conversation has sparked a sense of appreciation for those cherished moments in your life.
It’s interesting, I used to find it weird as a kid when people glorified the 90s and couldn’t stop trying to relive them and now as an adult I do the exact same to the early 2000s. I guess im finally old enough to understand this level of nostalgia now.
During difficult times, it's important to hold onto these moments and feelings of aliveness. They can serve as reminders that things will indeed get better. Life has a way of ebbing and flowing, and with every storm, there is the potential for calmer skies and brighter days ahead.
I was born in 2007. I’m an adopted son to parents with children born in the late 80s and early 90s. I have a good connection with my siblings so I almost feel like I lived in the time of their childhood. I’m feeling nostalgia for times I’ve never experienced.
WARNING! you are now approaching the barrier of the world. there is nothing on the other side worth going put of bounds for. turn back now or risk permanent suspension of the game. you have been warned.
I remember in like 2010 -2012 the 80s nostalgia was in full swing and adults kept talking about how amazing and better it was. It was annoying then but now I understand unfortunately. I would give anything to rewind time to simpler times in my life back in 2001.
Born 1993, when I was around 5/6 me and my family had to move to Germany, Osnabruck because my Dad was stationed there for being in the British Army. We stayed there until 2001. I can honestly say from what memories are still there in my head, are the best years of my life. If I could just relive those days, just for a few hours, I would be so happy. I spend hours crying happy/sad tears on Google Earth Pro with the time machine of the maps. Seeing my old Primary School before it was demolished. Seeing the Army barracks my dad was at before that too was sadly demolished. Seeing my old childhood home which I haven't seen since we left 23 years ago. It's even more saddening with how Germany's privacy laws are. Google Street view is practically none existent. So the buildings and the streets I fondly remember are mainly just these pixelated resemblances of buildings that I still vividly remember from my childhood but I can't see how are now or was a few years ago. I only have what I remember, and the odd remnants of videos here on TH-cam which is extremely lacking and rare to find Thankfully some time last year, Germany finally lifted those privacy laws for Google Maps Street view and i finally got to see my home again for the first time since we all left way back in 2001. I will be honest. I've never cried so much in such a long time. It was harrowingly different everywhere i looked around Osnabruck but I could also see things that haven't changed at all. The walks we went on, the Warner Brothers Movie Theme Park down south near Dorsten. Pony rides in the woods and picking the oldest one there who was called Boris. I picked him all the time because he liked to eat the grass a lot which made the ride last longer so I could spend more time with him. The little & big lake walk just behind the Nettebad. The traditional Christmas Markets in the town centre. Playing video games when my Dad finally came home on my Playstation 1, we would try and beat the games in one day but never could because I didn't have a memory card. Getting excited whenever Pokemon was on the TV. Friends round mine to share the big swimming pool I had. Watching Halloween Town before going out trick or treating. Finding our first ever pet, a kitten abandoned behind a grit bin while we were on a bike ride and taking her home, we named her Millie. So many memories. All lost to time. With only old VHS tapes & photographs to try and relive those memories at least just a tiny bit. Oh what Id do just to go back to those days. Nostalgia is such a beautiful but cruel mistress. I hate to love it and love to hate it. I Miss you Osnabruck. I miss you childhood. But. I have a baby daughter now. And I honestly can not wait to be the best father I can possibly be. And to make everlasting memories with her that she can look back on and smile just as much as I do looking back at the ones I made with my Mum & Dad. Oh Germany. Oh Osnabruck. Oh childhood. You were the best of days. I'll revisit you one day. With the whole family hopefully.
I just went to my first German Christmas market in Osnabrück last year. Having been born in the usa, I’ve never seen something so beautiful like it before. I visit there a few times a year. I hope you can return someday with your family.
Yeah Bro i grow up in a town in Germany since 2 years i live also in osnabrück i know i can‘t feel Like you that way because you Are older and grow up in Osnabrück but i feel Like you in the way of my old town
@@hylketromp5076 no bro i was Born 2009 and i live in a small City near Frankfurt i live 2 years in Osnabrück and ist Great i know i Can Not feel the Same way Bro because ist Not my childhood anymore

I think your early 20s are a very weird time for nostalgia. I think you can feel nostalgia much younger, but right around 21/22 I think is the first time you become truly reflective, looking back on earlier years of your life with the sudden realisation you have lived through, experienced and remember different eras of time. Before then I think you are so busy with being a kid/teenager and growing up, everything is new and exciting. At 23 for myself I now feel like life has changed beyond recognition since the 2000s and realising I am old enough for the first time to actually look back at different time periods within my own memory is staggering
Just wait, I'm 33 and the last 10 years absolutely flew by. I feel like I should be your age, 23 still. It goes faster and faster and faster every year.
Yeah imagine what it must be like for us that had our childhoods before the internet was available. Imagine what it must be like for people like Betty White. It’s the main thing motivating me to live longer…just wanting to go through all the fascinating changes in society. I want to see what we invent next. Even if it all goes to shit, at least I’ll be a “lucky one” with memories of better times.
2001 was a time when both my parents were alive and together, my brothers all still lived at home, none of them having gone down the dark paths they've taken since then.... This picture really brings me back to my childhood house in Royal Oak, Mi during those dark winter nights...
Royal Oak ain't the place it used to be in those days. I remember how nice that area was then. I grew up a little south of there, between Detroit's west side and downriver. Some things have changed quite a bit, but alot's stayed the same too. I've visited a few times since I've left and seen the changes, but I can't wait to come back to it all.
As someone who grew up in Waterford Mi , I can say that my own town has kinda gone to shit over the years. Strangely enough, 2021 has been the greatest year of my life so far ( I’m 20 right now ). That summer was just magic looking back on it, I was 17 heading into senior year in a much better mental state, my ocd wasn’t crazy like it is today. Being a huge car enthusiast, I’d hang out on woodward ave with my friends that summer and go to all the car meets. The 2010’s were good, but man, it was just something about 2021. A lot of it was probably because I moved houses and school districts and met my first love, we didn’t last but I made great memories.
Reminds me of when I was in junior high and after school I would plow through my homework as fast as possible so I could call my best friend on our land lines, and we would create google docs full of pictures we found on google together with our shared email. The sound on my home desktop was broken so she would often play music on her end of the landline and it would come through all grainy but I could get the gist of the beat, we'd talk about warrior cats books together, make up stories together. I still have our old email, and all the google docs of pictures from back then. I miss those times, the world feels to complicated these days, everything is so high strung like some sort of looming threat I can't see is going to swoop out of no where and rot away everything I see. I would give anything just to go back to the days where even if I was bored out of my mind, the world was still something exciting to me.
The thing I try to remind myself is that right now is also a 'golden age' that I will look back on with fondness years from now. With that knowledge I can enjoy this time more, despite the valleys we walk through. Ultimately though, it's my faith in something higher, beyond myself that finally overcomes that looming, that fear. ~Proverbs 1:33
I was born in '95 so I grew up in a totally different time than now. Sitting here at 2 am and wondering where the times have gone. The people I grew up with moved on with their lives or became long distant memories. Just in a blink of an eye, everything goes by so quick. This playlist really brings out memories of me growing up with my grandmother in a small quiet town. I remember the carefree times I would be playing with my cousins or sitting out on the grass in the park nearby her house watching sunsets every now and then with her. I want to see her one more time, I miss her so much. Just painful and somewhat bittersweet memories.
The hazy yellow of the house, the lights, the sky, hell the entire picture. This color reminds me of cold winter nights when I'd sit in the living room and look out the window, or the yellow lights outside my father's car window as we'd drive to his house. That color. It makes me happy. It reminds me of when times were a bit...easier.
Same here. I missed when times were much, MUCH easier. When we didn't have to worry about gas being crazy expensive. -When we didn't have to worry about presidents.- When we didn't have to work really hard to make money. Heck, when ppl were nicer.
February 22, 2001. Calgary, Alberta. Coming home from an evening shift in the electronics department of Zellers. A fresh layer of snow covers the ground. It won’t last long though as next week, the chinook winds will come down from the Rockies and bring temporary warmth to the city. You park your 1990 Chevy Caprice and step out. You are greeted by the biting chill from the cold. You don’t complain though as you are used to it by now. You go into your house and go right to bed, the warmth from the sheets making you drift off to sleep. You dream of going to Hawaii and when you wake up the next day to get ready for work, you tell yourself that one day you will be able to go to Hawaii. And so the cycle repeats. Just a normal day in early 2000s in Canada.
I’d give anything to wake up in my bed a little kid again back in 2001. Those days are getting so far behind me that they almost feel like a dream that I woke up from. How could I have know I was living in my happiest and most carefree days? I would have cherished every moment because it would over before I knew it
@sianefer-ptah1258we didn't have TV in our pockets, so no, its not the same. Being born with iPad in hand is way different from a TV in the living room.
Your appreciation for the playlist and the memories it invokes is a lovely sentiment to express. It's a testament to the power of music to connect us to our past and evoke emotions that we may have forgotten over time. Whether it's through a TH-cam comment or any other form of expression, it's important to acknowledge and embrace those moments of nostalgia and appreciation.
I was in High School in 2001... its amazing how so many of us growing up in that era have like this memory marker of things that happened before or after 09/11/2001! It's amazing how much life changed after that and how much technology really impacted all of us since.
31 year old checking in. A lot of folks pine for the time period in which I grew up and wish they could use a time machine to relive it or experience it for the first time. I do feel nostalgia for parts of it, I can’t deny it...but I don’t miss it. My home life was terrible. I’m happy to be here now, safe in my own home with my found family, where I am free to make my own choices and live my life without being abused. I can make the best years of my life happen _today._
Dude this took me to a decent memory of a winter night in 2004, I was playing with my toy soldiers and lego building. Storm outside, dark inside, radio goes with different songs. This is like the same feeling. 2000's had that strange yet comforting vibe deep in our souls
I was born in March '99 and grew up moving around a lot as a kid due to my dad being in the army. This fits the vibes of those latenight drives to a new country, waking up in an empty house because we didn't get our furniture yet. Waking up in a packed car on the side of the road because my dad was exhausted driving.... It reminds me of those days as a child, it's vaguely unpleasant and tugs at my heart but there's a sense of comfort there. It's strange, thank you.
i believe firmly people are just a collection of experiences and reactions to those said experiences While little things may not be valued by most i find a deep appreciation for your comment May you find your place in the end from one wandering soul to another, may you be able to make this life rich with experience, and a profound sense of gratitude and presence in your day to day life ! Stop to smell the roses my friend, you never know where your last moment lies and that is the beauty of it all
I born in 94, never experienced snow days because I lived 20 years in south america, now Im living in Canada, everything is great but in autumn I really feel how time pass and I feel sooo nostalgic. This playlist transport me to another time, when I was a child and only play with my games, do my homeworks and go to sleep ... thank u for share this video, hehe
I try not to get too sentimental in the TH-cam comments section, but I really appreciate this playlist. It takes me back to the early 2000's. It was another time with its own problems and unhappinessses, its own happinesses and qualities. I suppose I must love it because that was when I was a kid. But that being said, I'm happy that I was a kid at that time. Thanks for a great playlist.
It's wonderful to hear that the playlist resonates with you and takes you back to the early 2000s. Music has a unique way of transporting us to different periods of our lives and evoking emotions associated with those moments.
Sometimes, it's the little things like these that remind us of the beauty and resilience of life. They can offer us a sense of peace and calm, even in the face of challenges. Music, in particular, has a way of soothing our souls and helping us find comfort and inspiration.
Dude, February 2001, pre 9/11. I havent seen comments from anybody my age it seems, so I'll say what ive said, pre 9/11 still felt like a carefree extension of the 90s. On Sept 11, 2001, things turned serious, shit got very real, and if you were a kid old enough to know what was going on, innocent life was over. You knew what the world was capable of, because you saw it on tv or in person. I moved not far from NYC the year after and remember kids balling their eyes out on the 1 year because they lost somebody there. I remember all that shit. I dont remember February 2001, but i know it was good. I had just gotten into music and had gotten linkin park hybrid theory that year and a cd player. My favorite album at the time. That and anthology by alien ant farm. Haha. Anyways, yeah. It really was a different time that will never be replicated. For us as Americans, anyways. Obviously my experience doesnt match somebody in Sudan's at the time. But now in America, most of us are just hanging on, when back then, there was hope and prosperity still.
I relate to this. I was in 4th grade when 9/11 happened. Life pre 9/11 was completely different Full of wonder and enchanting I’ve heard so many people my age and older say this
amazing and odd that this video popped in my recommended. february 22, 2001 was the date of my first birthday. feels very meaningful. thank you for this mix
February 22nd, 2001 was the date of my 0th birthday, just seeing this melancholic playlist pop up calling out my EXACT birthdate was pretty eye-catching to say the least lol.
At my job I work with people who need financial assistance. I got atleast 4 calls today from people born between 2001-2002, nearly all mothers with babies and toddlers. I don't have kids of my own yet, and I'm 6 years older than these people, it boggles me so much. What happened? How did 20+ years go so quick.. how did we go from playing outside and getting toys for christmas, eating luncheables after school and waking up for saturday morning cartoons.. not having a care in the world, to feeling like my life stopped peaking after 2014.. it feels like we've been scammed.. all we do now is work work work, no time to dream.. no time to be carefree.. no time to remember what having fun was like anymore.. it's insane to think that my life will never be like the life I had in 2001.. it will never compare And I will carry this thought for the rest of my life..
These are the minutes of the songs in case you want to know: (sorry if i have bad english, im using the translator) 1- 0:01 : nevermind, everything's okay 2- 3:20 : Mice on Venus but extra nostalgic 3- 5:57 : Instupendo - Six forty seven 4- 8:00 : Yume Nikki Ost - Snow world 5- 8:51 : Xori - Warm Nights 6- 10:29 : plasmama - [mi i ma k e r U] 7- 12:40 : School Rooftop [Slowed down version] 8- 15:54 : Undertale - Fallen Down [Slowed] 9- 19:18 : It's just a burning memory [Slowed + Reverb] 10- 23:33 : backroom labyrinth 11- 26:25 : Pilotredsun - Greetings 12- 29:56 : the inside of tears 13- 32:27 : Mario Kart 8 - Toad's Turnpike [Slowed + Reverb] 14- 35:32 : flying 15- 38:58 : Instupendo - Comfort Chain
That song @35:32 ....That is absolutely something else. I am running on 2 hours sleep, I been up for many hours. it is 6:36 AM, my mind is fuzzy and im chugging a NOS energy going over old baby photos of myself. Let me tell you. That song was exactly what I needed. God. Bless. You. This is the exact vibe I was looking for. Take my sub you earned it.
It's fantastic to hear that the song at 35:32 in the playlist resonated with you in such a profound way. Music has an incredible ability to reach deep within us, especially during moments when we're feeling tired or nostalgic. By subscribing, you not only show your support but also create an opportunity to discover more music that aligns with your preferences and resonates with you on a deep level.
I was born in January of 2004, but playlists like this feel so... odd. It's completely impossible, but it feels like things between December 31st, 1999 and December 2003 is buried in my memories somewhere, just out of reach and hazy, but still calling to me. It's almost enough to send me into a panic. I love it. Edit: Delighted to hear this is a common feeling, regardless of generation. I wasn't expecting this kind of response at all.
You just described a feeling that I've never been able to put into words, but is exactly how I feel about the early 90's though having been born in the mid 90's. Thank you for this.
ME every time I hear OoT's title screen. I can *feel* myself in front of a CRT playing it for the first time when it launched in 1998...despite the fact I was born in 2001. Time is a fickle mistress.
The nostalgia for the early 2000’s feels like a hole where my heart use to be. It’s an emptiness that’s hard to explain. It feels like the loss of the person you love most. It feels like longing for something you’ll never be able to reach.
I started tearing up because of this video. Just remebering my time as a child. The simplicity. It makes me want to jump in my car at 3 am and go see my mom. I cant deacribe the feeling this gives me.
It's always so hopeful for me to see the ways we adapt and use the internet to cope with our emptiness. This playlist is so beautiful, I'm moved to tears.
I was born in '06, and I used to be into nostalgic things and thinking of childhood memories - while thinking dismally of the present. But, I learned that the present is what you make it. I still watch DVDs, have a VHS player, and sit down and play on my Wii for a bit... which ironically, is the same age as me. I don't have a cellphone yet, and so really haven't been exposed to whatever the world of social media may be. I play old CDs on the stereo, and dance to them. My high school experience has been through online school + during a pandemic, which I've begun to look back on and think about just what kind of personal growth I endured. The future is bright, and even if things get ugly, God is there. So I really don't have anything to worry about :)
i'm pleasantly surprised everyone leaving comments is the correct demographic to have nostalgia for a past time with retro games, snow days, and foggy walks. everyone is here to share their own notes of bittersweetness. nothing too intense, just the peculiar bits to look back on fondly. i like that a lot. thank you liminal playlist comments for keeping it comfy 😊
@@thaumiel7 growing up sucks for that reason, but once you realize that kindness and goodness still exists in a world as messed up as ours, that even for a second that hope and excitement can be regained i urge you to not let the weight of life keep you down, Good luck ! i wish you the best internet stranger
In 2001, I was living with my gf in a 2b 1b house out in the country, working at the local golf course country club. We each got our first cell phones because of 9/11. Nokia 6310. We watched Dexter's Lab, Power Puff Girls, and the X-Files. Dial-up modem for the "world wide web", but we spent more time reading books, walking the dog, and going to movies. Pokémon was huge. I still have my original pogs. It was a simple time, but would become more complicated sooner than I expected. I miss her, the house, the dog, both cats, the golf course, and the lazy summer days. It might've been the best time of my life. I was 22. Now I'm a divorced single father with 3 children I'm raising by myself, working a job that makes me wish a zombie apocalypse was a real thing just so I wouldn't have to go to work anymore. I remember I used to joke with my Dad about how old he was and he would say, "if you keep having birthdays, it'll happen to you too," and we would just fall out laughing. He died in 2018 from pancreatic cancer. Damn. Anyway, if you got this far, thanks for listening. I hope you all live a wonderful life that makes you smile on the inside. Peace. 💌
Never got to experience much of the 2000's or early 2010's internet till 2014... but this has feeling nostalgic for it... I wish I could have experienced it... -w-"
I miss my past so much. Everyone was alive and together. It's now a day before Christmas 2023 and all I can think about is the joy I felt in everything. I recall sitting in my room on Saturday mornings eating cereal with cartoons on TV, picking little wildflowers in the backyard, playing with old pets that died long ago and riding bikes with friends I no longer talk to. I felt like I would be a kid forever and yet....here I am. Everything seems so faded. What happened to that joyful world I loved so much?
I had a playlist of songs similar to this when driving through Alaska during the dead of winter once. Snow all around me, foggy, it was eerily beautiful. Songs like this just set the mood so perfectly. Anytime I listen to ambient works like this, I always remember that winter drive.
I was born in 2000 but the first thing I remembered around those times was 2002, watching my older brother playing super Mario 64 on an old crt, gosh I haven't seen crts in a long time. I am glad I was born around this time to see how stuff change it was very fascinating. For example playing on n64 to now a days a Nintendo switch or my pc
Listening to this while looking at pictures from the 2000s. Everything from people to neighborhoods. Theres only pieces left. Nature and time are the most powerful and painful things to watch as they slowly consume and evolve everything
@@1990muthafukin1 think it was around 2015 was when things started to shift. Less anonymity, rise of the "professional victim", normies discovering "niche" corners and changing the weird that the internet use to be. On TH-cam in particular, remember that was when trash "Talk Shows" and other boring stuff flooded the "trending" pages and the odd little channels were being phased out. Now, it's a dive to find that stuff
I would definitely say the 2000s and early 2010s were good to great times despite not being perfect. I do think all of us can pave the way toward better futures rather than dwelling in the past.
Totally agree. I was born late February in 2002. something about that time up until 2013 was just perfect, for me, at least. When me and my best buddies were little, we had technology, but the internet was still a pretty uncommercialized and "friendly" place. Videogames were strictly for enjoyment's sake and not cash grabbers full of DLC. At nearly any point, music was iconic and rarely was there ever anything close to as bad as it is now. I miss the early 2000s so badly sometimes. I was such in a rush to grow up, be an adult, and have a place of my own. But now, I just wish I could go back to 2009-2013. No responsibilities or things to worry about, just playing my DS in the car and hanging out with my dad again like we used to do. If you're a kid reading this, there's nothing wrong with being exactly that; a kid. Even though I know what it's like to be a child, and wanting to become an adult as fast as possible, but take it from me: Don't be in a rush to grow up. One day, you will miss being where you are now, and you'll be upset with yourself for taking it for granted.
I’d read my books happily,chat to my parents,make up stuff with my imagination,when we’d go out to toys ‘r us on my dad’s salary days,me and my brother would have the time of our lives,we’d go to historical places in my country and me and my brother played tag in the halls,when i’d come home from school,i’d watch ninjago and other cartoons..the times were nice
Born in 1995. Everything you feel about liminal Y2K is accurate. This captures a bittersweet feeling that was there then. It's now faded, a bit blurry, just like those sights and sounds.
I cant even describe the feeling of the late 90s to early 2000s. Everything was just right even though it wasnt for our parents but as a kid man, everything was so fucking good. Cartoons were good, videogames were actually complete with no paying for every little thing. Commercials were actually fun to watch (gushers, fruit roll ups, danimals, kids cuisine etc.) The air and feeling of the late summer nights of the early 2000s were just so different from now. Somehow you could actually feel the year changing over time. Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving have all lost their celebration and not a lot of people are in that spirit anymore. Its kind of just there.

much like the picture used for this playlist, there's something so comforting about low-definition photos. I want the fuzzy nostalgia of bank security cameras again
This makes me want to pick up photography again and picture the feelings it provides me. It reminds me of simpler times, when the world wasn’t moving around me so fast it’s blinding. Putting into art these feelings of bittersweet nostalgia is hard, it’s slow snow falls when you don’t hear a sound outside and it’s late night walks when you look at the flickering lights in houses. It’s the feeling of static on an old TV when you pass your fingers on the screen, it’s warm yet kind of dark.
february 22, 2001 was the day after my 10th birthday. the memories are simultaneously hazy yet powerful; i can still visualize scrawling dates ending in -01 on the top right corners of my schoolwork. being so excited to have reached "double digits" and realizing i could finally reach the kitchen cabinets without pulling myself up onto the counter. i had yet to experience loss - my first taste came later that year. life was exciting. life was good.
It's remarkable how certain dates and milestones can bring back such vivid memories, even if they may be a bit hazy. Your description of the time after your 10th birthday, with scrawling dates ending in -01 on your schoolwork, resonates deeply. It's those small details that can transport us back to a specific time in our lives.
One of my earliest memories was a blizzard around Christmas time, idk how old I was but it was probably 2005 or 2006, I remember looking out of our living room window at the snow while with my mom. The winter but specifically November/December will always hold a special place in my heart.
It makes me imagine walking through a dense fog, somewhere quite remote, Oregon or Alaska. With few inhabitants in a town and looking for a place to drink a beer. It is inevitable to have a certain Silent Hill vibe. In short, it is great ambience.
while a lot of these comments are about nostalgia, i wonder if theres a term for the feeling of knowing something will end relatively soon and grieving it prematurely...like being aware that youre currently living in a future memory. its like that split second after you trip before you actually hit the ground but youre already able to anticipate the inevitable pain. knowing that you will eventually be nostalgic about the exact period of time youre experiencing right now. sometimes id prefer to be less aware than i am.
In 2001 I was -7 but even though I wasn’t alive I can believe so that it was a valid time. I grew up in the 2010’s but this video still brings back memories, faded and bittersweet.
you know like some certain songs gives nostalgia while you look at old pictures of your past? yeah, this is what I'm getting off from this playlist. idk why but sometimes its nice to remember the good past days, think about the happy moments you had with your friends and family, laugh about those cringe moments and sometimes even regret but in the end of the day, no matter what, I still have to move on, adding more pages to my book of life.
When it comes to looking at the past, i like to use past memories at more of a reference of what I am looking for now. More to give me a sense if direction to find something new related to what i use to like to ether ignite a new passion or reignite an old one. Regardless of the case, I concur with your last statement, all we can really do is move forward, but it's better to move froward with hopefulness rather a pessimistic outlook.
Forget about the past. Do what you can with your great inner willpower now so that when you're an old withered leaf, you'll look back and say "Yeah...I was that man that kicked ass." Yes the 2000s were the good old days but time only moves forward. You have the power within to be great plus I'll guess you're adults now that have more freedom and not have your parents limit you like the old days. The power within is unlimited. No matter what happens, never let your inner child die.
I was born in 2002. I was always told that I was born in the wrong generation. There is some truth to that as except for my cellphone and TH-cam account, I live like I am from the 1980s and 90s. In fact I wish it was 2001-2003 and not 2023 as I can picture myself owning a 1987-90 Chevy Caprice, working part time at Zellers (Canadian version of Walmart but is like Kmart in the US and extinct) and having an old (then new) Windows XP desktop for gaming and laptop. I do have an XP laptop and funny story, from 2012-2021, it was the only thing I used as I was stubborn until ended up getting a windows 10 laptop which I still use to make my content. Man this playlist hits me hard and brings back memories of 2013-16 and simpler times.
I’m not so different from then ‘til now. I still fold my laundry in the soft light at night with a nostalgic playlist, a notebook close at hand and let serenity take over. My late night thoughts for only me - it’s not happy that it’s so; it’s not sad- it simply is. I feel beautiful in these moments when I’m completely alone and have nowhere to go. I let the laundry pile up until I must do something about it, and tomorrow morning will be like any other day but I’ll wake up to a clear floor to set my feet upon, and it will feel good and I’ll be happy I did that. I’m not so different from then ‘til now.
I LOVE WHEN I CAN FIND WINTER THEMED LIMINAL THINGS, IT MAKES ME FROTH AT THE MOUTH WITH JOY, IT IS MY FAVORITE GENDER, MY BONES NO LONGER ITCH AND CRAVE FOR LIMINAL WINTERS
I was born in January of 2001. My earliest memory is playing Pokémon and Super Mario on the GBA with my brother in the snowy winter of 2004. I miss being a kid, worrying about nothing but missing an episode of my favorite cartoon...
February 22, 2001. I was the only child in my family so far. My parents were still together and loved each other. I was young and enamored with the world. Unlucky.
Did anyone play sounds or music in their head when they played with toys, but that ambience would break when an adult called you for something, like leaving a childlike wonder.
reminds me of the times when I would stay up late watching cartoon network and adult swim would air after awhile. I was too young to understand the premise of those shows, especially the bumps, but they have place in my heart.
weirdly nostalgic in all the oddest ways, especially with all the internet deep cuts like Yume Niki music, ENA, Pilot Red Sun. Even manages to use the familiarity of Undertale and MK8 to get me...
I walked home from elementary school one day and remembered a green grape in the crack of the curb I stepped on. I looked down on it and decided to remember. It's been 30 years. I still remember.
That song is a really interesting song! It comes from a wider series of songs that try to musically depict the worsening effects of dementia on a person’s brain. It’s a 6 hour song that coincides with the 6 stages of dementia. You may not care but I just felt like sharing the backstory.
im on the kitchen making dinner. it just finished raining so theres this fresh breeze coming through the window. some of my cats are playing and some of them are sleeping. im going through some tough times right now. but as i look through the window and see the lightning, i feel alive. and as i hear the thunders slowly going away i feel alive. and as i hear these songs i feel alive, and i feel peaceful, and calm. things will get better.
It sounds like you are finding solace and joy in the simple moments of everyday life, even amidst tough times. The fresh breeze, the playful cats, and the peaceful ambiance created by the rain and lightning all contribute to a sense of being alive and present in the moment.
It really saddens me to think that the 2000s will probably be some of the last best years of my life, when not an ounce of stress was spent on everything it's spent on now, in the 2020s
90s kids were really the last generation to grow up knowing what life was like before technology took over. as much as I love technology I miss the slowness of life, I didnt think about time, I just existed. I hope one day community is valued again. not being a slave to our phones, being present in the moment, take photos with film because something as a physical memory is so raw. The winter night sky always had a dullness to it but felt warm and comforting at the same time. I miss being a kid in the 90s
Odd… i was born on this day in the exact year… thank you Dan, for this unusual birthday playlist. I’ll see to it that i listen to this every birthday from now on.
I’m kind of pissed that I was born in 2009, these songs and stories make me want to have the experiences all of these people who were born in the 90s or very early 2000s had, there is some heavy hitting stuff here.
I feel you as someone born in 2007. But atleast look at the positives on your own experiences. One day gen z nostalgia will be envied by the younger generations much like how millennial nostalgia is envied by us zoomers. (Btw, 2024 is the last year that gen alphas will be born, gen beta will be coming soon)
Wow that's crazy, I was born in 2000, I remember seeing these exact scenes up until about 2012. After that I guess the world did end. Because it certainly hasn't been the same ever since. Why does time have to vanish like that?
I was born in 2000 crazy to see how In so little time the world has completely changed the way things are today compared to 2000 just feels like a fever dream now
I was a teenager in the 00s and hated it because everything was obviously worse than in the 90s except for the internet. But looking back I should have appreciated things more and been more engaged. While everything is worse today, we should appreciate where we’re at in time because we don’t know what the future brings.
this was recommended to me on Feb 22nd of 2024. There is no snow on the ground. I've already seen the first robin of the year. The birds are already singing. how strange.
reading comments from people around my age (i'm on the cusp of 25, hooray..) about how this playlist makes us feel is simultaneously validating and isolating. i feel like a lot of people experience nostalgia and see it as a good thing. or, that there's anything remotely pleasant about it. it's *painful* to me. perhaps it's because i have a problem with depersonalization, and have been stuck in that state since 2013. life genuinely doesn't feel real anymore. i'm hoping this floating, windowed version of my life will come to an end soon. i hope we can all fucking wake up.
I miss my mom. She passed when I was 14. I'm 23 now. Everything felt so much more alive when she was around. I hope I see her again some day.
Take comfort in the present moment, enjoy the music, and know that you have the strength and resilience to navigate through the tough times. Remember that brighter days await you, and you are not alone in facing these challenges. Keep looking for those moments of peace and aliveness, as they can be powerful sources of strength and hope.
I'm truly sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Losing a loved one at a young age can be incredibly difficult, and it's completely understandable to feel a deep sense of longing and grief. The bond between a parent and child is unique and profound, and it's natural to miss the presence and support they offered.
While I cannot fully understand your pain, I want you to know that it's okay to feel a mix of emotions, including sadness and longing. It's important to give yourself permission to grieve and to seek support from friends, family, or a counselor who can provide a listening ear during this challenging time.
Remembering your mother and holding onto the memories you shared can be a way to honor her legacy. Though she may not physically be with you, the love and experiences you had together will always be a part of you. It's normal to hope for a reunion in the future, and finding comfort in that hope can be a source of solace.
Take care of yourself, and remember that it's alright to lean on others for support as you navigate through the grieving process.
I absolutely feel your pain. I was 17 when I lost my mom, it was first thing in the morning before any of us had a chance to wake up. I'm 22 now and I hit this playlist because my birthday is February 22nd, 2002. I wanted to feel a sense of longing for a day before the time I was born, if that even makes sense, I miss my mom, so much, every day. not a day goes by without me thinking about her.
I understand.....mine passed when I was 16 in a hit and run.....turning 23 in 2 days!! These songs comfort me
You're not alone man, lost her at the exact same age. Been doing okay, but damn do I shed a tear every time I laid eyes on photos of her.
It’s that feeling you hit in your life where you’re thinking “oh damn, that time really is gone” with all that’s left of is photos
its hurts more when yourealize that you don't really have any such memories.
wish there was more videos of me back then instead of just thousands of pictures
this is the absolutely truth! i miss that days. Natsukashii!
@@catus7787it’s a good thing, I don’t either I just enjoy the moment. All the concerts, girlfriends, relationships, events, birthdays, situations where I just looked up in the sky and said it was the best day of my life. I know I had them but I forgot. I like to just live in the moment….that’s when you know your really living.
That's the 80s for me. We all used to get together at grandma and grandpa's house after church and for holidays. We were a large extended family and we would gather there. After they had passed, everyone stopped getting together. I was looking at old photos of our gatherings whe visiting my mother. It was indeed another lifetime.
I was born in 1993. The late 90s to mid 2000s were my glory days. When I came home from school, I sat down and watched Arthur and Dragon Tales and then go outside and ride my bike around the neighborhood. On days off school or vacations, I would watch Nickelodeon shows, Dragon Ball Z, and play The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker and Metroid Prime on my Gamecube. And the movies back then were amazing. We had Rush Hour, Shrek, Spider-Man, and the whole nine yards. That period of time really was a vibe.
Man, you had a really good childhood.
@@LuiD_2005 lol that’s like everyone’s childhood though? Sitting around playing videos games and watching movies😂 that doesn’t make anyone’s childhood actually “good”
@@llcoolg8682 We either played video games, Watched cartoons or went outside to play.. Playing games today *is not* like it was back in the 2000’s and before then…so, no It isn’t like everyone’s childhood, js
Nowadays we are either playing video games online or on tablet/phone on social media. I've went back to reading books like dairy of a wimpy kid but it kind of feels off like i should be on youtube instead. I don't know anymore I really do miss the 2000s
It sounds like you have wonderful memories from your childhood and adolescence in the late 90s to mid-2000s. Many people look back on their younger years with nostalgia, as it often represents a time of simplicity, innocence, and joy. The TV shows, movies, and video games you mentioned were indeed beloved by many during that era and left a lasting impact on a generation. The activities you engaged in, such as watching favorite shows, playing video games, and riding your bike outdoors, provided a sense of enjoyment and freedom. These experiences helped shape your personal interests and have now become cherished memories. Having a strong connection to a particular period of time is not uncommon, as it represents a formative phase in our lives. Those years can hold a special significance that later periods may not entirely replicate. Nostalgia for that era can bring comfort and a sense of longing for the past. While it's natural to feel a sense of nostalgia for the past, it's important to appreciate the present as well. Each era has its own unique opportunities and experiences to offer. Embracing the current moment and finding joy in the present can also help create valuable memories for the future. So, as you reflect on those glorious days, treasure the memories and the positive experiences they brought you. At the same time, be open to embracing new adventures and creating new golden moments in the era you find yourself in now.
I found an old photo of my parents and 3 year old me taken in 2001 and I was brought to tears by how 20th century it looked, the way we were dressed, how it was staged, our facial expressions. My memories of back then are so hazy, I feel like I've lived 10 lifetimes
I was born in 1997. I truly believe the analog Era will forever be missed. A time when technology & life were separated and not fused. Mannerisms & actions derived from human interactions & not behind a screen.
Nice

@@abg44 You are the first person that has genuinely encaptured my feelings on this. This was beautifully put.
@@abg44yea :/ everyone’s worried about being on camera now
Youre living in a time right this minute that you will one day feel nostalgia for.
Extremely underrated comment
@@ClaireSamuelsVA I mean, Im not. But you guys are.

Maybe.
If you're lucky.
In 2008 there was this big storm that knocked our fence over and we didn’t have power for a couple days. Instead of watching TV, we listened to my mom read us All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot. We lit candles for light. I just thought I’d share that. Thank you.
Thank you again for sharing this heartwarming memory. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and creativity we possess, and how simple moments can bring us joy and connection.
I remember back in 2008 when i was in elementary school, it snowed in Las Vegas, and that was the first time ever seeing snow. It was like a whole new experience because Las Vegas doesn't really get snow. After that day, I've been in love with the snow and always want to go to the mountains here in Nevada whenever it snows.
@@_Crybaby_Smuff_ That sounds like a wonderful memory! It must have been really exciting for you to witness something so rare like snow in Las Vegas, especially since it doesn't happen often. It's understandable how that experience sparked your love for snow and the desire to visit the mountains whenever it snows. Nevada's mountains can be a beautiful winter wonderland when covered in snow, offering great opportunities for activities like skiing, snowboarding, or simply enjoying the scenic views. It's great that you have found something you enjoy and can look forward to whenever the snow season arrives. Cherish those snowy moments and continue to create new memories in the snowy mountains of Nevada!
Thank you for sharing that beautiful and heartwarming memory. It sounds like a special moment of togetherness during a challenging time. Sometimes, unexpected events like storms can bring people closer and create precious memories that last a lifetime. The simple act of your mom reading a book and the ambiance created by candlelight likely added a touch of magic to those days without power. Nostalgia often brings forth memories like these, reminding us of the power of connection, love, and the beauty found in simplicity. Thank you for sharing, and I hope this conversation has sparked a sense of appreciation for those cherished moments in your life.
i was born that year...
It’s interesting, I used to find it weird as a kid when people glorified the 90s and couldn’t stop trying to relive them and now as an adult I do the exact same to the early 2000s. I guess im finally old enough to understand this level of nostalgia now.
During difficult times, it's important to hold onto these moments and feelings of aliveness. They can serve as reminders that things will indeed get better. Life has a way of ebbing and flowing, and with every storm, there is the potential for calmer skies and brighter days ahead.
It’s called being a hater lmao 😅
@@PoisonelleMisty4311for a random TH-cam comment this weirdly meaningful and profound
nostalgia builds ontop of each other is always a thing I forget about until that decade is gone
I was born in 2007. I’m an adopted son to parents with children born in the late 80s and early 90s. I have a good connection with my siblings so I almost feel like I lived in the time of their childhood. I’m feeling nostalgia for times I’ve never experienced.
That feeling is a good brotherhood connection that is not found in many, you are both lucky friend😀😊
Played this song while I was walking in some really dense fog this morning. Felt like I was out of bounds or something
WARNING! you are now approaching the barrier of the world. there is nothing on the other side worth going put of bounds for. turn back now or risk permanent suspension of the game. you have been warned.
@@spingleboygleoh no!
Careful! If you go too far out of bounds you might get locked out of reality
Well, this is a "liminal" playlist after all.
Now do the same thing and smoke weed 😊
The 2020s are so bad that the 2000s have become a long ago golden age in comparison
I remember in like 2010 -2012 the 80s nostalgia was in full swing and adults kept talking about how amazing and better it was. It was annoying then but now I understand unfortunately. I would give anything to rewind time to simpler times in my life back in 2001.
Bro, forget any specific era. I just want to go back to the past - any time before now.
I wonder if we'll sing praises of the 2020s during the 2040s like we do with the 2000s now.
I would love to go back to the early 2010s@@vinsoriano493
If we even make it that far.@@thecomputerwhiz1
Born 1993, when I was around 5/6 me and my family had to move to Germany, Osnabruck because my Dad was stationed there for being in the British Army. We stayed there until 2001. I can honestly say from what memories are still there in my head, are the best years of my life. If I could just relive those days, just for a few hours, I would be so happy.
I spend hours crying happy/sad tears on Google Earth Pro with the time machine of the maps. Seeing my old Primary School before it was demolished. Seeing the Army barracks my dad was at before that too was sadly demolished. Seeing my old childhood home which I haven't seen since we left 23 years ago.
It's even more saddening with how Germany's privacy laws are. Google Street view is practically none existent. So the buildings and the streets I fondly remember are mainly just these pixelated resemblances of buildings that I still vividly remember from my childhood but I can't see how are now or was a few years ago. I only have what I remember, and the odd remnants of videos here on TH-cam which is extremely lacking and rare to find
Thankfully some time last year, Germany finally lifted those privacy laws for Google Maps Street view and i finally got to see my home again for the first time since we all left way back in 2001. I will be honest. I've never cried so much in such a long time. It was harrowingly different everywhere i looked around Osnabruck but I could also see things that haven't changed at all.
The walks we went on, the Warner Brothers Movie Theme Park down south near Dorsten. Pony rides in the woods and picking the oldest one there who was called Boris. I picked him all the time because he liked to eat the grass a lot which made the ride last longer so I could spend more time with him. The little & big lake walk just behind the Nettebad. The traditional Christmas Markets in the town centre. Playing video games when my Dad finally came home on my Playstation 1, we would try and beat the games in one day but never could because I didn't have a memory card. Getting excited whenever Pokemon was on the TV. Friends round mine to share the big swimming pool I had.
Watching Halloween Town before going out trick or treating. Finding our first ever pet, a kitten abandoned behind a grit bin while we were on a bike ride and taking her home, we named her Millie. So many memories. All lost to time. With only old VHS tapes & photographs to try and relive those memories at least just a tiny bit.
Oh what Id do just to go back to those days. Nostalgia is such a beautiful but cruel mistress. I hate to love it and love to hate it. I Miss you Osnabruck. I miss you childhood.
But. I have a baby daughter now. And I honestly can not wait to be the best father I can possibly be. And to make everlasting memories with her that she can look back on and smile just as much as I do looking back at the ones I made with my Mum & Dad.
Oh Germany. Oh Osnabruck. Oh childhood. You were the best of days. I'll revisit you one day. With the whole family hopefully.
Lucky Bro! I was born 2010
I just went to my first German Christmas market in Osnabrück last year. Having been born in the usa, I’ve never seen something so beautiful like it before. I visit there a few times a year. I hope you can return someday with your family.
Yeah Bro i grow up in a town in Germany since 2 years i live also in osnabrück i know i can‘t feel Like you that way because you Are older and grow up in Osnabrück but i feel Like you in the way of my old town
That's crazy. I was born in '94. Also moved in 2001 when I was 5 or 6. The days before we moved where the happiest years of my life.

Thank you
I think your early 20s are a very weird time for nostalgia. I think you can feel nostalgia much younger, but right around 21/22 I think is the first time you become truly reflective, looking back on earlier years of your life with the sudden realisation you have lived through, experienced and remember different eras of time. Before then I think you are so busy with being a kid/teenager and growing up, everything is new and exciting. At 23 for myself I now feel like life has changed beyond recognition since the 2000s and realising I am old enough for the first time to actually look back at different time periods within my own memory is staggering
Just wait, I'm 33 and the last 10 years absolutely flew by. I feel like I should be your age, 23 still. It goes faster and faster and faster every year.
Im 40 and time speeds up, still having more fun that ever though.
Yeah imagine what it must be like for us that had our childhoods before the internet was available.
Imagine what it must be like for people like Betty White.
It’s the main thing motivating me to live longer…just wanting to go through all the fascinating changes in society. I want to see what we invent next.
Even if it all goes to shit, at least I’ll be a “lucky one” with memories of better times.
I do that and I’m 18 man damn
I’m 35 now and remember being 21 like it was yesterday. 😢
2001 was a time when both my parents were alive and together, my brothers all still lived at home, none of them having gone down the dark paths they've taken since then....
This picture really brings me back to my childhood house in Royal Oak, Mi during those dark winter nights...
Royal Oak ain't the place it used to be in those days. I remember how nice that area was then. I grew up a little south of there, between Detroit's west side and downriver. Some things have changed quite a bit, but alot's stayed the same too. I've visited a few times since I've left and seen the changes, but I can't wait to come back to it all.
As someone who grew up in Waterford Mi , I can say that my own town has kinda gone to shit over the years. Strangely enough, 2021 has been the greatest year of my life so far ( I’m 20 right now ). That summer was just magic looking back on it, I was 17 heading into senior year in a much better mental state, my ocd wasn’t crazy like it is today. Being a huge car enthusiast, I’d hang out on woodward ave with my friends that summer and go to all the car meets. The 2010’s were good, but man, it was just something about 2021. A lot of it was probably because I moved houses and school districts and met my first love, we didn’t last but I made great memories.
Reminds me of when I was in junior high and after school I would plow through my homework as fast as possible so I could call my best friend on our land lines, and we would create google docs full of pictures we found on google together with our shared email. The sound on my home desktop was broken so she would often play music on her end of the landline and it would come through all grainy but I could get the gist of the beat, we'd talk about warrior cats books together, make up stories together. I still have our old email, and all the google docs of pictures from back then. I miss those times, the world feels to complicated these days, everything is so high strung like some sort of looming threat I can't see is going to swoop out of no where and rot away everything I see. I would give anything just to go back to the days where even if I was bored out of my mind, the world was still something exciting to me.
💜
beautifully said & me too
The thing I try to remind myself is that right now is also a 'golden age' that I will look back on with fondness years from now. With that knowledge I can enjoy this time more, despite the valleys we walk through. Ultimately though, it's my faith in something higher, beyond myself that finally overcomes that looming, that fear. ~Proverbs 1:33
wow that was beautiful
This resonated deeply with me.
I was born in '95 so I grew up in a totally different time than now. Sitting here at 2 am and wondering where the times have gone. The people I grew up with moved on with their lives or became long distant memories. Just in a blink of an eye, everything goes by so quick. This playlist really brings out memories of me growing up with my grandmother in a small quiet town. I remember the carefree times I would be playing with my cousins or sitting out on the grass in the park nearby her house watching sunsets every now and then with her. I want to see her one more time, I miss her so much. Just painful and somewhat bittersweet memories.
I'm living in your walls
I’m sorry, I understand 💚

Born in 95. It's 2:33 AM. And same.
The hazy yellow of the house, the lights, the sky, hell the entire picture. This color reminds me of cold winter nights when I'd sit in the living room and look out the window, or the yellow lights outside my father's car window as we'd drive to his house. That color. It makes me happy. It reminds me of when times were a bit...easier.
Same here. I missed when times were much, MUCH easier. When we didn't have to worry about gas being crazy expensive. -When we didn't have to worry about presidents.- When we didn't have to work really hard to make money. Heck, when ppl were nicer.
February 22, 2001. Calgary, Alberta. Coming home from an evening shift in the electronics department of Zellers. A fresh layer of snow covers the ground. It won’t last long though as next week, the chinook winds will come down from the Rockies and bring temporary warmth to the city.
You park your 1990 Chevy Caprice and step out. You are greeted by the biting chill from the cold. You don’t complain though as you are used to it by now.
You go into your house and go right to bed, the warmth from the sheets making you drift off to sleep. You dream of going to Hawaii and when you wake up the next day to get ready for work, you tell yourself that one day you will be able to go to Hawaii. And so the cycle repeats. Just a normal day in early 2000s in Canada.
I’d give anything to wake up in my bed a little kid again back in 2001. Those days are getting so far behind me that they almost feel like a dream that I woke up from. How could I have know I was living in my happiest and most carefree days? I would have cherished every moment because it would over before I knew it

The internet has eaten away our humanity
@@ogbee9690 I feel so horrible for the little kids that just sit on their iPad all day because their parents can’t be bothered
@sianefer-ptah1258we didn't have TV in our pockets, so no, its not the same. Being born with iPad in hand is way different from a TV in the living room.
Your appreciation for the playlist and the memories it invokes is a lovely sentiment to express. It's a testament to the power of music to connect us to our past and evoke emotions that we may have forgotten over time. Whether it's through a TH-cam comment or any other form of expression, it's important to acknowledge and embrace those moments of nostalgia and appreciation.
Born in ‘89. The 90’s-2000’s were definitely a special time to be around. This playlist makes me smile.
I was in High School in 2001... its amazing how so many of us growing up in that era have like this memory marker of things that happened before or after 09/11/2001! It's amazing how much life changed after that and how much technology really impacted all of us since.
I was in high school in 2001 also Miss those days all the time,the early 2000s was something special.
I graduated in 2001. I can’t believe how things have changed. I was on the phone with my then girlfriend when the towers fell.
31 year old checking in. A lot of folks pine for the time period in which I grew up and wish they could use a time machine to relive it or experience it for the first time. I do feel nostalgia for parts of it, I can’t deny it...but I don’t miss it. My home life was terrible. I’m happy to be here now, safe in my own home with my found family, where I am free to make my own choices and live my life without being abused. I can make the best years of my life happen _today._
Dude this took me to a decent memory of a winter night in 2004, I was playing with my toy soldiers and lego building. Storm outside, dark inside, radio goes with different songs. This is like the same feeling. 2000's had that strange yet comforting vibe deep in our souls
There’s nothing like those moments that take you back to the wonders of childhood. It’s difficult to keep that feeling for long as an adult.
this is the exact day I was born, and feels and looks like my early childhood. this recommendation had me spinning out. I've saved it to listen later
i was born 1 day after this 😅 its shocking that we’re gonna be 23 soon, its cruel how fast time passes
YO ME TOO DAWG!
Same... Now we're 23 wanting that childhood feeling back
Not gonna lie, that's pretty cool lol
the whole aesthetic and picture feels identical to how it used to feel to me in the early 2000s
Right there with ya troopa
I was born in March '99 and grew up moving around a lot as a kid due to my dad being in the army.
This fits the vibes of those latenight drives to a new country, waking up in an empty house because we didn't get our furniture yet. Waking up in a packed car on the side of the road because my dad was exhausted driving.... It reminds me of those days as a child, it's vaguely unpleasant and tugs at my heart but there's a sense of comfort there. It's strange, thank you.
i believe firmly people are just a collection of experiences and reactions to those said experiences
While little things may not be valued by most i find a deep appreciation for your comment
May you find your place in the end from one wandering soul to another, may you be able to make this life rich with experience, and a profound sense of gratitude and presence in your day to day life !
Stop to smell the roses my friend, you never know where your last moment lies and that is the beauty of it all
What day of March? Just being curious
I was born 8 March (Women's day)
I was also born in 99 and my dad was in the Air Force I know this feeling as well
@@מהשלומךככהככהככהככה March 11th, I don't think there's anything special about it though
I born in 94, never experienced snow days because I lived 20 years in south america, now Im living in Canada, everything is great but in autumn I really feel how time pass and I feel sooo nostalgic. This playlist transport me to another time, when I was a child and only play with my games, do my homeworks and go to sleep ... thank u for share this video, hehe
I try not to get too sentimental in the TH-cam comments section, but I really appreciate this playlist. It takes me back to the early 2000's. It was another time with its own problems and unhappinessses, its own happinesses and qualities. I suppose I must love it because that was when I was a kid. But that being said, I'm happy that I was a kid at that time. Thanks for a great playlist.
funnily enough, none of these tracks existed in 2001, but it feels like they did for some reason.
It's wonderful to hear that the playlist resonates with you and takes you back to the early 2000s. Music has a unique way of transporting us to different periods of our lives and evoking emotions associated with those moments.
Everybody here deserves a warm blanket and a hot chocolate drink for finding this masterpiece

@@chos8761I’ve got both but need some marshmallows for my hot chocolate
Sometimes, it's the little things like these that remind us of the beauty and resilience of life. They can offer us a sense of peace and calm, even in the face of challenges. Music, in particular, has a way of soothing our souls and helping us find comfort and inspiration.
Dude, February 2001, pre 9/11. I havent seen comments from anybody my age it seems, so I'll say what ive said, pre 9/11 still felt like a carefree extension of the 90s. On Sept 11, 2001, things turned serious, shit got very real, and if you were a kid old enough to know what was going on, innocent life was over. You knew what the world was capable of, because you saw it on tv or in person. I moved not far from NYC the year after and remember kids balling their eyes out on the 1 year because they lost somebody there. I remember all that shit. I dont remember February 2001, but i know it was good. I had just gotten into music and had gotten linkin park hybrid theory that year and a cd player. My favorite album at the time. That and anthology by alien ant farm. Haha. Anyways, yeah. It really was a different time that will never be replicated. For us as Americans, anyways. Obviously my experience doesnt match somebody in Sudan's at the time. But now in America, most of us are just hanging on, when back then, there was hope and prosperity still.
I relate to this.
I was in 4th grade when 9/11 happened.
Life pre 9/11 was completely different
Full of wonder and enchanting I’ve heard so many people my age and older say this
amazing and odd that this video popped in my recommended. february 22, 2001 was the date of my first birthday. feels very meaningful. thank you for this mix
I know right! It’s close to my bday! I’m February 26, I turned 10 that year in 2001
it's the date of my half birthday! i was exactly six months old on february 22, 2001
February 22nd, 2001 was the date of my 0th birthday, just seeing this melancholic playlist pop up calling out my EXACT birthdate was pretty eye-catching to say the least lol.
@@tonylopez-russell2631 Happy Birthday!
it was my 3rd birthday, Feb 22, 1999
At my job I work with people who need financial assistance. I got atleast 4 calls today from people born between 2001-2002, nearly all mothers with babies and toddlers. I don't have kids of my own yet, and I'm 6 years older than these people, it boggles me so much. What happened? How did 20+ years go so quick.. how did we go from playing outside and getting toys for christmas, eating luncheables after school and waking up for saturday morning cartoons.. not having a care in the world, to feeling like my life stopped peaking after 2014.. it feels like we've been scammed.. all we do now is work work work, no time to dream.. no time to be carefree.. no time to remember what having fun was like anymore..
it's insane to think that my life will never be like the life I had in 2001.. it will never compare
And I will carry this thought for the rest of my life..
My first son was born in 2000, happiest simplest days I visit in my heart and mind.

thank you, came to the comment section to see the track listing times
That song @35:32 ....That is absolutely something else. I am running on 2 hours sleep, I been up for many hours. it is 6:36 AM, my mind is fuzzy and im chugging a NOS energy going over old baby photos of myself. Let me tell you. That song was exactly what I needed. God. Bless. You. This is the exact vibe I was looking for. Take my sub you earned it.
Real
huh
Bro help..every time I try to search it up it gives a completely different song, what do I look up to find it
It's fantastic to hear that the song at 35:32 in the playlist resonated with you in such a profound way. Music has an incredible ability to reach deep within us, especially during moments when we're feeling tired or nostalgic. By subscribing, you not only show your support but also create an opportunity to discover more music that aligns with your preferences and resonates with you on a deep level.
I was born in January of 2004, but playlists like this feel so... odd. It's completely impossible, but it feels like things between December 31st, 1999 and December 2003 is buried in my memories somewhere, just out of reach and hazy, but still calling to me. It's almost enough to send me into a panic. I love it.
Edit: Delighted to hear this is a common feeling, regardless of generation. I wasn't expecting this kind of response at all.
You just described a feeling that I've never been able to put into words, but is exactly how I feel about the early 90's though having been born in the mid 90's. Thank you for this.
I feel that with late 80s stuff as I was born in 92.
You guys could be remembering past lives
Born in 87, same feels for the 80s.
ME every time I hear OoT's title screen. I can *feel* myself in front of a CRT playing it for the first time when it launched in 1998...despite the fact I was born in 2001.
Time is a fickle mistress.
I was 7 years old at this time. Probably the happiest days of my life, now forever receding deeper into the mists of time…
I've been listening to this on loop for sleep, happy February 22nd...
Good night sweet dreams
Don’t stop. Keep this same energy. This same nostalgic, aesthetic, spacey, wholesome but empty homecoming vibes here man.
Couldn’t have described it better
aesthetic isn't an adjective
The nostalgia for the early 2000’s feels like a hole where my heart use to be. It’s an emptiness that’s hard to explain. It feels like the loss of the person you love most. It feels like longing for something you’ll never be able to reach.
this. this description. nail on the head.
I started tearing up because of this video. Just remebering my time as a child. The simplicity. It makes me want to jump in my car at 3 am and go see my mom. I cant deacribe the feeling this gives me.
snowy liminal spaces just hit different
sollux pfp
big ups
You are right, sollux, those landscapes change the entire environment.
It's always so hopeful for me to see the ways we adapt and use the internet to cope with our emptiness. This playlist is so beautiful, I'm moved to tears.
I was born in '06, and I used to be into nostalgic things and thinking of childhood memories - while thinking dismally of the present. But, I learned that the present is what you make it. I still watch DVDs, have a VHS player, and sit down and play on my Wii for a bit... which ironically, is the same age as me. I don't have a cellphone yet, and so really haven't been exposed to whatever the world of social media may be. I play old CDs on the stereo, and dance to them. My high school experience has been through online school + during a pandemic, which I've begun to look back on and think about just what kind of personal growth I endured. The future is bright, and even if things get ugly, God is there. So I really don't have anything to worry about :)
yea
i'm pleasantly surprised everyone leaving comments is the correct demographic to have nostalgia for a past time with retro games, snow days, and foggy walks. everyone is here to share their own notes of bittersweetness. nothing too intense, just the peculiar bits to look back on fondly. i like that a lot. thank you liminal playlist comments for keeping it comfy 😊
We have nostalgia for it because these happy eras are now gone for most of the US. There's nothing left here to be happy about.

@@UnknownBrowserThank you, GL to you too.
In 2001, I was living with my gf in a 2b 1b house out in the country, working at the local golf course country club. We each got our first cell phones because of 9/11. Nokia 6310. We watched Dexter's Lab, Power Puff Girls, and the X-Files. Dial-up modem for the "world wide web", but we spent more time reading books, walking the dog, and going to movies. Pokémon was huge. I still have my original pogs. It was a simple time, but would become more complicated sooner than I expected. I miss her, the house, the dog, both cats, the golf course, and the lazy summer days. It might've been the best time of my life. I was 22. Now I'm a divorced single father with 3 children I'm raising by myself, working a job that makes me wish a zombie apocalypse was a real thing just so I wouldn't have to go to work anymore. I remember I used to joke with my Dad about how old he was and he would say, "if you keep having birthdays, it'll happen to you too," and we would just fall out laughing. He died in 2018 from pancreatic cancer. Damn. Anyway, if you got this far, thanks for listening. I hope you all live a wonderful life that makes you smile on the inside. Peace. 💌
Never got to experience much of the 2000's or early 2010's internet till 2014... but this has feeling nostalgic for it... I wish I could have experienced it... -w-"
I miss my past so much. Everyone was alive and together. It's now a day before Christmas 2023 and all I can think about is the joy I felt in everything. I recall sitting in my room on Saturday mornings eating cereal with cartoons on TV, picking little wildflowers in the backyard, playing with old pets that died long ago and riding bikes with friends I no longer talk to. I felt like I would be a kid forever and yet....here I am. Everything seems so faded. What happened to that joyful world I loved so much?
You got me tearing up with ‘what happened to the joyful world’ :( damn
I had a playlist of songs similar to this when driving through Alaska during the dead of winter once. Snow all around me, foggy, it was eerily beautiful. Songs like this just set the mood so perfectly. Anytime I listen to ambient works like this, I always remember that winter drive.
I wasnt even born in 2001, but this playlist feels extra nostalgic
this is 4 days before I was born. I missed out
I was born on December 1999 so by February 2001 I was already 1 years old and sadly have no recollection of 2001
I was born in 2000 but the first thing I remembered around those times was 2002, watching my older brother playing super Mario 64 on an old crt, gosh I haven't seen crts in a long time. I am glad I was born around this time to see how stuff change it was very fascinating. For example playing on n64 to now a days a Nintendo switch or my pc
Damn I was born in 95
I was born 9 years later, despite that, i grew up in very old and liminal environments, giving me that nostalgia feeling..
Listening to this while looking at pictures from the 2000s. Everything from people to neighborhoods. Theres only pieces left. Nature and time are the most powerful and painful things to watch as they slowly consume and evolve everything
The early 2000's had a very special feeling to them. It makes me sad to know it's something I'll never be able to experience again.
Amen. I miss them way too much. the 2010's and 20's has been awful
@@1990muthafukin1 think it was around 2015 was when things started to shift. Less anonymity, rise of the "professional victim", normies discovering "niche" corners and changing the weird that the internet use to be. On TH-cam in particular, remember that was when trash "Talk Shows" and other boring stuff flooded the "trending" pages and the odd little channels were being phased out. Now, it's a dive to find that stuff
I would definitely say the 2000s and early 2010s were good to great times despite not being perfect. I do think all of us can pave the way toward better futures rather than dwelling in the past.
@@Pollix780 I concur, but I do think we have the potential to make our own stuff long term. I have a few ideas that I’m working on as a story.
Totally agree. I was born late February in 2002. something about that time up until 2013 was just perfect, for me, at least. When me and my best buddies were little, we had technology, but the internet was still a pretty uncommercialized and "friendly" place. Videogames were strictly for enjoyment's sake and not cash grabbers full of DLC. At nearly any point, music was iconic and rarely was there ever anything close to as bad as it is now.
I miss the early 2000s so badly sometimes. I was such in a rush to grow up, be an adult, and have a place of my own. But now, I just wish I could go back to 2009-2013. No responsibilities or things to worry about, just playing my DS in the car and hanging out with my dad again like we used to do.
If you're a kid reading this, there's nothing wrong with being exactly that; a kid. Even though I know what it's like to be a child, and wanting to become an adult as fast as possible, but take it from me: Don't be in a rush to grow up. One day, you will miss being where you are now, and you'll be upset with yourself for taking it for granted.
The way i feel so much nostalgia,even if i was born in the mid-late 2000s,2015-2016 was the golden age for me.
I’d read my books happily,chat to my parents,make up stuff with my imagination,when we’d go out to toys ‘r us on my dad’s salary days,me and my brother would have the time of our lives,we’d go to historical places in my country and me and my brother played tag in the halls,when i’d come home from school,i’d watch ninjago and other cartoons..the times were nice
Born in 1995. Everything you feel about liminal Y2K is accurate. This captures a bittersweet feeling that was there then. It's now faded, a bit blurry, just like those sights and sounds.
I cant even describe the feeling of the late 90s to early 2000s. Everything was just right even though it wasnt for our parents but as a kid man, everything was so fucking good. Cartoons were good, videogames were actually complete with no paying for every little thing. Commercials were actually fun to watch (gushers, fruit roll ups, danimals, kids cuisine etc.) The air and feeling of the late summer nights of the early 2000s were just so different from now. Somehow you could actually feel the year changing over time. Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving have all lost their celebration and not a lot of people are in that spirit anymore. Its kind of just there.
man ive been in such a weird mood all day and this is really helping my brain vibe a little better so i can finish my work. thanks bro

much like the picture used for this playlist, there's something so comforting about low-definition photos. I want the fuzzy nostalgia of bank security cameras again
honestly in a way it kinda seems easier on the eyes
This makes me want to pick up photography again and picture the feelings it provides me. It reminds me of simpler times, when the world wasn’t moving around me so fast it’s blinding. Putting into art these feelings of bittersweet nostalgia is hard, it’s slow snow falls when you don’t hear a sound outside and it’s late night walks when you look at the flickering lights in houses. It’s the feeling of static on an old TV when you pass your fingers on the screen, it’s warm yet kind of dark.

february 22, 2001 was the day after my 10th birthday. the memories are simultaneously hazy yet powerful; i can still visualize scrawling dates ending in -01 on the top right corners of my schoolwork. being so excited to have reached "double digits" and realizing i could finally reach the kitchen cabinets without pulling myself up onto the counter. i had yet to experience loss - my first taste came later that year. life was exciting. life was good.
It's remarkable how certain dates and milestones can bring back such vivid memories, even if they may be a bit hazy. Your description of the time after your 10th birthday, with scrawling dates ending in -01 on your schoolwork, resonates deeply. It's those small details that can transport us back to a specific time in our lives.
Definitely wasn't the intent of this playlist, but this just eased my pain in probably the most difficult time of my life. I feel okay now. Thank you.
Hope you are doing okay :)
@@richarddresden6869 I'm okay, thank you :)
@@xandeath75 Glad to hear!
One of my earliest memories was a blizzard around Christmas time, idk how old I was but it was probably 2005 or 2006, I remember looking out of our living room window at the snow while with my mom. The winter but specifically November/December will always hold a special place in my heart.
Over a year later and I still often come back to this playlist when studying or writing. Thank you for one of my favorite playlists.
It makes me imagine walking through a dense fog, somewhere quite remote, Oregon or Alaska. With few inhabitants in a town and looking for a place to drink a beer. It is inevitable to have a certain Silent Hill vibe. In short, it is great ambience.
while a lot of these comments are about nostalgia, i wonder if theres a term for the feeling of knowing something will end relatively soon and grieving it prematurely...like being aware that youre currently living in a future memory. its like that split second after you trip before you actually hit the ground but youre already able to anticipate the inevitable pain. knowing that you will eventually be nostalgic about the exact period of time youre experiencing right now. sometimes id prefer to be less aware than i am.
In 2001 I was -7 but even though I wasn’t alive I can believe so that it was a valid time. I grew up in the 2010’s but this video still brings back memories, faded and bittersweet.
I really love this, so chilling and heartfelt
you know like some certain songs gives nostalgia while you look at old pictures of your past? yeah, this is what I'm getting off from this playlist. idk why but sometimes its nice to remember the good past days, think about the happy moments you had with your friends and family, laugh about those cringe moments and sometimes even regret but in the end of the day, no matter what, I still have to move on, adding more pages to my book of life.
That’s true
When it comes to looking at the past, i like to use past memories at more of a reference of what I am looking for now. More to give me a sense if direction to find something new related to what i use to like to ether ignite a new passion or reignite an old one.
Regardless of the case, I concur with your last statement, all we can really do is move forward, but it's better to move froward with hopefulness rather a pessimistic outlook.
Forget about the past. Do what you can with your great inner willpower now so that when you're an old withered leaf, you'll look back and say "Yeah...I was that man that kicked ass."
Yes the 2000s were the good old days but time only moves forward. You have the power within to be great plus I'll guess you're adults now that have more freedom and not have your parents limit you like the old days. The power within is unlimited.
No matter what happens, never let your inner child die.
I was born in 2002. I was always told that I was born in the wrong generation. There is some truth to that as except for my cellphone and TH-cam account, I live like I am from the 1980s and 90s. In fact I wish it was 2001-2003 and not 2023 as I can picture myself owning a 1987-90 Chevy Caprice, working part time at Zellers (Canadian version of Walmart but is like Kmart in the US and extinct) and having an old (then new) Windows XP desktop for gaming and laptop. I do have an XP laptop and funny story, from 2012-2021, it was the only thing I used as I was stubborn until ended up getting a windows 10 laptop which I still use to make my content. Man this playlist hits me hard and brings back memories of 2013-16 and simpler times.
dates are pretty interesting
I’m not so different from then ‘til now. I still fold my laundry in the soft light at night with a nostalgic playlist, a notebook close at hand and let serenity take over. My late night thoughts for only me - it’s not happy that it’s so; it’s not sad- it simply is. I feel beautiful in these moments when I’m completely alone and have nowhere to go. I let the laundry pile up until I must do something about it, and tomorrow morning will be like any other day but I’ll wake up to a clear floor to set my feet upon, and it will feel good and I’ll be happy I did that. I’m not so different from then ‘til now.
I LOVE WHEN I CAN FIND WINTER THEMED LIMINAL THINGS, IT MAKES ME FROTH AT THE MOUTH WITH JOY, IT IS MY FAVORITE GENDER, MY BONES NO LONGER ITCH AND CRAVE FOR LIMINAL WINTERS
I was born in January of 2001. My earliest memory is playing Pokémon and Super Mario on the GBA with my brother in the snowy winter of 2004. I miss being a kid, worrying about nothing but missing an episode of my favorite cartoon...
February 22, 2001. I was the only child in my family so far. My parents were still together and loved each other. I was young and enamored with the world. Unlucky.
Did anyone play sounds or music in their head when they played with toys, but that ambience would break when an adult called you for something, like leaving a childlike wonder.
reminds me of the times when I would stay up late watching cartoon network and adult swim would air after awhile. I was too young to understand the premise of those shows, especially the bumps, but they have place in my heart.
February 22nd 2001, exactly two years before I was born. Coincidentally, this is the best playlist I've ever found on TH-cam. Thank you.
weirdly nostalgic in all the oddest ways, especially with all the internet deep cuts like Yume Niki music, ENA, Pilot Red Sun. Even manages to use the familiarity of Undertale and MK8 to get me...
It's THE phantom arcade no way.
1:05 bud leaked his home screen
lmfao,just saw it now too
I love how there's a massive boost all of a sudden in early 2000's aesthetic. Perfect time to execute my project.
I walked home from elementary school one day and remembered a green grape in the crack of the curb I stepped on. I looked down on it and decided to remember. It's been 30 years. I still remember.
Very good playlist. The one called "it's Just a burning Memory" felt so strange.. something that that reminds me of early 80s. I was impressed
That song is a really interesting song! It comes from a wider series of songs that try to musically depict the worsening effects of dementia on a person’s brain. It’s a 6 hour song that coincides with the 6 stages of dementia. You may not care but I just felt like sharing the backstory.
I like how a playlist that has my birthday as its title was recommended to me.
im on the kitchen making dinner. it just finished raining so theres this fresh breeze coming through the window. some of my cats are playing and some of them are sleeping. im going through some tough times right now. but as i look through the window and see the lightning, i feel alive. and as i hear the thunders slowly going away i feel alive. and as i hear these songs i feel alive, and i feel peaceful, and calm. things will get better.
i was born in '01, so this is the reason why i clicked on this playlist. and i dont regret a single bit. thank you so much for it
It sounds like you are finding solace and joy in the simple moments of everyday life, even amidst tough times. The fresh breeze, the playful cats, and the peaceful ambiance created by the rain and lightning all contribute to a sense of being alive and present in the moment.
it's going to be okay, i have faith în you be strong
It really saddens me to think that the 2000s will probably be some of the last best years of my life, when not an ounce of stress was spent on everything it's spent on now, in the 2020s
90s kids were really the last generation to grow up knowing what life was like before technology took over. as much as I love technology I miss the slowness of life, I didnt think about time, I just existed. I hope one day community is valued again. not being a slave to our phones, being present in the moment, take photos with film because something as a physical memory is so raw. The winter night sky always had a dullness to it but felt warm and comforting at the same time. I miss being a kid in the 90s
Nah 20s kids are
Nah. That's up straight up boomer ignorance.
Odd… i was born on this day in the exact year… thank you Dan, for this unusual birthday playlist. I’ll see to it that i listen to this every birthday from now on.
me feb 21st 2001, I know a couple people born on the 22nd
we will never experience the calmness of the early 00s again. the time really is gone.
I’m kind of pissed that I was born in 2009, these songs and stories make me want to have the experiences all of these people who were born in the 90s or very early 2000s had, there is some heavy hitting stuff here.
I feel you as someone born in 2007. But atleast look at the positives on your own experiences. One day gen z nostalgia will be envied by the younger generations much like how millennial nostalgia is envied by us zoomers.
(Btw, 2024 is the last year that gen alphas will be born, gen beta will be coming soon)
Wow that's crazy, I was born in 2000, I remember seeing these exact scenes up until about 2012. After that I guess the world did end. Because it certainly hasn't been the same ever since. Why does time have to vanish like that?
I was born in 2000 crazy to see how In so little time the world has completely changed the way things are today compared to 2000 just feels like a fever dream now
I was a teenager in the 00s and hated it because everything was obviously worse than in the 90s except for the internet. But looking back I should have appreciated things more and been more engaged. While everything is worse today, we should appreciate where we’re at in time because we don’t know what the future brings.
This playlist hits hard, popped up yesterday which was 2/22.
this playlist makes me feel hysterical feelings or loneliness, anger, sadness, and nostalgia
this was recommended to me on Feb 22nd of 2024. There is no snow on the ground. I've already seen the first robin of the year. The birds are already singing. how strange.
reading comments from people around my age (i'm on the cusp of 25, hooray..) about how this playlist makes us feel is simultaneously validating and isolating. i feel like a lot of people experience nostalgia and see it as a good thing. or, that there's anything remotely pleasant about it. it's *painful* to me. perhaps it's because i have a problem with depersonalization, and have been stuck in that state since 2013. life genuinely doesn't feel real anymore. i'm hoping this floating, windowed version of my life will come to an end soon. i hope we can all fucking wake up.
I'm with you, I'll be 25 in June and can't believe it. I wish I could just go back for one day, that's all I would ask for
