Fuuuuuuck this song is a time capsule. Very soulful though. Why don't zoomer rockers wanna make cheesy shit like this anymore? They love larping the era.
Did boomers really enjoy skateboarding enough to have a video game about it? It seems so cringe. Even the music is cringe and feels racist. I really can't believe these games were ever popular. Was society really that different in ancient times?
>Did boomers really enjoy skateboarding
No >enough to have a video game about it?
Yes. THPS was much more arcade then realistic so it was insanely fun for what it was. Also, frick you and do a flip.
Either you were team Sum 41 (preppy with a cool side), team Blink 182 (grifter and or skater), team System of a Down (grungy metal kid), or you still liked the backstreet boys (homo)
Here it was Green Day and Linkin Park.
The early 00s really were a low point for popular music. I'll give SOAD a pass
Probably something like NFS Underground 2 or Most Wanted.
On loosely related note, I love it how even more serious games from early 00’s couldn’t hide their want to be ”cool”. Just recently replayed Splinter Cell, and while the intro of it starts in a way that you could see in any modern game, it got a warm laugh out of me when it whips out the song:
Either you were team Sum 41 (preppy with a cool side), team Blink 182 (grifter and or skater), team System of a Down (grungy metal kid), or you still liked the backstreet boys (homo)
I actually owned the whole enema of the state disc and played it several times. I just listen to anything that is on the radio, but thanks for trying. lole.

All bands you shouldn't think are cool after the age of 12.
>Melee
Melee might have came out in the 2000's, but it didn't really become popular till the 2010's, that's when all the competitive events starting taking off and popping up. Halo in general makes sense but Melee is def a 2010's thing.
If you say so, it wouldn't define the 2000's though if it was just casual. Competitive Halo was already a thing in the 2000's. Casual play is not a measure of defining a generation.
Na it was definitely a thing in larger cities. In NYC there were a few game stores that had TV's with consoles hooked up to them with a paid timer. The only games there were halo 2, melee, MvC2 and assorted fighters. Nothing else. There was a large local scene long before the smelly autistic morons ruined things. Even the biggest internet cafe here had a section just for people to play those games, and they actually hosted CAL and CEVO events there.

How did the 2000's do it? How did they make pretty much 5-10 masterpieces every year?
Game companies were more medium-sized, not too small to be indy and not too large to be AAA. Developers had the healthy balance of making something that will sell + making something out of pure love.
Any PS2 shovelware

PS2 Tony Hawk games
Yes. That or Crazy Taxi.
Early 2000s, 100% this. Halo 2/3 kind took over then it became never ending brown shooters.
these
Is Tony Hawk a real person or some made up name like Tom Clancy?

go away with your bait
>Did boomers really enjoy skateboarding
No
>enough to have a video game about it?
Yes. THPS was much more arcade then realistic so it was insanely fun for what it was. Also, frick you and do a flip.
No but skateboarding/most other extreme sports and it's culture was just seen as cool back then. Mostly because of Bam Margera and Tony Hawk.
Back then America was the white man's country. Luckily brown people changed that and now we get nothing but games about shooting people.
>Did boomers really enjoy skateboarding
There were a few years where I would skate almost every day with friends I would ride it to and from school
>It seems so cringe
No, those were the homosexuals on rollerblades
>Was society really that different?
Not all of us grew up on the internet
Yep.
PS2 racing games
Any gba game
Picrel is peak 2000s
From the gameplay, the OST, and the protagonist herself.

not gonna lie this game scared the shit out of me as a kid. the monsters, etc
CUZ I'M IN TOO DEEP AND I TRY TO KEEP
UP ABOVE IN MY HEAD
WoW unironically
Sum 41's style is that of 90's pop punk. When I think 2000's pop punk I think AFI, Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy etc.
That's emo.
A lot of what people refer to as "emo" is post hardcore/pop punk. Saying AFI isn't pop punk is moronic.
Most of what he listed are pop punk. Real emo music was actually good
That isn't emo.
This is emo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NYbojdoAQE
That isn't emo
This is emo
I always hated Coheed and Cambria because their lead singer is so ugly looking.
they had _1_ (one) song
ONE
and thats what was fricking blasted on TV/Radio over and over
MCR is not pop punk.
Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge is a pop punk album.
lel
Ganker rotted your brain
The early 00s really were a low point for popular music. I'll give SOAD a pass
worse than now? no way

Sam, you motherfrickers?
Any game with record scratch sounds in the menus
Pic related.
Idk Perfect Dark felt really early 2000s with it style and faux-future tech
oh you know... the game that goes BU-DU-DUMDUMDUM..BA DA DUH DA DA DUHMMMM
I dont even need to post a pic, if you know you know
he got fat but got skinny again and did a bunch of acoustic covers pretty recently
he turned 40.
funny coincidence: they have a drummer named Stevo and I thought he was the same Stevo from jackass.
god i wish that was me. tall girls are so fricking hot.
>tall girls
She's unironically normal height, he's just short...
Either you were team Sum 41 (preppy with a cool side), team Blink 182 (grifter and or skater), team System of a Down (grungy metal kid), or you still liked the backstreet boys (homo)
I liked all of those. What am I, mr anonymous
Easy -- you're a poser. Yall were a dime a dozen and couldnt name more than 3 songs from any of those bands without cheating.
I actually owned the whole enema of the state disc and played it several times. I just listen to anything that is on the radio, but thanks for trying. lole.
whoa you owned the whole CD??
actually Im not one to talk, I had All Killer No Filler and thats it. Put that shit on loop for like 2 months
Wtf you owned the whole album?
All bands you shouldn't think are cool after the age of 12.
yeah
mutt is my favorite song
this one I like too
>System of a Down
>Grungy metal kid
You can't be grunge and metal. Tell me you were born in the 2000s without telling me you were born in the 2000s.
u r a gayet
Here it was Green Day and Linkin Park.
I still liked Pearl Jam.
>Blink 182 (grifter and or skater)

Emo loser.

Smash bros melee or halo 2
>Melee

casual melee was huge in early 00s. esports wasn't a thing then.
If you say so, it wouldn't define the 2000's though if it was just casual. Competitive Halo was already a thing in the 2000's. Casual play is not a measure of defining a generation.
Part of the reason why competitive melee got so big in the 10s was nostalgia from playing the game a decade ago as a kid
>nostalgia
Frick you. I hate people like you so fricking much.
Popular culture is defined by the masses, not your personal preferences. Sorry kid.
>Competitive Halo was already a thing in the 2000's
mid to late 00s
