This thread is about things that have aged badly from the early 2000's.

Normally it's things from the 70s to 90s that crop up. Amazon has Jackass 2 and I watched it over 2 nights and yeah. Has not aged well.

So what can you think of that falls into the what were they/we thinking. A few I can think of.

Jackass
2002-2000. As I mentioned this is really puerile now but it was kind of funny/shocking. Most of the guys in it had drug and booze related problems no surprise.

Subway
Remember Jared? Ouch.

Nu Metal.
Died circa 2003, doesn't have a great legacy or reputation now. Looking through my CD collection I don't have to many but there's a Slipknot and a Limp Bizkit CD in there. I preferred Fear Factory and other metal bands though.

WWF Attitude Era
Dwayne the Rock Johnson is one of the biggest movie stars now. Wrestlemania 2001 was the zenith of the AE and the end. Guys more or less killing themselves in ring and people like Jericho leading chants in arenas calling a women a 4 letter word and the way women were portrayed.....

What's wrong with Seinfeld? I remember soup Nazi episode but never really got the show back then and didn't find it funny.

The show as a whole just didn't age very well, in my opinion.

But now that I think about it, my opinion might be biased. I saw a Jerry Seinfeld interview on Late Night back in 2015, where he was complaining about political correctness and how he wouldn't perform on college campuses anymore because "kids today are so easily offended" or somesuch.

Jackass wasn't good to begin with. Kind of like saying a pizza made with rotten anchovies didn't age well...

Auto Tune didn't age well at all.

Wearing plastic glasses frames without lenses...

B. Dalton Booksellers, Waldenbooks, and Borders Books - none of them aged well (being defunct).

Wasn't a massive Jackass fan back in the day, watched season 1 iirc.

Had a certain shock value I suppose.
