Captain Planet reboot? Is this for real? I loved the old show.

2000s nostalgia? Not too far off.
If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.

Once that hits, I will feel like a sad, dried-up crusty old man.

I'm actually looking forward to it, if for no other reason than the fact that I have no fucking idea what stuff defined the 2000s.

...I guess GTA and Nu Metal?

They're also on Netflix...

It will all be clear eventually. I can specifically remember thinking that the 90's seemed so similar to today that I'd never be able to tell them and the 2000's apart, but now it's been so long that it's easy to spot the style of the 90's. And so now we know which things defined it, and which things were just peripheral junk.

I'm sure that rap, superhero movies, mp3 players, social networking, the PS2 and DS, and Spongebob will be considered hallmarks of the 2000's, but I can't narrow it down past that.

Yeah, I think it'll be interesting to see how the 2000s gets filtered out in the next decade or so.

You may as well start feeling like a crusty old man now; Spongebob debuted in 1999.
