the 2000s weren't even that good

I now can afford way better stuff than I had in the 2000s.

I'm 25 years older than I were in 2000

The fact it’s 2025 and life is about moving forward not living in the past that only seems better because you were younger and didn’t have the responsibilities of an adult or the crushing knowledge that you’ve failed as an adult.

>>939225370 (OP) #
I feel mixed. Am I nostalgic? Yes. Was it better? Yes and no. Definitely some things better.. I could go back and generally be fine. There's more options now.

Honestly the best part of modern times is all the pawgs around. That would be really the one reason to live in this time. Though around 2005 or so things started to pick up.

>>939226478 #
Huh? Guarantee you those cars would last way longer than the shit we have built today. The only thing that's "improved" with modern cars is the interior design, and that's debatable.

>>939226557 #
>Honestly the best part of modern times is all the pawgs around
That's actually a good point. No one really talked about "dat ass" back then the way we do now. Back then it was all about breasts.

60s cars were tanks. You can go find one behind a farmer's house and get it running and driving. Fix it up a little and sell it for 10x what you bought it for. The only truly bad thing about cars of this era were the tires.

Build quality was shit is more speaking of panel gaps, interiors, etc. The cars lasted forever because they were basic as fuck, which is no problem with me.. I have like 5 of them. It's actually most modern people who whine about driving them because they're such soft faggots and don't have dumb interior amenities. All I want is a radio and power steering would be nice.

Also WTF why is this so true? It also seems like tits got smaller over the years? I swear back in the early 00s the skinny-big tit body type was fairly common. I prefer the pawgs though.

Give me a pawg and a classic car and I'm set.. which I actually already have.

>>939226929 #
It's not that big of a deal, it's just the tolerances of the body panels and interiors weren't very important. I honestly don't even care like I said I prefer classic cars it's usually people today who complain about the lack of creature comforts.

Good. We don't need $60K smartphones on wheels like we have today. I personally like 90s design language for cars. A sweet spot that lasted until the mid-2000. A god blend of old school simplicity and adequate computer control.

Personally I want to dedicate myself to decorating my room like the ones posted ITT. I would 100% sacrifice my 55 inch 4K flatscreen tv for a CRT. As far as old gen consoles, I do own some but I think I could bend the rules by emulating instead of owning physical.

$2950 in 1971 dollars is $23,259.94 in 2024 dollars. Can you get a comparable car for ~$23k today? Well, you can't get a comparable car at all today, not brand new. You could probably mass produce a similar car (AM radio, manual transmission, no airbags, no A/C, no power steering, no other modern features, including safety features) for ~$23k, but nobody would buy it except nostalgia-riddled Boomers who want to relive their high school days

Unironically, black culture became a lot more mainstream. Before there was a "white" pop-culture, aka the mainstream, and the black subculture. Mainstream pop singers were Britney Spears, Christina agulera, and Gwen Steffani; all blonde white girls. Now black culture has largely been enfused with the mainstream, so whites have adopted those aesthetics.
I'm a millenial, so I'm old enough to see the difference of pop culture then and now

GoldSrc (Half-Life 1's engine) just feels more precise
Source is more floaty and its object physics are an annoyance

Unironically, Quads wasted. Your point is also not valid. Black culture especially music, was just more gangster, that's why many teenagers couldn't cope. They were happy with Britney and Christina. Just like they are today with Sabrina and Ariana. Nothing changed. Louis Armstrong and Ray Charles, both black, were very Mainstream and later Jay-Z and 50 Cent.
