Same here dude being born in 2000 we got to see the evolution of technology at its peak, went from flip phones to the iPhone, watched social media take over, and got to live without a screen for a few years. It’s crazy now how kids get a phone when they turn like 10, I feel lucky to have been able to live through the last few years where tech wasn’t absolutely everywhere. Don’t get me wrong I love having access to all of it but I’m glad I got to experience the final years where it wasn’t all consuming. It will never be like that again 😪
As someone born in '98, this video felt like a retelling of my childhood. I miss the simple days back then. I didn't have much but I didn't realize it. There were no worries and everyday was carefree.
As a 96 baby, I can confirm that I the 2000s were indeed the shit. Blockbuster movies, going to the library to chill on the pc and do my homework, McDonald's play places were sick, actual social interaction in the neighborhood, playing xbox at my friends house, Yu Gi Oh duels with the neighbors with those forearm card holders from GX, discovering TH-cam's inception, funny junk, Bloons TD, Season 1 SpongeBob. God damn! I could really drag on for hours.
As a 00's kid seeing society changing so much in a matter of 20 years is almost scary. It makes the 00's seem as the ideal time. No social media, no internet on our phones. Kids would play outside and hang out without phones, the only tech we had was our game consoles. We weren't netwired 24/7 or consumed like technology like today. We got to live, and be children. Kids nowadays grow up so differently, and so much faster. I was blessed to be a kid in that era..
Legit. I was born in 2000, and I didn't even get internet until I was about 11 years old. Before that, we had an internet dongle (Does anybody nowadays even know what they are?) that we used to plug into my sisters laptop that she borrowed from school and never gave back. It had windows XP on it, and we used to play minesweeper and space pinball on it. Going on youtube using that dongle was my first introduction to Owl city's other songs, since "Fireflies" was always on the radio back then - He's still one of my favourite artists to this day. My first phone was a brick that you had to press the numbers multiple times to get 1 letter, and I barely even used it. My mum and sister would literally just text me "I love you" every now and again and that was it. I played outside with my brother and our friend at the time, and we used to climb trees, have stick sword fights, or play on the trampoline. I used to collect yugioh cards and we used to play against each other. I had a DS and a wii and stuff, but I only played on it when I wasn't out. I used to think having 100 hours on my pokemon platinum save was an insanely long amount of playtime, yet now I have thousands of hours on some games. I used to watch monsters inc on repeat on VHS for some reason, and yet, it's been so long since I've seen it that my memory of the film is pretty foggy. It's mad how different it is today. My nephew, who is 10 years old now, had a smartphone when he was like, 6 years old. I got my first smartphone at 17 (Granted that was still pretty late by that time, most people I know had one at about 13 or 14. It was 2018 when I got one haha). He basically never goes outside, he's always playing on his playstation. He doesn't know what a VHS is, and doesn't even know the difference between a CD and a DVD. He's never known life without the internet and social media, I'm pretty sure he has had an instagram account for years, despite 13 being the minimum age for it, and he's always on tiktok. Some of the things he says and does baffle me for a kid that age. It's like kids today just don't want to be kids - they get ashamed of it. It's really sad. I'm very grateful we got to grow up in pretty much the last time period where kids just got to be kids and weren't exposed to all the crap on social media.
@@CCoreOW Exactly, precisely!! I 100% identify with what you say!!! We are only like 10 or even less years apart from today's kids, but we grew up SO massively differently it feels like we're worlds apart!!
Born in 1987 and still this is exactly how it was to grow up in the 90s, just change the DS for a Gameboy and the Wii for a Snes or up to a PlayStation (late 90s)… but the pranks, sleepovers, the phone, parents checking if you were already asleep, everything was there. What a nostalgia trip ❤
As an early 2010s kid, I really wish I could experience the 2000s, but I find it cool that in like 10 years the 2010s will feel really old and in 20 years the 2020s will feel old and so on, because then everyone gets to experience that great feeling of nostalgia
I was born in 2002. Just turned 20 in October. The mid/late-2000s into the early 2010s were the best days of my life. Perfect time to grow up and just be a kid. Kids just don't grow up the same today. Too much social media and all that type of stuff.
i was born 1990 and im 32, the 90s and 2000s were the top eras of being a kid yep kids nowadays born 2007+ dont live the same as us, they grew up with tiktok
I was born on the same month as you. Even though I am not American this video resembles very strongly to my childhood. Whenever I go to a restaurant and I see parents who let their 8yo kids watch tiktok and play mobile games while eating, I see the real generational gap. Maybe we are the last generation that is going to have a normal attention span...
Me too! Being born in 2000, I grew up with some SpongeBob and Scooby Doo tapes. Plus I can even recall watching Nicktoons at the age 3, though on the TV I can really mostly recall the logo on the bottom right
1988 here and VHS and games consoles was our world, especially Disney movies. We had no internet, no mobiles, no computer and needed cable TV to get good cartoons.
I was born in the year 2000 and I can relate to a lot of these things. Also this takes me back back to the good old days. The mid-late 2000s-early 2010s was my childhood era.
As a 2004 kid, this video reminds me of so much nostalgia from that time. I loved the little gadgets and colorful items of that time. My older sister was born in 2001 and I showed her this video and we laughed and reminisced on the memories that we shared. I remember playing the new super mario bros and her getting mad that I kept dying and wouldn't let me out of the bubble.
@@apersonyoudontknow3346 crazy that a rando can tell me what I do and don't remember. It screams chronically online. Go outside and touch grass, I promise it won't hurt you. Also, *were *literally
@@apersonyoudontknow3346 I was in kindergarten and yes I still have vivid memories of 2010 up till today. It was only 13 years ago. 80 year Olds can vividly remeber things from 60 years ago, so why can't I remeber something from a little over a decade?
Ah yes when parents actually regulated video games and electronic play time, to make sure us kids would do other activities like play outside and draw or read
I’m genuinely surprised to hear people had regulated play time for video games, but I guess I always liked to draw or play with my sisters so my mom probably wasn’t too worried
No they didn't lmao my parents sure as hell didn't regulate my time or make me play outside, and neither did the parents of any of my friends at school.
I was born in 2000, and growing up during that time was just something that can't be recreated... Technology and internet was so much simpler back then - it was fun when we did log on, but social media wasn't controlling every aspect of our lives. It really brought me back when you said you would play your DS first thing in the morning rather than text your friends - I miss that so much.
I mean most people still don’t give their kids personal devices. I wouldn’t get my kid an iPad/phone before age 10. I’m also banning cocomelon from my future home too!!
Being born in the 90s and growing up in the 2000s is a trip. I still heavily remember & love a lot of 90s pop culture & much stuff I had was hand me downs from then. A lot of 2000s tech I didnt get until late in the decade.
Im a Brazilian and i was born in 2009, and since we werent a First world country like you, i basically had the 2000s childhood. We didnt update to 2010s until like 2016.
I was born in the very late 90s, but being a kid in the early 2000s felt great. This entire video described my childhood. The early 2000s and late 2010s is an era I miss
This is one of the cutest, most wholesome videos I've ever watched. Very relateable. 90s brat over here lol, y'all Y2K babies grew up just like we did, but without all of the 80s washover that made the 90s cool. You got a subscriber and the video ain't even finish yet lol. Please keep making more, you've got something special here
I'm from 2003 and DAMN, this video is just a nostalgia bomb. What an amazing decade. Everything seemed more simple, the perfect blend between technology and normal human life. I wouldn't say today is the absolute worst, every decade has it's problems, but it certainly felt different. Truly a shame it's all just memories now
@@ballbag reminds me of a time where online this kid was like "i wish i could go back to the old days" i was like "yeah i can relate to that! how old are you?" they said 15. like bruhhh. i told him he is def gonna miss being 15 when he is 20. i'm 22 and i know i will miss being in my 20's
Being born in 2005 was great, There was no TikTok, No toxic online friend groups, Just memorable childhood moments, 2023 is NOTHING like the 2000s, I miss you buddy, we all do :(.
I dunno how you would possibly remember the 2000's being born in 2005. I was born in the 90's and don't remember anything of it. Just growing up in the 2000's is all I know.
@@joshuawilliams2447 unless they’re born with older siblings but I was the only child and the first console I remember having was a psp, 3ds and ps4, I was too young when the ps3 was out
Your childhood would have been Vine on a iPhone 5 so that means your childhood was the same as kids today with TikTok on a iPhone 13. Why then do you have a superiority complex over small children who are growing up with a slightly better version of what you grew up with? That would be like me saying that my childhood was better because I grew up with PS3 rather than PS5 even though they are the same thing just an older version. A boomer would think they are the same as they are the same thing.
Nah this video was SPOT ON. as a lower middle class 04’ kid every single point hit hard. As I’ve now entered adulthood it’s so crazy to see how we’re starting to look back at our childhoods so fondly. Also crazy how we all lived the such similar childhoods
Ngl I'm 2 years younger as a 06' kid but I can relate so much to this I remember when I just to play fancy pants, gravity guy, jetpack joyride, pixel gun and wii games and even my original 3DS back in the day, it was so much fun... Now I just feel old I mean hell Pixel Gun came out in 2010 wtf
2000s was such a nostalgic yet surreal time to be alive, with the the earth stages of technology starting to really take off, I think we got some of the most lovely memories ever.
Anyone born around the late 80’s to early 00’s really got to see the world evolve at such a rapid pace man. We all existed in a time where video games and internet were barely around to becoming a regular thing. No smart phones, it really was just a different time.
@@hypervenom6200yeah more like late 80s to like 95 or 96. I was born in 98, and while I did experience things like dialup, only having VHS tapes, having a CD Walkman, no social media, no wifi, and no smartphones, it was relatively short lived. I feel like 1997-2000 is in this weird middle period of being almost a 90s childhood but then having massive technological changes in your late childhood.
I feel like them 00s kids didn’t experience it quite like us. By the time they’d gotten old enough to know what’s going on the internet was in full swing, online gaming was a thing, smart phones were appearing. Going to high school before anyone really had phones and shit was awesome. Growing up on Cartoon Network, Dragonball z, Pokemon, yugioh, gameboy, ps1, sega Megadrive and all that good stuff was class. But also really seeing technology go from 0 - 100. I dunno where I fit on the scale man, born in 95, spent majority of childhood with my 93 cousin. I feel old hearing about this guy being a lil kid using his ds. Maybe I just got all the technology and stuff late here in the uk. I feel like I relate way more to the 90s and early 00s than these guys looking back on the DS and Wii as their childhood consoles. Pokémon pearl ffs? That ain’t even proper Pokémon.
Being born in '95, I saw the remains of the TV antenna, I used those VHS tapes as well with the habit of rewinding them. Hearing the Dial-up Internet, the rise of the PS2 and awakening of the xbox, while wanting a Gamecube on top of having the PS1 for game variety. Watching Digimon and pokemon that were aired back-to-back on the TV. Nostalgic days :3
The 2000’s was the last decade before the social media as we know it today. Completely took over, possibly even for the worse. The 2000’s feel like a completely different time. Compared to what we deal with today.
I was born in the 90s and I was around in the early 2000s it was a really good time. I miss the days of having friends over and spending the night playing video games inside your house and hanging out outside and playing and just chilling out and being able to talk on the house phone to them. I will never forget that memory I’ll always miss being a kid at heart, but now that most of us are adults, we don’t really have to do these anymore. We have iPhones now to talk and text our friends, it’s so amazing how when you’re an adult time goes by fast but when you’re a kid it goes pretty slow for you I wanna thank you for posting this. You really made my heart come to life. 😊
It's really interesting how different people and different generations have their own "golden era". It's basically all just nostalgia from our childhoods, and we all feel it differently, but some of us can relate much more than others, and it's usually based on age groups.
Well up to the 2000's kids played outside and you had a sense of community in every neighborhood 20 years later and its not the case anymore So i am unsure if its nostalgia or shit is just down bad currently.
I was born in 1999 and don't really remember a whole lot before 2004. 2005 onward is when I can remember pretty well, but the decade was already nearly half over.
I remember watching TH-cam videos about 90s kids talk about their childhoods and telling us how amazing it was. Always felt a little jealous of them, being born in 99 and never having experienced much of that time. But now it’s our turn to talk. And it doesn’t feel like it should be yet.
The first thing that comes to my mind is the Genwunners of Pokemon fans. The OG. I've always heard them talk about nostalgia with Red and Blue. Being born in 96, my nostalgia was Ruby and Sapphire. It's our turn now.
@@BuizelCream As an OG, I always cringe at statements from Genwunners that say that it was the only time that mattered. I've loved Pokemon in every generation, and pretty much have a different nostalgic feeling associated with any generation as enough time passes. The time of Red and Blue did have its own distinct feel if one was around to experience it, but so did all the others if one was invested enough.
@@DaleKamp You're right though. As a Ruby Sapphire OG, I actually did miss Gen 4 a lot, and Legends Arceus was just right for the nostalgia season last year. Now I miss Gen 5 and 6 too. Been replaying my old files and stuff recently with friends. Each gen does have its own distinct thing.
I was born in 2001, definitely appreciate the fact that we had technology while still having our lives not be fully controlled by it. It’s also quite weird… It’s been about 20 years but I feel like we’re witnessing centuries of change.
Yeah I was born in 2001 too, I feel like anyone born between 98 to 03 kinda falls under the group that remembers life before smartphones took over and after.
Having been born in 1995 put me right smack dab in the perfect age range to have experienced all of this lol. Also, isn't it funny how we really become our parents? I'd always poke fun at my mom for being so nostalgic for the 60's and 70's, but as I grow older I look back on my childhood era with the same exact feelings.
1995 kids rise up. I also remember changing the time zone on our home computer to China after 8 so I could evade the parental controls and go on the internet to play Neopets lmao.
I was born in 2003 and I relate to a lot of this especially with watching cartoon network (I feel like gen z is the last generation to have great cartoons), and playing the wii. I also remember home phones and having just the one computer.
I was born in 1990 and I watched this to see how "old" it would make me feel but to be honest everything you said in this I feel is part of my growing up as well! it just feels like the nostalgia you speak of is what I have as well from this time
Same, I was born in 1992 and I relate a lot, especially to the first part with VHS. I miss those days a lot. Not long time ago I re-watched the soundtrack of my favourite TV programme as a child and it made me cry 😭😭😭
Facts. I arrived on earth late 1988, our 2000's were just like this. We were teens but still "kids". Now were older but not "old" and at least we can say we've experienced the 90's!
Being born in 1997 but experiencing the entire 2000s as a kid this is so nostalgic. In the same way that he used the DS i got the same experiences with the gameboy and PSP. Its only after around...2011/2012 ish that i noticed things change so rapidly
For sure, I think its was because our tech was booming so fast it made social class really obvious. As kids we didn't really care, since a lot of us had experience in all the systems before the latest and greatest, and chances were pretty good that one friend had a wii and another a Nintendo 64. But yeah, tech just moving super fast and now just seeming stagnant. Even more so with the push to bring old tech back because its nostalgic.
2011-2012 was when the first smartphones and social media services were becoming popular which meant that more and more people changed how they used the internet. pre 2010 it was mostly internet on the family computer. after 2010 you could bring the internet with you outside on a smartphone in a meaningful way. now its the 2020s and most everyone has internet access everywhere they go, meaning the internet has changed from an inside activity to becoming completely meshed with all of life all the time
I was born in 96 but i remember almost nothing from my childhood. I’m kinda jealous of people who remember their childhood fondly. Don’t know if im the only one. Edit: To be precise i still remember some things like watching lots of VHS movies like this one Dinosaur Cartoon Movie whose name i forget or Ice Age wich was my favorite movie back then. I remember playing GTA and other games on my PS2 etc. But i don’t got particular good memories about playing or hanging out with friends and family or having fun in school and stuff.
I was born in 97 and I briefly remember my childhood, only remember going out with friends, playing on game boy colour and ps1 I also briefly remember 9/11 happening
I keep track of my childhood by grade in school. Like in 2005 I was in 5th grade, and I hung out with _____ and I start putting pieces together from there. It really helps keep the memories there.
Also a 96er here - I have memories similar to this, just starting a bit BEFORE this video. I get the sense Birdie is an 01’ so similar to my brothers age. Early 00s were a different time
As some who was born in 1994 growing up in the 2000’s was just nostalgic. We got to go outside and play but also got to play video games. Social media was just starting and it didn’t rule our lives like it does today. Everything seemed more colorful and lively compared to how everything feels apocalyptic and chaotic today. Playing games online was new, watching vhs movies and getting introduced to DVDs was amazing. Going to the movies was awesome. It was definitely a golden age which unfortunately kids won’t understand today.
I'm definitely an anomaly here amongst the comments - being a 90s kid - but you 2000s kids share a LOT with us 90s kids. We both weren't bombarded by social media and constant IoT. Therefore, I can still very much relate to everything here. Thanks for the upload. Be well in mind, in body, and spirit 🙏🏼
Thank you for not being one of those “Gatekeepers” and actually admitting that 90s/00s kid pretty much grew up with the same shit. All this gatekeeping BS that’s plagued the internet for over a decade is exhausting
@@HelderGriff no, us 2000s kids aren't 90s kids, but we are the closest gen to the 90s kids, along with the 80s kids. We need to embrace the awesome 2000s childhood we had.
@@brechtxt8096 Late-90s or Early-00's born kids would've been lucky to have a household that had a Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3. The best console generation. They would also have access to the PSP Slim (2000 model) and the Nintendo DS Lite, some of the best handhelds in history. The PS3 was a very cheap BluRay Player, and it had some of the best single-player games of its time. The Nintendo Wii had a couple good games, and it was mostly great to keep guests entertained, or the odd mum or gran. The Xbox 360 had the best Online Multiplayer and great third-party titles. Not to mention that PC Gaming was potent and affordable during that era (Core i5-2500k, AMD HD7950). The DS Lite can play most of the Gameboy Advance games, can be hacked and play other systems too. The same could be said about the PSP Slim, a technological marvel. It was easily hacked and made for the best pocketable device of its time. That and your hand-me-down phone of that era, which was probably a Nokia N95. Kids in that era would've moved to High School or University. They would have moved to using new things like the iPhone 4 and iPad 2. PC Gaming was still sizeable at that time (Core i7-3770k, AMD R9 290). But consoles were on the downtrend with the likes of the new3DS and the PS4, both decent systems but not as magical as before. It's not all bad news because in this period you wouldn't have much time for those games anyway, since you would be doing more activities, studying, work, or just the explosion of the internet's social media or TH-cam. If you were lucky, you had young-X or old-Y generation parents, and maybe as a gag they participated with you in the early Bitcoin craze... this could've led to a lot of profits, potentially even paying off your parent's house mortgage.
Born in '95. I'm surprised to hear about people younger than me having a VCR. Nice. The '00s were the best. What a blessing to grow up without smartphones and laptops.
The funny thing about nostalgia is it's something every generation has. I'm sure our kids will grow up and tell their kids about how fun it was growing up in the 2020's and all the great story's they have of social media and VR while trying to ignore our old koot stories about how the 2000's were better, and how your video games just don't have the same heart as ours did, and when we wanted to play multiplayer we had to meat in person. Honestly I'm looking forward to being an old koot, to pass down the wisdom and or nonsense that was passed down from my grandparents. To dote on my grand kids in ways didn't with my children just like my parents and grandparents. History moves in cycles, and not all of them are bad. I wonder what my kids will be nostalgic for?
We think alike, too. As someone who grew up in the 90s, I felt like kids who grew up in the 2000s got to experience an enhanced version of a lot of similar experiences 90s kids had, similar technology but more advanced and with a healthy amount of connectivity (relative to these days) for those who clicked with it.
@@randomuser5001 I mean we still use steel and it's been centuries since it's been invented. We've even found good alternatives to it and we still use it a lot. Don't be so pessimistic.
Born in 96 grew up in the 2000s, can't relate to everything, but I can relate to most of the things mentioned. Damn am I glad I had some of the left overs from the 90s. The early 2000s were pretty close to the 90s and it was something special. Now everything is "woke", connected to social media, and screwed up. I feel bad for the kids these days
As a 2000's kid, I watched a HECK amount of Cartoon Network. In fact, I consider 2008ish-2019ish my CN childhood and, even today, I have some shows to watch
I was born in 2003 and I just turned 20, everything is pretty different. I remember when kids play the Nintendo DS on the bus. I remember when the blackberry was a thing. Heck I even remember VHS. Life was more wholesome back then, than it is now especially with culture change with Instagram and Snapchat.
I absolutely loved growing up in the 2000s. I just really wish I could go back and appreciate it all the good parts. Playing with the neighbors kids, playing my Wii and DS, watching old shows, staying awake late. Everything you mentioned pretty much.
@@SethEssington Me too! (yay for the 90's ^^) For me it was: super Nintendo, the good old cartoon network/nickelodeon shows, Pokémon games and cards, playing with Lego's and marbles and be outside a lot back in those days! Playing soccer, building secret forts in the nearby woods. Ahh, Good times! :D
As someone born in 1998, The Nostalgia hits like a truck The Early Cartoon network/Nick shows like - The Eds, Festers home, Megas XLR, Drake N Josh, Early Spongebob This was all fantastic
I think that as I get older, I realize that I loved growing up in the 2000s because of the nice childhood freedom I had when it was time to have fun. Parents played the role of sheltering us from the bad that was going on around us. Unknown to us, our parents likely missed the decade of THEIR childhood. So I think its up to us to do the same to children, let them have their fun and filter out the bad that goes on in the world. For all you know, two decades from now, some guy on TH-cam might be making a video about why they loved growing up in the 20s... And you may have personally been a part of that in your own way.
@@slyapbg Lol. That’s awesome. It’s funny because unironically, as a kid growing up in the 2000s, that was the same feeling we had. Imagine feeling depressed all the time and having teen angst and *get this* you ACTUALLY had a musical outlet for that? Emo music! Screamo! Man I listened to so much Red Jumpsuit App., The Used, Slipknot, Evanescence, 30s to Mars, All American Rejects, Simple Plan, Green Day, Blue October, etc. What a time. The music was more varied. ☺️
Hearing you say you were only 9&10 in 2011/2012 really put things into perspective. I was already 16/17 at that point so you were probably born in 2002. I was born in the mid-90s (95) so my version of a 2000s childhood is very different from someone who only experienced 2007-09. I'm more nostalgic for the early-mid00s when I was 5-10 years old. I grew up with Gameboy Advance and Gameboy AdvanceSP. I didn't have a DS but I did get a Nintendo Wii when I was 12. I remember transitioning from VHS to DVD and from dial-up to broadband internet. I grew up with powerhouse/city era cartoon network and would come home and watch kidsWB. Razor scooters, Bratz dolls, Pokemon, and Yugioh were all the rage and almost every kid had a Beyblade. I witnessed Rugrats in Paris, Shrek, Finding Nemo, and all the Harry Potter movies come out in theatres. I'm glad you enjoyed your childhood but I need someone born between 1992/3-1997 to remake this video so we can talk about more than Nintendo Wii and Handy Manny. Maybe throw in some Hey Arnold, VideoNow, and GameCube.
This feels like a documentary of my childhood in the 2000’s. I did the exact same shit except with a PSP and PS2. Playing ball with the boys, hide n seek, watching movies, going to bed late at the friends/cousins house. It’ll never be the same
I was born in 2006, and from that point to the first few years of the 2010's, oh it was fire. Hide and seek inside was insane, you'd find this cracked hiding spot like in the closet or something. On a friday night or something you'd build one of those couch/blanket forts with your siblings and play games. Oh it was certainly a great time to grow up, great video man!
Born in 1993. Best years to be born. We still got a childhood without smartphones and such plus got to know the technology early enough to not be lost now in this world. I loved it
I feel the same, 1995 represent ✌️ I am now at the age where my mom had me, but having a baby of my own right now would only emphasize the feeling of my childhood world remaining a thing of the previous generation. We can't go back to that world without tech 💔
Being born in 1997, this was nostalgic as hell. I remember going to my friend's house to play Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 on the PS2 and had a blast. I also got into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise with the 2003 series and loved the turtles ever since. I had so many great memories of that era.
I was born in 2002. I can say for me , I had a nice balance in life so far. I'm 20 years old. I turn 21 on the 15th of February. When I was growing up, I still had the fat-back tv, I had a PS2 and Xbox 360. I didn't start playing video games until maybe around 2009. To some people y'all might think that's kinda crazy but to me it's not. I grew up playing with toys, going outside and playing with my friends. I remember going to the Walmart and telling my mom I'm going to the toy section or the game section, she'd always knew where I was at. I would just stare up at the TV hurting my neck, playing games that I knew I could not get.lol. For me growing up. I was really into cartoons. Cartoon network was the shit!!! Yea 80s and 90s kids y'all may had a better generation to grow up in, but for us 2000s we had the best cartoons. The original teen titans, camp Lazlo, ed edd Eddy, chowder, kids next door, the tall red character and the fat blue guy, y'all know what I'm talking about, billy and Mandy, etc Disney channel was good and so was nickelodeon, sometimes when I didn't have cable I was stuck with pbs kids. Not gonna lie I hated pbs because I found it boring , but I liked Thomas,Clifford, Bob the builder, WILD KRATS, it's a big world, reading rainbow, . My favorite show was the wiggles. You know what's crazy . I have a niece, she's 5 yrs old. I asked her do you like cartoons, she said no she likes to play on her tablet. I looked at her like WHAT!!!!! you don't like cartoons!?. It's crazy if y'all have a little sibling or cousin or nephew or niece, if they like cartoons if they have a tablet they probably will say no. That's how crazy times are now. We grew up with cartoons. Nowadays kids like "TH-cam KIDS". CRAZY My favorite toys growing up were beyblades and tech decks. BRO IDD WHAT NO BODY SAYS BEYBLADES WAS THE BEST TOY EVER!!!!! AND TECH DECKS USED TO BE SOO POPULAR THEY USED TO HAVE TOURNAMENTS. Silly bands were cool too. Then the rubber bands that you could make a bracelet with were pretty cool. Then when I got to age 13, I started using technology. Even though I started using technology I never lost my way.
I was born in the early 90s, but everything you said is so relatable even if my 2000s were my teen phase. Now that I look back, I consider myself lucky to being able to play outside while getting used to all those new techs along with my childhood friends... And oh boy I do remember VHS and cassette tapes along with CDs! The 90s-early 2000s decades personally my golden era I still look back at out of nostalgia. Don't know why, but if I try to think about the 2010-2020 eras, all I see is just grey and decay.
@@chadwellington2524 I know a lot of people born in the early 2000s who remember the 2000s pretty well. I'm not the only one. It's actually pretty normal to have memory at age 4-5. Hell, my earliest memory traces back to 2004. What about you?
I born 1995 and grew up 2000s, CRTs aka box Tvs, VHS, end of Dail up internet, Physical landlines, runescape, flash, Man I'm old, Nintendo 64, PlayStation 1
I was born in 2000 so I’m a pure 2000s kid and remember this all too well. Early 2000s still had a hint of the 90s. Would go outside and play with other kids with tamagotchis, furbies, lightsaber fights, manhunt. PS2, Xbox, GameCube, internet flash games, amazing cartoons and shows that you’d watch on a crt tv and vhs tapes. The Late 2000s was like a whole different experience. iPhone, HD and HDTVs, youtube, facebook and twitter, 360, PS3, and the Wii was huge. To my kid self, the Wii was such a big step from the GameCube and the day I got one in 2009 was insane. When I got a DS the DSi was already out but my mom went for the lite, but didn’t care though as I just wanted a DS so bad lol. There’s a lot more but these are my most fond memories. The 2000s was a great time to be a kid and I’m glad I got to experience it the way I did.
Thats cause not really anything changed from the 90s-2000s tech and culture wise (except history wise, 9/11). Things started changing faster around 2018
I was born in 2007 but this stuff is way more relatable than social media. I played my brother's copied of Mario Kart DS and Super Mario 64 DS a lot and I played Mario Kart Wii a lot. I still have those games today and I'd much rather play them then get a social media account.
i hear everywhere that 2000s were cool, it looks i missed a lot bcs i was born later in early 2010s... its kinda sad that i can never experience anything like this
Being a 2000s kid was an experience I’ll never forget. Playing Sonic, Mario and Pokémon on Game Boy while Boomerang was playing in the background. Good times, good times.
God, I'm a '02 child and hearing about this is quite nostalgic. Going out to visit friends and play outside, then maybe even go inside for some hot dogs and some videogames and Pokemon... aaaaa I never had sleepovers though, my friends always left since my mom didn't wanna be responsible for more children, which is valid.
yep this is nostalgic, am a 90 child, but unlike u i had sleepovers in the 90s and 2000s and we were playing actual good games, sleepovers nowadays dont feel the same as kids are prob gonna bring their consoles for fortnite or watch tiktok on their smartphone
@@cannonball7309 you do know that the generation before us also considered our games and activities absurd too right? At least our generation had to listen to the previous one complaining sometimes bout "these kids nowadays are only playing these videogames smh". Which just wasn't true and didn't do any harm. Let children have fun in their own way. Whether it be games like Fortnite or similar, and watching TikToks together. If it is even that, I mean kids still go outside and have sleepovers like ours, just that they deviate from our experiences. That's the fun of childhood. To experience things together and in a unique fashion makes it so wonderful and memorable.
Same here, I never visited my friends houses though when I was a kid nor did I have sleepovers. I am a 2002 kid as well so I relate to most of what Birdie is saying
'03 kid here and holy shit this video is so nostalgic! EVERYTHING in this video was spot-on! I had a DS and a Wii, dad at first had Windows XP then eventually moved to Windows 7, grandma had an old Windows 98 pc in her house with Microsoft BOB installed, and I had like 30 games. Also when I was a very VERY young child I had a V-Smile. I'd watch a lot of VHS tapes and DVD movies. When I was very young I had a camera that used floppy disks for storage. Had a whole bunch of board games, made forts a lot, would play hide and seek a lot, loved to play with blocks, loved to play outside when I was at my friends' house because they had a proper backyard and playground and even a little playhouse in the shed, I loved to play a lot of online free games as well as watch videos on early TH-cam… I could go on and on! Soooo many memories!
I was born in 2002 , 2000s was just a amazing to be a kid . There was a a perfect balanced . Now a days kids just mature too quick and behave way worse. Everbody i played with would get along. I remember on weekends i would look random youtube videos, everyone that posted a youtube video, just wanted to share there video to the world , now people who upload just want to generate revenue . I watched youtube on my dads windows XP laptop, that makes me very nostalgic . Sometimes when i would go to my moms meeting and my mom friends would also bring there kids , so i used that oportunity to bring my dsi and everbody would bring there ds too. Pictochat , Mario kart , Mario Party, new super Mario bros. Once we played for while we played tag . My Dsi still works from 2010 i dont really use that much since i have the switch but each time i open the album on the dsi its a time machine when i was a kid.
As someone born in 1995, it was an odd phase as I grew up feeling nostalgia over the late 90s and pre 2005 era. That most things that many who grew up in the 2000s weren't really nostalgic for me, as I either didn't have much internet access or I wasn't into most media (especially the Nick and Disney live action shows)
Mid 90s born grew up in the 00s kids played outside social media(2004) was new before it took over everything no smart phones I miss the early days of TH-cam
It’s strange to see people as nostalgic of the 2000s as I was. Although I don’t remember everything, my parents did. I used to watch movies on repeat as I had the original Cars TV, then watched channels like Disney Jr and Nickelodeon on the big family TV. I remember bringing my DS (and later 3DS) with me to school or leaving if it in the car for after school. I’m even one of the few kids who used VHS as I watched it while visiting extended family. It’s funny that I live with some 2000s if not the 90s to this day. My TV is an early 1080p TV from 2008. My first laptop is going strong being used by my extended family, with my latter laptops being from the mid decade still useful today. I use a portable TV from ‘99 and a similar VGA monitor from ‘98 to play games and watch movies. I even had some fun playing the DS and Wii with friends last year.
I grew up in the 80s and 90s, and the 2000s before smartphones was really the last generation of children to know what life was *mostly* like before things changed so much. Going back into the early 90s and late 80s, no Internet was pretty amazing.
I was born 93 and my mum did her utmost to keep the internet out of the house as long as possible. I didnt have access to a computer for anything other than Age of Empires until I was 13. Really grateful that I got to experience what life was like without it, I think people born in the early to mid 90s really were the last to have concrete memories of that time.
Born in 2000 honestly was the best childhood. I grew up on (when it was actually good) wwe raw, classic PS2 games, fast and furious DVDs, and early internet videos man I miss it. You brought mad nostalgia with those couch forts man.
I was born in 1998, the 2000s especially mid to the end of the 2000s was the best time to be a child, visiting your friends house, playing outside or playing Zelda on my friends PlayStation for hours and no social media. People were much more open back then. Often times we even played outside with older kids or teenagers.
Yes there area where i live you walk out and everyone was outside and everyone knows eachother and everyone is habing fun no matter how old someone was or we he came from
i’m an 04 baby and this was exactly how my childhood went. playing mario party on the dsi while eating cheese toast my mom made me on a sick day was the best. we really lived in the golden age
Born in 1999 in Eastern Europe (Balkan), I got to experience some of these stuff. Cartoon Network on cable tv is basically my childhood. Also I played on my aunt's Windows 98 computer a lot before my parents bought a family computer in 2005 with Windows XP (still have it, and still works). Thank you for taking me down memory lane to a simpler time.
I'm genuinely sorry for all the baby's and children growing up these day. , Social media and todays society is such a bad influence and it's a shame they'll never be able to live through what we've experienced
I'm old enough to remember the early 2000s (00-04) it was still 90'sish vibes with dial up internet, vhs, no high definition TV. Landline phones were a thing
Was born in 2005 so wasn't able to have the full experience but I lived the majority of these and it's fun to remember. Better being late than to completely miss it fs
2004 and honestly and I’m remember to hard this time,Window xp(nobody have vista at this time),Ds mkds(miss the time when if you have one game all of your friend can game).the nostalgia makes me talk to much
Born in '93... watching this kid talk about all this stuff that existed when I was like 17 as if it is all a distant relic of a bygone age was pretty depressing...
Facts when he said 2011/2012 and how old he was during that time I was like "dam I was already well into high school by that point, talkin sophomore and junior year"
The 2000's and the 2010's were a magical time and I feel sorry for the next generation of kid's,It's a time where the majority of kid's would actually play with Netflix gun's,actral lightsabers and action figure's instead of just staring at our phones watching cringe tiktok...I sound like an old man but I'm only in my 20's😂
I'm born on the year 2000. The 2000s were the last authentic and wholesome decade. The middle of 2010s up until now don't seem like a time for children.
This video makes me feel incredibly old. Talking about playing with things as a toddler that I didn't have until I was a teenager. I remember learning what video games were with the turbo graffix 16 and then being blown away by the N64 and later, the GBA/gamecube All of it gone, like tears in the rain.
We had such similar childhoods. Hiding the DS under the pillow, VHS Tapes, the Windows XP PC, Wii games and eggo and landline (that my parents still use) and watching cars on repeat. I watched cars everyday and was mesmerized by cars in general. It’s what made me a car nut.
So relatable. I remember playing Mario on my Gameboy Micro and watching TV on nickelodeon on a tube tv. Oh, and of course, I can't forget running adobe flash games on my laptop which barely ran windows 7. Good times.
Being born in the early 90s in Mexico right as the economy collapsed was a trip. It’s like we were lagging a few years behind the US. I remember my family having a rotary phone, a black and white TV, a typewriter I used for homework, and a bunch of other tech from the 70s and 80s. I didn’t see a computer until the late 90s when I was almost 10. It feels like my childhood happened in a completely different era and it was nice.
Even tho I was born in 95, my brain hadn't developed enough to remember what the "vibe" was like pre 2000. So even tho I'm technically a 90's kid, I've always identified more with the early 00's. Such an interesting time.
Damn. I was born in ‘93, and I can most certainly remember the “vibe”. There was this feeling in the air that I can’t describe. I mostly just remember the late 90’s, 97-99, but I have very brief memories from probably ‘95-‘96, I didn’t really feel the feeling until it was the late 90’s, though. 97-99 felt very special in an indescribable way to me.
I was born '95 too, but my two siblings were both born in the late 80s (and my cousins as well) so I grew up with ALL the 90s hand-me-downs. That said, I also had plenty of early 2000's exposure. It's weird, I feel like the early-mid 90s kids had the borderline experience where it's not fully millennial but not fully GenZ either.
@@MasiukA I feel that same way! It's like we're in this weird limbo stage where we can kinda identify with both millennials and gen z'ers but not fully lol
I was born in 95 and I agree. The kids in these comments saying that they are 2000s kids when they are born in 2004 are delusional. Nobody after 2001 can really claim being a 2000's kid.
I literally grew up with 70% of this in my whole childhood Even tho i was born in '11 I still have those olds tv from the 00s, so many dvd's and Dvd player 💗 It's cool that even tho i was born in the early 2010s i got to enjoy so many stuff from the 2000s that it makes me feel that i grew up in the 00s.

Same here dude being born in 2000 we got to see the evolution of technology at its peak, went from flip phones to the iPhone, watched social media take over, and got to live without a screen for a few years. It’s crazy now how kids get a phone when they turn like 10, I feel lucky to have been able to live through the last few years where tech wasn’t absolutely everywhere. Don’t get me wrong I love having access to all of it but I’m glad I got to experience the final years where it wasn’t all consuming. It will never be like that again 😪
Those really were such simpler times

As someone born in '98, this video felt like a retelling of my childhood. I miss the simple days back then. I didn't have much but I didn't realize it. There were no worries and everyday was carefree.
Late 90's and 00's kids basically have the same childhood
This era started in 98 and died in 09
Nintendo sp, PS2 and then PSP were the real deal back then.
Yo I was born in 1992 and practically feel like a self created immortal I still look like a tweeny >_
@@Unknown-om3hh Yeah we were p much in elementary at the same time anyways
I was born in '99 and everything in this video hits hard. Thank you for this nostalgia trip
As a 96 baby, I can confirm that I the 2000s were indeed the shit. Blockbuster movies, going to the library to chill on the pc and do my homework, McDonald's play places were sick, actual social interaction in the neighborhood, playing xbox at my friends house, Yu Gi Oh duels with the neighbors with those forearm card holders from GX, discovering TH-cam's inception, funny junk, Bloons TD, Season 1 SpongeBob. God damn! I could really drag on for hours.
saying block buster reminded me how excited I was when my parents let me slip the dvds through the returns box 😔
YES!!!
I’m a 98 baby so I feel you
When the worst things from the internet were the annoying orange, Fred, what does the fox say, Gangnam style and Slenderman
Can't forget about the PS2, it has so many good games.
As a 00's kid seeing society changing so much in a matter of 20 years is almost scary. It makes the 00's seem as the ideal time. No social media, no internet on our phones. Kids would play outside and hang out without phones, the only tech we had was our game consoles. We weren't netwired 24/7 or consumed like technology like today. We got to live, and be children. Kids nowadays grow up so differently, and so much faster. I was blessed to be a kid in that era..
As a 90s kid, I even had a black and white tv once until I was 6. 😅
Just remember that just because kids grow up differently today doesn’t mean they grow up worse. It can be easy to get caught up on nostalgia.
Yet they absolutely do grow worse.
Legit. I was born in 2000, and I didn't even get internet until I was about 11 years old. Before that, we had an internet dongle (Does anybody nowadays even know what they are?) that we used to plug into my sisters laptop that she borrowed from school and never gave back. It had windows XP on it, and we used to play minesweeper and space pinball on it. Going on youtube using that dongle was my first introduction to Owl city's other songs, since "Fireflies" was always on the radio back then - He's still one of my favourite artists to this day. My first phone was a brick that you had to press the numbers multiple times to get 1 letter, and I barely even used it. My mum and sister would literally just text me "I love you" every now and again and that was it.
I played outside with my brother and our friend at the time, and we used to climb trees, have stick sword fights, or play on the trampoline. I used to collect yugioh cards and we used to play against each other. I had a DS and a wii and stuff, but I only played on it when I wasn't out. I used to think having 100 hours on my pokemon platinum save was an insanely long amount of playtime, yet now I have thousands of hours on some games. I used to watch monsters inc on repeat on VHS for some reason, and yet, it's been so long since I've seen it that my memory of the film is pretty foggy.
It's mad how different it is today. My nephew, who is 10 years old now, had a smartphone when he was like, 6 years old. I got my first smartphone at 17 (Granted that was still pretty late by that time, most people I know had one at about 13 or 14. It was 2018 when I got one haha). He basically never goes outside, he's always playing on his playstation. He doesn't know what a VHS is, and doesn't even know the difference between a CD and a DVD. He's never known life without the internet and social media, I'm pretty sure he has had an instagram account for years, despite 13 being the minimum age for it, and he's always on tiktok. Some of the things he says and does baffle me for a kid that age. It's like kids today just don't want to be kids - they get ashamed of it. It's really sad.
I'm very grateful we got to grow up in pretty much the last time period where kids just got to be kids and weren't exposed to all the crap on social media.
@@CCoreOW Exactly, precisely!! I 100% identify with what you say!!! We are only like 10 or even less years apart from today's kids, but we grew up SO massively differently it feels like we're worlds apart!!

Born in 1987 and still this is exactly how it was to grow up in the 90s, just change the DS for a Gameboy and the Wii for a Snes or up to a PlayStation (late 90s)… but the pranks, sleepovers, the phone, parents checking if you were already asleep, everything was there. What a nostalgia trip ❤
Apparently sleepovers or simply leaving kids at a friend's house is uncommon nowadays... society's so cold now
@@HULKHOGAN1it’s not uncommon, what kinda kids are you talking to
As an early 2010s kid, I really wish I could experience the 2000s, but I find it cool that in like 10 years the 2010s will feel really old and in 20 years the 2020s will feel old and so on, because then everyone gets to experience that great feeling of nostalgia
I was born in 1988 went I was 6 or 8 I always wanted a play station 1 my dad had one so I would play on has or game boy
I was born in 2002. Just turned 20 in October. The mid/late-2000s into the early 2010s were the best days of my life. Perfect time to grow up and just be a kid. Kids just don't grow up the same today. Too much social media and all that type of stuff.

I was born on the same month as you. Even though I am not American this video resembles very strongly to my childhood.

Maybe we are the last generation that is going to have a normal attention span...
Having been born in 2000, seeing someone else my age mention a VCR player and a box TV was a part of their childhood makes me happy.

How about a TV with a built in VCR? I always liked those despite not growing up in that time period.
I was born in the year 2000 and I can relate to a lot of these things. Also this takes me back back to the good old days. The mid-late 2000s-early 2010s was my childhood era.
True, that is our childhood time. Being in elementary school in the late 2000s was a fantastic experience I never want to miss. It felt different.
I was also born in the year 2000. I actually even have some memories from the early 2000s! Although they are faint and scattered, they're there

Born 2004. Looking back at it I lived in a good time to grow up.
As a 2004 kid, this video reminds me of so much nostalgia from that time. I loved the little gadgets and colorful items of that time. My older sister was born in 2001 and I showed her this video and we laughed and reminisced on the memories that we shared. I remember playing the new super mario bros and her getting mad that I kept dying and wouldn't let me out of the bubble.

Ah yes when parents actually regulated video games and electronic play time, to make sure us kids would do other activities like play outside and draw or read
I’m genuinely surprised to hear people had regulated play time for video games, but I guess I always liked to draw or play with my sisters so my mom probably wasn’t too worried
No they didn't lmao my parents sure as hell didn't regulate my time or make me play outside, and neither did the parents of any of my friends at school.

Your childhood would have been Vine on a iPhone 5 so that means your childhood was the same as kids today with TikTok on a iPhone 13. Why then do you have a superiority complex over small children who are growing up with a slightly better version of what you grew up with? That would be like me saying that my childhood was better because I grew up with PS3 rather than PS5 even though they are the same thing just an older version. A boomer would think they are the same as they are the same thing.
Nah this video was SPOT ON. as a lower middle class 04’ kid every single point hit hard. As I’ve now entered adulthood it’s so crazy to see how we’re starting to look back at our childhoods so fondly. Also crazy how we all lived the such similar childhoods
Ikr, I'm a middle class 2002 kid and I relate hard, not to everything but to most things
Truth to be told as 04 too that Is really eraly childhood. My life after 7 was 3ds time.

2000s was such a nostalgic yet surreal time to be alive, with the the earth stages of technology starting to really take off, I think we got some of the most lovely memories ever.
I grew up more towards the late 2000s - early 2010s but this still brings nostalgia. I miss those days.
We're around the same age and grew in the same era
Anyone born around the late 80’s to early 00’s really got to see the world evolve at such a rapid pace man. We all existed in a time where video games and internet were barely around to becoming a regular thing. No smart phones, it really was just a different time.
Agreed! ‘92 baby here
Man ngl putting people born in the late 80s in the same boat as kids born in the early 2000s is crazy. Completely different childhoods
@@hypervenom6200yeah more like late 80s to like 95 or 96. I was born in 98, and while I did experience things like dialup, only having VHS tapes, having a CD Walkman, no social media, no wifi, and no smartphones, it was relatively short lived. I feel like 1997-2000 is in this weird middle period of being almost a 90s childhood but then having massive technological changes in your late childhood.
I feel like them 00s kids didn’t experience it quite like us. By the time they’d gotten old enough to know what’s going on the internet was in full swing, online gaming was a thing, smart phones were appearing.
Going to high school before anyone really had phones and shit was awesome. Growing up on Cartoon Network, Dragonball z, Pokemon, yugioh, gameboy, ps1, sega Megadrive and all that good stuff was class. But also really seeing technology go from 0 - 100.
I dunno where I fit on the scale man, born in 95, spent majority of childhood with my 93 cousin. I feel old hearing about this guy being a lil kid using his ds. Maybe I just got all the technology and stuff late here in the uk. I feel like I relate way more to the 90s and early 00s than these guys looking back on the DS and Wii as their childhood consoles. Pokémon pearl ffs? That ain’t even proper Pokémon.
Being born in '95, I saw the remains of the TV antenna, I used those VHS tapes as well with the habit of rewinding them. Hearing the Dial-up Internet, the rise of the PS2 and awakening of the xbox, while wanting a Gamecube on top of having the PS1 for game variety. Watching Digimon and pokemon that were aired back-to-back on the TV. Nostalgic days :3
The 2000’s was the last decade before the social media as we know it today. Completely took over, possibly even for the worse. The 2000’s feel like a completely different time. Compared to what we deal with today.
I was born in the 90s and I was around in the early 2000s it was a really good time. I miss the days of having friends over and spending the night playing video games inside your house and hanging out outside and playing and just chilling out and being able to talk on the house phone to them. I will never forget that memory I’ll always miss being a kid at heart, but now that most of us are adults, we don’t really have to do these anymore. We have iPhones now to talk and text our friends, it’s so amazing how when you’re an adult time goes by fast but when you’re a kid it goes pretty slow for you I wanna thank you for posting this. You really made my heart come to life. 😊
It's really interesting how different people and different generations have their own "golden era". It's basically all just nostalgia from our childhoods, and we all feel it differently, but some of us can relate much more than others, and it's usually based on age groups.
Well up to the 2000's kids played outside and you had a sense of community in every neighborhood
20 years later and its not the case anymore
So i am unsure if its nostalgia or shit is just down bad currently.
@Buzás András shut up Buzás
Idk, this one I think is actually measurably better.

Millenial gen z cusp
I was born in 1999 and don't really remember a whole lot before 2004. 2005 onward is when I can remember pretty well, but the decade was already nearly half over.
96 best year!
I'm about to be 27, wtf...
I remember watching TH-cam videos about 90s kids talk about their childhoods and telling us how amazing it was. Always felt a little jealous of them, being born in 99 and never having experienced much of that time.
But now it’s our turn to talk. And it doesn’t feel like it should be yet.
The first thing that comes to my mind is the Genwunners of Pokemon fans. The OG. I've always heard them talk about nostalgia with Red and Blue. Being born in 96, my nostalgia was Ruby and Sapphire. It's our turn now.
@@BuizelCream As an OG, I always cringe at statements from Genwunners that say that it was the only time that mattered. I've loved Pokemon in every generation, and pretty much have a different nostalgic feeling associated with any generation as enough time passes. The time of Red and Blue did have its own distinct feel if one was around to experience it, but so did all the others if one was invested enough.
@@DaleKamp You're right though. As a Ruby Sapphire OG, I actually did miss Gen 4 a lot, and Legends Arceus was just right for the nostalgia season last year. Now I miss Gen 5 and 6 too. Been replaying my old files and stuff recently with friends. Each gen does have its own distinct thing.
The 90s was a very similar time to grow up, you had all the nice amenities of the modern world without the internet and social media.
@@BuizelCream I started with RBY but I fell in love with pokemon all over again each gen all the way up to scarlet violet lol
I was born in 2001, definitely appreciate the fact that we had technology while still having our lives not be fully controlled by it.
It’s also quite weird… It’s been about 20 years but I feel like we’re witnessing centuries of change.
Me 2 I miss the 2000s.
Yeah I was born in 2001 too, I feel like anyone born between 98 to 03 kinda falls under the group that remembers life before smartphones took over and after.
@@oxy594 I am just one year younger than you
Having been born in 1995 put me right smack dab in the perfect age range to have experienced all of this lol. Also, isn't it funny how we really become our parents? I'd always poke fun at my mom for being so nostalgic for the 60's and 70's, but as I grow older I look back on my childhood era with the same exact feelings.
I was born in 1995 as well!
1995 kids rise up. I also remember changing the time zone on our home computer to China after 8 so I could evade the parental controls and go on the internet to play Neopets lmao.
i like to think nostalgia is paradoxical
95 gang reporting. Been feeling super nostalgic recently.
I was born a year before you.. 1994. We were early 2000s kids not late 2000s like this video is explaining.
I was born in 2003 and I relate to a lot of this especially with watching cartoon network (I feel like gen z is the last generation to have great cartoons), and playing the wii. I also remember home phones and having just the one computer.
I was born in 1990 and I watched this to see how "old" it would make me feel but to be honest everything you said in this I feel is part of my growing up as well! it just feels like the nostalgia you speak of is what I have as well from this time
Same, I was born in 1992 and I relate a lot, especially to the first part with VHS. I miss those days a lot. Not long time ago I re-watched the soundtrack of my favourite TV programme as a child and it made me cry 😭😭😭
Facts. I arrived on earth late 1988, our 2000's were just like this. We were teens but still "kids". Now were older but not "old" and at least we can say we've experienced the 90's!
Just replace the ds with a gameboy original, pokemon pearl with red/blue, and cars with toy story and you got yourself an early 90s kid.
I’m supposed to feel old as if I wasn’t playing Mario galaxy on my old wii a week ago lol
Yea a lot of this stuff was more high school nostalgia but that was also a long time ago.
Being born in 1997 but experiencing the entire 2000s as a kid this is so nostalgic. In the same way that he used the DS i got the same experiences with the gameboy and PSP. Its only after around...2011/2012 ish that i noticed things change so rapidly
For sure, I think its was because our tech was booming so fast it made social class really obvious. As kids we didn't really care, since a lot of us had experience in all the systems before the latest and greatest, and chances were pretty good that one friend had a wii and another a Nintendo 64. But yeah, tech just moving super fast and now just seeming stagnant. Even more so with the push to bring old tech back because its nostalgic.
YES SAME 2011 After seal-team 6 and Trevon Martine in 2012 for me was when I notice and felt change.
Same here man.
2011-2012 was when the first smartphones and social media services were becoming popular which meant that more and more people changed how they used the internet. pre 2010 it was mostly internet on the family computer. after 2010 you could bring the internet with you outside on a smartphone in a meaningful way. now its the 2020s and most everyone has internet access everywhere they go, meaning the internet has changed from an inside activity to becoming completely meshed with all of life all the time
@@jasukun spot on
I was born in 96 but i remember almost nothing from my childhood. I’m kinda jealous of people who remember their childhood fondly. Don’t know if im the only one.
Edit: To be precise i still remember some things like watching lots of VHS movies like this one Dinosaur Cartoon Movie whose name i forget or Ice Age wich was my favorite movie back then. I remember playing GTA and other games on my PS2 etc. But i don’t got particular good memories about playing or hanging out with friends and family or having fun in school and stuff.
I was born in 97 and I briefly remember my childhood, only remember going out with friends, playing on game boy colour and ps1 I also briefly remember 9/11 happening

I keep track of my childhood by grade in school. Like in 2005 I was in 5th grade, and I hung out with _____ and I start putting pieces together from there. It really helps keep the memories there.
Also a 96er here - I have memories similar to this, just starting a bit BEFORE this video. I get the sense Birdie is an 01’ so similar to my brothers age.
Early 00s were a different time
As some who was born in 1994 growing up in the 2000’s was just nostalgic. We got to go outside and play but also got to play video games. Social media was just starting and it didn’t rule our lives like it does today. Everything seemed more colorful and lively compared to how everything feels apocalyptic and chaotic today. Playing games online was new, watching vhs movies and getting introduced to DVDs was amazing. Going to the movies was awesome. It was definitely a golden age which unfortunately kids won’t understand today.
I'm definitely an anomaly here amongst the comments - being a 90s kid - but you 2000s kids share a LOT with us 90s kids. We both weren't bombarded by social media and constant IoT. Therefore, I can still very much relate to everything here. Thanks for the upload. Be well in mind, in body, and spirit 🙏🏼

@@brechtxt8096 Late-90s or Early-00's born kids would've been lucky to have a household that had a Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3. The best console generation. They would also have access to the PSP Slim (2000 model) and the Nintendo DS Lite, some of the best handhelds in history.
The PS3 was a very cheap BluRay Player, and it had some of the best single-player games of its time. The Nintendo Wii had a couple good games, and it was mostly great to keep guests entertained, or the odd mum or gran. The Xbox 360 had the best Online Multiplayer and great third-party titles. Not to mention that PC Gaming was potent and affordable during that era (Core i5-2500k, AMD HD7950).
The DS Lite can play most of the Gameboy Advance games, can be hacked and play other systems too. The same could be said about the PSP Slim, a technological marvel. It was easily hacked and made for the best pocketable device of its time. That and your hand-me-down phone of that era, which was probably a Nokia N95.
Kids in that era would've moved to High School or University. They would have moved to using new things like the iPhone 4 and iPad 2. PC Gaming was still sizeable at that time (Core i7-3770k, AMD R9 290). But consoles were on the downtrend with the likes of the new3DS and the PS4, both decent systems but not as magical as before. It's not all bad news because in this period you wouldn't have much time for those games anyway, since you would be doing more activities, studying, work, or just the explosion of the internet's social media or TH-cam. If you were lucky, you had young-X or old-Y generation parents, and maybe as a gag they participated with you in the early Bitcoin craze... this could've led to a lot of profits, potentially even paying off your parent's house mortgage.
Born in '95. I'm surprised to hear about people younger than me having a VCR. Nice. The '00s were the best. What a blessing to grow up without smartphones and laptops.

The funny thing about nostalgia is it's something every generation has. I'm sure our kids will grow up and tell their kids about how fun it was growing up in the 2020's and all the great story's they have of social media and VR while trying to ignore our old koot stories about how the 2000's were better, and how your video games just don't have the same heart as ours did, and when we wanted to play multiplayer we had to meat in person.
Honestly I'm looking forward to being an old koot, to pass down the wisdom and or nonsense that was passed down from my grandparents. To dote on my grand kids in ways didn't with my children just like my parents and grandparents. History moves in cycles, and not all of them are bad. I wonder what my kids will be nostalgic for?
I have had these very same thoughts as well. I like your way of thinking…
thats true
We think alike, too. As someone who grew up in the 90s, I felt like kids who grew up in the 2000s got to experience an enhanced version of a lot of similar experiences 90s kids had, similar technology but more advanced and with a healthy amount of connectivity (relative to these days) for those who clicked with it.

As a 2000's kid, I watched a HECK amount of Cartoon Network. In fact, I consider 2008ish-2019ish my CN childhood and, even today, I have some shows to watch
I was born in 2003 and I just turned 20, everything is pretty different. I remember when kids play the Nintendo DS on the bus. I remember when the blackberry was a thing. Heck I even remember VHS.

I think that as I get older, I realize that I loved growing up in the 2000s because of the nice childhood freedom I had when it was time to have fun. Parents played the role of sheltering us from the bad that was going on around us. Unknown to us, our parents likely missed the decade of THEIR childhood. So I think its up to us to do the same to children, let them have their fun and filter out the bad that goes on in the world. For all you know, two decades from now, some guy on TH-cam might be making a video about why they loved growing up in the 20s... And you may have personally been a part of that in your own way.

Hearing you say you were only 9&10 in 2011/2012 really put things into perspective. I was already 16/17 at that point so you were probably born in 2002. I was born in the mid-90s (95) so my version of a 2000s childhood is very different from someone who only experienced 2007-09. I'm more nostalgic for the early-mid00s when I was 5-10 years old. I grew up with Gameboy Advance and Gameboy AdvanceSP. I didn't have a DS but I did get a Nintendo Wii when I was 12. I remember transitioning from VHS to DVD and from dial-up to broadband internet. I grew up with powerhouse/city era cartoon network and would come home and watch kidsWB. Razor scooters, Bratz dolls, Pokemon, and Yugioh were all the rage and almost every kid had a Beyblade. I witnessed Rugrats in Paris, Shrek, Finding Nemo, and all the Harry Potter movies come out in theatres. I'm glad you enjoyed your childhood but I need someone born between 1992/3-1997 to remake this video so we can talk about more than Nintendo Wii and Handy Manny. Maybe throw in some Hey Arnold, VideoNow, and GameCube.
Exactly this! I was born in 1997 and can relate to everything you mentioned.
This feels like a documentary of my childhood in the 2000’s. I did the exact same shit except with a PSP and PS2. Playing ball with the boys, hide n seek, watching movies, going to bed late at the friends/cousins house. It’ll never be the same
I was born in 2006, and from that point to the first few years of the 2010's, oh it was fire. Hide and seek inside was insane, you'd find this cracked hiding spot like in the closet or something. On a friday night or something you'd build one of those couch/blanket forts with your siblings and play games. Oh it was certainly a great time to grow up, great video man!
Born in 1993. Best years to be born.
We still got a childhood without smartphones and such plus got to know the technology early enough to not be lost now in this world.
I loved it
Born in 1992 and can confirm! We got the best of both, a childhood in the 90s and were tween/teens in the 2000s.
I feel the same, 1995 represent ✌️ I am now at the age where my mom had me, but having a baby of my own right now would only emphasize the feeling of my childhood world remaining a thing of the previous generation. We can't go back to that world without tech 💔
You're right...I was born in 1991 and will turn 32 tomorrow

Being born in 1997, this was nostalgic as hell. I remember going to my friend's house to play Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 on the PS2 and had a blast. I also got into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise with the 2003 series and loved the turtles ever since. I had so many great memories of that era.
I was born in 2002. I can say for me , I had a nice balance in life so far. I'm 20 years old. I turn 21 on the 15th of February. When I was growing up, I still had the fat-back tv, I had a PS2 and Xbox 360. I didn't start playing video games until maybe around 2009. To some people y'all might think that's kinda crazy but to me it's not. I grew up playing with toys, going outside and playing with my friends. I remember going to the Walmart and telling my mom I'm going to the toy section or the game section, she'd always knew where I was at. I would just stare up at the TV hurting my neck, playing games that I knew I could not get.lol.
For me growing up. I was really into cartoons. Cartoon network was the shit!!! Yea 80s and 90s kids y'all may had a better generation to grow up in, but for us 2000s we had the best cartoons. The original teen titans, camp Lazlo, ed edd Eddy, chowder, kids next door, the tall red character and the fat blue guy, y'all know what I'm talking about, billy and Mandy, etc Disney channel was good and so was nickelodeon, sometimes when I didn't have cable I was stuck with pbs kids. Not gonna lie I hated pbs because I found it boring , but I liked Thomas,Clifford, Bob the builder, WILD KRATS, it's a big world, reading rainbow, . My favorite show was the wiggles.
You know what's crazy . I have a niece, she's 5 yrs old. I asked her do you like cartoons, she said no she likes to play on her tablet. I looked at her like WHAT!!!!! you don't like cartoons!?. It's crazy if y'all have a little sibling or cousin or nephew or niece, if they like cartoons if they have a tablet they probably will say no. That's how crazy times are now. We grew up with cartoons. Nowadays kids like "TH-cam KIDS". CRAZY
My favorite toys growing up were beyblades and tech decks. BRO IDD WHAT NO BODY SAYS BEYBLADES WAS THE BEST TOY EVER!!!!! AND TECH DECKS USED TO BE SOO POPULAR THEY USED TO HAVE TOURNAMENTS. Silly bands were cool too. Then the rubber bands that you could make a bracelet with were pretty cool. Then when I got to age 13, I started using technology. Even though I started using technology I never lost my way.
And watching WWE in mid 2000s was different compare today
How were they a better generation? 90s and 2000s kids had practically the same generation and childhood except with a few advancements
lol you sound like your parents complaining about your niece
I was born in the early 90s, but everything you said is so relatable even if my 2000s were my teen phase. Now that I look back, I consider myself lucky to being able to play outside while getting used to all those new techs along with my childhood friends... And oh boy I do remember VHS and cassette tapes along with CDs! The 90s-early 2000s decades personally my golden era I still look back at out of nostalgia. Don't know why, but if I try to think about the 2010-2020 eras, all I see is just grey and decay.

The Late 2000s was like a whole different experience. iPhone, HD and HDTVs, youtube, facebook and twitter, 360, PS3, and the Wii was huge. To my kid self, the Wii was such a big step from the GameCube and the day I got one in 2009 was insane. When I got a DS the DSi was already out but my mom went for the lite, but didn’t care though as I just wanted a DS so bad lol. There’s a lot more but these are my most fond memories. The 2000s was a great time to be a kid and I’m glad I got to experience it the way I did.
Thats cause not really anything changed from the 90s-2000s tech and culture wise (except history wise, 9/11). Things started changing faster around 2018
I wasn't born in the 2000s, but every single one of these things are relatable, especially the pillow fort
Then you need to get off TH-cam
@@freemokeraines2121 lol what?
@@LewdMe based off of what he said since he wasn’t born in the 2000s he/she is under 13 so they need to get off of TH-cam.
@@LewdMe Get your mind straight
@@freemokeraines2121 all I did was ask. I just assumed they were born before the 2000’s.
I was born in 2007 but this stuff is way more relatable than social media. I played my brother's copied of Mario Kart DS and Super Mario 64 DS a lot and I played Mario Kart Wii a lot. I still have those games today and I'd much rather play them then get a social media account.
same
2007 too, even though I literally don’t remember anything until the early 2010’s, it was still pretty accurate
Same here, though I only use the social media titled Pictochat
2008 gang also social media is mid tbh
@@theonlysamman3889 2008 is when I was born.
i hear everywhere that 2000s were cool, it looks i missed a lot bcs i was born later in early 2010s... its kinda sad that i can never experience anything like this
Being a 2000s kid was an experience I’ll never forget. Playing Sonic, Mario and Pokémon on Game Boy while Boomerang was playing in the background. Good times, good times.
God, I'm a '02 child and hearing about this is quite nostalgic. Going out to visit friends and play outside, then maybe even go inside for some hot dogs and some videogames and Pokemon... aaaaa
I never had sleepovers though, my friends always left since my mom didn't wanna be responsible for more children, which is valid.
yep this is nostalgic, am a 90 child, but unlike u i had sleepovers in the 90s and 2000s and we were playing actual good games, sleepovers nowadays dont feel the same as kids are prob gonna bring their consoles for fortnite or watch tiktok on their smartphone
@@cannonball7309 you do know that the generation before us also considered our games and activities absurd too right? At least our generation had to listen to the previous one complaining sometimes bout "these kids nowadays are only playing these videogames smh". Which just wasn't true and didn't do any harm.
Let children have fun in their own way. Whether it be games like Fortnite or similar, and watching TikToks together. If it is even that, I mean kids still go outside and have sleepovers like ours, just that they deviate from our experiences. That's the fun of childhood. To experience things together and in a unique fashion makes it so wonderful and memorable.
lol I’m an 06 kid so I loved growing up in the 2000s and 2010s
Same here, I never visited my friends houses though when I was a kid nor did I have sleepovers. I am a 2002 kid as well so I relate to most of what Birdie is saying
That was a hit of nostalgia I didn't know I needed ☺️
Everything in the video resonated with me. This was the greatest thing I’ve seen
'03 kid here and holy shit this video is so nostalgic! EVERYTHING in this video was spot-on!
I had a DS and a Wii, dad at first had Windows XP then eventually moved to Windows 7, grandma had an old Windows 98 pc in her house with Microsoft BOB installed, and I had like 30 games. Also when I was a very VERY young child I had a V-Smile. I'd watch a lot of VHS tapes and DVD movies. When I was very young I had a camera that used floppy disks for storage.
Had a whole bunch of board games, made forts a lot, would play hide and seek a lot, loved to play with blocks, loved to play outside when I was at my friends' house because they had a proper backyard and playground and even a little playhouse in the shed, I loved to play a lot of online free games as well as watch videos on early TH-cam… I could go on and on!
Soooo many memories!
03 baby I got my Wii back in 08
I was born in 2002 , 2000s was just a amazing to be a kid . There was a a perfect balanced . Now a days kids just mature too quick and behave way worse. Everbody i played with would get along. I remember on weekends i would look random youtube videos, everyone that posted a youtube video, just wanted to share there video to the world , now people who upload just want to generate revenue . I watched youtube on my dads windows XP laptop, that makes me very nostalgic . Sometimes when i would go to my moms meeting and my mom friends would also bring there kids , so i used that oportunity to bring my dsi and everbody would bring there ds too. Pictochat , Mario kart , Mario Party, new super Mario bros. Once we played for while we played tag . My Dsi still works from 2010 i dont really use that much since i have the switch but each time i open the album on the dsi its a time machine when i was a kid.
As someone born in 1995, it was an odd phase as I grew up feeling nostalgia over the late 90s and pre 2005 era. That most things that many who grew up in the 2000s weren't really nostalgic for me, as I either didn't have much internet access or I wasn't into most media (especially the Nick and Disney live action shows)
Mid 90s born grew up in the 00s kids played outside social media(2004) was new before it took over everything no smart phones I miss the early days of TH-cam
It’s strange to see people as nostalgic of the 2000s as I was. Although I don’t remember everything, my parents did. I used to watch movies on repeat as I had the original Cars TV, then watched channels like Disney Jr and Nickelodeon on the big family TV. I remember bringing my DS (and later 3DS) with me to school or leaving if it in the car for after school. I’m even one of the few kids who used VHS as I watched it while visiting extended family.
It’s funny that I live with some 2000s if not the 90s to this day. My TV is an early 1080p TV from 2008. My first laptop is going strong being used by my extended family, with my latter laptops being from the mid decade still useful today. I use a portable TV from ‘99 and a similar VGA monitor from ‘98 to play games and watch movies. I even had some fun playing the DS and Wii with friends last year.
I grew up in the 80s and 90s, and the 2000s before smartphones was really the last generation of children to know what life was *mostly* like before things changed so much. Going back into the early 90s and late 80s, no Internet was pretty amazing.
I was born 93 and my mum did her utmost to keep the internet out of the house as long as possible. I didnt have access to a computer for anything other than Age of Empires until I was 13. Really grateful that I got to experience what life was like without it, I think people born in the early to mid 90s really were the last to have concrete memories of that time.
I was born in 96, I had pretty much the exact same experiences described in this video and i LOVED it 😂 thanks for the awesome vid man
i was more of a 2010s kid as i was in 2007, but man early 2010s were just as good as you described the 2000s.
Thank you. Some ppl would say they are 00s kid for being born in 2007.
@@PoorDog69 Ikr, It's annoying. They are a 2000s baby, but not a 2000s kid.
Born in 2000 honestly was the best childhood. I grew up on (when it was actually good) wwe raw, classic PS2 games, fast and furious DVDs, and early internet videos man I miss it. You brought mad nostalgia with those couch forts man.
I grew up in the 1990s - eary 2000s, and can further support that 1998-2005 was a great time.
I was born in 1998, the 2000s especially mid to the end of the 2000s was the best time to be a child, visiting your friends house, playing outside or playing Zelda on my friends PlayStation for hours and no social media. People were much more open back then. Often times we even played outside with older kids or teenagers.
Yes there area where i live you walk out and everyone was outside and everyone knows eachother and everyone is habing fun no matter how old someone was or we he came from
As a kid that was born in 2002 I greatly thank you for bringing up all these wonderful memories I forgot about
i’m an 04 baby and this was exactly how my childhood went. playing mario party on the dsi while eating cheese toast my mom made me on a sick day was the best. we really lived in the golden age
Born in 1999 in Eastern Europe (Balkan), I got to experience some of these stuff. Cartoon Network on cable tv is basically my childhood. Also I played on my aunt's Windows 98 computer a lot before my parents bought a family computer in 2005 with Windows XP (still have it, and still works). Thank you for taking me down memory lane to a simpler time.
I'm genuinely sorry for all the baby's and children growing up these day. , Social media and todays society is such a bad influence and it's a shame they'll never be able to live through what we've experienced
I'm old enough to remember the early 2000s (00-04) it was still 90'sish vibes with dial up internet, vhs, no high definition TV. Landline phones were a thing
the 2000s and early 2010s were honestly the best time of our lives!
‘02 kid here 😎
yup i’m a 2007
21 years old
22 could’ve guessed
I’m 2011 but I wish I was born in 2000 I think I’m having a phase of worrying about the future so I try to live in 2000s
I would say the 90s through the mid 2010s were the happiest times
Was born in 2005 so wasn't able to have the full experience but I lived the majority of these and it's fun to remember. Better being late than to completely miss it fs
2004 and honestly and I’m remember to hard this time,Window xp(nobody have vista at this time),Ds mkds(miss the time when if you have one game all of your friend can game).the nostalgia makes me talk to much
Born in 2004 and I remember when I was around 4, getting up at 4am and playing pinball on windows xp

Oohhh man I remember the old window xp dang I just now thought of that thx for unlocking the old memory you two😄
@@lukeson8934 I was born in 2006
Born in '93... watching this kid talk about all this stuff that existed when I was like 17 as if it is all a distant relic of a bygone age was pretty depressing...
Facts when he said 2011/2012 and how old he was during that time I was like "dam I was already well into high school by that point, talkin sophomore and junior year"
Right! I was already on my 2nd year of college at that point feel like an ancient now
hes born 2002/2003 hes barely a 2000s kid too lol
I was born in 2003 so almost everything about this video is so accurate for me, I love the 2000s
Same here! 2003 gang!!!
@Buzás András Yup! & now that it's 2023, us 2003 babies are gonna turn 20 this year!... I STILL feel like a kid! 💀
Lucky y’all, I was born in 2008 😐
Don't forget about me. A 2004 kid. We grew up together, and share the same stuff back then.
The 2000's and the 2010's were a magical time and I feel sorry for the next generation of kid's,It's a time where the majority of kid's would actually play with Netflix gun's,actral lightsabers and action figure's instead of just staring at our phones watching cringe tiktok...I sound like an old man but I'm only in my 20's😂
As someone born in 2005, this video spoke to me personally
same bro
I was born in 2005 as well
I was born in 2002
2006 but sp true
I was born 2006 but yeah same
I'm born on the year 2000. The 2000s were the last authentic and wholesome decade. The middle of 2010s up until now don't seem like a time for children.
This video makes me feel incredibly old. Talking about playing with things as a toddler that I didn't have until I was a teenager.
I remember learning what video games were with the turbo graffix 16 and then being blown away by the N64 and later, the GBA/gamecube
All of it gone, like tears in the rain.
Growing up in the 2000’s is way better than growing up now.
We had such similar childhoods. Hiding the DS under the pillow, VHS Tapes, the Windows XP PC, Wii games and eggo and landline (that my parents still use) and watching cars on repeat. I watched cars everyday and was mesmerized by cars in general. It’s what made me a car nut.
So relatable. I remember playing Mario on my Gameboy Micro and watching TV on nickelodeon on a tube tv. Oh, and of course, I can't forget running adobe flash games on my laptop which barely ran windows 7. Good times.
@@grantsgamesandtech312 flash games were amazing. Addictinggames was amazing. Everything was amazing

Halo CE
Being born in the early 90s in Mexico right as the economy collapsed was a trip. It’s like we were lagging a few years behind the US. I remember my family having a rotary phone, a black and white TV, a typewriter I used for homework, and a bunch of other tech from the 70s and 80s. I didn’t see a computer until the late 90s when I was almost 10. It feels like my childhood happened in a completely different era and it was nice.
Even tho I was born in 95, my brain hadn't developed enough to remember what the "vibe" was like pre 2000. So even tho I'm technically a 90's kid, I've always identified more with the early 00's. Such an interesting time.
Damn. I was born in ‘93, and I can most certainly remember the “vibe”. There was this feeling in the air that I can’t describe. I mostly just remember the late 90’s, 97-99, but I have very brief memories from probably ‘95-‘96, I didn’t really feel the feeling until it was the late 90’s, though. 97-99 felt very special in an indescribable way to me.
I was born '95 too, but my two siblings were both born in the late 80s (and my cousins as well) so I grew up with ALL the 90s hand-me-downs. That said, I also had plenty of early 2000's exposure. It's weird, I feel like the early-mid 90s kids had the borderline experience where it's not fully millennial but not fully GenZ either.
@@MasiukA I feel that same way! It's like we're in this weird limbo stage where we can kinda identify with both millennials and gen z'ers but not fully lol
I was born in 95 and I agree. The kids in these comments saying that they are 2000s kids when they are born in 2004 are delusional. Nobody after 2001 can really claim being a 2000's kid.
ur more 2000s kid if u were born 1995 because u spend more years of ur childhood in 2000s
I literally grew up with 70% of this in my whole childhood
Even tho i was born in '11
I still have those olds tv from the 00s, so many dvd's and Dvd player 💗
It's cool that even tho i was born in the early 2010s i got to enjoy so many stuff from the 2000s that it makes me feel that i grew up in the 00s.
