I saw somebody else respond in this format so Iām going to provide my misc memories from being 6-16 in the 2000s:
⢠frying an egg on the sidewalk/asphalt/car hoods with kids from my apartment complex because we were convinced it was that hot out
⢠watching SpongeBob seasons 1-3 on repeat
⢠watching mtv after school and always having a talk show or pbs queued up on the āprevious channelā button so if my mom came home I could quickly look like I was watching Ellen or Oprah or cyberspace all along (mtv shows were so raunchy)
ā¢you had to watch vh1 for anything music related
⢠catalogs!!! i would do all my āscrollingā in limited too catalogs and then dig through racks at tj maxx to find similar things my mom could actually buy
ā¢teen mags for the quizzes
⢠driving around with my mom listening to her cds while she smoked and ran errands (honestly this still holds up today/ I keep it alive in my own ac-less suv)
⢠beanie babies and being called out if you had fakes
⢠listening to radio Disney on my boom box before bed
ā¢riding my bike aimlessly when I had nothing else to do
ā¢walking to the gas station with my $5 allowance and buying Sobe, now n later, tgi Friday potato skins, and cherry vanilla coke
ā¢I also got in trouble a lot for wandering off or smoking rolled up sticky notes or vandalizing storage units with ābrat girlā or something so y2k
ā¢I remember my outfits so wellā¦. Many cheeky graphic tees, ringer tees, layered tanks, peasant skirts, stripes, capris, platform sneakers, chokers
ā¢redesigning my MySpace every weekend
ā¢changing my aim screen name with the seasons
ā¢being bullied by boys in middle school, over aim or getting prank called
ā¢when I got a cell phone I never remember charging it, but I do remember trying to break my Nokia brick because I wanted a razr or a chocolate, but it was truly indestructible
ā¢listening to mix cds in friends cars as they began to drive because nobody had an aux cord or Bluetooth
ā¢2008-2010 weāre really dark so Iāll spare you more details
