For anyone here who watches Ross's Game Dungeon, I got a brain worm over the weekend that made me NEED a Game Dungeon t-shirt, and since there's nothing official available, I decided to spend a few days making a design to print on my own. I'm pretty drat proud of it, I must say, as I wanted something in Cavity Colors' signature style and I think I nailed it pretty well. https://twitter.com/SlickNickLives/status/1257885744351154182

Antifa Turkeesian posted:The Bush era was an absolute cultural nadir, a second 80s except without good horror movies. Music, television, literature, fashion, design: it was all utter trash. For music there was Linkin Park, Eiffel 65, Smash Mouth (which is unironically good! gently caress you)and a ton of other stuff. For tv, there was Avatar the last Airbender, Teen Titans, Spongbob (the golden years) The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, Dave the Barbarian, Jimmy Neutron, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, Drake & Josh, the list goes on and on. Holy poo poo the 2000s was a great era for cartoons and kid shows. For Design, there was Y2K aesthetic (which was still around and common up until at least 06/07) Basically what I'm saying is Antifa Turkeesian you are horribly incorrect.

gently caress I didnt even mention any of the games??? Like most of the greatest gaming series got their best games or got started in the 2000s. I don't know what crap ya'll were into but for me, the 2000s were the best. lol there's a reason my custom title is "Y2K girl" lol

Smash Mouth was the 90s. I did forget about Avatar and Teen Titans, though. And Justice League. I guess I was out of the target range for the rest of the kids’ tv of that time. Battlestsr Galactica was a revelation at the time but has probably aged horribly. I’ll still defend Lost (but not in this thread).

Battlestar Galactica holds up and while the miniseries did feel obligated to do a 9/11 allegory it at least did so without turning into rampant jingoism. It focused instead on the uncertainty and panic surrounding the attacks rather than on oorah let's kill people dogma. There's plenty of stupid poo poo even in the first (and best) season but it nails tone and aesthetic and the acting was never bad. It was RDM's anti star trek where he dived into all the themes he wasn't allowed to discuss while he was writing for TNG and DS9. Even the weakest part of the show, the humanoid cylons, were at least buoyed up by excellent acting.

Casey Finnigan posted:It felt like the Y2K stuff was the last little extension of the wacky, wild 90s design sensibility and then everything that was visually dynamic or interesting just instantly fell out of favor in 2001. Hm yeah, there's your problem, in the early 2000s I was just a kid (7 years old in 2000) so I grew up with N64, Playstation, PS2, and Gamecube and when I wasn't playing video games, I was watching Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network. I was too little to understand politics or what was going on in the world so I missed all the bullshit. Antifa Turkeesian posted:Smash Mouth was the 90s.

For me, Smash Mouth is the 2000s because that's when all their songs were showing up in kids movies (like Shrek and Big Fat Liar and Snow Day and Clockstoppers) and cartoons like Kim Possible. https://twitter.com/Early2000sStuff/status/1215059158493552642 I think theres kind of an age factor. If you were older, like say late high school or college age then sure, all the boring adult shows and political crap going on sucked. But if you were a young kid like me at the time, it was a magical time.

i am personally of the opinion that while of i can pick out a handful of favorite things from the early 2000s/bush years, a great majority of the mainstream was dictated and spearheaded by some of the most wrongheaded, vile thought processes and people. soneone earlier mentioned 'saw' which imo lead to at lead a decade of awful torture porn horror being the hot trend.

IMO the Bush years were hard on movies and videogames but had some of the best broadcast media that's been produced, and where many view "the golden age of TV" beginning. In the space of a few years we had prestige shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, Band of Brothers, Mad Men, Oz, Six Feet Under, In Treatment, Breaking Bad, Scrubs, Rome, Treme and Boardwalk Empire to name just a few that come to mind. Each of these shows were ambitious, weird had ten times the budget and creators ten times the control they would have had if they were made just ten years earlier. I don't want to sound like a cranky old man or poo-poo any good new shows, but I would also go a step farther and say it kinda ended before Obama's term was up. There was a time between "shows actually getting a substantial budget for the first time" and the advent of streaming services/netflix domination where channels were genuinely, honest-to-god trying to win people by having the best prestige tv they could. While budgets are still high, the current model is now "we need as much !!!EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!! as possible". Again, this isn't to say that there still aren't good shows being made, but I think that streaming services didn't really deliver on their promise of revolutionising TB and have just become a replacement for cable; lots of cheap poo poo you can watch at your leisure.

I will say I think mid-to-late 2000's pop music was pretty dire. That was the period where every single song had to be a club song and because of that they all kinda blurred together on the radio in a repetitive bassy mess. But I also love the indie scene that begun around the early/late 2000s, so whateva fun hater posted:breaking bad was 2008. If I recall, in the first few seasons they were really wrestling with creative because they essentially wanted to make the show as art house and weird as possible and HBO were a bit too scared to pull the trigger. As the show goes on the creative team are eventually given free loving reign which imo is where the show loving rules. Weird bleeding statues appearing in pubs to heavy metal music. Entire episode-long dream sequences. Ben Kingsley playing himself getting robbed and punched in the face. Chicken Town. tbf it's been ages since I've seen it but it's amazing that the most popular show in the world had the loving balls to air an episode like Heidi and Kennedy or The Test Dream or the two-part episode that was Tony in a coma in a Silent-Hill esque dream world where he was a car salesman who hosed over some buddhist monks and got stranded at a hotel Calico Heart fucked around with this message at 13:20 on May 6, 2020 |

LESLIE VERNON RULES, that movie is so much fun these future sopranos eps sound so much better than the awful violent rape episode it subjected me to. honestly everytime theres a dream sequence i go apeshit because theyre always so good. the extended storyline involving tonys trauma re: talking fish was incredible

The 2000s were a pretty solid time for movies. Perhaps not as good as the 2010s but heck I don't think it'd be too contentious to say that the 2010s were the best decade for film since the 70s so I won't hold that against the 2000s.Captain Invictus posted:the oughts had tons of amazing anime, too.

Yea there were the growing pains in the early part of the decade during the transition to digital but there was a lot of ambition going on too and heck I'm fine with that tradeoff.

Can't stand that loving song now though, and Shrek was never good. While All Star's release is pre-2000s, it's cultural significance stems mostly from being in like 4 movies from 1999-2001 which, if you were a kid constantly rewatching Digimon the Movie with its bangin' soundtrack, absolutely can make Smash Mouth a fixture of the early 00s.

the 00s were a bad decade for music if you only listened to radio pop maybe but many of my all-time favorite albums came out around that time. Art punk, garage rock revival, and electroclash were all happening during that time. The emo/post-hardcore scenes had some amazing bands come out of them. and also more complex computers and DAWs led to a lot of really cool experimental electronic music as well
