15 Obsolete Sentences From The Early 2000s

2000? That was only like five years ago, right? Wrong!

As someone who grew up in the late '90s and early 2000s, I realize that a lot has changed. Some of the things I said back then wouldn't even make sense now.

Get ready to travel back in time to slang, technology and fads that you probably forgot about with 15 obsolete sentences from the early 2000s:

1. "Do you like my new AIM away message?"

I still remember stressing about what to put on my away message. Do you remember that annoying door-opening/closing sound effect when people signed on or off? There is also a hilarious Twitter account called Your Away Message that you should check out.


2. "Have you added SmarterChild to your buddy list?"

I loved those AIM bots that you could talk to if you were bored (or if you didn't have that many friends in middle school like me). SmarterChild was definitely the original Siri.


3. "Internet Explorer keeps crashing."

This screen probably looks familiar to you. I get stressed just looking at it.


4. "Mom, the VCR destroyed another VHS tape!"

VCRs could be vicious.


5. "I'm so jealous of your pink Motorola RAZR."

If you didn't own one, I guarantee you knew someone who did.


6. "Don't forget to bring your disposable camera!"

Even though a lot of people had cameras on their phones, disposable cameras were definitely still popular.


7. "Did you see that new episode of Boy Meets World?"

I am singing the theme song in my head right now.


8. "Why aren't you wearing your Livestrong bracelet today?"

I had one. There's a 99% chance you had one too (or you at least had some sort of rubber wristband).


9. "Check out my new Razor scooter!"

Razor scooters. Enough said.


10. "Can we play Tony Hawk?"

I was more of an SSX fan myself, but Tony Hawk Pro Skater for the PS2 was definitely a big deal.


11. "Let's trade Silly Bandz!"

Whoever came up with Silly Bandz was a genius. They must have made so much profit from such a tiny bit of shaped rubber.


12. "Yasmin is totally the best Bratz doll."

I never understood why you could take their feet off.


13. "Ooh, there's a sale on flare jeans at Wet Seal."

Apparently, Wet Seal does still exist, and they still sell products such as "Rhinestone Stitched Flare Jeans."


14. "I can't decide who to include in my Top 8 MySpace friends."

Oh, MySpace. Whatever happened to Tom?


15. "I'll meet you at Borders!"

This is by far the saddest sentence on this list. I'll never forget you, Borders.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
