The only part that makes your comparison absurd is the fact that there's nothing special about 2006.
In your head, right now, imagine the 1950s. There's a distinct style you're seeing, isn't there?
Now picture 2006. How is the image any different than today, besides the cars today being computers on wheels?
We would be glorifing 2006, if there was anything worthwhile about it.
emo kids and hip hop of the era. frosted tips, lots of hairgel.
there was a lot of stuff that was different back then. The stuff that was fun was also in its infancy.
You could really get a home loan too.
Eh frosted tips were around for a good decade by then. Emo is hard to separate from alt. You didn’t name an example of the hip hop from that era so…
Do I have to be an expert in things I dislike? Emo was definitely different to generic alternative, the swoopy hairstyle and dominating MySpace being a factor. If you want the stuff I knew more about, metal core was also big back then and thankfully pewtered out, meanwhile tech death gathered more and more steam and had it's moment in the sun in the 2010s
No smartphones, or at least they weren't common. (I was a weirdo who carried a PDA everywhere)
Which probably explains why vintage turn of the century tech is becoming popular.
That was around the time everyone started using nokias where I grew up. I can find a distinct vibe for 2000s (2006 is 2000s). That's the time where the distinct SMS writing style was born for teens. That's something that is long gone nowadays.
9/11 killed our culture.
