@Jack Straw oh I was talking about feeling the effects of 911. I felt like the effects of 911 really didnt hit us until like 06. I mean I know things changed immediately after 911, but Im talking about people becoming fully aware. Like once the shock wore off.
Nah things started changing drastically around 03-04 when the south started taking over in music and technology was taking off like crazy. 2000 through 2003 was very similar
Early/mid 2000s still had a 90s vibe to it. Overall, the 2000s decade ushered in a whole lot of changes in this world. Once I started seeing more cameras being put up in late 2000s, I knew things were definitely headed in another direction.
I love this! This was pure vibes and fun. When people used to really interact, before social media. Now everyone looks down on their phones 💔💔💔. I miss my childhood, Brooklyn, the 90's 😰😰😰
For real, social media and cellphones took over everything. I missed those days in New York , I was 18 years old graduated from high school when this video was made. I'm almost 40 years old now.
I'm 35 and I'm sooo thankful to have been alive back then. I'm from lawton oklahoma, but the hood was still popping here and on a way better vibe than anything in today's world.
Everything about this video screams late 1990s/early 00s. From the music, to the fashion, the old school cars, no phones, the block was still lit. Man those were the days.
I was a child around this time and every Summer day was spent OUTSIDE. Running around, playing with open fire hydrants, jumping rope, playing tag, roller skates, scooters, attending endless block parties, water balloon/gun fights, and so much more. Anytime I hear children playing on my block it makes me so happy because it reminds me of THIS. I mean it definitely doesn’t compare lol, but it’s a special moment for them.
No generic trap music blasting No men wearing skinny jeans No one looking down on their smartphones No use of social media and corny apps like tik tok Good music, good vibes, good times.
I left Sept of 2000 i was 16.. cried cause i didn't wanna leave my hood. From Flatbush and i miss these days. Notice how much ppl interacted with no cell phones
I was 33 years old and living in Bed Stuy around this time. I got my first computer this year. Wow!!! Things were mad different back then. People were just a tad more nicer and tolerant of each other. More unity 1993-2003!
BNOZ99 ! I don’t think anyone loves poverty. However, people learn how to deal with it, and make the best of it, it’s a humbling experience.. which results into a form of unity and bond. Which is what I miss from these times.. no. I don’t like trashy areas. I love a clean neighborhood, however that was then, and I appreciated it, because it made me, now that I know better, I still appreciate it. It’s the moments that I miss & value, not the circumstances.
Born in 1998 i’m at least happy that I got to experience what life was like before it got ruined by social media and phones at a kid. My younger sister is 11 years younger than me and it’s crazy how different our childhoods were. We’re moving towards the future while the state of the world is rapidly decreasing. To the point that I could never bring a poor kid to this effed up planet. Sucks that i’ll never get to enjoy this level of absolute freedom as an adult 💔💔
A lot of these people moved out of NY to the south and west coast. Now NY is filled with brand new immigrants that didn't live there before in large numbers... it won't ever be the same

Aw man people were much friendlier, more stand up. Miss these days man, My family had WAY less back then but we were so happy to the point that being poor didn’t matter
Damn this era is so over. Kids dont even play with toys, they watch videos of kids playing with toys. Living life through a screen and not through their soul.
No dudes wearing their girlfriends clothes when you had a problem you fist fought and left it at that prices on gas and food disnt leave you wondering if you were gna be homeless if you got either or people were outside vibing human interaction face to face kids outside playing not stuck inside on a game or phone for days this tike frame is the 30 to 40 year olds time our parents look back on the 60s and 70s as we lived it and it was good times god bless everyone reading this
First person I noticed is my mans Zeqway!! Nigga love rapping since he a kid 😂 Grew up to be one of Brooklyn's/Flatbush realest brothers up to date. He a real one fr! Back in those days was fun tho, Brooklyn was a party central 4 - 5 days straight. A lot of homies lost thier lives as well out in those same exact streets. Flatbush wasn't nothing to play with back then, it was like every day dudes/people was getting gott out there when is was growing up. I lived on Flatbush and Albemarle rd. Glad to say things have evolved and changed where things are a bit more descent now. After all, things can't and won't always be the same. Change is inevitable. This is like 3 and a half decades ago where watching at here lol.

Early 2000s was just like the 90s. I say it all the time the 90s didn’t end until September 11th
Every decade is like that. It takes about 2 or 3 years for it to end. That's the reason early 2000s seem closer to the 90s than anything.

I was born in 99 and this was my childhood growing up in the mid 2000s to early 2010s. Just living In the moment. Not a care in the world.
Crazy how we refer to the early 2000s "back in the day" lol I was 11 years old. Thanks for the video. I miss this shit.
It was a little over 20 years ago...so it makes sense
Not a single person with their head down staring into a smartphone. The good ol days 🙏🏾
It’s summer of 2023 in queens nyc and it’s crazy to me how “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See” is still played at like I was jus at a 4th of July party and that played, jus know we was movin 🕺🏽💃🏽🔥
I love nyc culture is a vibe 😂👌💫💫
Is it still like this over there?
@@jaydenlee6573 Depends on the block i know some blocks in my neighborhood that does block parties
@@jaydenlee6573 no it’s not.
I just can't stop watching and smiling. ❤
Kids in this video are having fun. Ranging from their early 20's to early 30's now. Having a GREAT time. Don't mix up millennials and gen z...
93’ here
Yup, I was born in 89.
Thank you. Don't mix us up.
Growing up in New York City must be a hell of a trip
Looks like late 90s early 2000s. I lived in PA at the time and it was just like this. Everyone outside having fun. We then moved to Texas in 01' and SAME THING. I miss these times.
This is 2000.
this was a everday thing on my block in Brooklyn
Are you talking about the gangbangers , stick up kids , ex felons and drug dealers because if so that's a good thing they got ran out ..
@@blast4me754 hipster comment.
@kyle Dyson hahah "internet gangstas"
@@blast4me754 stfu bitch
Loud painful exploding bowel movements do you live in these neighborhoods?
Lol I passed this block yesterday. Oneside gentrified the next side is the same
2:48 the man was watching the neighbourhood with a hawke eye and would be ready to protect and make money at all times, a soldier of his people stays ready
He looks like he’s just chillen
That’s what you got from this… your a cop
Im from costa Costa Rica but been always facinated by New yorks culture and style, I wish I could have lived this life in which everybody from the same projects know each other, I know there was lot of drugs and criminals, but I love how everybody had love for each other in the hood
Chicago is very similar.
Damn i remember as a kid with 7 years old in the late 2000s in 2009 been like this with cousins and friends. Childhood was the best times man
🇵🇷🇪🇨🇪🇸
Was scrolling trying to find a doc and stumbled upon this. I grew up/live not too far from Westbury Court. In elementary school at the time of this video.
Early 2000s was a beautiful time
Before 911, before the 2008 market crash and before Covid-19. The Vibes were pretty good.
Also before 2013 too. Smartphones changed society so fast it's crazy.
Those kids who r dancing just that vibe >>>>>
Dang Brooklyn was lit back in the day🔥. Street music bumping, everyone outside, good vibes. Is it still like that in Brooklyn or New York in general? I wouldn’t know.
Nah man its like 50% black 50% white/others now ... Neighbors callin cops these days if the blocks are lit like this in 2021 lmao
ricardo martinez lol that’s tuff
It’s still exactly like this in The Bronx, we’ve been the least touched by gentrification
@@zhamiragonzalez6925 the Bronx is still not as hip like it used to be,,, a lot of afro americans and puerto ricans left, and its mostly brand new immigrants now... you must not be from 80's , early 90's NY
No Brooklyn is very different now... brand new type of people there now
Caracas Brooklyn é top anos 2000 que tempo maneiro que eram todos unidos, Parabéns ao video 🇧🇷
The internet and smartphones ruined it all
Fr!
I was the little kid dancing to the thong song! Lol
lol my city in early 2000's was looking exactly like that lol great times
Its crazy, all of kids in this video grew up and now are young adults in a completely different world/harlem
Bro Watching this brought back ALOT of nostalgia, especially when Sisco thong song came on, if you were a kid in these times life was magical, before social media, this was around the time Nickelodeon was still good. Aw man people were much friendlier, more stand up. Miss these days man, My family had WAY less back then but we were so happy to the point that being poor didn’t matter
Damn this era is so over. Kids dont even play with toys, they watch videos of kids playing with toys. Living life through a screen and not through their soul.
Aaaah, maybe yours or the ones you know, but there are children still playing outside and with toys that I know and have seen
RUclips is the best Time machine we ever had
Back when everything and everybody was outside
When the housing market crashed Brooklyn changed.
Everybody I grew up with left, only a handful of us still tryna hang on. Very sad, gentrification really did a job on my hood. 😢
@@islandgirlnycbk I watch everybody hates Chris.
No dudes wearing their girlfriends clothes when you had a problem you fist fought and left it at that prices on gas and food disnt leave you wondering if you were gna be homeless if you got either or people were outside vibing human interaction face to face kids outside playing not stuck inside on a game or phone for days this tike frame is the 30 to 40 year olds time our parents look back on the 60s and 70s as we lived it and it was good times god bless everyone reading this
F*cking facts, New York dead AF🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ right now.
I miss those days so much smh . i wish i can go back
Brooklyn all day, sad u can't hardly chill outside anymore cause of police and stop and frisk everyone start doing everything indoors when i came back
Why?
Why
Rents and police got high numbers now
Deez JayoJay I fucking hate gentrification it made everything so boring and lame 😒 but I had to learn how to except it.
@@DeNado123 mhmm
That's the Brooklyn I knew. Had to live it. Most of didn't have video cams and didn't want to be on camera for obvious reasons.
I was just born around the time this was filmed. lived around this area. crazy to see how things were
I'm a shout out East Flatbush E34 and Church!!!! Bless up all my Trini, Bajan....all W.I!!!!!
@4:11 that beat is legendary, just hearing it gave me a feeling. Double RR mixtapes
I miss the 2000 growing up nobody hangout like they used to
Phones took all the hanging out in the street
I miss the 00s like from 2000 2001 2002 2003 probably 2004 as well
@@ScottyMaster-hv9fd2004 was still good around 2005 that's when things started changing
First person I noticed is my mans Zeqway!! Nigga love rapping since he a kid 😂 Grew up to be one of Brooklyn's/Flatbush realest brothers up to date. He a real one fr! Back in those days was fun tho, Brooklyn was a party central 4 - 5 days straight. A lot of homies lost thier lives as well out in those same exact streets. Flatbush wasn't nothing to play with back then, it was like every day dudes/people was getting gott out there when is was growing up. I lived on Flatbush and Albemarle rd. Glad to say things have evolved and changed where things are a bit more descent now. After all, things can't and won't always be the same. Change is inevitable. This is like 3 and a half decades ago where watching at here lol.
I can tell a number of them are Carribean blacks.... I'm black American but miss being around Jamaicans and Puerto Ricans in NY... That used to be the majority then
Back when NY was New York, no social media no phone shit str8 face to face interaction vibez
Very nice.Greetings from Poland
