The 2000s were garbage and this cover was a terrible one-hit wonder that was mocked relentlessly when it was released

The 2000's and the 1990's are easily some of the most overrated decades. This age of unchecked American triumphalism produced some of the most mindless consumerism, some of the most cringeworthy music, and some of the most dogshit politics.

You need to have amnesia to be nostalgic for this period.

I was a tiny baby child during the 90s and 00s and should be the prime target for 90s nostalgia. Yeah, sure, I like some 90s stuff, retro games and tech etc. But the culture? Fuck no. I would never god back.

The shit I endured from growing up in that era cannot be stressed enough.

we're 5 years out from this being the new nostalgia craze

2009 internet though…

Finally someone who remembers the 2000s for what they were. I swear when I talk to people it’s like they have amnesia. If I could depict the 2000s as an image it would be a hot rod flame Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts. That’s what the 2000s we’re like.

I fucking love cargo shorts. They're for me to carry things, not for you to look at.

lmao yeah i distinctly remember being in Music Appreciation in like 2006 and our teacher playing this & the entire class basically going "wow that was shit!" so it is funny seeing the 180 this cover and Alien Ant Farm in general has gotten

I remember everyone liking it but ok.

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

I do not remember any mockery it was well liked in my circles.
