Growing Up in the Early 2010s

[@MasterLu2]

As a Gen Zer (born 1998), the early 2010s were a golden age for our generation. Movies were amazing, video games were exciting and KZbin began to take off. Not to mention I was in middle school and early high school at that point which I considered a fun time. Sometimes I wish I could restart my life in 2010 just for the fun of it.

[@jacobj3933]

Also born in 98, September 7th. Majority of my own personal nostalgia is for the mid to late 90s media. In this case I'm referring to video games, music, shows/films, and the technology used to play all of these forms of entertainment. I was hardly interested in anything past the 2000s. Rarely playing a handful of games for the Ps3, and even then it was my 2 younger brothers who were more interested in the then, latest media. Around 2015 I barely began to play on the Xbox 360, by that point it was already an outdated gaming console since the Xbox One came out in 2013. The only games I played on the 360 were Minecraft (console edition, man that was a great version), and an already relatively "old" game called Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (released in 2013, and both the game and the company that made it have a ridiculous story behind them). The 2nd game was okay to somewhat good imo, but definitely not the worst game I've played.

1999 baby here. Something about the 2010s just felt right. Every year was a party or something new was going viral. There was always something different every year. There are so many memories I never thought I would have to cherish to this day. I was a straight-up gamer through those years, and I'd say gaming was at its peak.

we've finally hit the Gen Z version of the good old days.

gumball is better than sum shows airing today lol.

[@the_future_is_anarchy1791]

The only thing CN had at that time that my friends and I in high school liked was Regular Show and Adventure Time. But other than that, it sucked. I hated that they took Teen Titans off the air, among other classic shows. The only reason I even bothered watching CN at that time was because of my friends telling me about Adventure Time and Regular Show. But gaming at that time was incredible. You had two Elder Scrolls games come out relatively close to each other and multiple Halo and COD games. You'd play almost every weekend with your friends. That was such an amazing time, and to top it off, GTA 5 came out at the end of 2013. It's definitely unmatched compared to now, in my opinion. In fact, it's still unmatched. That's why I'm playing all the great games from that time for cheap now that I couldn't afford to buy growing up.

1996 kid here. It was a really good time to grow up, because as a child you still had the things what we call now 'back then' like VHS movies, a lot of cool magazines, no distraction through social media or smartphones .but as a teen you got to that technology and it was fascinating. And everything was more connected, you shared cheat codes for games at school or battled someone with playing cards. Really nice times.

[@legoman2313]

I love how quickly you covered pretty much every big event that kids experienced during this time. We’ll never forget it

[@Karinum]

one thing about 2000's and early 2010's is that the culture was also very different with it aswell, people were just really alive to just party and have fun and i feel like life was really at its peak, this was the time where technology was growing rapidly for not only consoles but for phones aswell, the ipod turning into the iphone and ipad getting released, people were experiencing greater newer technology, an iphone 4 or 5 can just fit super small in ur hand now compared to phones nowadays where they're pretty big. trends back then everyone was apart of no matter what it really was. i think the fashion sense back then was simplistic but alot of people mixed it up in their own ways. (also the justin beiber hate loool)

[@NostalgiCrazy]

Yep, technology really changed quickly back then. Just look at early KZbin vs early 2010s KZbin it's like night and day. I remember we had to put in a special URL just to see if a vid would load in HD 😅

2004 mf over here. Your video brought back some very fond memories of my childhood. Especially connected with you when you brought up the PS Vita. That handheld was the best thing to come out of Sony's ass in a hot minute. It kills me that there will never be anything like it again. Just like all things we took for granted. Something I've noticed over the now 20 years of my life is that whenever someone today says that time has flown by, what they really mean is that everything's changed. It has. And really fucking fast. Fuck, man. It feels like I should still be a kid yet I'm technically an adult typing on a phone that doubles as a jack-of-all-trades rectangular prism that can seemingly perform miracles. If you told me fifteen years ago that future phones could take my pulse using nothing but the main camera I'd have called bullshit. Yet with the novelty now in hand, it doesn't feel as magical as, say, the first time playing Minecraft 1.7.10. I guess what I'm trying to say is that our early decades are what count when it comes to comparing our experiences to something. And even though I'll never get to emulate the feeling of watching a let's play on 2007's KZbin ever again, I'm at least glad I did it in the first place. I also wish I had lived my childhood in the U.S. so that I could discover Adult Swim way earlier.

As for games I was playing during this time, it was mainly Mario Kart Wii, and 7, and lots of Pokemon since I got into the series in 2013 with Pokemon X. That was THE hyperfixation for the next few years. The friends I made during this time, mainly cuz of MKW, were.... good friends at the time, but I've sadly cut them off since then.

It felt like 2000s again feeling. The music better and they also old school hip hop remixes was better than modern mumble hip hop.

[@childishdestino]

Cartoon Network was the best. I used to watch a lot of keyblade as well, peak lego star wars too!

[@THEDARKKNIGHTXTDK]

@@childishdestino I like OG Teen Titans, Ben 10 Ultimate Alien, Clone Wars 2003 version, Foster’s Home, Codname KND, Clone Wars 2008 version and Ed Edd n Eddy were best.

[@ThatGuy-ky2yf]

​​@@THEDARKKNIGHTXTDK I remember watching Ben 10 a lot until early Ultimate Alien and stopped due to how good Regular Show, Gumball and Generator Rex were. I'm still baffled that Cartoon Network shafted the last season of Gen Rex around 2013 to morning slots

[@THEDARKKNIGHTXTDK]

@@ThatGuy-ky2yf I felt Cartoon Network died in the year 2013 because they don't run classics and Teen Titans Go! Came out that year then everything went downhill, and the dark age began. Worst times of all and everything changed.

[@ThatGuy-ky2yf]

@@THEDARKKNIGHTXTDK I'd personally say around 2016 because a few good shows were still ongoing like Adventure Time and Over the Garden Wall. I haven't checked the channel in a long time but there doesn't seem to be much that appeals to me since. 2016 and the disappointing Powerpuff Girls reboot alongside Steven Universe getting justified criticism was probably when people started to notice CN's quality decline.

[@pacman8675]

It makes me a little sad now sometimes when I get on my ps3 and don’t see anyone online seeing the short clip at the end with 11 people online is something I haven seen in a long time

[@childishdestino]

I remember I would always have 20+ friends online, but it's been a ghost town since around 2016.

[@Nickowar]

Bruhh I still listen to most of those songs you listed today 😭

[@childishdestino]

_I do too_

[@emongrier5391]

I was born in the late 2000s (2008). Most of my childhood was in 2010s obviously and yes, I think 2010s was goated, especially early 2010s where I was still somewhat conscious

[@legometaworld2728]

I was scared of Sackboy as a kid, for whatever reason. I even had a nightmare where he flashed me.

[@childishdestino]

[@swagknightx]

1999 baby. So happy I grew up in the early 2010s!

[@darkwolfy19]

I grew up in 2000s to 2010s god i miss those decades

[@squirmlygoof]

Early Gen Zer here (born in 2000), and words cannot describe how much I miss the early 2010's. Two years ago, I had a little breakdown about 2011 being 10-11 years old lol. I reminisce about the simpler times where I constantly make Flipnotes on my DSi. Even though my animations were shitty, I had a blast making them. Back then there was the CN Check It era with Gumball, Adventure Time, Regular Show. The Hub Network with MLP:FIM and Dan Vs. Nick with Big Time Rush and Victorious. And Disney Channel with Fish Hooks, Ant Farm, and Jessie. I really need a time machine here heh!

[@thattrickytrickster612]

I was born in 1999. My childhood was filled with that weird sweetspot of analog and digital tech, 90's music from my older cousins, and generally playing outside. Flip phones were the norm, CD's and tapes in the same cabinet. When I was a teen in the 2010's, KZbin was my TV. Pewdiepie, Markiplier, Smosh, etc. I played Minecraft on my iPad Mini, listened to music on my iPod, and I rarely even used social media unless it was a group chat with friends. Things were simpler back then.

[@guard1an839]

I myself was born in ‘04, so some of the stuff, I remember, just not as well. I can say for a fact that, while I didn’t start getting into pop songs until around 2012-2013 when I discovered the iheartradio app on my alarm clock, I do remember hearing my mom listening to these on her computer as she made dinner (she was a massive Bieber fan) as well as hearing some of them at school dances. I got my wii for Christmas of ‘11 and fondly remember playing New Super Mario bros with my younger brother on Christmas morning. It was always best when our dad played with us, since he was way better at it than either of us. I remember watching Minecraft videos back in the day (my brother and I bonded over watching these together) and playing pocket edition with my brother and our dad, typically when our mom had book club. I also remember Cartoon Network and Boomerang and Disney Channel, but I didn’t watch them super often because my parents didn’t have cable tv, but my grandparents in upstate New York had it, though, so bet your ass I’d watch Cartoon Network whenever I was up there.

[@9852323]

What alarm clock has apps? lol

PlayStation vita! I just got one and I'm excited to play it.

Nah scariest thing is when you went to bed watching CN and then adult swim scary ass shit popped up

[@adogg281]

As a millennial, I grew up in the 2000s and 2010s. I remember playing the GameCube and playing Metroid Prime 2 in 2004. As well as playing Super Mario Sunshine in 2002. I never got the chance to play Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 in 2002 and 2006 because my parents didn't buy me those games respectively. It's just stupid that my parents haven't bought me new games during those days. They sometimes do during my elementary school years. But in the mid-late 2000s, I started playing the Xbox 360 and PS3, and Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction and Halo 3 in 2007. Those games were amazing, and they had flaws during that time. PS3 and Xbox 360 usually have grey and brown graphics. But whenever my parents forced me to share with anyone to play a gaming console, I got very frustrated. But now, I'm not going to share it with anyone because I do my own thing. In the 2010s, I do recall that I played Mass Effect 2 on the PS3, and that game was amazing. I had to skip the loyalty missions and let my squadmates die on my first playthrough. But in the second one, almost half of them were killed.

[@skokan07]

I was born in 2007 and things in this video make me nostalgic even though I was just a kid back then. I wish I was born 10 years earlier to really experience those times
