@@umamifan In the 90s it was still a bit of a niche subculture and the pop culture depictions were all cool edgy hackers and that sort of thing. In the 00s computers became less expensive and more accessible to consumers rather than just offices and wealthier people/hobbyists, so I imagine the aesthetics and advertising started to try to capture the average person rather than just corporate and wealthy customers. Plus, the new millennium coming around is a big deal, so technological optimism and a new more modern style makes perfect sense. And a whole lot more kids got to grow up with computers. Not to mention the explosion of the mobile tech market in the mid-00s. That being said, I was in kindergarten in the early 00s so don't take my word for it, lol. Just my best guess.
@@Overcrox Lol I'm an early 00s kid myself, but I grew up with 90s tech and more in my family. So I got a nice feel for a lot of the late 90s and early 2000s stuff since I was surrounded by the technology at an early age. I always wondered why computers and tech were just suddenly portrayed in a more positive light, but your explanation makes a ton of sense. The whole frutiger aero thing really was idealistic while in the 90s it seems like media depicted it as people having an innate fear for both the tech and those who wielded it.
@@umamifan personally, I don't find 90s technology gritty or evil-looking at all. Both periods of technology for me, are full of hope and excitement for the future. I just think in the 90s, it was portrayed in a slightly different way. Perhaps there is some wistfulness to it, being the fin de siècle.
Plus, CRT displays in those days couldn't handle vivid graphical user interface. And command line was still a thing in the PC market, so many people deemed tech as something dark and eery.
I miss “logging on”. I miss the excitement of connecting with people I just saw at school on the internet. I miss sliding a disc into the tray and watching it close. The sound it made. I miss playing on club penguin for hours and using special speak to dodge the text blocks so that I could connect with people through RUclips and AIM. I miss making videos with friends for school and fun. I miss having nothing to worry about, for years I didn’t know what worry really was. I miss my childhood. I miss my dad.
i remember when we didn't have a computer at home, so me and my sister would spend the evening at my dad's office after work, playing this runway show barbie game that a friend of us copied on a cd for us to play. our dad would make the silliest outifts for barbie to make us laugh and then we would beg our mom to let us stay more. it was probably around 2006/2007. Now that game doesn't work on modern softwares anymore and i haven't talked to my dad in 11 years. your comment reminded me of those brief and happy times
XP was the earliest version of windows that included SiS7018 drivers, so when I heard it after clean installing XP for first time (yes, using devils0wn serial FCKGW) I was astonished that I didn't have to install sound drivers!
@@MacUser2-il2cx It was 2004 and we were still vibing on the promise of the aesthetic of the distant future of the year 2000. It felt like we were still looking forward to it until about 2013, when suddenly everyone was like, “What if we tried NO aesthetic at all? How hipster would THAT be?”
Those were the days. After sept 2001. Things really took a turn for the worst. Things worldwide changed. We were sold a subjective and strawman enemy. Which existed in the minds of those which believed the TV. Now. No way back to better times.
@@jomarquis7116 The early 2000s had some of the best shows though! Teen Titans, Samurai Jack, Megas XLR, MLAATR, Avatar The Last Airbender, the first 3 seasons of Spongebob, Toonami was just getting good too!
I was born in the mid 80's (so high school/college in the 2000's) and the one thing I miss about the 2000's was the hope we had for the future. Not everything was perfect but it still felt like we were moving towards a brighter future. Technology was more balanced then and its use was much more purposeful than today - I hope we have another era like this.
@@joswanlauwkung No. AI things were predicted in that time according to futurologists. But the unexpected problem is the way in which they arrived, not was the entire thing
One thing I liked about the late 2000s was that it felt comfortably separated enough from life. Sure, there were the commercial aspects and all, but beyond that kind of thing, it felt detached enough to really be its own thing. And I think that contributed largely to the feel of the community.
God the slow zoom out to someones actual 2000s set up killed me. I know nostalgia is seen with rose tinted glasses but damn I miss this. The joy of getting a new family computer and you being in charge of setting it up despite being a kid was amazing.
There was a time when anything was possible with my computer even without internet. Every creators were passionate about implementing good stuff as-is. Where did we go so wrong...
❗❗❗if you guys want the visualizer effect (the animation thingy at the beginning) use the original windows media player, download your songs, play them on there, click the "switch to now playing" button on the bottom left, right-click to open a drop down menu, and go to visualizers and mess around with them important to note that for some reason wmp stops visualizer effects when it plays the next song and you have to manually skip to the song for the effect to remain, you can also play the music off of a cd and it'll work as intended
The 90s computer room playlist has already become a staple for me while at work. Maybe the only playlist on this site to really nail down that frutiger aero sound too
Holy shit when 'Like Humans Do' popped up my brain reset. I usually keep track of old things that were ubiquitous around me, but this one got swept under the rug by my memory until today. We're so back.
Microsoft is delusional to think they're gods and dictators we gave them the power and right to exist we can take it back from them brother help me prove a point and push Microsoft back and we will show them who REALLY gives them the right to live in existence.
This just brings back memories of my childhood. My mom's office was where the PC was and my brother and I would often fight over it, when we weren't fighting over whose turn it was on the PS1. Talking with people ALL across the world online, felt so.. expansive! My brother eventually moved INTO the computer room and was on it all the time, playing Ragnarok Online whilst I would burn anime music I found online onto CD's for myself and my friends. I miss the simplicity of my childhood, the ease of making friends, of having sleepovers, of staying up late on the weekend or catching my favorite shows (like Goosebumps or AYAOTD or even Eerie Indiana!) in the mornings and sneaking to watch South Park. It felt... so free and fun.
I was born 01 but had a family computer and admittedly had access to the internet and mmos at an very early age,(would of been no older than 5 or 6 lol) but it made me able to experience mid to late 2000's computing. Just feels weird how cluttered windows is now days, as a kid seeing the transition from xp to vista and 7 was so cool to me for some reason.
It was all downhill when Microsoft replaced actual aesthetics with the “fuck it, who cares” of whichever iteration of Windows accompanied their terrible phones and the Xbox One. It was so influential that even Apple abandoned skeumorphism.
2:51 oh man take me back to that wonderful year of 2006! Installing xp on all of the scrap optiplex machines we got for free from school and running various game servers on them
I'm glad I experienced this era of gaming and internet.Yes, it's true, you cannot let nostalgia blind you. But who wouldn't time travel to experience the feelings of different eras, if they could? This is like time traveling to me.
Ngl, this showed up in my YT suggestion 'cause I was a kid in the 2000's and as an adult nowadays, I wanna keep this memories alive and use them as a coping mechanism to get me through the days
Holy macaroni, the ending of that "Like Humans Do" song has been stuck in my mind for nearly 2 decades now. My dad had it on the family computer (coincidentally also a Windows XP machine of a similar vintage to that seen in the video) and it was wiped after a hardware failure or virus infection (not sure which, possibly both). I could never remember what the song was called, and hearing it again brought back many memories of staring at the WMP visualizer as a toddler.
Remember going into the computer lab at my elementary school in The late 90s and the school had just purchased the new color apple computers what a time to be alive !
I grew up on windows vista as a kid, so that’s most definitely why I adore this aesthetic so much. This is one of my favourite playlists on RUclips for relaxing and playing games, thank you so much!
1:10:30 i used to listen to this so much on my old PC i put this cd into it and it was amazing now things changed and got myself a new PC that doesnt have a cd drive but when i heard it again here i got so much nostalgia
this video is life sould and originality back when everything looked beautiful just for the sake of it instead of deleting aesthetics for usefulness with all the plain souless era we live in
i know i've already commented on this but i wanted to comment again because this is genuinely my favorite playlist in the entire WORLD it locks me in so hard and is full of complete and absolute bangers and has the most amazing visuals... five stars forever
Look at the interface of windows xp, everything is so friendly, so understandable, comfy for work that actually working is a pleasure. After 20 years of progress in user experience the best we have today it's turning the phone black and white
6:41 This reminds me of something. A HP Pavilion from 2003 that ran XP for a family pc. I come home from a vacation to Reno, NV and I flew Southwest when they had the canyon blue livery. I also saw a Weatherstar 4000 before it was retired in our layover airport, Las Vegas. I came home, stayed outside in the yard for 10 minutes looking at the clouds, went inside and played solitaire with my dad on our XP Family PC. If I could go back to 2013-2014 when I was 4, I would enjoy this memory more. I'm 14 and did nostalgia hit me like a truck. Thank you, Kester, for making this memory relive in my head.
Remember when instead of thinking about "logging off" you had to log on? Being online was an activity, you had to go through a small ritual to enter the werid world of The Internet. I think unknowingly it helped create a degree of separation between online and IRL. Little inconsequential things online didn't get to you as much because they were all confined to the computer. There are plenty benefits to modern technology, I just think we need to remember a little more of our attitude towards online life from the past.
I still have my 24 years old working Pentium 3 computer with Windows XP. (I got it in 2006, my first computer, I was 6 years old 😊) the computer was second hand at the time.
Thank you for this--I come here to relax often 😇💙 Wonderful memories of a time when the future was full of hope and possibilities, things were more simple and everything had a fresh, positive vibe!
I have both the Windows installation music and the Zen Garden theme in seperate playlists already so they are a pleasant surprise! Seeing the pinball game and the visualiser gave me intense nostalgia. This is going into my 'calming' playlist for sure :D.
I miss T.V., the internet, radio and the people that were on there from this time. Part of me feels like I will experience it again somehow. Will it be heaven?
In a corner of some parallel universe it will always be Circa 2002 with commercial high-speed internet plans becoming more available, moving into the next generation of Windows OS,and. The internet landscape was still a relatively simple place,there was only so much you could do for work/play,was actually possible to run out of things to do and log off for the rest of the day. We were still a few years away before the social media/smartphone revolution changed everything!
YOOOO FATE THE TRAITOR SOUL MENTION!!! that game brings such nostalgia for me, i've never scrambled so fast to switch back to a window to double check i was hearing right lol. used to download the demo from wild tangent (pretty sure i snagged it from there lol) and play the demo for hours and hours on end. i was what- maybe 12? and i'm almost 26 now. i had completely forgotten about it, i think i might buy and play the actual full version now. thank you for dredging up such an old beloved memory ;w;
Kester you know your shit! When I saw that polar bear bowling Wildtangent app on this playlist, I acknowledged. Then hearing Fate, I literally paused this video to comment. This is the best Frutiger playlist I have ran across! Edit: I saw Bugdom I wanna cry
Nice music of the 2000, you're legendary Creator Content, even i don't grow up with some video games you put. Love this to relax a little bit with the company of my Mom.
While 90s computing is dark and cozy, 2000s is light and airy. Oh, I do so love the old technology aesthetics...
Now that you mention it, why was the 90s depiction of technology always so gritty and evil-looking? While the 2000s depiction was more... carefree?
@@umamifan In the 90s it was still a bit of a niche subculture and the pop culture depictions were all cool edgy hackers and that sort of thing.

I used to have that song burned onto a CD when I was in high school. It made for some great late night drives after dropping all my friends off.

Watching this in 144p for the ultimate 2000 internet experience
144p is too low even for 2000s standards. 240p is probably more accurate
@@nanopone You're right, I just find 144p to be more beautiful

The Sims music hit me like a brick, even though I knew it was coming. Thank you for this lovely nostalgia trip, this took me back to my childhood!
Ah yes, good times. When the world still had actual colors. Now even the desktop is bland and boring.
YOOOO FATE THE TRAITOR SOUL MENTION!!! that game brings such nostalgia for me, i've never scrambled so fast to switch back to a window to double check i was hearing right lol. used to download the demo from wild tangent (pretty sure i snagged it from there lol) and play the demo for hours and hours on end. i was what- maybe 12? and i'm almost 26 now. i had completely forgotten about it, i think i might buy and play the actual full version now. thank you for dredging up such an old beloved memory ;w;
Kester you know your shit!
When I saw that polar bear bowling Wildtangent app on this playlist, I acknowledged. Then hearing Fate, I literally paused this video to comment. This is the best Frutiger playlist I have ran across!
Edit: I saw Bugdom I wanna cry
I can smell these vibes and I love it
the music from the fate game actually broke my neck with how fast I turned to see if my ears were deceiving me
Nice music of the 2000, you're legendary Creator Content, even i don't grow up with some video games you put. Love this to relax a little bit with the company of my Mom.
i'd love to have that old windows media player back
