For all you 80s/90s kids, do you feel when you look back at years like 2008...

[NBAplayoffs2001]

It doesn't feel too long ago and then you realize it was 7 years ago?

Just to think that 2005 was 10 years ago is pretty absurd to me.

Time really does fly.

[Draz]

You high?

[NBAplayoffs2001]

You high?

Nah just thinking about the past a lot lately :oldlol:

[rufuspaul]

It really hits you when you have kids. My daughter started middle school this year and it seems like just yesterday she was a baby in the crib.

Think about the NBA in 2008. Steph Curry was a little-known skinny kid at a small college.

Yeah, funny that when you're a kid 2 weeks seemed like an eternity. Once you hit like 22, a month goes by in a flash.

Half of ISH wasn't even born yet. At least mentally.



Barack Hussein Obama wasn't in office. Ahh things were better just only 7 years ago.

[Velocirap31]

Ages 4-14 seemed to last a long time. Then high school drags on as well, but college/uni is over so fast. Then it gets worse from there... I'm already 4 years removed from university.

You know you old when you old enough to have kids

[L.Kizzle]

Why 2008, just a random year?

Things were really going to hell in 2008 for everybody. 2007 was the last year of denial, but people were already losing jobs and gas prices skyrocketed.

Everyone seemed happiest in the late 90's.

Da Fuq? The country was on the verge of financial collapse before the Kenyan socialist swooped in to save us.

[jimmybball]

All the time. Heck, early 2000s don't sound long ago until I remember what I was doing at those times, and what was going on in the NBA.

Same feeling. 2008 my son was in preschool. Now he's a 10 year old in grade 5 who going away to a soccer prep camp for the summer.
Relative to my own life, if I didn't have a kid it would not seen so long as nothing has changed in my personal life

I would say mid 90s, late 90s the stock market got hit pretty bad. but the mid 90s was the huge .com and tech boom. If you were a fresh graduate with a comp sci degree back then, you were in high demand.

And I totally agree about the 2007 being the last year of denial. Even as a teenager, I understood the 2008 crash really took a big hit on the economy. I remember being told that in 1999-2000 the economy took a quite big hit because of the .com bubble.

I personally loved growing up in the late 90s/early 2000s. One fond memory I have in the early 2000s internet wise is trolling Smarterchild on AOL. Always had fun with that ahah.

OH I agree with you 100%.

I was in High School then and things were vastly more pleasant for me. I think there's been a moral decay in society these past 15 years.

I will admit high school for me was a drag for the last two years especially. I was starting to get sick of the daily routine by mid junior year. College/university went by so quickly. Freshman year literally went by the quickest. I remember coming back the first night of freshman year summer and walked around my neighborhood for a bit the next morning and felt so weird and out of place lol.

Internet plus Hip-Hop have destroyed our youth.

Trust me, it still would.

[Knicks101]

OP you depressed bro?

[rufuspaul]

I remember we had a couple threads of what the OTC would've been like in the early 90s. People were posting shit like "just got a Compaq Presario with 14,000 bps preloaded with AOL!!!" :lol

[tmacattack33]

Yes, I understand.

Our memories probably move along with our development.

2005 feels like it was not too long ago.

But 1999 feels like ages ago.

And 1994 feels like it was another life. It's hazy as sh*t and I can't remember much from that time period.

I had a Compaq in 99 when I went away to college. Thing started to smoke after the first semester from how much porn was on there.


I remember waking my roommate up with the modem dial-up noise. :oldlol:

[Jailblazers7]

It does seem like a long time ago. My job makes me pretty aware of time tho because I'm constantly referencing historical data. It forces me to think about "what was happening in year X?" so it grounds my perspective on the passage of time in my own life.

The only time it surprises me is when I hear a song and look up the year it was released.

[magic chiongson]

kids i used to babysit have now finished college and/or are married
