Welcome to /r/Noughties

Most people who are here, are really 2000s kids

As you all have experienced the decade, can you share some features of the decade, that you noticed or experienced, that no longer exist, but were not noticed by most back then(and now)?

I, for one, have a feeling, but cannot discern what it points to

These where the bomb back in the early Noughties! All I remember is salty, super crispy, garlic powder triangles sold in those Tesco ‘share bags’ aka weekend snacks. Anyone know Jack Cohen to ask him to bring the crisps (every pregnant woman needs) back? ✌️

Hello,

I can't think of 2000s without crying because these were the years I was happy and everything was mostly fine.

I'll explain to you why I feel like everything is finished, far away... I was born in 1995 but I lived my "teenage" life between... 8 and 13 years old. I say that because my friends were three of four years older than me.

So aaaalll the things I remember are very far away, I didn't have a "real" teenage life when I really was a teen, it's like I was already and old man remembering his happy times at... 17 years old.

Now I'm nearly 26, I have no friends anymore since a long time, no gf, nothing. I feel soooo alone in my 00s bubble, listening to Blink 182, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, The Offspring...

And because I was with older friends when I was young, all the nostalgia is from the late 90s and early 2000s generation...

​

Why do I say that here ? Again, with all the posts I already wrote on reddit about my depression and all of the bad things happening to me, I'm seeking hope, I'm seeking a kind of help.

Because of what I just described, it's been 10 years I see the world in the most negative way you can imagine : everything is over, no sun will shine for me again, the happy times are over, all I've got left is souvenirs... You know it feels like the world is going to end in the next minute, no hope, it's over, I'm alone.

I'd love to make friends in real life who are from this generation, omg I love to imagine myself partying listening to punk rock from 2000s with people.

But AGAIN, the present hits me like the biggest punch you can receive : there's a realization I'm having a good time living things from the past, things that are over.

I had this dissociation, this derealization at the Sum 41 concert last year in France. I was having a good time and then there was this "voice" that broke COMPLETELY the mood I was in : "they sing songs from the past, those songs are from the past, they're not in the present, they sing songs that are "over", songs that represents a past generation"

And then I was having a mental breakdown in the concert, I went buy another beer even if I never drank alcohol in my whole life. I wanted to forget this was over, I wanted to shut that voice down.

Exactly like in 2019 : I met Frankie Muniz from Malcolm in the Middle. And again, this voice broke the mood and I didn't fully enjoy the meeting even if he was so nice.

​

It hurts so bad, the pain isn't only psychological, it's also a physical pain, my stomach is hurting me, my arms, my legs, I have headaches...
