idk if this is a real answer but I had students asking me about the 90s maybe around 2015ish or a little later...I asked why the interest and they mentioned that they saw ‘juice’ and some other 90s flicks on netflix and it looked like a “fun” time...also a lot of kids had parents who were “outside” during that time who shared music/movies with their kids...I was pleasantly surprised by kids who were into wutang and other 90s artists cuz their parents put them onto it...had to cut those conversations short tho...I didn’t like them getting too comfortable talking to me about rated R movies and explicit music/artists
Over a decade later, why aren't the 2000s romanticized like the 90s were?

Isolated culture ended with the rise of social media, everyone watching and doing different shyt, there is barely a "mainstream"
In the 90’s there were little to no misses, for the 00’s there’s two half’s:
The first half:
And the latter half:
The first half of the 2000’s was still pretty much the late 90’s. It wasn’t until ‘05-‘06 that things started to feel different

Because the early 2000s are underrated. You tend to not look at things underrated until someone explains it to you, then you like
If you think about it, the early 2000s was an extension of the 90s. Clubbing was still at an all time high. Music was still decent. People danced, there was no social media, etc. shyt like My Space was on the computer only, bytches was down to meet without flaking, etc.
Facebook live, Feminism, and Simps came through crushing buildings.

I was going to say this as well. I was born in 88 and I didnt really see 90s influence pop up until like 2012/2013 ish when it felt like alot of people were sampling early to mid 90s songs.
Mainly because people that grew up on the stuff were now in a position to make music and beheard (drake, j cole, DJ Mustard, Big Sean etc)
Feel like the same thing happened with puffy jay z kanye etc in the 90s/00s
Next thing you know social media filled with 90s memes about martin, fresh prince, etc.
The fashion was starting to reflect it as well (flannel, bright colors, ripped jeans, high top fades, etc)
I didn't read the thread but people always tend to glory the decade 20 years prior.
In the 90s, 70s nostalgia was the thing. In the 00s, it was the 80s and in the 10s, it was the 90s. Maybe we just haven't gotten far enough into the 20s yet.

give it a little while the nostalgia will hit ha*
This, and i think the fact that alot of the most popular parts of of the 00s are still talked about regularly today is also delaying it a bit,
Example, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Batman movies, Avatar, SPiderman, Denzel Washington, Fast and Furious. Technology is better but realistically the same. Still listen to music digitally,still stream videos still use cell phones etc. Hairstyles are still acceptable today/ Alot of that stuff is still relevant.
Hard to be nostalgic at this point.
Stuff from the 90s already had to time to fade away and come back. We no longered use beepers, dial up internet, Hairstyles wear different. we went through, cassettes and cd's, vhs tapes and dvds People didn't do remake after remake at that point, so alot of famous Ip's were long gone.
There was alot more stuff we did back then that we no longer do now.
OT but I remember some kids in my class were playfully joking this white student in my class (cool kid tho they all were) cuz she literally never even heard of ‘fresh prince of bel air’ which I think was rerunning on TBS at the time
Lol 70s nostalgia was never a thing

Outside of 2003 and maybe 2004 most of the decade hovered between soso and trash for the most part plus, once 9/11 happened it was pretty somber for the rest of that decade.
When i was young i remember Bruce Lee being the most popular shyt even though he died years before. people were making nun chucks out of sticks and busting themselves in the head.
Most of black media flamed out in 2006.
