Nowadays its color correcting blemish hiding foundation, white hilight toner, contouring tones, etc. It's loving wild how much of an artform it has become. This is true and as someone who works for a makeup company it also kind of sucks. The explosion in the varieties and shades of makeup available means a whole lot of paperwork. I'm dreaming of the day makeup goes from having 48 different shades to just being filled by some automatic color-matching machine in the store. I'd guess most of the modern fashion stuff is probably on Instagram etc, because for most people they don't try to show off as much when they go out nowadays. When I went to school in a big city I saw a lot of crazy fashion, but working in the suburbs I pretty much see people wearing practical boring clothes all the time.

Renting anime at blockbuster was like russian roulette. Were you going to get some awesome gore and titties, or boring crap with a terrible dub? Usually, it was a mix of both.

Dedicated portable music devices are very 2000's. I'm sure a lot of goons still have a 180gb click wheel ipod or something, but almost everyone uses their phone.

If streaming wasn’t what it is now, I sure would have an old HDD-based iPod. Conversely, dunno if I could live with an old flip phone, I barely ever used my mobile before smartphones were a thing.

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:If you're bored and looking for some filler binge material, "The 2000's" on Netflix is decent. There's also a 90's one, but I felt that the 2000's one was more interesting because the 90's have been well discussed and nostalgia'd over but we're only now reaching the point where the '00's are distant enough to feel nostalgia for. That and it's surreal seeing things I still remember from my high school time being discussed as history. Love this. Is it still on Netflix?

Bees on Wheat posted:Not gonna lie, I used to own a ton of stupid Hot Topic clothes, like those pants with a ton of straps and non-functional zippers on the legs. It was also one of the few places to find anime merch at the time, if you were into that poo poo. First time I visited one of their stores was just because they had one or two Sailor Moon things. Then my parents tried to forbid me from going in because it was a devil worship store. I still have a stack of those stupid edgy Hot Topic shirts in storage somewhere, the "you laugh because I'm different - I laugh because you're all the same" and similar ones from multiple birthdays and christmas that I never wore. I could probably make a quilt out of them and actually might now that I think about it.

I did enjoy some of the dumb celebrity dating shows that VH1 had. Rock of Love was my trashy rear end guilty fave along with I Love New York and early seasons of the Surreal Life. Plus my weaboo phase really got set off by Gundam and Visual Kei/Jrock. I had a binder my senior year that was DeviantArt (I think, I may have also gotten it off Livejournal) fanart of my favorite VK band at the time.

Scene and Mallgoth/Punk was certainly a trend, but for regular people, I associate the early 2000s heavily with cargo pants. And the early 2000s really was the golden age of physical media, at least for movies and TV. Mp3s coming around at the close of the 90s reduced the sales of cds to a fraction. But DVDs were everywhere, and it seemed like everything got a release. I bought so many. As I worked for HMV for a long time during then, I'd grab almost every major movie released if it was comedy, action, sci-fi or fantasy. Not horror, because at that time we are in the Saw and Rob Zombie hole and it was just stupid pointless cruelty and gore. At one point I had at least 300 of them. Lucky I got on the selling them off pretty early so I only have maybe 2 dozen left and most of those are things I want to keep.

golden bells posted:CGI-heavy music videos were big. Britney, Aguilera, Kylie, Shania Twain, et al had cgi urban environment videos with them operating/riding cgi vehicles. They went all-in on those lavishly produced music videos with stories that extended beyond the song, and it coincides with TRL becoming the main and often only vehicle for showing videos. So only about 10 videos would be showed on the entire channel each day, they’d be mostly the same 10 videos for weeks with slight variation, and most of them would be dramatically trimmed in favor of the studio stuff, rarely getting in the whole song let alone whatever they had bookending it. What the hell was going to happen with the tiny aliens(?) infesting Korn in the video for Make Me Bad?! I didn’t even like Korn but I loving wanted to know dammit!

If smartphones were never invented, I’d still have a flip phone that would rarely be used, and I’d be more focused. I just find mobile phones to be mostly useless outside of emergency situations. What I wish was never invented was social media as it is now. Message boards are one thing, but Facebook, Twitter, and whatever else that is fueled by social currency can go kick rocks. And it’s not just because I’m mostly a loner, I couldn’t care less either way if it were only that.

Weird factoid/myth, but Metal Gear Solid had all its voicework done in a studio cottage in Santa Monica, CA. When Konami went to the masters to reuse the assets for The Twin Snakes remake, the better hardware on the GC allowed for much of the imperfections to bleed through (so you would hear faint traffic noise and other poo poo in the longer spoken scenes). They ended up re-recording because of it.

I barely use the smart features in my phone, but it's definitely nice to have a camera, navigation, and podcasts in one device.

FilthyImp posted:Poor audio isolation, poor mics, and bad compression is my guess. That's hilarious. But yea, I figured it was bad compression for a lot of them. Though Homestar runner was probably made on the real version of Strongbad's computer. There was that boom of animated flash shows in the early 2000s, I guess because there was no real censorship, they would do anything. So you had things like Mr Wong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdp11lE8S9I Which is horribly racist. And Queer Duck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wImRXN5Y5-w Which is offensive though lazy stereotypes. And otherwise And Hard Drinkin Lincoln, which is probably least offensive of the icebox shows made by Mike Riess https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96dLmfQ6j58 Oh and the attempt to continue the Critic as web cartoons. Which are really bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maE85PbGyxc

I haven't seen it since then and wow it's bad. I also remember watching this a lot on AOL Keyword Cartoon Network: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAegRgRkOU4 there was something really magical about flash cartoons in the 2000s. I wish homestar runner updated more nowadays.
