  36. i think the 2000s was the last decade were everything just made sense. in terms of technology things like youtube came out and they had a great ui and they used the technology they had to their maximum potential .while now the youtube ui is much worse and they made a lot of bad changes. and things like tiktok and Instagram are really popular despite the technology being less advanced. i think that if you time travelled back to the year 2000 and showed them youtube and tiktok and made them guess what year tiktok and YouTube were created they would probably think tiktok would be older. since its easier to have 1 minute long videos than longer videos. there was a YouTube like website that came out a few years earlier but it flopped because the videos were too short people weren't interested. in the 2010 a lot of tech companies started making decisions that made no sense just to follow trends. and it seems like most of the stuff that existed in 2019 already existed in 2009 in a lower resolution form there wasn't a lot of progress in that decade . in terms of politics and culture things were quite good. people online sometimes say that conservatives wanted to ban video games and pokemon but at least in Europe this wasn't a thing at all. you have to go back to the 1970s or earlier to find right wingers like that who had actual influence. overall the 2000s seemed very secular . i was a little too young for this at the time but but seemed like dating was better most women had realistic expectations. nowadays it seems like they all like the thing they are being told to like. but back then they seemed to have more varied attractions. but things were not really that great compared to even further in the past divorce rates were at an all time high they were actually higher back then than today. most people of my parents generation are divorced. but nowadays a lot of men don't have to worry about that because they can't even get married . the few things i did not like about the 2000s was 1 bad music music started going downhill in the late 90s or maybe even the early 90s .i think 2000s music was actually worse than modern music since nowadays its easy to find alternative music online. but in the early 2000s while it was technically possible to listen to music online and it got quite popular most people used it to listen to mainstream music .and the music i like didn't start showing up until the early 2010s and in the early part of the decade my main sources of music were still the radio and mtv. 2 emo culture i guess it was seen as innovative compared to the hyper colourful and optimistic 80s and 90s but it got old quickly. 3 overpopulation hysteria i found out this has been a problem for much longer than the 2000s. but it was seen as common sense that the world was becoming overpopulated and only recent has there been mainstream pushback. but most of my friends are still think its a big problem because of what thy were told in the 2000s and wont change their mind. i used to hope there would be a moment when wokness just vanishes and society returns to how it was in 2013 or 2008 and we can progress from there with a more logical mindset. but so much time has passed we can't go back to that kind of society i am not saying we are doomed but the future is way too unpredictable
