10. I almost played Club Penguin. but I was really more Runescape. Fantasy always appealed to me more than a bunch of penguins.
9. I didn't live close to a Blockbuster so I didn't go. There was Rogers and Gorge Video (local video store) and before Rogers came in, Pic a Flic. That was good enough.
8. Didn't do this.
7. This was a 90s thing. Good thing that I got cable internet in 2002.
6. First phone was a Motorola Flip Phone and yes I did play Snake on there. Then again, I've been playing Snake on PC years prior.
5. Love this. And I can still do it, though I could pick my own pic from my images folder.
4. Ah yes, I did this a couple times. in the 90s.
3. Barely went on MySpace. So no.
2. Never had AIM. I did have MSN Messenger, so the same applied to that. I did have ICQ too. but I stopped using it when pedophiles used it as a medium.
HM:
Who didn't stay up late, building home and playing God? This girl here. She had a Runescape character to power up.
Everyone looked like a human mirrorball. Maybe my sister but not me.
Counting every character in texts - Yea.
burning mixed CD - Yep! In fact I have made several based off how I was feeling. 2 to listen to for when I'm depressed, 2 to listen to for inspiration and 3 for my then. and even stronger now sweetheart who still has them.
Downloading limewire - Oh yes. not just for music but also for Dragon Ball Z movies and episodes. a shame I had a virus on my PC so I stopped using it.
1. Ah Clippy. Tbh, I liked the cat and dog more.

This video hit a lot of nostalgia notes for me.
Instead of Blockbuster, where I live there was Hastings. Growing up, my family and I always took trips to Hastings to get books, CDs, DVD'S and collectibles. Just like Blockbuster, the stores closed. I really miss going there.
I don't think I'll ever forget that Dialup sound. It still haunts me.
And of course, the most nostalgic for me is the Scholastic Book fairs.
My parents and I always poured over the catalogs, and I remember getting a lot of Darkwing Duck books whenever a new one came out. Good times.
I still burn CD mixes to this day. Just like Record albums, you can never have too many CDS.

I would disagree with that kind of logic because not forgetting that dial up internet was actually a thing in the 90s same with aol and instant messenger and with me I was not a 2000s kid I was actually a 90s kid because I was actually born in the 1980s and that means that a 2000s teenager would just be everybody that was born in the early to mid 80s
reply

I keep hearing her say mid-naughties and its just cracks me up every time lol
But boy do i remember all of these. Nothing quite compares to the thrill of the scholastic book fair ( I still have some of the booklet orders they gave us) and the horrifying nightmare that was the dial up tone.

reply

Here because of Clippy, I miss him. I also had my arms covered in rubber bracelets or colorful bracelets with glitter suspended in liquid. I used to get those bracelets at my local Family Fun Center (the family fun center I used to go to closed in 2016)
reply

Back in my early to mid 2000s days, watching lots of cartoons and just exploring music in the wild were my major hobbies. Now theyre succeeded by playing lots of FPS games and shazamming lots of music to greater extent than just exploring.
reply

I know that Scholastic Book Fairs were a major fun thing from our childhoods but I'm awfully confused.
I just looked it up and they exist today too. So why act like they don't exist at all for the kids of today when they are still around?

reply

6: 50 my family has a friend who used to be the president of Scholastic Books Canada so when ever my school got those Scholastic Book flyers I could get anything I wanted in it for free but that friend has long since retired from that job
reply

I so miss going to scholastic book fairs.
Even though I never carried money in my pocket to buy them, I still found some good books to read. I even still have those books that I liked in those scholastic booklets

reply

Omg book fairs are the best. I cry cause my mom won't let me buy a book but when she did, I was the happiest.
Also, playing Spider Solitaire, Space Impact, Snake, Pinball, and Minesweeper, my childhood.

reply

Man, I remember that dial-up sound AND I used to work at BlockBuster. Ahhhh, sweet nostalgia and lets not forget about the amazing Scholastic Book FairI was such a nerd lol btw, I STILL play the Sims
reply

Oh my god I remember so many of these. Dial up was the worst, I had it years past the development of Wi-Fi because I lived in the middle of nowhere.
And Scholastic Book Fairs are still a thing!

reply

YASS! I was in 6th grade in 2002! Loved when the book fair was set up in the school library. Todays kids missed out! I used to circle what I wanted in the Scholastic magazine and give it to my mom
reply

I had a blockbusters right down the street from my moms house. It was also close to a little Caesars, would get a movie then a pizza. Simpler times. The blockbuster is now an autozone.
reply

My sister & I would specifically anticipate the latest barbie movie show up on Blockbuster shelves haha. Mattel got to the point where they were releasing one every 6 months.
reply

i mean CP wa alright. the Disney game i played all the time was Toontown Online, id would play hours of that game and not get bored!
i only played CP when Toontown closed.

reply

I loved going to the book fair when I was in elementary. One year I ended up getting The Hobbit.
I remember Clippy, he was great helping me write some school essays or reports.

reply

I started working at a book store a few weeks ago, and I love it because I feel like I'm going to the book fair everytime. I feel like a little kid again. I miss the 2000's
reply

Scholastic Book fairs have been around before the 2000's. When I was in middle school, 1981 - 1983, I went to the Scholastic book fair. It was the highlight of the year.
reply

Has a millennial I remember all of of these in the 90s and 2000s. Boy those were the days from my childhood and teenage years nostalgia at it's finest
reply

I never really got into playing The Sims but I did however have SimCity 2000 on my old Macintosh Performa computer (which I sadly no longer have)
reply

I loved messing about with Clippy. Especially since I used an old Microsoft Home Vista computer with Clippy still on it to write college papers on
reply

Me: Ooh ooh ooh, I was born in the 2000s! Im so going to remember everything on here
Me: remembers I am Gen Z, and I was born in 2006 Oh.

reply

The book fairs were the only thing I liked about school. I hated school otherwise but dammit if it would keep me from Captain Underpants!
reply

It's really weird because I used to think that sound was super annoying at 4: 23. but now I love it and just brings back memories lol
reply

I never got to play club penguin. It wanted to me to pay for an account but not my brother. He wouldn't let me play on his account
reply

3: 40 I could never wear those rubber band things my wrists were too wide I couldnt get my hand through them my hand was too big
reply

4: 24 the dog hearing in me is howling right now! PLEASE STOP IT! (I have FASD which makes me VERY sensitive to high pitch noises)
reply

The Choosing your windows XP profile picture part triggered me so hard. I still connect people with those pictures from MSN.
reply

I remember there was a myth going around that if we completed snake to max highscore, we would get a new phone from the store.
