love the whimsy and childhood freedom energy in this picture!

But somebody's gotta say it because its important- i remember all that being middle-to-late 2000s like 2005-2008, not the early 2000s; 2000-2004 x3 most of that stuff wasn't around before 2005 or so. 5th grade for me was 2005 and that's when the idog came out and everyone had them but the ipod was still the gen 2 nano with the tiny screen for 2005 new, high tech.. gen 3 ipod nano i was in 6th or 7th grade when that was new and i upgraded to that the short one with the big screen- (Product) red version! so 2007 or 08. and i know the DS lite is 2006 or 2007 since it was white only upon release and i was bummed out about how boring it looked lol. i don't think black and pink were THAT far behind, but still not launch.
i wasn't a neopets kid so i can't speak on the neopet.

early 2000s was gameboy color until the gba came out, CD players with those books to put the CDs in, kanto & Johto pokemon, polly pockets, etc. an extension of the 90s with some extra cleanscape-computer stuff.

when i said "early 2000's" i meant "beginning of the 2000's century" the way you'd say "the early 1900s" xD if i was doing one just 2000-2004, it would overlap too much with the 90's one i just posted, so i chose things from the later half of the decade! i appreciate the insight though :3

i've never heard any of that described that way and it doesn't make sense. i'm not trying to be like, mean or anything i'm just pointing out of you wanna get this in front of people who have the nostalgia for that stuff you might wanna label it the right way so they can find it. i know i clicked expecting the early 200s and was disappointed to see it was all late 2000s stuff past when i was that age. also, this is the 21st century, not the 2000s century, and the one before is the 20th. that's always been what they're called and its what everybody knows them as. whenever anybody says "the 2000s" they mean 2000 thru 2009.

for me, the decade of 2000-2009 was defined by neopets, which i started playing in 2002. that led to me being super into things like nintendogs and idogs later in the decade, so i based this image around my specific experience of being into virtual pets during this era. everything depicted in this picture came out within the decade of 2000-2009, so it's not like i put in a bunch of stuff from 2010 . everyone's childhood was different, and i can only speak for my own. i don't think my description was off, but i will go ahead and remove the word "early" for you, since it seems to have confused you.

thanks, all i want is for people to label stuff accurately because it matters.

Me!
I want to go back ❤️🥲

saaame ;w; simpler times
