The main one that comes to mind is the infamous Bjƶrk swan dress (2001) being parodied in Hannah Montana (2007).

(And Princess Protection Program). Disney originals that thrive in layering too many clothes, the struggle of trying to be about the genuine production of art while starring the semi-corporate made-to-be stars of early 2000s Disney, calling everything rock for some reason as pop punk slowly dies. Pre-recession dreams of career grandeur. Plus a childhood favorite of 2000s-ers

Ultimate hipster millennial derpcore faux-reality MTV show. I honestly had to google it to see if it existed or if it was an amalgamation of the 2010 vibe that turned out to be my own fever dream.
It came out when I was a freshman in high school. this was pre-smartphone and i spent a lot of time watching MTV in the morning before school.
My husband is a couple years older than me and was also a MTV kid, but heād never heard of this show. I made him watch the clip of the titular Liz covering āThe Funeralā by Band of Horses and he couldnāt stop laughing. It is just SO 2010, if you werenāt there, this will put you there. For todayās kids, it sounds like that one clip on instagram live of that child singing that british tiktok song (M to the B?) in cursive and the other girl on the live is smiling with tears in her eyes from trying not to laugh. This is the environment where that voice started lol
I am genuinely curious if anyone else remembers this show or if I was the only one that watched it and somehow didnāt realize it was entirely scripted.

I adore finding a random video from like 2005 and reading through the comments the way a historian would examine an old manuscript from the 1700s. Are these people still active YouTube users? Or are they forgotten accounts? What did @jjlwis mean by "awww im gonna miss rob too!!!" ? Who even is Rob?? Anthropology in the digital age... so many questions... it's fascinating.
The important thing for me is not to add new comments. I feel like I'm disturbing an old archeological dig site and my sticky modern commentary will make the video crumble away into oblivion. More importantly, I don't want the algorithm to suggest the video to a bunch of people who will spam the comments sectionā major yuck š¤¢

early 80s to early 2000s truck models are the perfect sizes imo. current trucks are transformer-sized behemoths that could easily crush normal vehicles into smithereens upon impact and i legit donāt know how those things are even street-legal. also, idk if itās their design, reliability or the nostalgia factor per-se, but thereās a certain sazĆ³n those older trucks have that newer ones donāt.

with social media being this pervasive entity that has weeded its way into our daily routines for the past 20ish years (plus a global pandemic that really solidified those habits), many young adults today have spent a large amount of their lives living online. it has become the new norm and iām not gonna pretend iām above any of this because itās so easy to fall into it (i am literally writing this rec on my phone whilst itās a perfectly sunny day that i should probably go out to enjoy).
with that being said, in the larger scheme of life, being in your 20s is still in a weird way the beginning stages of your life. itās a period to try new things, make mistakes, learn from them and develop an identity thatās independent from the environment and people who raised you. though you can learn to do some of those things online, they donāt hold a candle to actually experiencing those things for yourself in real life.
all in all, the best way to not sleep thru your 20s is to prioritize in-person experiences that allow you to get a better understanding of yourself and your values. whether that be getting your first tattoo, moving to a new city or country, exploring your personal style or taking up hobbies you couldnāt or wouldāve never done as a kid, this is an important formative time to venture out and get a sense of who you truly are.
