I get you. I think that is because the generation gap has become tiny since the internet got big. The difference between 1980 and 2000 is like a millennium compared to 2000 to 2020. I imagine it'll be even smaller between 2010-2030
disagree. I was a skater in those times and these days everyone does things faster and bigger with more style. The grass is always greener. By 2005 everyone was wondering why we looked like tools 5 years earlier. It's only recently that people are looking back on that time with nostalgia
I think that there is one thing that makes those days more cool. Camera quality tbh it really looks better when you can see the pixels... Maybe it's just me but it gives me that punk/skate vibe.

Yeah for me 1989 was like 11/12 years before I was born, and now it seems so long ago. I remember growing up and always thinking of the 80s as like 20 years ago.

I have the same mindset as you. I was born in 1982 and was 18 in 2000. While I remember some of the 80s, the main decade that I came of age was the 90s. I came to have a great appreciation for the 80s though, and wanted to learn everything I could about it. Even now, the 80s remains my favorite decade despite not remembering much from it.

The world was different. It had a different vibe. it sort of, dissapared aeound 04-06. There was a vibe, like, something you dont notice till its gone. Something about he world. the only way i could explain it is, almost like a universal shift, like a different reality. Maybe it was phones. idk. But even now with covid19, its like its sort of happening again. But there truly was a feeling a vibe or some kind in that time period that doesnt exist anymore.

@nigling that's true! Time is too slow when your time in school. So enjoy when you are still a kid or teenage, sometimes I just joke to my 5 years old kid to switch he is becoming me. I just feel sometimes my prime time just past, so just enjoy our life bro and see what happen in the future..
In Poland, we did the same at 2000's. Wonderful old times. Now i'm 33yo and i've returned to skateboarding after 12 years and it bringed me back the principle of happiness that we had as a youth. Some of my buddys from school that we used to skate together - also returned to the board. It's so cool. No rivalry, no competition, no judging, just satisfaction. Pure skateboarding.
Awe, I remember those days. I was one of those cool skater kids with the spikey hair, popular for my talent in skateboarding! Out here in L.A when staples center was made it was like my playground! Getting chased by the security was such a thrill! Sure miss those days! Broke a collar bone and had several sprains from skating that I don't regret because it was such an experience. Most of us started going sideways though. Getting into gangs, doing drugs, moving away.
people bitched at skateboarders back then, they even made laws against it in some places you just think it's a big deal now because of social media god i fucking hate social media
I lived this era in Paris. Skateboarding was trendy and cool. Best moment on my life, sport, fun, no competition, we encouraged each other and no cell phone, we didn't care what others thought. Now i’ve two kids and skatboarding is an old friends only in my heart. It's like we had to live this in 2000 and then it disappeared, sadly.
Can’t believe early 2000’s is considered historic footage already. 1995 to 2000 was my skate and rave days. (15-20 years old). Happy days. After 9/11 things turned to shit real fast. Now it seems every few years things get exponentially worse.
world seems to get worse from your perspective, because your understanding of the world is getting better. children don't think about stuff, like adults do.
The 2000s the times of: Ps2 games, Nintendo Game Cube Star Wars prequels, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, X Men movies, Skateboarding, Pop, Rock, Boy Bands and a lot movies of missing actors in present days
When i was like 4 (2006) there was a group of "ruffians" that used to skate at the the basketball court because that's all we had. I think about those dudes occasionally, wonder if they still skate
I was born in the 2000s, can i still say i wish we lived in a time before cellphones without sounding like a boomer? It just seems much simpler and carefree...
you know that boomer video is dumb and a bunch of lies to weaken you. Boomers life was harder than you can even imagine, they built this country, survived the war and depression, they were known as one of the greatest generations that ever lived, millennials are known as the worst. If you do not respect your elders then plan on being dumb. But these are GenX not boomers. Boomers are 80 years old.
@@arcaneflame4696 Everything you described was either a mix of the greatest or silent generation. Boomers were born from the late 40s to mid 60s and lived relatively peaceful and prosperous lives.
maple tree yea then they would be around 80 duh. And no the silent generation did not ever see the industrial revolution. You really wanna correct me and be wrong?
As much as I do appreciate having my smart phone I do wish I did grow up during times when cell phones weren't much of a thing. I always love hearing stories from my parents from when they lived in California during the 80s and 90s
Seems to have been a social shift in the mid-2000s. I've always felt about that specific time period that looking back. Undoubtedly the internet becoming a part of regular, daily life with the introduction of smartphones and its spread among the masses, affecting the development of a whole generation, for better or worse. What I find even more interesting is how humanity happened to reach such an advanced point around the turn of a millennium.
Does anyone agree that footage before the September 11 attacks, especially in New York, is so eerie. There is a strange and unnerving feel about this kind of footage, I can't describe it.
Skateboarding was my childhood habit but now I don't remember how to do it. I've decided to buy a Santa Cruz tomorrow and start again as a beginner but when I go to the skate park the kids do better than me I'm embarrassed lol
Far out 2000 was 20 years ago. I was only 4 years old but i remember a good portion of it and it does feel like yesterday. For me the crazy thought is the distance of time being the same between 2020-2000 as it was between 2000-1980. If we go a further 20 years back it’d be 1980-1960. That really distills it into perspective for me. We must be present in every moment, cherish the good times, and go for our dreams because it could all be over within a blink of an eye.
I wish I grew up in the early 2000s, times seemed so much simpler back then, being born in 2003 I grew up with so much technology i feel I missed out on moments like these
Denny Mui oh yea u sure can. I’m saying I do kinda wish I grew up in an era without much technology, I feel like kids now are too into their phones and ps4s
I was born in 2001 and living in Murcia, Spain all my childhood. I'm always gonna say that 2000's were the best decade of the history, the music, TV shows, the way to live, everything. Now I look back at the time and I'm kinda sad knowing that these good times never gonna come back.
I was watching this thinking "dang this is old lol" but then I realised, I was the same age as these kids back in the early 2000's and then I just felt sad after.
These guys are all in their 30s and 40s now, man summer when i was 15 was the greatest summer of my life. Hanging out downtown all day and all night with the guys. Some still talk some dont.
thank you for this video, I was born in 2001 and i’m skating my youth right now. It seems so normal but this made me realize one day in gonna watch these same times of my life pass by so might as well be aware of my present 🎁
Greenkidd just wait when these commies don’t get what they want this election cities are going to burn. Total chaos and anarchy. We’re all gonna have to come together to overcome it ourselves. We decide our fate
I always love watching movies from the 70s-00s. While I did not live to experience those years it is always fun to see how different the world was from today. Flip phones, different fashion, different cars, different people, different slang and so on. Sadly the world changed quite drastically in those years but as long as those movies exist I can see that things were not as shitty as they are now. I know a lot of people say that they want to go back and relive the good ole times, but I really do wish to go back and live in those days. I'm not saying the world is bad, but it seemed way better in those times when compared to today.
Nope there was cellphones in the late 90s and 2000s. They were just flip phones, you used em to text all your friends where u were gonna meet or in school but now people LIVE on their phones. They talk in real life about when and where they’ll be on their phone 😂
Im glad I did and very thankful, but there will be a kid one day that will be saying the same thing about your generation’s youth. Even with 2020 being the weirdest year I’ve ever lived.
DEADSTEADY SOUNDSYSTEM I understand your starting to notice a pattern of nostalgia. But im not sure its consistent enough to be called a pattern yet, like everyone now says they miss the 90s but in the 90s was everyone saying they missed the 70s or 80s etc?

Some of my buddys from school that we used to skate together - also returned to the board. It's so cool. No rivalry, no competition, no judging, just satisfaction. Pure skateboarding.
Awe, I remember those days. I was one of those cool skater kids with the spikey hair, popular for my talent in skateboarding!
Out here in L.A when staples center was made it was like my playground!
Getting chased by the security was such a thrill! Sure miss those days!
Broke a collar bone and had several sprains from skating that I don't regret because it was such an experience.
Most of us started going sideways though. Getting into gangs, doing drugs, moving away.
And where are u rn? How are u doing?
This video gives me a strange trip down memory lane which I've never had.
Miss the 2000s man I swear. Especially growing up in New Jersey and New York. What a time
mega beatz word, most true New Yorkers don’t even live in New York anymore. 🗽
@@zxzx92 yea too expensive.
Anyone else get nostalgic when they see old VHS camcorder videos?
Such an odd era to reminisce on... looks so familiar yet so vintage at the same time
That's the camera quality 😂😂😂
Mad respect that they were the OG's who didn't grow up on there electronics like most of us including me.
The 2000s: "Cool they're skateboarding."
*_The 2010s and 2020s: "Angry Karen noises_*
Dude it always fun to run away from Karens on your skateboard , you call her names as u run
It's always been the same though
people bitched at skateboarders back then, they even made laws against it in some places
you just think it's a big deal now because of social media

It’s crazy how modern day skaters still kind of dress this way
Keeping the faith alive. I really like early 2000s fashion.

You have 30 years olds in your school still?
I lived this era in Paris. Skateboarding was trendy and cool. Best moment on my life, sport, fun, no competition, we encouraged each other and no cell phone, we didn't care what others thought. Now i’ve two kids and skatboarding is an old friends only in my heart. It's like we had to live this in 2000 and then it disappeared, sadly.
RUclips just recommended this but I'm totally thankful. 2000's were a really nice time to live the adolescence
Can’t believe early 2000’s is considered historic footage already.
1995 to 2000 was my skate and rave days. (15-20 years old). Happy days.
After 9/11 things turned to shit real fast.
Now it seems every few years things get exponentially worse.
Welcome to the laaaaaand of tomorrow~~~!!!
Every day things get worse now.
Same age...i agree but at the same time we saw the best of everything considered nostalgic nowadays in its unladen form...
world seems to get worse from your perspective, because your understanding of the world is getting better. children don't think about stuff, like adults do.

Greetings fellow weeb
@@W.2026 well hello there. See ya on the other side
The 2000s the times of: Ps2 games, Nintendo Game Cube Star Wars prequels, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, X Men movies, Skateboarding, Pop, Rock, Boy Bands and a lot movies of missing actors in present days
Late 90s early 2000s was a fun time. 9-11 changed america for the worse.
Skateboarding with friends for almost half the day, coming home to play Tony hawks on the ps2, what a life it was back then.
dont forget the 90s/ early 00s hip hop
wow, to think that was 20 year's ago.
When i was like 4 (2006) there was a group of "ruffians" that used to skate at the the basketball court because that's all we had. I think about those dudes occasionally, wonder if they still skate
I was born in the 2000s, can i still say i wish we lived in a time before cellphones without sounding like a boomer? It just seems much simpler and carefree...
you know that boomer video is dumb and a bunch of lies to weaken you. Boomers life was harder than you can even imagine, they built this country, survived the war and depression, they were known as one of the greatest generations that ever lived, millennials are known as the worst. If you do not respect your elders then plan on being dumb.
But these are GenX not boomers. Boomers are 80 years old.
Arcane Flame Go outside
iAnthony says the kid with daily fortnite videos to the world traveler. 🤣
Arrogance is the reason your generation is so dumb.
@@arcaneflame4696 Everything you described was either a mix of the greatest or silent generation. Boomers were born from the late 40s to mid 60s and lived relatively peaceful and prosperous lives.
maple tree yea then they would be around 80 duh. And no the silent generation did not ever see the industrial revolution. You really wanna correct me and be wrong?
This brings both simultaneous joy and sorrow.
As much as I do appreciate having my smart phone I do wish I did grow up during times when cell phones weren't much of a thing. I always love hearing stories from my parents from when they lived in California during the 80s and 90s
Can’t believe a year later I was introduced to this world

Seems to have been a social shift in the mid-2000s. I've always felt about that specific time period that looking back. Undoubtedly the internet becoming a part of regular, daily life with the introduction of smartphones and its spread among the masses, affecting the development of a whole generation, for better or worse.
What I find even more interesting is how humanity happened to reach such an advanced point around the turn of a millennium.
Does anyone agree that footage before the September 11 attacks, especially in New York, is so eerie. There is a strange and unnerving feel about this kind of footage, I can't describe it.
calm before the storm
this was made in 2007 6 years after 9/11
@@markboyle4584 It clearly says 2000 at the beginning of the video
New York before 9/11 was just different. A lot less racism for one.
I know exactly what you mean, the cameras had this dingy hugh to them
MOVE IN AND MOVE OUT HANDS UP AND HANDS DOWN. Ahhh I miss the good ole 2000
Skateboarding was my childhood habit but now I don't remember how to do it. I've decided to buy a Santa Cruz tomorrow and start again as a beginner but when I go to the skate park the kids do better than me I'm embarrassed lol
Looks like the best times of a lifetime

It's crazy to think that these guys are like 37-40 years old now, wow
40? Dude, I'm 35 and I was 16 in 2000. Do they look 20 to you?
Mate I said 37 to 40 cause they look 17 to 20 but ok boomer dont get butthurt
it is so cool to know that skateboarding havent really changed since then and it still has the same vibe, such a timeless thing
Far out 2000 was 20 years ago. I was only 4 years old but i remember a good portion of it and it does feel like yesterday. For me the crazy thought is the distance of time being the same between 2020-2000 as it was between 2000-1980. If we go a further 20 years back it’d be 1980-1960. That really distills it into perspective for me. We must be present in every moment, cherish the good times, and go for our dreams because it could all be over within a blink of an eye.
Damn the CONFIDENCE of that girl- where can I get some of that?

I wish I grew up in the early 2000s, times seemed so much simpler back then, being born in 2003 I grew up with so much technology i feel I missed out on moments like these
you can still have moments like these.
Denny Mui oh yea u sure can. I’m saying I do kinda wish I grew up in an era without much technology, I feel like kids now are too into their phones and ps4s
it’s like 90’s culture went on for another decade,2000’s
I was born in 2001 and living in Murcia, Spain all my childhood. I'm always gonna say that 2000's were the best decade of the history, the music, TV shows, the way to live, everything. Now I look back at the time and I'm kinda sad knowing that these good times never gonna come back.
skateboarding havent really changed over the last 20 years. it is still the same as in this video
0:59 that trick sounded exactly like the THPS games menu
I was watching this thinking "dang this is old lol" but then I realised, I was the same age as these kids back in the early 2000's and then I just felt sad after.
These are the type of videos that should be popular on RUclips
The fact you have guys in suits casually walking by kids on skateboards is what makes NYC the greatest
Only people missing is Telly and Casper.
Man time flies.
These guys are all in their 30s and 40s now, man summer when i was 15 was the greatest summer of my life. Hanging out downtown all day and all night with the guys. Some still talk some dont.
thank you for this video, I was born in 2001 and i’m skating my youth right now. It seems so normal but this made me realize one day in gonna watch these same times of my life pass by so might as well be aware of my present 🎁
This makes me so happy to read this comment. keep this perspective valentina.

The good ol' days when the economy isn't that bad and people aren't that toxic and cringey

I always love watching movies from the 70s-00s. While I did not live to experience those years it is always fun to see how different the world was from today. Flip phones, different fashion, different cars, different people, different slang and so on. Sadly the world changed quite drastically in those years but as long as those movies exist I can see that things were not as shitty as they are now. I know a lot of people say that they want to go back and relive the good ole times, but I really do wish to go back and live in those days. I'm not saying the world is bad, but it seemed way better in those times when compared to today.
Except better healthcare, everything was better back then
1:46 "so no head" is all i could think about 😂😭
I wish I was old enough to truly experience the early 2000s (2000-2003 specifically). I was wayyy too young to remember much from this period
Same
I am lucky. I remember 2003
Why do I feel so nostalgic watching this? Not even my memory but I feel like I’ve lived through it
I'm in love with old skate footage
Crazy how everyone in this video is either dead or 20 years older right now.
Lol fucking dead
Everyone in this video is still alive
It was the fact that there were no cell phones. Nobody got caught up in a call or text, it was just you and your friends living the moment.
There were cellphones in 2000 lol, by then pretty much everyone had one
Nope there was cellphones in the late 90s and 2000s. They were just flip phones, you used em to text all your friends where u were gonna meet or in school but now people LIVE on their phones. They talk in real life about when and where they’ll be on their phone 😂

You missed out then. I just to do fireworks every December from 2000-2004 when I was 7-10 years old , good times
Im glad I did and very thankful, but there will be a kid one day that will be saying the same thing about your generation’s youth. Even with 2020 being the weirdest year I’ve ever lived.
DEADSTEADY SOUNDSYSTEM I understand your starting to notice a pattern of nostalgia. But im not sure its consistent enough to be called a pattern yet, like everyone now says they miss the 90s but in the 90s was everyone saying they missed the 70s or 80s etc? If not maybe the next generation won’t think that about todays generation
I’m just know realizing that the party’s on new years 2000 must have been a new level of lit that people won’t experience until 3000
