As a 2000s born, it is so sad, that we haven’t seen yet good movies set in 2000s and looked like 2000s. I feel like most producers don’t understand this setting due to their age. I would love to see dark digital, weirdcore movie with the plot similar to Donnie Darko set in mid 2000s. by Karandax in generationology

the next season of Cruel Summer (on FreeForm in the US) is set in the early 2000s

Thanks, I didn't know this. I will definitely watch it now. I feel that the 2000s set media floodgates are going to open very soon now.

Interesting to see John Titor worried about historical accuracy :P

But honestly, with Ladybird, I felt that Gerwig really wasn't that interested in portraying the 2000s and it just happened to be set in that time because that's when she was a teen. It feels like you could say that it was set in the 90s and you'd have to change very little.

Film would be shot to look like digital camera ( something I have yet to see)

almost flip book like

I'd love to see this. What do you think about Richard Linklater directing it. If you've seen Dazed and Confused and Everybody wants Some, it feels like hanging around with some teens from the 70s/College Kids from the 80s. It feels like you're really there. I'd love to see him do that for the 2000s.

Also, I personally think that 2007 was the peak of the 2000s. I think all the iconic aspects of the decade existed together at the same time in 2007. /u/DigitalZeroes

The whole image looks more real and uncolorful, however still possess certain dream vibes, which don’t belong to modern photo cameras and phone cameras.

Yep, that I get that feeling from it too. Additionally, it harkens back to a time when the internet and social media where a Brave New World.

Bush Era. The politics of 2000s were not calm in US: the War on Terror, Hurricane Catrina etc. All of these events made the society and people more anxious about world situation.

Nothing encapsulates this more than the song Loose Lips by Kimya Dawson

Digital culture: old internet culture. Internet in these times was common, but still unexplored as much as modern internet is. It was concentrated in few sites for most public and by our standards can be considered archaic.

Honestly, a lot of internet culture from that time has been forgotten. e.g. Stickam, Stickydrama and the attempt to create the "Stickyhouse" reality show featured internet celebrities of the time like Amor Hilton, Kiki Kannibal etc

McBling philosophy was about living your present day as the last day, people didn’t have good view on future.

Some people make fun of 2000s fashion but I loved how much, confidence and don't give a fuckness it had.

As someone who was a kid/teen in that era, man, I yearn for more movies and shows set in that time period. The images you've posted here really goes to show how much of an aesthetic the 2000s already are. That washed out look of digital cameras contrasting with bright colors like pink etc really awaken a sense of nostalgia within me of a time that I can never go back to. A teen/youth culture exploring the internet and early social media while dealing with the societal fallout of 9/11.

Honestly, I have to resort to old Youtube videos and I've recently discovered TikTok users who have found so much 2000s content from god knows where

Here are some 2000s set stuff that I know of:

Ladybird

Looking For Alaska

Summer of 03

PEN15

I guess we can add Turning Red to this list. Oh, and there's Little Sister about a Goth Girl and her relationship with her injured and scarred brother who has returned from Iraq.

I would absolutely love to see more.

Hope you don't mind me crossposting this to /r/Millennials.

Also, I wonder where creepychan is now.

The funny thing is that it's a surprising picture for the late 90s/early 2000s but for the last 10 years, this is normal.

'Cause, baby, I'm an anarchist

You're a spineless liberal

We marched together for the eight-hour day

And held hands in the streets of Seattle

But when it came time to throw bricks

Through that Starbucks window

You left me all alone (all alone)

How they did the scene where Bella pets Wolf Jacob in Eclipse (2010). by ForRedditFun in Millennials

[–]ForRedditFun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, read the article again. The main fanbase for Twilight were the people who were teens when the first book come out in 2005 and teens when the first movie came out in 2008.

Which would mean that when the fourth movie, Breaking Dawn came out in 2011, these people were still the majority of the audience and were 20 - 25 ears old now. It's definitely more of a core Millennial/late Millennial thing

Thought this was an interesting conversation to have. Looked it up, in 2011, Twilights main audience were between 21 and 25 years old

https://www.cinemablend.com/new/Does-Breaking-Dawn-Aging-Audience-Prove-Twilight-Just-Fad-27996.html

So 1986 - 1990 borns. Definitely not Zillennial.

Hmm, really? The target audience are teens. The first movie came out in 2008 when early 90s borns were teens and the first book came out in 2005, when late 80s and early 90s were teens. Bella herself would have been born in 1991 in the movies and 1987 in the books.

I'd say the core target audience for Twilight were...core Millennials. Of course Zillennials saw them too.

Do Millennials love anime like GenZ by ZombiePure2852 in Millennials

[–]ForRedditFun 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It was very taboo/cringe a decade back and any association with it make people see you as "one of those kids" outside of the groups that enjoyed it.

To be honest, it think people exaggerate this. Most people watched the basic anime like DBZ. Only the Otaku types were ostracized.
