I was in elementary/middle school in the 2000s. I started 8th grade in 2009. Crazy how nobody is on their cell phones. Even in the very early 2010s it wasn't super common.
@@Theoriginalotaku96 man honestly for my current classmates it’s all phones and social media…why couldn’t I have just been born in the 70s or 80s instead of a disgusting year called “2008” 🤮🤮
Class of 2009 here. I felt that things in society started to change that year, but it was still pretty simple. No smartphones or instant access to social media. I got out of high school right before the rise of smartphones which I am really glad. I remember after I graduated, everyone suddenly moved from MySpace to Facebook. Oh and the MySpace days, you needed to go to an actual computer in order to have access to it.
The worst problem I had with cell phones back then was hip dialing due to my Spanish class being in an auditorium and the seats being tight (I kept everything in my front pocket).
I graduated in 2002 from high school, graduated in 2006 from college, and had my son in 2008. I agree with another commenter that things started to shift in a negative way around 2009-2010. I miss the simplicity of those days. Sad elder millennial here 😂
This actually made me shed a tear of joy and happiness. Class of 2008 here. Sparkman High School Senators. I miss my high school classmates and friends. I only talk to a few close ones every so often. Everyone has a life and has to achieve adulthood to its fullest. I am still a kid at heart though. Can't help it lol
Class of 2005 here. I grew up in the latter 1990s. The early 2000s were an extension of that period from a fashion standpoint, which seems to have nosedived since then. Had some fun times in the hallways and classrooms, but some stressful times, too. Still, glad I got through those years when I did. Favorite grad song: Holiday by Green Day.
Class of 2007 here, and this is making me feel nostalgic and old. While the 2000s weren’t perfect, being a teen back then still beats being a teen now or even during the 2010s. Life was still somewhat simple then and we weren’t yet dealing with the problems and crises that adulthood threw at us.
@qu3646 class of '05 here. It's crazy to think that are now full-fledged humans who were born after I graduated, such simpler times, I wish I could back with what I know now.
I graduated high school in 1997 so I just missed being a 2000s teenager! I got close enough though but I would have enjoyed graduating in 2000 or even 2001. Those are just my initial thoughts.
Class of 2003! I've said this before and I'll say it again, the late 90s to mid-2000s was such an amazing time to be a teenager and young adult. It's absolutely sad that the kids after us were robbed of the fun and excitement of being a teen. We were worried about our favorite artist or band's new album, hanging out with friends, the latest popular TV show, parties, the person we had a crush on. Kids today worried about global warming, and social politics.
Feels weird in a way (dunno why). Wonder what it'd been like for me if I experienced those days. School life has evolved but I don't think the mentality of a vast number of teens have. If anything it has deteriorated.
High School years (2007-2010) -Hollister & Ambercrombie was life -Phones were only used for calls/texts -Everyone had a iPod for music -We had RU-vid, MySpace, & Facebook -RU-vid was a brand new concept -Online gaming was fairly new -Xbox Live on the XBox 360 was popular -Kids went online on desktop computers -Either chatted on AIM or edited your MySpace -Had to edit your “Top 8” friends list -Had to switch up your profile song -Around 2009 Facebook became popular -We used RU-vid for music & funny video’s -Soon as I graduated, everything changed -Was the last generation without IG & Snapchat
Also, you know it's 2000 when the camera quality is low and someone is wearing a 90s rainbow shirt @0:25. It must be 1999-2000 so the decade just started.
