What? Post 2002? I’d say post 2006. What was so bad about animation post 2002?

Disney for example made a number of really mediocre films. I hate to act like disney is the gold standard, but compared to what they were putting out in the 90s, it was getting bad. Not to mention the push for 3D animation taking traditional animation down a peg.


I get what you mean. Disney after 2002 sucked. Even if I do like Meet the Robinsons that era before Princess and the Frog wasn’t very good.

I'm some weird mixed breed of an miliennial and a zoomer, I grew up on everything the 90's and 2000's kids watched, listened to and played, and was able to experience the Newgrounds of 2007, but there was a lot of 2010's shows that I watched as a kid too.

I was pretty young during that decade. I remember being excited getting a DS and playing a lot of Pokemon Diamond. I also got a flip phone in middle school and never used it because I was very antisocial

That's a way too wide range of years for a definitive answer. you're basically going from my 2nd semester of 3rd grade to graduating high school and starting college.

If punching my 2nd grade teacher in a temper tantrum over not playing kidz pics right on 9/11 wasn’t something that I so fondly remember I don’t think I would recall anything eventful worth mentioning in the early 2000s


Except maybe getting a GameCube. Regardless no one likes my second grade teacher so no one gave a damn.

More like the entire '00s?


It cannot be adequately synopsized. Too much happened in my life. It marked the end of elementary school, middle school and high school. I was around a nice mix of privileged kids and broken gangbangers. Almost everyone thought I was weird.


I was an academic overperformer in most classes. But whenever I was quiet in class, whether I knew the answer or not, I fumed inside whenever a teacher called on me. If you're a teacher or professor and cold-calling is part of your teaching style, it's no wonder why abuse of anti-anxiety medications is as high as it is. You're contributing to the problem.


I spent a lot of time on here, went to a lot of concerts and spent a lot of time on Stickam in 2009 and into 2012 with rare appearances for the last 2 years.

I'm an anomaly when it comes to my early childhood. While growing up in the early 2010's, I didnt have much tech that was time appropriate. So My early memories of youth are Leap Pad 2, Windows XP and PlayStation2. Along with a box TV. That had either 90's shows i.e Animaniacs or Tiny Toons or early to mid 2000's shows. I also used VHS at the time. With majority of the time using DVD. Just an Old Thomas VHS I used to watch mixed with other stuff.


It's weird I know. A mish-mash of decades coming together creating some great years for me.

Then slowly as it went towards newer stuff, it then back to becoming old.

Creating a near never ending cycle of old and new.

So its like I had a 90's and 2000's childhood mashed together to create my own unique experience.

At the beginning of the 2000's, I was transitioning between primary school to Middle school. Got into a lot of fights, was disruptive in class, and argued with teachers a lot. Got fat as a kid around this time. Puberty hit, and I got bullied a lot for my weight, so I was pressurized to be funny and make friends fast.


Then high school happened, and I spent most of my time in NJROTC. Competitive Airsoft Marskmanship team and Academics.

Graduated a year late though in '07. Moved to a new city with my girlfriend at the time (then got engaged to her, yikes) and worked at a mall at Spencers Gifts. Broke up with her, and moved back home.


Then I started hopping around jobs for a bit. Life after high school only got clumsier as I was finding myself and where I needed to be. Decided to return to school. I attended local community college for Core Classes near the end of the decade.

I vaguely remember 2004 - onwards, but as for like 2005 - 2009 Didn't have the internet for most of it so it was pretty interesting living a lifestyle that wasn't gonna be possible really after for future generations. Most of it was spent playing the gamecube lmao

Important formative years. Had tough times in middle school (who doesn't?), learned how to properly talk to people on the internet, graduated high school... I was so young.

What's high school like nowadways? I've been out for like 5 yrs. Did virtual classes mess your grades up bad or were you too smart for that?
