00s sucked. People here are probably too young to remember it, but 9/11 and Iraq changed fucking everything in a very bad way.

I still remember on 9/11 going to school and watching an arab kid get the shit kicked out of him for being a terrorist and we didn't even live in the US, in fact, most people here hate Americans, but shit just got kind of dark after 9/11. There was stupid amount of pro-US propaganda all over the place as well, you had songs with American flags and shit and everything was grimdark and about "The day america dieeeeeed", if you dare criticize the US in this period, say goodbye to your career, there was a pop band called the Dixie Chicks, one of the biggest bands in the world, destroyed their careers overnight by shitting on Bush.

00s were cynical as shit.

Better Otaku culture though, might be nostalgia, but whatever.
