Realizing that the students I'll be teaching this academic year will be 10 years younger than me and how weird that is.
Someone needs to give me some 2000s pop culture refs that I can use so I can be funny in class.

I'm trying hard to remember my teens/early and what was big. Minecraft was a thing when I was about 20, right? Pop punk was what I was into circa 2001-2006. What was the tv like then? I can't fucking remember.

Everyone was getting into ipods when I was in high school. Pink razr flip phones. I dressed a lot in neon colours and skinny jeans and military jackets.

like I remember 2000 - 2010 very well, but I don't know what defined the time. It was post 9/11, but what was on tv? what were the video games that grabbed everyone? I remember when brawl came out but idk, didn't feel like that grabbed everyone.

i guess grey's anatomy was on tv. people were into that, I never cared about it. I can't remember what I even watched then. What anime was on tv? I watched a lot of digimon, but I can't remember when that was. Yugioh was also on a lot, watched that too but can't recall when.

So a cursory google has brought up which tv shows were big in the 2000s. 19 kids and counting, I remember that. There was a lot of discourse around that at the time and after the show ended. There was a lot of reality TV at this time actually that seemed very big.

I remember in Canada we had MuchMusic which showed music videos and stuff a lot, was really into that. There was also the discovery programme which I think I watched a lot of too.
